English words vs Other languages
Do you believe that English words are completely disordered, I mean, there is nothing 'Englishy' about English words. When I see a random English word it could just as easy be a word of Bengali or Nurabosith. In other languages, words are recognisable as a word of that language much easier. Is it because English is a 'hybrid language' or because of non concrete spelling?
btw , I think this belongs to this forum due to comparison with other languages, but feel free to move it if you desire.
I think it's because of the way English is spelled. If you hear an English word, you can tell that it's English and not another language.
because it is a hybrid language
English is not a hybrid language...
and especially not any more than any other (Latin, French, Albanian, Korean, Japanese, etc)
English IS a hybrid language much more tahn any other in Europe
<<English IS a hybrid language much more tahn any other in Europe >>
No it's not. It originates from only one source: Middle English < Old English < *Anglo-Frisian West Germanic < Proto-Germanic < Indo-European.
If you think otherwise, then prove it.
Finnish, as stated above, is another language heavily influenced lexically by another, in this case Swedish.
Here, I have bracketed out all the non-English (i.e. the un-"Englishy") words for you:

*I have not bracketed out the word 'are' as this form can either be thought of as native (O.E. earon) or from Old Norse ('erun').
The structure of the language is completely English. Word order is as well. Nope, nothing hybrid about it.
Oops, I left out [spell]ing, which in this sense comes from French<Frankish/O.H.G; as does 'random' (O.Fr. randir< Frankish ranjan)
In a language, such as Korean, the proportion of Sino- and English loans to native Korean words would be much higher than in the English excerpt above, and Korean is in no way a hybrid language. Korean grammar is totally unlike both Chinese and English: words borrowed are incorporated into the language on a Korean system and operate just as if they were native words--just like words in English.
No it's not. It originates from only one source: Middle English < Old English < *Anglo-Frisian West Germanic < Proto-Germanic < Indo-European.

Yes it is, I don't have to prove anything, it's widely known, except for you evidently, besides being an hybrid language English vocabulary is made by almost any other European language (Spanish, French, Italian....)
<<Yes it is, I don't have to prove anything, it's widely known, except for you evidently, besides being an hybrid language English vocabulary is made by almost any other European language (Spanish, French, Italian....) >>
That's because you can't. And you can't because English is not a hybrid language. Maybe only uneducated and easily influenced folk think that.
It's was also widely known that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction...did it? --Where are they? I have never heard anyone ever suggest that English is a hybrid language.
Name me one feature of the English language, other than the borrowing of words--a feature that all languages share (even Spanish French and Italian), that comes from a language other than English. You can't.
Even if you could, that still wouldn't qualify as a hybridization. Do you even know what hybrid means? Descending from two different and distinct strains/lineages you goof! The only thing about English that might remotely be called hybrid are some individual words like: tele+vision, gentle+man, starv+ation, but those are words--not the language as a whole.
<<English vocabulary is made by almost any other European language (Spanish, French, Italian....) >>
Which of these words of yours come from Spanish French or Italian:
Do

English isn't the result of mixing French, Spanish, Italian whatever. Do you get English when you mix those together? I dont think so.
This is stupid.
<<Yes it is, I don't have to prove anything, it's widely known, except for you evidently,>>
if that's widely know ur an idiot

You forgot to bracket the word 'just'. Just is another unenglishy word.
