It was not my intention to offend any language.      I'm so sorry!   Maybe it's due to my english again. Long time ago I was very keen on learning latin , and I'm still interested in it. (By the way did somebody know what "relinque" means   ) I still can't entirely understand Nominatif , Accusatif , Genitif , Datif and so on... there are similar cases in German .    In our language there are many words from turkish , (our contry was part of the Ottoman empire almost 5 centuries) like "demek" ( "as" or "like") , "ash kolsun" (Well done!) , "sakun" ( something like "No") and "aman" (really don't know wat it means maybe something like "OOOh!") and many others. We use them most of the time in the speaking language...    And there is some simple bulgarian words , not scientific terms somehow similar to the latin. ( I have no idea why ) like "nov ", "nova",(feminin) "novo"(fot "it" )I believe the latin word for "new" was "novum ", "nova" (feminin) and "novo "(for "it")

Don't worry erenda, I don't think that anyone took any offense or saw any insult in anything that has been said in this thread.  At least I know that I didn't.    The way I saw that this thread has developed as being just a friendly comparison of laguages and their origins.

As for your level of ability for writing in the english language....I can understand you well enough as I do all others who post here.  Just keep reading and writing in it, and you skills will improve even more.

I think that all national languages have their traditions and history... But I really would prefer the same language for all and maybe an artificial language like esperanto, very easy to learn and simple.
In our era I think that we should have the necessary understanding to do it, but things are not coming in that way   ...
