    Aren’t most languages a mix of several languages?
    Like in German many words come from French or sometimes also from English words.
    Only the Germans often butcher them, that they speak it as if they were real German words…

      Yeah, pretty much every single language. I think it’s funny when someone (usually americans) says their language has words from a bunch of languages because it shows they never really learned a second language. Word ‘clima’ in Portuguese or ‘Klima’ in German is from Greek for example, many languages have english words too, portuguese takes ‘playground’ and ‘check in’ to cite two but it has many more.
