Agreed. French, of course, is 100% impure if we're supposed to think that way.. it didn't exist a dozen centuries or so ago, all its words are from Latin and regional languages, and so on. And of course other languages are like that too.

- ch4s3 1y agoDo you mean the alphabet? Because Etruscan is not related to Greek, and Phoenician was a Semitic language.
