My point is that it has been argued that he brittonic languages have never been spoken across Britain. Most of England has likely never been inhabited by people speaking languages like welsh and Irish etc...

My point about celtic being a made up ethnicity may have been misleading. Obviously the languages and DNA of the Welsh, Cornish Bretons etc are all similar.
The point is that the Romans just called everyone savages and the Victorians took a look at the cultures of ancient Gaul, ancient England, Wales and Ireland and said 'These are the same; we shall call them celts.' They were wrong.

Inside the english language itself, the french loanwords have so much prestige that they replace their english counterparts. As I said earlier, french loanwords sound smarter in the brains of the english-speaking elite. "feminine" sounds smarter then "womanly", "annual" sounds smarter than "yearly"... For instance, you'll read "to poze a question" in academic papers, without hearing it in everyday english. Just face the facts, the english language keeps rotting and more and more actual english words are replaced by a french loanword. This process won't stop, it's too late. The zombie keeps rotting.

You're contradicting yourself anyway, on the one hand you say English speakers regard French loanwords as more sophisticated, yet you fail to recognise that this doesn't in fact mean that we're eventually just going to use these words solely instead, precisely because not everyone wants to give off the impression of being a posh twat/pretentious asshole - there's a power behind covert prestige, and that's part of what's keeping these common Germanic terms in circulation.

Firstly, it does, just not as often. Secondly, the reason for this is that we're obviously much closer to French due to our closely integrated history and obvious geographical incidence.
Both this and >>13585900 are also conflating the sources of the prestige association with French loanwords - the reason they are more highly regarded is not because Anglos have some subconscious French fetish that they can't help but indulge in, but rather because of the sociohistorical context of Britain as being ruled by French-speaking courts, resulting in the association of the language of French with the elite. Many English people want to sound more like the elite, coincidentally this results in them using more French (and French-sounding) words. If the elite were to have spoken any other language or just make up their own nonsense words instead we'd probably end up associating them with prestige instead, continuing our default state of hating the French.

On the contrary, its very effective.
If the french state via the french medias always says that there is too much english loanwords in french, it doesn't mean there is too many english loanwords in french, it simply means that those words will be replaced. And they are replaced, always. They never last.
For instance, it took over ten years for the french neology agencies to find an effective replacement for "software", first they came up with "quincaille", but the french people still used "software", so the neology agencies worked hard and created "logiciel", and "software" was definitely beaten. More than ten years. The french neology agencies never give up. Never.
In some very serious french dictionaries, if you look for "Whisky", you'll find it, but with the mention "english word". The french dictionary states clearly that the word "Whisky" must be used in french not as a french word of english origin, but as a foreign english word.

Daily reminder Goethe preferred Nerval's translations of Faust and Nietzsche was a francaboo
for the idiots discussing Celtic languages, which is one of the earliest of the Indo-European languages whose roots are in the Hallstatt culture via the La Gene culture: It split into Brittonic and Goidelic branches. Goedelic languages such as Irish, Scots Gael, and Manx are mutually intelligible to listeners.

>Languages have been interacting with one another
In the case of english, there is only one main language influencing it, and it's french, and the french loanwords are always growing in nnumber in english, replacing english words in the process.

seems like a lot of work for one word. let them have it. it's something I could see being exploited in a very 1984 way though. although that's a whole different ball game. my point is I don't give a shit what words people use, whether they're French English Italian or fucking Arabic (we seem to be fine using their numbers). I'm not really buying this ethnocentric language-as-subliminal-mind-control thing.

Well said.
When you say to the english-speakers "hey, don't be so stupid, just create your own words from germanic roots, defend your language", they suddenly become ferocious defenders of the french loanwords, and treat you as an enemy of their frenchness. It's so pathetic.

sorry but this is just completely linguistically inaccurate. look I'm not really going to try and convince you but this idea of English evolving into French is just baseless from a historical linguistics perspective.

Yes, I know, every single english-speaker have the same french supremacist reaction. Like I said, your brain is like hardwired to justify the always growing huge presence of french loanwords in english. It's so ridiculously pathetic.
Let me remind you that I'm a breton speaker, I hate french for obvious reasons, and try to make you want to defend yourself from the deadly influence of french on your own language... but no, you keep defending the french loanwords, they are like sacred words to you... it's fascinating how you react like a french nationalist instead of wanting to use more actual english words and expressions. Truly fascinating. But you are all like that. You're like under some magic spell cast on you by Guillaume de Normandie. You'll defend those french loanwords you love 'till the end, like a good french soldier.
