[quote=Anonymous][quote][b]French. It established the foundation for many other languages, including Spanish. [/b]Regarding German, it really depends on what type of profession the child would end up having. Germany is the fastest aging economy in Europe, I foresee its domination declining in the coming years; plus no other nation speaks it.[/quote] French did not establish the "foundation for many languages, including Spanish." These languages all trace back to Hindi (the Indo part of Indo-European). Latin is considered the older European language that influenced Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese, and Romanian. Because of this root, these are known as the Romance languages ("Roman" which was Latin). Spanish was further impacted by Arabic due to the 600 year Moorish occupation (which ended in 1492). [/quote]
