Why is English not considered a Romance “language if ~60-80% of words come from latin?
In: Other
The structure of English isn’t related to Latin. It’s closer to German. Romance languages generally feature gendered nouns, matched gendered adjectives, and verbs conjugated by endings to reflect the person, tense, and voice. English uses helper verbs to convey this information (I run, I will run, I would run, I have run, etc.) which clearly sets it apart from the romance family.
