P.S. Mandarin is the number one top language I want to learn. It's just so DIFFERENT! The Indo-European languages seem, by and large similar to me in many ways (paging official linguist comments). (Ok so I'm excluding Basque, Hungarian/Finnish, various Gaelic languages etc) |
Louis, are you trying to say that Basque, Hungarian, & Finnish ARE Indo-European, or that Gaelic is NOT? |
LOL No idea! None and all of those things. Linguistics = not my field (obviously).
I thought Basque, Hungarian, Finnish, various Gaelics all had slightly separate roots from the Germanic, Romance and Sanskrit derived languages. |

Well, at least you got THAT right.
