you can’t make the claim two languages are related simply because they borrow words from each other

I skimmed this and saw this line and it disqualified it from being worth reading. Define the word “related” as uselessly narrow all you want, idgaf

You and I are not related because we share a common ancestor, and no sensible person would make that claim based on that reasoning. We do draw the line somewhere. If you want to define all languages as related because they all comprise of sound and noise that humans make feel free to.

Also, if you bothered reading not skimming then jumping to conclusions, you would see I linked a couple sources, so you don’t actually have to hear it from my mouth.

We literally are related. It’s you that finds that irrelevant. A subjective opinion that I dislike. Move on.

We literally are related

Cool, what time should I show up for Christmas dinner in December then? There’d better be lot’s of food xD

If you don’t find the fact that we are all technically related irrelevant, you should have no issue with my previous statement :)

Also, please don’t tell me to move along like you’re special, I’ll move along whenever I feel like it. You don’t like it then stop engaging
