OK, here is a challenge for you etymologists out there:
Compose a modern English sentence (let's say no fewer than 10 words) using only words of Italic Language Family origin. How about Germanic?
If you can't do it without help, try http://www.ethnologue.com/family_index.asp and the OED.
Just glancing at this therealalxconway, my brain hurts. I imagine it can be done, though. Do you have a sentence in mind?
Italic: Deviate, Adrian: avoid philosophy, elude terra firma, revitalize, belabor vitality!
Germanic: The bratwurst-hawker drank beerenauslese until he pissed his lederhosen.
I suppose a that more natural sounding sentences could be constructed. However, I used mostly Latin for Italic and mostly German for Germanic.
Wow. Nice work there. I think this is a good argument as any for mixing languages, eh?
