    And this was even taken from your fucking link, you absolut retarded armenid shithead

    to study the Armenians' genetic relationship to worldwide populations, we computed principal components using 78 populations (Supplementary Table 1) and projected the Armenians onto the plot in a procedure called ‘PCA projection'14 (Figure 2a), which ensures that the PCA patterns are not affected by the large number of Armenians used in the analysis. We observe that Armenians form a distinctive cluster bounded by Europeans, Near Easterners, and the Caucasus populations. More specifically, Armenians are close to (1) Spaniards, Italians, and Romanians from Europe; (2) Lebanese, Jews, Druze, and Cypriots from the Near East; and (3) Georgians and Abkhazians from the Caucasus (Figure 2b). The position of the Armenians within the global genetic diversity appears to mirror the geographical location of Turkey. Previous genetic studies have generally used Turks as representatives of ancient populations from Turkey. Our results show that Turks are genetically shifted towards Central Asians, a pattern consistent with a history of mixture with populations from this region.

    Cherrypicking much ? seems like some Armenians need more than just a genocide to even stop even bragging about themselfs

    Malta is an european country, even a member of the EU.

    Europe has many languages, as a result of continous waves of people's movement.

    You must mean not an "indoeuropean" language.

    Basque is not an indoeuropean language, too. But it is also european.

    If the Arabic-Andalusian language still existed, would you consider it a European language knowing where it comes from?

    Since you can pick up an internet article in Spanish at random and not find any word of Arabic origin, or maybe one or two, we can say that the influence on the essence of the language is close to zero. which is logical, since the castillian was invented in a territory free of Moors, and Arabic has had no influence in the modern world

    Spanish, no question, followed by French both have 4000 to 1000 words of Arabic origin, respectively whereas Portuguese has about 800 or so to understanding so it's not even a contest. Our Arabic words we mostly got from French anyways, like; aubergine, arsenal, mattress, magazine, etc. I would say American English has jewy influences but it's just Yiddish(more guttural high German) which made our wording more Germanic instead of Semitic like say lox for salmon(Danish, Norwegian: laks, Swedish: lax)

    What do you mean? American English is more Germanic than British English?

    Oh that'd be a stretch and a half! Not really, especially when they've got Scots. The way they say eight as acht and say kirk instead of church feels awfully familiar to me. Yiddish words and expressions are more often heard in spots where there's a strong Jewish enclave but lox is one of the words you'll hear nearly everywhere. We do have more German and Dutch loanwords than other former British colonies besides South Africa due to their heavy diaspora here. We don't say words like serviette, aubergine, ect. we say napkin, eggplant and when we say Latinite words, it's oftenmost decorum that just shows you're well read.
