ok I asked chatGPT and I think Latin is clearly more Roman than Greek is (chatgpt tries to downplay this but I think this is just chatgpt trying to be politically correct):

people honestly just need to be wary of ikhwanis. this guy lives in Turkey if I'm not mistaken. I am sure he loves Morsi and froths at the mouth against MBS and Sisi. I'm not making any statement here for or against any of those people but I'm just saying- I'm 99% sure this is one of the ikhwani people.

I have seen him once criticizing Sisi other than that I'm not sure about his affiliations.

Chatgb is wrong of all Romance languages French is the farthest from Latin

imo Italian and Spanish are closest to Latin then Portugese then French. I meet people from Brazil all the time. I talk to them in Spanish, they respond in Portugese and we can pretty much understand each other. but they have a weird pronounciation that is different from how Latin, Italian and Spanish are pronounced. but I can still understand a lot of what they're saying. with French- I can look at written French and understand a lot of it... you can see the Latin base if you look at the actual spelling. but their pronounciation is... way different.

anyways- I could be wrong here because I'm just guessing but I think Romans spoke Latin and then later expanded East. Didn't Caesar and Cicero all speak Latin? so I think Latin is more Roman than Greek is.

Rome started with the Latin people in centra Italy. Rome was a soley Italian state until they beat cartage and started expanding all directions.

They all spoke Latin and the Romans used a policy of romanization in many provinces which is why France Spain Portugal and Romania are all Latin nations. Romania is a special case because it's disconnected from the rest in the west but the reason it became Latin was because of I think emperor Trajan who conquered what used to be the Kingdom of Dacia and sent Romans to settle it and created the modern Romania.

Latin was ofc the main language but the whole roman culture and society was heavily based on the greeks who still maintained influence in the east. Educated Romans all learned Greek and studied Greek works, copied their architecture, art ect. The Empire split overtime unto a Greek speaking east and Latin speaking west which eventually evolved into a religious divide (Catholic vs orthodox ) and the empire itself being divided.

I'm not an expert but I do question chatgpt's take on French being closer to Latin than Portugese. Spanish and Portugese are almost the same language, I don't understand how chatGPT can say Spanish is second after Italian and then say Portugese is fourth after French. I can talk to Brazilians in Spanish, they respond in Portugese and we can have full conversations like that. But there's no way I could do that with a French-speaker, I will have no idea what they're saying.

Why do people think when the books talk about Ethiopia they think about the modern country.
Ethiopia referred to either all of blanc Africa or just modern Sudan.
When you see a mention of Ethiopia in the books it is talking about Sudan. If they mean the modern country they will say abyssinnia or something like that.

Only reason those guys changed the name is because the country's old name Abyssinia meant land of habasha and obviously the empire back in the 50s & 60s is at least half non-Ethio semite.

Abyssinia of the Bible is Sudan, but the one in the Quran is Northern Ethiopia/Eritrea
