The oldest surviving text in Romanian is 498 years old and I can understand it because the language has remained basically the same.

The oldest "french" text is from 842 in STRASBOURG, KINGDOM OF THE FRANKS not Strassburg Kingdom of G*rmany and i can understand 30-50% of it

Actually the oldest text known is from the 1400s

Its easy to understand medieval Greek. So is koine Greek. Ancient Greek is where the difficulty starts.

English has changes so much in the past thousand years, due primarily to French influences by the Norman invasion of England in 1066 that Old English may as well be an entirely different language. Here is an example of the first few lines of Beowulf, in Old English.

Hwæt. We Gardena in geardagum,
þeodcyninga, þrym gefrunon,
hu ða æþelingas ellen fremedon.
Oft Scyld Scefing sceaþena þreatum,
monegum mægþum, meodosetla ofteah,
egsode eorlas. Syððan ærest wearð
feasceaft funden, he þæs frofre gebad,

Ah, Althochdeutsch and Mittelhochdeutsch... Truly mesmerizing languages.

I can read classical Arabic and Greek

You do understand that prayers in church are in church slavonic?

Once again: The Franks were a Germanic tribe. The Franks were neither German nor French but what came before that. That's the best you can hope for.

Franks were Dutch.

We're already next to Russia.

Dutch are Germans. Those traitors happened to leave in 1648.

Dutch are Niederdoutsche im Niederlanden.

Did the Mongol tribes really come into contact with Western Women?

Of course. How else do you think the Hungarians were born?

People didn't just stop using latin, it evolved into different dialects that later became languages. And in all that time another version of it was used by the church and some ruling classes, which is not the same that the romans used.

Arabic has a standarized written form but it has a lot of dialects so different from the standard one may consider them languages of their own, as some of them are unintelligible with each other

>tfw read a translation of Beowulf like a pleb
I really should pick up Old English

Take a guess

This, modern day hungarians, are german and slavic rapebabies

>i can't understand my own language

it's because you're a brainlet, and there's nothing to be ashamed of.

I've studied Ancient Greek for five years in high school (some schools have it here in Italy) and I've always been baffled at how fucking similar the language I've studied is to modern-day Greek. When I see it written, be it when I went to Greece on a school trip or at the back of shampoo bottles, I'm always surprised by how much it's stayed the same. Maybe it's just me, but I would expect a language to mutate in an untold amount of ways in 2500 fucking years. But then again I pretty much react the same way with Shakespeare's English and Dante's Italian... But they're a lot more recent.
Anyway, I think it's incredibly wonderful and valuable to be able to understand what your ancient ancestors said in such a relatable way.

Tl;dr: dead language my ass
