Um, I could make as good of an argument that English is a mix of germanic and french as I can that Portuguese is not what Davey-dumbo says it is. Typically, the history of a language is classified by the surviving writing. |
You might be able to, but I don't think any linguist would agree with you that English is a romance language, like French, Spanish, Italian, and yes, Portuguese. English is definitely a Germanic tongue.
