Yeah so you keep saying. The modern English language is Germanic based but was still unique to England. The English language takes words from
Scandinavian languages, French, Celts, Greek, Hindi, Latin and a few others, but the spelling was again unique to the Englisc (now English)
language.
The modern version of English came about in the 16th century and at that time one of the most important contributions to MY language was the word
sCeptic and it's correct spelling with a C.
But the most dominant part of my language that has survived is Anglo Saxon of old English (which they borrowed the alphabet from the Britons who used
Latin, as they didn't read or write and had no alphabet of their own, and thus we use the Latin alphabet). What we kept from the Germanic was not
spelling but the use of verbs, and the use of past and present tenses, as well as other forms of grammar. Oh and the use of the word sCeptic...
