English itself is a creolized West Germanic language that originated from Anglo-Frisian dialects brought to Britain around the mid 5th to 7th centuries AD by Anglo-Saxon settlers. Norman and French also influenced its development. Shakespeare incorporated many Latin and Ancient Greek words, as well as from other European languages.
The language you presumably prefer — modern Hebrew — although probably largely based on Lashon Hakodesh, is itself an amalgam of European languages, BTW including many Yiddish words, and of course plenty of Arabic. And today’s spoken Hebrew often seems to contain more English words than Hebrew. Scores of English words have becomes “Hebraized” (creolized?) and so, if you pronounce them with an Israeli accent, everyone considers them to be Hebrew words.
Bottom line: all languages today are creole versions of earlier languages. Having said that, many comments, and even published articles on the website could occasionally use some editing…..
