Latin and ancient greek always was traditional languages taught mainly the people of the church and the aristocrats. On the other hamd the #Hungarian language is unique. Some scientist say it has a connection with the #Finnish, but others say it comes from #Sumer, and so on.
But if the #English is so odd as Hungarian language I suggest to speak Hungarian (cos it is my mother tongue :-) )
That's interesting. learning greek and Italian was so wide spread among the upper classes, who wrote all the books then, yet european languages largely stayed distinct.
I'm trying to learn Czech ATM, which is highlighting oddities of English.
I think it's not Greek but Ancient Greek, and not Italian, it's Latin. These are dead languages. So I think there is no any influence of a dead language to the living ones. But the Latin was the root of many living languages (Indo-Europeans?)
