1275: Fusional Languages Jun 7, 2018

There are many languages which derive the majority of the grammar from one language, and possibly the vocabulary from it too, but have many influences from other languages, but are not quite as mixed as creoles. These are fusion languages, and these include Germanic languages of English and Yiddish, among many others, the former containing many words and affixes from French Latin and Greek, and the latter having influences from Hebrew, Aramaic, Polish, Russian. Other languages like Icelandic and Hebrew have relatively little influence from outside sources.
