Gosh it still sounds like BS anyway in order to cut it out I’ll do what Caltex did (after answering the thread's question in the US) after I quote him again for I like his English clear and easy to dig "in lieu of the fact that no real debate can go on in a thread where nobody is contesting others statements, might as well continue the threadjack!"
Well then let’s keep talking about Linguistics they say words can never hurt me… Let’s see: We already spoke about French (forgive me for the rest of my part) Spanish, Portugese, Italian and almost forgot Romanian but we pretty much have a group here with relatively more roots *within/into* Latin than any other latter language supposing Latin is still a dead language who knows. BTW still I cannot be sure about all this but it comes from a teacher *in/at* University who holds classes about Roman Linguistics and who is backed by many other guys like him from whom you can get some sources on the web or I would try to look it up would you not and still are interested in this threadjack!
Back to it so I’ve heard that in the ex-Roman-Empire, Latin was still used officially in writtings but became more and more altered because of time and its inherent conflict with its more vulgar counterpart which was almost always only spoken… That so-called Vulgar Latin or whatever it is called in English (please enlight us) later even evolved in what is known as some kind of Roman which was basically only spoken and used *next to/with* the official Latin which again still became funny in its own way anyhow… Untill the 9th Century in France where both Latin and *Roman* (*Old French*) regained a new *light/dawn*… The first official «French» document is dated in 913 only short times after British monks massively came here to reform our Churches with their exceptionally classic Latin left relatively clean from *infections*… Same thing happened in the rest of the *Ex-Roman-Empire* in the 13th Century again with both the official Latin getting back its glamour and a second officially elected language its new grammar... My teacher (Spanish) didn’t say much about English or German though it was An Introduction to Roman Languages… Do you guys know about the history of your own language(s)??? I was *stamped/stomped* when I first heard I was French because of Brits... Anyway if there is not anybody out there anymore I'll rest my case!!!
lol 
amen [/Caribbean] didn't I sound suspect enough
