English is a language some call a "bastard language".
This is so because it is a mix of two very different languages, French, a romantic language(meaning it finds it's roots in Latin, not because it will elevate your lovelife) and German, a Slavic (Baltic, idk...) language.
You see, when the English, (people in England) were developing their own culture, they spoke German. Then the French invaded, and in generations to come, the royalty spoke French and the peasants German. Somewhere, the two mixed and mutated, and English was born.
There is a king who was the first king to speak english, but I forget who it was.
This concludes the random fact of the day for July 12, 2007. Thanks you for your time.
