>>9642767>Why would you ask that on /bant/ of all places?I don't think that there's any board suited for linguistic discussion, so why not ask it here?
>English and German are both Germanic languages, right?Yeah, but in this case they just have a common ancestral language, and since Germany and England didn't interact closely during the genesis of English their mutual influence is neglecteable, I think. Unlike Germans, Danes had a pretty intense interaction with Anglo-Saxons during the times of Danelaw, so I suppose there must be some traces of Danish language left in English. Not to the same extent as of French, but still.
>Also don't you dare post THAT image.Do I look like maggy to you ffs
