New That's funny, but wrong historically.
Common English is mostly Germanic and Latin (i.e. really French version) was introduced and added to English after 1066 and William the Conqueror.

Vikings used another variation of Germanic and were no longer identified as Vikings before 1066.

And all these languages evolved from Indo-European languages.

"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."

-- Isaac Asimov
