English is an imported language. That is why we have two words for some things, the Normans called it beef because that is what they ate while the poor Saxons who only got to farm the animals called them cows.

Give me a definition of 'indigenous' and I'll give you at least 5 more definitions.

Ah.

The advantage of Welsh... it doesn't have k's, x's, or z's...

The odd "dd", "ff" and "ll" makes up for it though, especially in the extressive use of spittle...

Do they have Countdown on Welsh TV? Erm, I'll have a consonant please. Another consonant please. Another consonant. Don't confuse me with a vowel.

Mind you, I bet the Basques are good at scrabble.

No. The English language was not spoken on continental Europe and then brought here. It developed here out of various imported languages.

[Mich the Tester]

We did that to confuse the Saes....

My compliments. You do a bloody good job of it.

Did Mick deny that the English, Scottish, and Welsh have their own indigenous culture?

Also, please use capital letters at the beginning of your sentences. We have this indigenous custom of using the Queen's English in this country.

define what you deny please

No. You decided by some criteria some languages are 'indigenous'. You tell us how you define 'indigenous'.
