Reply to comment by GronakHD in Where did the English language REALLY come from? by MagicRaptor

As is nearly every other language, French is a mix of Gaulish, germanic Frankish, Latin and more. Yet no one tries to deny France existing to the extent that happens with England/English as a nation.

I think it's just people who speak English only and think it's a uniquely crazy language lol, anyone who speaks anything can tell you about loan words, language families, weird grammar rules and all that

Yes. I guess just because it happened more recently than other languages it’s more interesting.
