    English language is a mish-mash, we pillaged many a language for our own.

    Oh I see. You have decided to end your quest for the origin of your heritage at a time where you feel is acceptable to your white, Christian sensibilities.

    Where did your French Hugenot and Welsh sheepshagger decidents hail from?

    You are a camel jockey mate. Suck it up numbnuts <laugh>

    To be honest I never started a quest. Oh well I guess I'd better head down to the Akram stores in Southsea and buy some Chipatties and Havaianas.

    I'm not, I descend from the first people to occupy these islands - the English.

    Think about it, despite all these colonisations and conquests we all speak the language of the first people that got here as none of the subsequent arrivals came in big enough numbers to change that.

    Were you to step back in time to the days of Ethelred the Unready, I think you might have trouble making yourself understood during an angle-saxon rape and pillage session.

    Probably best to ask gas about that.

    The other thing to consider: we English are notoriously bad at learning foreign languages. QED.
