Arabic and Somali

[fardowsa]

Anglish and German came from the German family. If German and English are so close why does have Rindfleischetikettierungsueberwachungsaufgabenuebertragungsgesetz. English has more influence by French and Norse than Deutsch.

Like how Somali and Oromo are Cushitic language but the are not the same.

English is closer to Norse not German, I can understand a person who is from Norway or denmark than a German.

German. English core vocabulary and grammar is all Germanic. People like to survey English vocabulary and say, "look at all these French and Latinate words!", but all those words are used so rarely as to be negligible for the purposes of classifying the language. Unless you're looking at a medical dictionary, English vocabulary is still about 70% Germanic

Yeah, open a french book and a German Book. You would understand French more. We write the like the Germans but we don't speak like the Germans, English developed in the Areas of Germanic. Correct. Norse is Germanic language
100% percent German-English is Anglish. We say Umbrella which came from Italian for ombrella, Anglish would be Rainshade. German and English are Germanic language because Genetic relationship if we go way back they would be Speaking the same thing. When the Romans came they brought they're Language with them. So as the Norse, French and MORE.

Sxb @Khalid Hussein you seem quite confused.
How can Somali, a firmly cushitic language, be more similar to a semitic tongue than its own Cushitic relatives like Oromo or Beja?
That makes no sense.

English is a Germanic language. This means that the structure and format, as well as rootwords and cognates make it more similar to German than French, a Romance language. This should be simple to understand. There is no debate.

He is picking random French loanword and random words to prove point but doesnt work like this
German is closer to english than frenh

Just like somali close to af maay cafar saho

I am not saying English is Romance language it has more romance than Germanic. English has a Germanic sentence Struchure but in terms of the number of words we have more Romance than Germanic.

I dare you to speak Somali to an Oromo in the huge mountain ranges, he will not understand one bit I have been in this situation when I went Oromo kilil in 2015. I wanted to prove my friends that Oromo and Somali have no relation. I spoke Somali to a refugee from Yemeni he understood a few words. My theory worked.

Semitic languages, My favorite out of all the Language families.
Like English, we have a lot of Arabic loanwords. But we still need Arabic, We the word EBE OR AEBE we use illah and Allah

In Arabic, you start a sentence with a Verb. Some cases you start with a subject Noun.
But Somali, It starts with Subject object then verb.

And by the way ductape I didn't say Somali is Semtic

English is close to German by Proto words and sentence Structure. 58% of all English words came from Romance languages due to Norman conquest.

Khalid Hussein is a moron, seriously.

Linguistic classifications are based on the original language, not borrowed vocabulary. The original English words are all of Germanic stock (water, blood, man, night, father, mother, day, house, milk etc).

Due to social stratification with the Norman conquest a lot of French and Latin vocabulary was absorbed as a sign of prestige, but the grammar of English is all Germanic and so are virtually all of its basic words.

Oromo/Afar is closer to the Somali language then Arabic. We also share more vocabulary with those 2 languages than Arabic. So what's your point?

Apparently Somali - Eastern Oromo share 40 % vocabulary
Somali - Afar should 25 % vocabulary.
Somali - Arabic? 1 %?

 

[Apollo]

Somalis split from the other Horners around 3,000 years ago.

So the distance between proto-Somali and the other Cushitic languages is a bit more remote than between the various European languages. Romance languages are fairly new, and so are most Germanic ones due to Völkerwanderung during Roman times.

 

[oday1kenobi]

58 percent of English is Romance and only 29 percent is Germanic. not 70 percent.

Yes, but the core base and structure of the language (everyday words that make up much of our typical speech) is still Germanic hence why English sounds completely different to french than say German, Danish, and Frisian.

 

[Apollo]

Somalis are the Basque of the Horn. Not closely related to anybody. :siilaanyolaugh:

On a genetic plot, you can always easily spot the Somali from an Oromo (both North and South Oromos).
