      They weren’t the same country but for a few centuries England did have French Kings. And whilst the English lanaguge has 30% origin in French that doesn’t mean you’re going to be able to understand anyway near that amount of French without studying it just because you can speak English. Imo, That’s why the overlap on language doesn’t feel as large as it is, but the Norman conquest did certainly change the language quite a lot. However, it is a Germanic language with influence from a few places.

    • @Handle0108
      @Handle0108 2 роки тому +1

      @@archivesoffantasy5560 the reason you can’t understand French to that degree as an English speaker is because both languages tend to change the pronunciation of the base Latin/Greek words quite a bit. Whereas if you look at languages that are closer in pronunciation to the Latin root words like Spain and Italy it’s much easier for them to understand each other.
      So it’s a matter of pronounciation and not necessarily different words that are difficult to understand. I say this as someone who speaks both.

    You made a mistake: France was not created in 1792. That's the creation of the first Republic, but France was a thing before that.
    Better dates would be:
    481, Corronation of Clovis as King of the Franks.
    843, creation of the Kingdom of West Frankia after the death of Charlemagne.
    987, Hughes Capet's corronation and the kingdom is now called Kingdom of France.

      Germany was created in 1870, France was created in one of the three dates I gave you, Italy was created in 1861 etc... there wasn't the need to invent the concept of "modern X" when the countries have a clear date of origin.

    Major “only I can tease uk/France now GIVE IT TO ME”
    I could actually see them as siblings
    And the kings actually kinda help it more
    France kept the ancient Romans stuff and encouraged to paint like them in charlemagnes ruling while uk taught how to read during the ruling of Alfred the great,even though they were different time periods it just makes it even out as the British could read and the french had preserved the writing and paintings.
