Where are your arguments in the assertions above?
I hardly try to find out at least one. I couldn't.
Or you only told us about your 'preferences' here?
Or 'to assert something without any argument' is another kind of
joke ?

Meanwhile, please re-read Willem posting again to see as an example
how an argumentation is built there.

On the other hand, you should know that there are loans among
the 'daughter languages' too -> if the 'daugther languages idea'
seems an argument for you here...
To see that this is not enough for an argumentation, I will ask
you: Do you know pan-Slavic loans? You should know, at least one.
