So like i've heard english is 3 languages in a trenchcoat pretending to be one is that true?
it's greatly overexaggerated.
english is structurally a germanic language. it had a large influx of french vocabulary following the norman conquest, and it's picked up a lot of lexical items from other languages too, sometimes with their original morphology still attached (like pluralizing "addendum" as "addenda" the latin way, rather than english +(e)s plural).
so it's more like one language that really likes to accessorize and maybe kept the fancy suit that old norman left at its house one time.
