Yes but thats tracing back the french influence on MODERN english, which can be traced back very far. If we look at the extremely isolated early medieval england, their english had little to no french influence. That being said, yes, modern english is alot like archaic french, because french back then, like english now, was a blend of latin and germanic languages English is a huge mix of languages Not exactly. It really only has romantic and germanic influences. Though some borrowed words from slavic groups do exist, they are very rarely used and are mostly slang |
