In the year of 1066, the Normans infused French into the Old Enlgish dialect. Having been studying Old English (and Frisian) and Middle English (after the Norman conquest), I am beginning to wonder if a modern parallel is about to occur.
At my first job I learned to speak Spanish with near fluency, enough to where one of my girlfriends spoke Spanish only (
). I love the Spanish language, and I can often hear the relation between English words [of French origin] and Spanish, as they both share Latin roots.
With both Modern English and Spanish being of Latin descent, I would very much imagine that within two or three hundred years we'll have entered a new era in the English language. Latin America will continue to speak Spanish as it is spoken today, and the UK/Australia will continue to speak English as it is today, but the United States will be speaking a new hybrid tongue!
In fact, I believe the assumption to be so logical, that it would be an extraordinary claim for this to NOT be possible.
