The whole point of this debate with you is that there is absolutely no
evidence or proof for what you claim. The changes that have occurred in
Latin to Romance, or in the development of Greek, are very natural internal
changes. They need no external factors to cause them.

You should also consider changes which have made Latin (and Greek
especially) less like AA languages - such as the loss of vowel ablaut to
indicate a grammatical difference.
