Peržiūrėti šaltinį The english language

<b>The english language</b> is typically classified as "a west-germanic language",
<br> alongside the german, dutch, and frisian languages (which are
<br> true west-germanic languages), but it is not one.
<br> The truth is that the english language is a germanic-latinoid creole.
<br> Specificly, it is a creole between saxon west-germanic, british latin,
<br> anglish west-germanic, old danish norse, and norman proto-french.
<br> It is the most creolized language in Europe.
<br> The english language contains more [[latinoid]] ("romance") words than germanic words,
<br> such as "grand", "color", "mischief", "proud", "surface", "beef", "foreign", and "stew", among others, 
<br> and consequently it is easier for a nativ english-speaker to learn a latinoid language
<br> than to learn a true germanic language.

The language-name "english" is named-after the northumbrian angles,
<br> who were the culturally-dominant people of Britain prior to the first norse invasion
<br> and the consequent domination by the saxons.

The english language is full of flaws,
<br> the biggest of which are widespread non-phonetic spelling
<br> and copious homonyms and homophones.
<br> Other flaws include, but are not limited to,
<br> non-standard plural nouns (e.g. "people"),
<br> non-distinct plural nouns (e.g. "fish"),
<br> and non-standard past-tense verbs (e.g. "went").
<br> Due to such copious flaws in the english language,
<br> [[english language reform]] is necessary.
