Alain LaBonté scripsit:
> French is indeed the Latin language [enforced by law, by
> Charlemagne, in fact] spoken by a Germanic tribe called the Franks who
> overruled the Gauls who had already been overruled by the Romans.
A few excerpts from my Web page "Essentialist Explanations"
(http://www.ccil.org/~cowan/essential.html):

with a headcold.
--Eugene Holman
Francophones are essentially Germans speaking the bad Latin
they were taught by Gauls.
--Daniel von Brighoff
