International future English.

Published by writer one in the blog writer one's blog. Views: 258

I have heard about the future of English. What do all of you think about it? I tried to understand it and failed. I love present day English and general writing, but I do not give it the respect it needs to be understood. I haven't a clue how it was create from German. I believe Hebrew was the first language, but where it lost itself I will never understand. Thoughts? writer one

    English was not created from German. It is not the "child" of German, so to speak. English and German are siblings. Sisters. They share a common mother called Proto-Germanic. There are many sisters in this family: English, German, Dutch, Swedish, Afrikaans, Danish, Norwegian, Scots, Yiddish, Frisian, Icelandic, Luxembourgish, and Faroese, not to mention their many dialects. None of these are related to Hebrew in any way. Hebrew belongs to the Semitic Language Family. The aforementioned daughters of Proto-Germanic all belong to the Indo-European Language Family.
