was there a group of people that created the language or was it something that happened over time with no specific group of people? meaning the people that added to the language are did not exist at the same time.
@Yulianna Do you seriously believe the populations of the world will line up to get their vaccination and then accept not getting their life back? I don’t.You may be happy to spend the rest of your life living in lockdown but I don’t think everyone is. If all I have to look forward to is staring at the same four walls until I die then I think I might as well call it a day now.
@TheSirfurryanimalWales you are too extreme... vaccination may well ease restrictions, but for now they cannot lift them totally. because no one knows!
most likely scenario, it will be like flu, new vaccine every year, 30k deaths a year, and people paying more attention to public hygiene.
the more the idiots ignore the laws, the longer the problem.
it was found in a bottle... once the cork was pulled and the air got to it, its spores spread like wildfowl across the globe and seeded the innocent brains of the mute happy apes, who then started arguing so much that some of them jumped out of their trees and walked away, so becoming the first homo erectus.
@Aidan yea that is interesting because our language sounds very little like most others, my native language sounds so much like a few other languages that I can hear thoes languages and get the gist but with english very few words are like spanish and spanish is the closest i have heard.
@Girlyfriendcollecting Angles and Saxons were West Germanic people who settled England in the 5th to 7th century from Germanic urheimat, likely near Germany and Denmark. They intermingled with the native Celtic people. Then there was a Viking invasion at a stage to and then a Norman French invasion. Those all kinda intermingled to form the English people.
That said it's important to remember English isn't the same as British. British people include Celtic people like the Scots, Welsh and Cornish.
Professor Joe Bloggs when he had idle afternoon.He thought through it all very carefully making sure the spellings and pronunciations made no sense at all. Largely successful.
Olde English emerged from the dialects and vocabulary of Germanic peoples—Angles, Saxons, and Jutes—who settled in Britain in the 5th century CE, English today is a constantly changing language that has been influenced by a plethora of different cultures and languages, such as Latin, French, Dutch, and Afrikaans.
