Summary

The English language is….different. Unlike other languages, English has borrowed and used words from a wide variety of other languages. However, no other language has had quite the influence that French has had. In fact, French was the language spoken by the kings and queens of England for centuries, and the rules of England couldn’t speak any English. Learn more about the French influence on the English language and what English would look like without it on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
