the english also comes from latin??????

Question

spanish comes from latin language
and english has lots of same or very alike words with the same meaning


so the US is also a latino country???

Answer 1

Latin is the root for nearly every language in the world-has nothing to do with being latino doofus.
latin is an ancient language with roman/greek
influences-spanish might have some latin roots also but latin came first-we all derived words and sentence structure from the latin language

Answer 2

Latin was the basis of many languages because they were spread by the Romans. Languages influences heavily by latin are called Romance languages. These include French, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese.

The English language evolved from using a combination of differenct languages including latin, german, greek, french, and many more. Research "etymology" if you want the in depth explanation.

The US is the product of various cultures coming together through colonization and immigration. And although many of their words are rooted in latin, other words come from other places.

So to answer your question, the US is NOT a latino country.

Also, the term "latino" describes spanish speaking countries mainly because spanish retained many of the forms used in Latin.

Answer 3

Latin is root to a lot of languages. Spanish, French, German, Italian, and even thought some ignorants deny it, English too. I guess the word "latin" is associated with the Mexican culture, so you're going to get racist people saying: "No way, it's germanic." or some crap like that. So to answer your question, yes, English does root from Latin.

Answer 4

No no no. Germanic, Latin and Slavic are names for languages groups. The language family it comes from is called that. It is a group of languages that mixed and have many similarities. It does not mean it comes from Latin.

Besides English is not a Latin language.

Answer 5

When I was in high school, I took a course called Western Civilizations. The "English" originally were the Angles and Saxons. The Jutes and the Danes added some linguistic influence, and then the Romans took over and added Latin influence. In 1066, William of Normandy took over England (the Norman Conquest) and added Norman French to the linguistic mix. Note: I am not sure what happened between 476 A.D. (fall of the Roman Empire) and 1066, but I suspect that however they were governed, they kept all the previous linguistic influences.

So with Latin and Norman French in the mix, there is a lot of Latin influence in English. In Western Civ class, we learned that animals have different names when they are in the field than they do when they are on one's plate because the words for the actual animals (pig, cow, sheep) are derived from Anglo-Saxon, while the words for their table counterparts (pork, beef, mutton) are derived from Norman French. (I recognize boeuf and mouton, but I'm not sure how you say pig in modern French, never mind Norman French.)

Answer 6

Todays English language doesn't come strictly from Latin. It is made up of words from numerous languages, such as French, Spanish, Itallian, German, & more.

Answer 7

No way man,english is s germanic language.
