What makes French a Latin-Germanic mixed language

All European royal houses are of German or French origin.
This rule doesn't know any exception.

German:
- UK
- Belgium (Sachsen-Coburg)
- Denmark (Glücksburg-Oldenburg)
- Norway (from Denmark)
- and Germany + Austria of course (Hohenzollern and Habsburg)

French:
- Italy (House of Savoy)
- Spain (Bourbon)
- Sweden (Bernadotte)
- and France of course (Bourbon-Orléans)

Mixed:
- The Netherlands: Oranje (French)-Nassau (German)

" ...all the Romance peoples like French, Italians, Spanish etc. have also Germanic ancestry. They are all descendents of Mediterranian AND Germanic populations...That is why French probably is a Germanic-Latin mixed language. "

This is ridiculous. first french is not a germanic-latin mixed language.
Secondly, even if the french (and other latin peoples) were mixed germanic/latin in origins, there is no reason why it should necesserally makes the language mixed itself.
Let's see, most latin-Americans are largely a Spanish/native mix, that doesn't make the language they speak a Native-latin mixed language.




If we continue to minimize the impact of the migration period on the European peoples and languages, we will never understand Western European culture. E.g., French nationalists tend to state that only a handful of Franks once immigrated into their beautyful country and were quickly absorbed by the Gallo-Roman masses. In the meantime, science has definitively falsificated this scenario....

You cannot deduce the situation with Romance languages by logic, nor by analogy with other similar situations. You must look at Romance languages ONLY and determine what is what from there.

It's very possible, and most likely proable, that the two outcomes from the Germano-Latin mix and Hispano-native mix are totally separate and show absolutely no relationship to one another.

Very true. One obvious reason for this could be that in the early middle ages neither Germanic nor Latin or any mixture of them both were written down and publicated by the mass press invented by Mr. Gutenberg 1000 years later.

People who say French is a Latin-Germanic hybrid are French have inferiority complex. They would like to be Germans.

"People who say French is a Latin-Germanic hybrid are French"

-- Non. Le type qui défend cette thèse absurde ("ouest") semble ne même pas comprendre le français.

Ce qui en dit long sur sa compétence...

Parisien:
competence = speaking French - very funny....

I must be missing something but french is a germanic-type language, isn't it? I mena thats what I always thought it was

Yes, French derives from Old Norse.

Assimilated Germanics
From the Migrations Period and forth, Germanic peoples are often referred to as quick to assimilate into foreign cultures. Established examples include the romanized Norsemen in Normandie, and the societal elite in medieval Russia among whom many were the descendents of slavified Norsemen (a theory, however, contested by some Slavic scholars in the former Soviet Union, who name it the Normanist theory).

Scotland is a country of mixed Germanic and Celtic culture; while the Scottish Highlands and Galloway are more Celtic and akin to Celtic Ireland in its culture and Scottish Gaelic language, the Scottish Lowlands share their culture and language closely with its neighbour to the south and other Germanic peoples, speaking the Scots language. The Orkney Islands and Shetland Islands, though a part of Scotland, are Scandinavian in culture, though they no longer speak their native language Norn. Ireland is also a country of mixed Germanic and Celtic culture, but for different reasons than from Scotland. As with Scotland, Ireland had much Scandinavian settlement, both in Viking and Anglo-Norman colonies. Through centuries of British dominance, many parts of Ireland gradually developed a character that was more British than native Celtic, particularly in Ulster and Leinster. France saw a great deal of Germanic settlement, and even its namesake the Franks were a Germanic people. And entire regions of France (such as Alsace, Burgundy and Normandy) were settled heavily by Germanic peoples, contributing to their unique regional cultures and dialects. But most of the languages spoken in France today are Romance languages, while the people have a heavy Gallic substratum that predates Latin and Germanic settlement. *

In my opinion ,assimilation of Germanic people was occured through the ages. Germanic -Romance language border was far to the South and West than it is today.Flemish was spoken to the South from Lille (Ryssel) area in France and in Dongelberg, Estampuis(Steenput), Steenkerque(Steenkerke),Estaimbourg(Steenburg),Merdorp,Havelange(Havelingen) areas of Belgium,Limburgish-to the south from Liege(Luyck),Ripuarian-around Verviers (in Belgium), Frankish-in Nancy(Nanzig) area of France.

Q: "What makes French a Latin-Germanic mixed language?"

A: Almost nothing.
Languages don't mix.

( ... boring thread ... )

<<Q: "What makes French a Latin-Germanic mixed language?" >>

'Tis True. We'll conclude that french is a germanic language then, and just leave it at that. Boring thread anyway

"People who say French is a Latin-Germanic hybrid are French have inferiority complex. They would like to be Germans. "


NEVER! We prefer to be French Latin only. What is it so great about germans ? Nazism ? I prefer the Renaissance and Italian.

"We'll conclude that french is a germanic language"


Shut up! French is a Romance language OK ? we don't speak nazi language.
