i think i understand more old english then what the actual english does. I'm from Sweden and i don't even need subtitles for the words that they were saying in the classroom :)
That's very true. If you listen to Shashi Tharoor, a well spoken Indian Politician, in this video, he sounds Welsh as opossed to Indian. ua-cam.com/video/OB5ykS-_-CI/v-deo.html
@savita1926 fittest means exactly ability to meet up to requirements; = the one best fitting.You´re using the word in a reduced meaning like " well exercised " or " sporty " If changing with time or adaption is required to meet the requirements that would make you the fittest.
@RolandStGermain If English was both Germanic and Romantic it would be a Creole language, which it is not. English borrowed a lot of vocabulary from French, but also from just about every other language out there. Most of these words we don't use. French was heavily influenced by Germanic and even some Celtic. Do we say French is Romantic, Germanic and Celtic?
@RolandStGermain If English was a hybrid language, I would say it had more of a Norse influence than a French one. The Norse not only contributed lots of vocabulary (words we use in the every day speech) but also changed the grammar and syntax as well. But that would still make English a Germanic language. Nothing changes that.
Yes, I agree, fredrik2k3k. My mother is Frisian and her mother's tongue sounded always very familiar to the English language when I listened to it at a young age. I've always known how to speak English, it seems and may be due to shared roots, on both sides of the North Sea Channel, but certainly for the beauty of the land, I now live in the S.West of Britain.
@groundzerobuild lol "Arabic is the God's language" ? i thought islam only had one god? the meaning of allah akbar suddenly became meaningless according to your explanation :)

This is the coolest thing ever!!!!
extremely informing :)
The Welsh accent sounds a lot like Indian English.
It really does

Not saying that is what I believe...but that is the way of history.
i am trying to find the episode THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. anybody know which one it is?
Does anybody know the spelling of the welsh poet that they features's name? Eleanid Phillips? Cannot find it online
Do the Welch have a hard a time understanding American English as we do them?
@0TheSeeker Don't know if I would agree with that. German has more complex grammar of course but the flow of the language is more like English.

@RolandStGermain Understood. Seems I have encountered a lot of people on here who try and make that argument :)
Haha, West Country dialect sounds vaguely American....must've been the basis for the American accent

7:25 Bad example. The meaning does not really change in modern English either.
sounds more Irish than American
Why is there no 144p option?!

if we germans say "se" instead of "the" we don't speak with a strong german accent, we just pronounce this word the right way^^

Survival of the fittest, as the Darwinists say.
