English's closest relative is a language called Frisian
Frisian is the language outside of the British Isles that is the closest relative of English
It is my kat
It is my cat
It is in griene doar
It is a green door
Ik haw brea
I have bread
Ik hear dy
I hear you
Wat is jo namme
What is your name
English diverged a lot after the Norman invasion and Frisian has been influenced by Dutch, but even a thousand years later, we can still see both are very much Germanic and are very similar in some sentences
Cool stuff!
Thanks for pointing that out. When you hear Frisians talk you would never guess that to be so, in my opinion. Frisian has similarities with low German as well.
really interesting post thanks a lot for sharing and keep on posting ;)
Will do :)
