The reason we don’t have our own language is that you all colonized everything you could reach and forced the natives to speak English or be killed. And most of the time, native peoples didn’t have that choice, they were just killed. So people in the Americas would’ve had their own languages if Europeans didn’t come here and ruin them by killing them. Same goes for a bunch of countries across the world. So.....

Yeah the English were literally forced to speak French whilst William the Conqueror (or Guillaume) was in power under pain of death. You imbeciles or should I say 'imbéciles'
Oh fuck it guys can we just say it’s all derivations of Latin, likewise with the other languages that were listed given that the Latin alphabet contains the letters in which the Germans, us and French etc still use today.
But the English language originated from west Germanic- so technically anyone no matter where they’re from today unless they’re western Germanic and speaks English is speaking someone else’s language.
blondie xx we don’t get to chose what to call it, we can just decide one day to go to Wikipedia or a dictionary and change the name of the language we use, that’d be great; but it just won’t happen.
To anyone curious enough as to why there's a lot of French words in English, I'll just brush up on a bit of "super quick" history, and some etymology, so skip if you don't feel like reading a lot lol. EDIT: Had to shorten it cause I went full on writing an essay LMAO William the *Bastard* of Normandy won the Battle of Hastings(1066) and became King of England, and taking the new title of William the *_Conqueror_* . He was a Duke from Normandy(NW coast of France), who was a _vassal_ who pledged his fealty to the King of France. Normans, were once Vikings who were given territory by the French King, King Charles III, back in 911 AD, because the Vikings basically pillaged and massacred a lot, and it annoyed the French King obviously lol. The catch was that they swore fealty to him, becoming France's subjects, and they protect France from future Viking invasions. They settled and inter-married with the local French population, and eventually created a separate identity, and adapted French culture, language, and customs. *_Norman_* came from the word "Norsemen", meaning people of the "North". So England, and eventually the rest of the British Isles and parts of Ireland, were ruled by the Normans for centuries, they brought with them their culture and language, and even many of the castles and cathedrals were built by the Normans(importing castle-building technology and architecture from France to Britain). As a result, a lot of the French words we still use today, especially the ones from Old French and Norman French(later Anglo-Norman), are more associated with power, government, formality, and class. The Norman lords used words like _bœf_ (beef), _porc_ (pork), _venesoun_ (venison) and _mouton_ (mutton) as words used to differentiate the meat that they consumed from the actual animal raised by the peasants, while the English peasants ate cow, pig, deer, and sheep. The English eventually borrowed MANY French and Norman words and is now in our everyday speech. This created "etymological twins" where we both have words of Germanic origin(Anglo-Saxon) and of French and Latin origin, but having similar meaning, often in differing context. Examples of these are: *Germanic* *French* to ask to inquire thoughtful pensive belief faith weird strange a drink a beverage woods forest understand comprehend room chamber come arrive leave depart book craft literature belly stomach cook(noun) chef think conceive house mansion abide obey fair beautiful deadly lethal friendly amicable We can literally go on and on lol And then, we absorbed a lot of French words throughout the years, and we have an interesting situation where we have a word that was first borrowed from Old French and Norman French, and also have a word borrowed from Modern French, while still keeping the words of Old/Norman French origin. An example of this is: CASTLE & CHATEAU: _chastel_ (Old French) -> _castel_ (Late Old English) -> (Modern English) *_castle_* _chastel_ (Old French) -> _château_ (Modern French) -> (Modern English) *_chateau_* We took both words but in different time in history, and applied it to different types of buildings. They both came from the same origin, but developed and taken in different times in history, "castle" was back in the Middle Ages, and "chateau" in the 18th century. Castle is called "Château fort" in Modern French, basically "fortified castle". Then you have old French words that we took in the Middle Ages, but are not used in France anymore, or it evolved differently into Modern French. An example is: PURCHASE: In English: (Old French) _porchacier_ -> (Anglo-French) _purchaser_ -> (Modern Eng) *_purchase_* In French: (Old French) _porchacier_ -> (Modern French) *_pourchasser_* The original meaning from the Old French word was, "to go after something", "achieve", "pursue". It eventually evolved in English as "to acquire". In Modern French, the word evolved to _pourchasser_ which means "to hunt down", because the word _chasser_ is the word "to hunt". The verb "to buy" in Modern French is _acheter_ , which came from Vulgar Latin _accattare_ . Bonus words: "achieve" and "pursue" all came from Old French too, _achever_ and _pursuer_ lol In conclusion, we took a lot of words from French, and also Latin, which makes English the most Latinised or Romanised Germanic language. Thanks for reading!
Willy Ekerslike Yep. English is derived from a lot of languages, but ya know, all languages come from somewhere. Well nice talking to you. I hope your quarantine is going well! 😊
So us British steal one word from the french but it’s ok that Americans copied are whole dictionary and removed the words that take effort to say 😂 lol, nice 👍
Both British English and American English were independently standardized in the 1800's. Dictionaries did not exist before the language was standardized.
Wi ll ??? We didn’t steal your language! Your language came to us from colonization! Most white people and most blacks in America have descended from the British colonies! Your people forcefully taught SLAVES English and wouldn’t let them speak their native language! You BROUGHT English to the colonies that your king created!
Lord Voldemort Actually the Spanish ( Christopher Columbus) first colonised your country and during 1776 your country voted to change there national language to German yet you decided to keep the English so now who’s forcing it down your throat? Seem like your enjoying it 😂
Wi ll lol what. Colombus never stepped foot in what we now know today as the USA, he landed in the Bahamas. And the spanish colonized the Southwest and Florida. The English colonized the 13 colonies, essentially the whole eastern portion of the usa.
Exactly, Language is an evolving thing. Most of English stems from Nordic, French/German, Latin, even Indian and Arabic words too I think. As a younger country Americans have taken English and used different words to fit their own explanation of things. Some I like but most I think are weird lol. Could be worse, could be like the nonsense kids today speaking street slang.
@@PuckDaily you do realise Americans are Europeans right? Majority of Americans are English/Irish. So the only people who could beat us english was the English 😂😂

I mean, you're not wrong, but the British took the language to the US (the 13 colonies at the time) since the visitors were English. Over time, the rules of English got changed over time to what is known as American English. US English is basically an altered version of the original English language while using the standard rules of the original English.
“why are you using french for your vegetables,get you own words.” then you can’t use a word like cliché either because it’s french. no fight an american puts up will be able to hold up in any argument or debate. americans have some how standardized broken english and too an extent it is rather commendable
English is derived from several main cultures’ languages, that of the: Anglo Saxons, Germanic People, Vikings, Normans and Romans. The French words in the English language are derived from the Norman language. We didn’t steal the word from them, they shoved in in our mouths when they invaded from across the channel.
You literally can't speak English without French influence. As a Cajun French speaker, I'll point all the words that you used that come from French origin. *using - utiliser *French - le français *argument - l'aurgument *debate - le débat *commendable - commendable *standardized - standardiser *extent - l'extension
It’s not “dumbed down”, it’s just that it’s different than British English and is therefore seen by many people in England as “dumbed down”, which is not true in any way.
@@arryzlo7664 it basically is the dumbed down version that so many people use/used so it became normality. It's no different from a young person who speaks urban slang mixed with proper English. Your literally just making up new words or using other words differently just like a young person does when they make up their slang. Lol which was originally a slang term became proper English due to its mass use just like the entire American language
Random Lassie this is because of the invasion from the Battle of Hastings. The Duke of Normandy invaded Britain in order to take the throne and he succeeded. We never even wanted to take in the French language as Anglo-Saxons 😂 Mhm, it is history sis.
And like AMERICANS speak ENGLISH. Idm Welsh people, Scottish people, and Irish people speaking English, because they're not complaining that we have "copied" words from French. They have copied practically every word from English, and we've copied a few.

Exactly, people are taking this way too seriously. It's obvious the people in the video are just joking around so I don't know why everyone's getting so worked up.
Nope, I can simply tell all of you why America has the proper English. Here is why: America is using the original English, believe it or not, while Britain changed the original (proper) English to what they believed is correct. So if Americans are speaking the original English, then we are speaking the correct English. Plus, many forms of words & phrases would not exist without us.
Well, really proper depends on where you are, I guess. To be frank, at this point already, UK can't really claim it as their language. There is American English, Australian English, Canadian English, & then the less popular dialects. American English is the most influential & popular, but proper really depends on where you are, although ultimately you are always using proper English; it just may be that you are not following dialect standards of your location. So I guess that that sums it up.
I like how they didn't realise the reasons it's called a dummy. How do I put this? It's a pretend nipple for babies to suck on in replace of actually breastfeeding them, that's why it's called a dummy. A pacifier also sounds fine as well but maybe pacify sounds a bit too aggressive?
I assume a dummy is used as ‘a dummy’ like a substitute. Like the dummies you use for car crash tests etc. It’s there to replace either a baby’s bottle or a woman’s breast depending on the way they’re fed. Hence it’s a dummy.
I was under the impression that it was a shortened/more polite version of dummy tit, as in substitute breast, as they were generally given to babies who were crying to be fed.
I thought of it like “the internet for dummies” books. You’re educating an idiot or ignorant person about something, like a. Hold is young and needs to be taught so is ignorant and a dummy
TheTaterTotP80 William the Conquerer is a descendant of the Kingdom of Wessex(519AD) too and the Queen is only a descendant of the Kingdom of Wessex through William the Conquerer(1066AD).

Yep, in Sri Lanka too. We actually have our local word for it, but we use brinjal as the English name of it. Never knew that neither Brits or Americans didnt call it that.
Modern English is a combination of French, Norse, Latin and old English which is a germanic language. Until Henry 2 most nobility spoke French as their first language and it was spoken in government and parliament (parler - to speak.)
1066 Normans conquer England and that's were French was introduced to the English language. So Beef, Poultry and other words are taken from the French language
Not really. Etymology online gives Aubergine as from 1775. George III was king of Great Britain. He was born in London, and his parents Frederick and Augusta were both born in what is now Germany.

Do Americans realise that England made USA before they have declared their independence in the American Revolutionary War because UK went on ships to many other countries and made them their colonies and also USA spoke British English too but they have slowly lost it and now they have their modern accent because they changed their dialect by adding more words and changing their pronunciation
I'm pretty sure the American accent is closer to the original British accent it was the british accent that changed over time. I read about this somewhere. I'm British by the way.
Rachael Mulondo I wouldn’t say so though, I read that the different regional accents in America assist themselves to the blending of all the different countries that emigrated, you know?

But the English language originated from west Germanic- so technically anyone no matter where they’re from today unless they’re western Germanic and speaks English is speaking someone else’s language.

Chanthecat sad nz noises 😢🇳🇿
To anyone curious enough as to why there's a lot of French words in English, I'll just brush up on a bit of "super quick" history, and some etymology, so skip if you don't feel like reading a lot lol. EDIT: Had to shorten it cause I went full on writing an essay LMAO
William the *Bastard* of Normandy won the Battle of Hastings(1066) and became King of England, and taking the new title of William the *_Conqueror_* . He was a Duke from Normandy(NW coast of France), who was a _vassal_ who pledged his fealty to the King of France. Normans, were once Vikings who were given territory by the French King, King Charles III, back in 911 AD, because the Vikings basically pillaged and massacred a lot, and it annoyed the French King obviously lol. The catch was that they swore fealty to him, becoming France's subjects, and they protect France from future Viking invasions. They settled and inter-married with the local French population, and eventually created a separate identity, and adapted French culture, language, and customs. *_Norman_* came from the word "Norsemen", meaning people of the "North".
So England, and eventually the rest of the British Isles and parts of Ireland, were ruled by the Normans for centuries, they brought with them their culture and language, and even many of the castles and cathedrals were built by the Normans(importing castle-building technology and architecture from France to Britain). As a result, a lot of the French words we still use today, especially the ones from Old French and Norman French(later Anglo-Norman), are more associated with power, government, formality, and class. The Norman lords used words like _bœf_ (beef), _porc_ (pork), _venesoun_ (venison) and _mouton_ (mutton) as words used to differentiate the meat that they consumed from the actual animal raised by the peasants, while the English peasants ate cow, pig, deer, and sheep. The English eventually borrowed MANY French and Norman words and is now in our everyday speech. This created "etymological twins" where we both have words of Germanic origin(Anglo-Saxon) and of French and Latin origin, but having similar meaning, often in differing context. Examples of these are:
*Germanic* *French*
to ask to inquire
thoughtful pensive
belief faith
weird strange
a drink a beverage
woods forest
understand comprehend
room chamber
come arrive
leave depart
book craft literature
belly stomach
cook(noun) chef
think conceive
house mansion
abide obey
fair beautiful
deadly lethal
friendly amicable
We can literally go on and on lol
And then, we absorbed a lot of French words throughout the years, and we have an interesting situation where we have a word that was first borrowed from Old French and Norman French, and also have a word borrowed from Modern French, while still keeping the words of Old/Norman French origin. An example of this is:
CASTLE & CHATEAU:
_chastel_ (Old French) -> _castel_ (Late Old English) -> (Modern English) *_castle_*
_chastel_ (Old French) -> _château_ (Modern French) -> (Modern English) *_chateau_*
We took both words but in different time in history, and applied it to different types of buildings. They both came from the same origin, but developed and taken in different times in history, "castle" was back in the Middle Ages, and "chateau" in the 18th century. Castle is called "Château fort" in Modern French, basically "fortified castle".
Then you have old French words that we took in the Middle Ages, but are not used in France anymore, or it evolved differently into Modern French. An example is:
PURCHASE:
In English: (Old French) _porchacier_ -> (Anglo-French) _purchaser_ -> (Modern Eng) *_purchase_*
In French: (Old French) _porchacier_ -> (Modern French) *_pourchasser_*
The original meaning from the Old French word was, "to go after something", "achieve", "pursue". It eventually evolved in English as "to acquire". In Modern French, the word evolved to _pourchasser_ which means "to hunt down", because the word _chasser_ is the word "to hunt". The verb "to buy" in Modern French is _acheter_ , which came from Vulgar Latin _accattare_ . Bonus words: "achieve" and "pursue" all came from Old French too, _achever_ and _pursuer_ lol
In conclusion, we took a lot of words from French, and also Latin, which makes English the most Latinised or Romanised Germanic language. Thanks for reading!

Lord Voldemort Actually the Spanish ( Christopher Columbus) first colonised your country and during 1776 your country voted to change there national language to German yet you decided to keep the English so now who’s forcing it down your throat? Seem like your enjoying it 😂
Wi ll lol what. Colombus never stepped foot in what we now know today as the USA, he landed in the Bahamas. And the spanish colonized the Southwest and Florida. The English colonized the 13 colonies, essentially the whole eastern portion of the usa.
Going off about aubergine being French doesn't realise English is a mixture/derivative of languages like French, Latin etc
Optimus Grime I know right English is a mixture of french, German and a bit of Latin
Exactly, Language is an evolving thing. Most of English stems from Nordic, French/German, Latin, even Indian and Arabic words too I think.
As a younger country Americans have taken English and used different words to fit their own explanation of things. Some I like but most I think are weird lol.
Could be worse, could be like the nonsense kids today speaking street slang.

There was a period of a few centuries after the Norman Invasion, when French was actually the language used by the English aristocracy.
English is derived from several main cultures’ languages, that of the: Anglo Saxons, Germanic People, Vikings, Normans and Romans. The French words in the English language are derived from the Norman language. We didn’t steal the word from them, they shoved in in our mouths when they invaded from across the channel.

This has already been commented
Nope, I can simply tell all of you why America has the proper English. Here is why: America is using the original English, believe it or not, while Britain changed the original (proper) English to what they believed is correct. So if Americans are speaking the original English, then we are speaking the correct English. Plus, many forms of words & phrases would not exist without us.
American is right because America is better. End of story.
Well, really proper depends on where you are, I guess. To be frank, at this point already, UK can't really claim it as their language. There is American English, Australian English, Canadian English, & then the less popular dialects. American English is the most influential & popular, but proper really depends on where you are, although ultimately you are always using proper English; it just may be that you are not following dialect standards of your location. So I guess that that sums it up.

E. G. No worries, I was just saying that we both have slang terms the other doesn’t understand

You must haved learned English as a second language because I'm American and I can understand Brits perfectly.
Honestly Americans I understand but like when I heard for the first time an American say to me do u like my pants I was like 🤣🤣wattt!!so maybe a little barrier but easy to pick up on when I learn
hello from Malaysia, a country that uses British English but in this country there's loads of ppl who use American English
American: aubergine is french. Why are you speaking french? Get your own word
Me: *looks at zucchini*
Exactly! As well as Pizza, Cappuccino, Espresso - Italian.
Café, baguette, croissant -French
Burrito, taco - Spanish?
I could go on!
Me :looking at pizza, ramen, etc
Shiitake? Daikon?
It works the other way also. English words are used in plenty of other languages now
The language is called English not American so England are speaking correct

“That’s French.” Well sorry mrs filet mignon and entrée
Hahahahaha true
English is called because it's from England and England is in Britain.
England is not Britain. England is just one of the nation's that make up the greatest county ever, Great Britain.
Great Britain isn't a country it is an island

This is the stupidest comment section I’ve ever seen. They’re all having legit arguments over who the “real” English speakers are. Like... bro we’re basically the same people.
Wildfart lol it’s funny seeing all the people arguing about “stealing languages”
Wildfart well England made English and Americans speak it cause I don’t really know how the English language got to America
MR Quavers You don’t know how English got to America?
MR Quavers oh no
@@mrquavers we dumped a bunch of cunts off over there that's how
them: “it’s aubergine, it’s eggplant”
me as southeast asian: that’s a brinjal
YESSS
Omg yesssss
In Jamaica, it used to be called "Brown Jolly", which is obviously a mutated form of the word "brinjal".
Yep, in Sri Lanka too. We actually have our local word for it, but we use brinjal as the English name of it. Never knew that neither Brits or Americans didnt call it that.
No what? Where in in Southeast Asia does a “brinjal” exist
Right. I’m no historian or language expert but I assume aubergine from French originated from when we had French royalty.
Modern English is a combination of French, Norse, Latin and old English which is a germanic language. Until Henry 2 most nobility spoke French as their first language and it was spoken in government and parliament (parler - to speak.)
1066 Normans conquer England and that's were French was introduced to the English language. So Beef, Poultry and other words are taken from the French language
Not really. Etymology online gives Aubergine as from 1775. George III was king of Great Britain. He was born in London, and his parents Frederick and Augusta were both born in what is now Germany.
Every Brit: Get your own language!
All of us Americans: You people are the ones who taught us it-
"That's French" little does she know more than half of the English vocabulary is of French origin 💀
howard c this is because of the invasion from the Battle of Hastings. The Duke of Normandy invaded Britain in order to take the throne and he succeeded. We never even wanted to take in the French language as Anglo-Saxons 😂
little do americans know is that most of their "own" words are from spanish
edit: guys, i'm sorry that i said spanish, i meant romance languages, but spanish and portuguese are the ones that look more alike to their english vocabulary and i chose spanish because it is my native language, didn't mean to offend other people

quick google search "which country has the English language originated from" will tell you the obvious answer here lmao
The language is called “English” for a good reason...
And what reason is that? It wasn’t created in England. It was actually created by the west Germanic.
catninja minecaft and more What the fuck does that have to do with where the language originated?

Do Americans realise that England made USA before they have declared their independence in the American Revolutionary War because UK went on ships to many other countries and made them their colonies and also USA spoke British English too but they have slowly lost it and now they have their modern accent because they changed their dialect by adding more words and changing their pronunciation
I'm pretty sure the American accent is closer to the original British accent it was the british accent that changed over time. I read about this somewhere. I'm British by the way.
Rachael Mulondo lmao clearly you read an American article... as always trying to distance themselves from their British heritage 😉
Rachael Mulondo I wouldn’t say so though, I read that the different regional accents in America assist themselves to the blending of all the different countries that emigrated, you know?

I could’ve sworn England tried to ensure the USA never came about - you know - the revolutionary war and all
