That's because we got invaded so many times and each invader left their own bit of language behind. Most of our justice system is French language, there's a lot of Viking words in the North, especially place names and of course many Roman words and places too all over the country. Many village names show the rich heritage of invaders. -- CardinalFang ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CardinalFang's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=962 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29972 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
