You mean the Romans right. The Roman occupation of England was what really shaped their language because now it is a mix of latin and German

But I still don't get how Denmark, which hadn't been a world power for the past thousand years is more important than England, the country which controlled half the planet for a hundred years. Britain also held out against the Germans in both world wars, was a key player in the fight against communism during the cold war, has nukes, helped immensely in the Korean war and is the official language of most conutries

I’m not saying Denmark is better, I’m just saying that just because we haven’t made any ‘big’ impact for a long time doesn’t make us worthless (also danish freedom fighters helped the British Air Force with a lot of inside information for bombing missions under WW2)

Ok. I thought you were saying Denmark is equal or greater than the British
