English isn't based on Latin at all, but is the descendent of the languages spoken by the Germanic tribes that invaded England after the Romans left
English gets a lot of Romance vocabulary through French influence and Latin being Lingua Franca throughout Europe during the Middle Ages (just as all European languages did to some extent or another), but it's little more based on Latin than Russian is on French, and grammatically it's very solidly Germanic.

you should look up the roman Alphabet :aok

same as the English, just missing 2 I think....

this is fact....as far as how the symbols are sounded out is besides the point....our Alphabet is the Romans....which took them from the Greek Alphabet.

Ink...

Alphabet does not equal language. Alphabet is just the character set. Whether you use the Latin alphabet or the FUTHARK, the English language is still the English language. It has no influence on grammar, vocabulary, morphology, etc.

Motherland:

Unfortunately, English grammar got royally screwed up by the influx of Norman French to the point that it's lost most of what it had in common with the other Germanic languages. Word order in most Germanic languages doesn't usually matter because of how words are conjugated. Dative, Genetive, and Nominative all have different endings so phrases still make sense regardless of the word order. Modern English loses all of those case endings. Oh, and then there's how articles and verbs have to agree with the case and number (singular/plural) of the word to which they belong (good god, there's about a thousand ways of conjugating "the" in German. Die, das, der, den, dem...  :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:). That's not even getting into word gender, which other Germanic languages retain but Modern English drops...

little known fact:  the Romans were very careful at taking care of their teeth.  they used grounded sea shells as toothpaste.  hey at least they tried, unlike the rest of Europe.
