That’s like arguing that one shade of blue is no longer blue because someone added a little white to it and now it’s medium bluie and not navy blue.
Or alternatively it is like arguing that white becomes blue if I add a little blue to it? I am afraid the argument you put cuts boths ways, so helps not one bit.
Nobody here is claiming that the French are Franks, anymore than they claiming they are Germanic…or indeed Celts. France is rather like Britain in that sense, the British are not Celts or Anglo-Saxon or Viking. We all speak English, but some people (some scots, some welsh and some cornishmen) also speak a celtic language. But the British are not celts, they are a mixture of all of those things and others too. In some regions one or more of those things may be more dominant.
It was you that made claims about the French being Celts to support your contention, which was wrong as you eventually conceded, that French was a Celtic language. The bottom line is that French is a Romance language just as you speak a Germanic language (English). Just becuase some of the words you use (for example Ketchup, which is originally Malay) come from some other languages doesn’t suddenly make your language something other thasn Germanic.
I am genuinely at a loss as to why you persist in arguing about things that you obviously have no expertise in when you are presented with overhwelming evidence that you are wrong.
Practically every thread you particpate in comprises you making some unsustainable claim, a few people pointing out why you are wrong, then you responding with ever more desperate attempts to avoid conceding you are wrong. And when you do finally concede you do so begrudgingly and with a lack of grace.
