The North Germanic languages or Scandinavian languages make up one of the three branches of the Germanic languages, a sub-family of the Indo-European languages, along with the West Germanic languages and the extinct East Germanic languages. The language group is sometimes referred to as the Nordic languages, a direct translation of the most common term used among Danish, Swedish and Norwegian scholars and laypeople. In Scandinavia, Scandinavian language(s) is also used as a term referring specifically to the mutually intelligible languages of the three Scandinavian countries. The term "North Germanic languages" is used in genetic linguistics, while the term "Scandinavian languages" appears in studies of the modern standard languages and the dialect continuum of Scandinavia. Approximately 20 million people in the Nordic countries have a Scandinavian language as their mother tongue, including a Swedish minority in Finland. Languages belonging to the North Germanic language tree are, to some extent, spoken on Greenland and by immigrant groups mainly in North America and Australia. From Wikipedia under the

Q. ...Okay hold on I am not talking about biological Evolution, I am talking about the many other types of Evolution that have brought us to this time today. The English language has not been around forever, it has evolved from Germanic tribes after crossing the North sea, these tribes were the Angles, the Saxons, and the Jutes. Language is not the only thing to have evolved, societies evolve as well. Our morals evolve and grow over the passing decades. Things are constantly changing, every day is different with new experiences. My question is do fundamentalist Christians, or just Christians in general, accept that Evolution is a part of who we are?

I taught some of their children. Like rocks. Only dumber. Answered by ladyren - Tue Apr 7 19:23:43 2009 Why is Latin such an integral part of the English language? Q. The language of the old Roman Empire was Latin, and so when they conquered other nations, they integrated Latin into those countries. Some of these countries are France, Portugal, Spain, Romania and Italy. However, modern English is a direct relative of West Germanic, which is not a descendant of Latin. I have several theories as to how Latin became the base of English without a direct line. One theory is the close relationship between Latin-infused France and England. The people of England slowly adopted words from the other country, just as we adopt words today. Once in North America, the British (now called Americans) had to live in close proximity with Spain and France, and words became adopted. Rome, at one point, invaded a… [cont.] Asked by bohemianbum - Tue Sep 2 16:42:40 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A.
