You make it out as if every language can be traced back to latin or subsequently, greek, which I think is pretty thin ice. As for german, Im not sure it can be based on latin, there are influences of course but Im pretty sure it doesnt go back to latin.

So why do you think a third of our words have the same word cores like Latin words with similar meaning? Ha, eat that. :devil:
 
because they're all from the same family called Indo-European languages
but german does not come from latin, there are only 5 roman languages (italian, french, portuguese, romanian, spanish).
German is a Germanic language (like dutch, danish, swedish, norwegian)
The Romans invaded a small part of Germany (up to the Rhine or something like that), i guess thats would be how the influences of latin came into the german language.

EDIT:
The only small grammatical similarity i can see between German and Latin is declensions. If German came from latin, it would have a grammar a lot more similar to french or italian (like both languages have between them) than it actually does.
 
I read an article recently which said that Caesar did not say 'et tu, Brute' but 'και συ τεκνον', and that in fact most famous Latin quotes were originally in Greek, because that was what posh people spoke. Latin was for peasants. Apparently. Kind of like how French was the, er, lingua franca in courts all over Europe during the time of Louis XIV. So when Caesar died, his first thoughts would've been in Greek, which is what he spoke normally. 'Veni vidi vici' on the other hand was more of a propaganda thing, and so the linguists think it would have appeared first in Latin.
 
^ et tu Brute is from Shakespeare's 'Julius Caesar', its more of a quote from a play than an actual one?

I mentioned this before Wm Shakespeare do not write what he is credited with
most of it, if not all was written by Edward de Vere, the Earl of Oxford
if you're interested in this sort of thing, check out the book,
" Shakespeare by Another Name" by Mark Anderson


As this has turned in a language thread
the question is how/when/where did language arise?
One thought is that our ancient relatives, the ape masters
were imitating the songs of birds and over the centuries language developed from that?
 
To answer that question you would have to define language first, otherwise the singing of birds to attract the other gender could be called language as it is communication.
 
It is communication, just because we don't understand it, it doesn't mean it's not there.
 
Btw, for my original post, i meant they used facade in the new bonus song on Fiction, Under The Radiance or whatever. Didn't know they used it for that cd way back when. I think we should just say DT actually invented the word along with hardcore metal to expand their godism.

(btw off from the facade thing for a bit, I really have been searching for a band that started before DT that actually has a true death metal sound OR metalcore sound. I haven't searched that far, but everything I run across, the vocals arent even true growls, is more like the sound of drinking too many beers (basially that old-school scream) and the guitars are very slow and slugish and mushy. Can't find anything near DT honestly. I mean everything I come across sounds like the old Sepultura basically, or Slayer, or shit like that and none of those bands have anything in common with metalcore really. I've checked out bands like Celtic Frost ect and all that that supposedly were the firsts of black metal but same luck...).....I think maybe the closest thing I've found might be Morbid Angel, but they sound nothing like metalcore, and I still think the closest to the first metalcore is Punish My Heaven =/...and by metalcore, i probably mean metalcore that has alot more melody and stuff, like KSE, As I Lay Dying, ect.)


Oh em gee i just looked on wikipedia and I'm actually right. it says modern metalcore took heavy influence and cues from gothenburg death metal bands like At The Gates (<---should be replaced with DT since DT did the sound first since they are a year older)

It's not really so surprising, I think it can easily be traced back to that following the ubiquitous In Flames monicker: most modern metalcore bands used to mimick decent Goteborg acts, if not DT as such.
I'm sure we all agree there's a strong connection, but to trace it back to a word is probably a little too much.

@Matse: Killswitch Engage, I'm sure.
