Hello Frederic and All,

In  response to the Latin language question of proximate Future, Spanish
has the formula "Voy a ir" which coincides with the French "Je vais y
aller." to express future. Curiously enough the Catalan expression is
"Vaig anar-hi." which means "I went", not "I am going to go.", as
expected. I believe that the Roman/Latin language Empire was much more
imposing than any other of the same epoch and that basic influence ran
from Latin to Germanic and not inversely.

Within these postings on "Morphology" is there an underlying
desire/ideology to seek the Germanic influence on Latin?
Given that Germania and Scotland were the only 2 areas that did not
completely succumb to Roman influence in Northern Europe, is it really
believable that the non-latin dialects would affect the latin dialects
in their tenses forms?

Regards,

Tom
