Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from Is English a German Language?

So we reach Modern English, with its fragments of antiquity cropping out amid the new, its large percentage of Romance and Outlandish words and constructions, its Grammar reduced to a minimum, its immense wealth of words, and shortness of expression, its gradual softening or absence of gutturals and the introduction of sounds mild and melodious. So comes it that it is now largely mono syllabic - the richest but simplest and strongest speech the world has yet seen, the Universal Language of Universal Culture. And in this strange interweaving of Scando Gothic and Romance, its rings of gold and silver, fitting it for its destiny, it remains essentially a Scandinavian and largely a Danish tung.
