    English can almost be considered a creolle or pidgin, a mix of Old English and Norman French, but more realistically it's a Germanic language with a Romance upper register.

    I know that and it would have been no reason for them to pick it, only a tiny tiny percentage of christians could even read in Hebrew, it wasnt a major language either

    Yes, but English has all the beauty of a Romance language and all the adaptability of a Germanic language and the vocabulary of both.

    Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, Latin, and Russian. Even Arabic sounds better. Nothing against English though, I love it.
