Comment on Is English just badly pronounced French?

No, it isn’t.
It’s a Germanic language* with a strong French influence, and the influence of pretty much every other language.
*A Germanic language is one that comes from the same precursor language that produced German.
Any linguist would tell you this, it’s pretty surface-level stuff.
