Day 88: Linguistics


Let me tell you about linguistics.

In theory, all languages originated from the Indo-Europeans.

When they migrated to Europe the language they spoke split into three: Proto-German, Proto-Celtic and Proto-Romance.

Proto-Romance became Latin which became French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Greek, etc.

Proto-Celtic became Irish, Gaelic and Welsh

Proto-German became German, Icelandic, Danish, Fresian, Anglo-Saxan and many others.

Anglo-Saxan or Old English became Anglish which in turn became our modern day English.
