An historic

English is not a romance language.

I use a when the stress falls on the h and an when it falls on the next syllable. So I say an historic and a hummingbird. Though now that I think about it I might say a hotel. I'm from the midwest btw.

You're right. It's a conglomeration of romance and germanic.
That has nothing to do with it. That's very brazen to suggest the use of an is dependent on whether or not an "h" is silent. You're a filthy anglo 56 percenter. Accept your subhuman status.

Uh, I say a hour. Hour pronounced hower. How the fuck do you say it, faggot

And yet an historic and an history and an hour are all the correct prescribed usage. Take your time :^)

>Book contains random non-English phrases

Unless, you know, you say it with one

Is a horse an historic?

Clearly not London frog

An orse?

Why does english piss off so many rigid contrarians who still speak it? It's an honest question and a healthy one to contemplate.

Lmao wtf

Oh, would you look at the time! Is it such a late "hower"? No, it's time you learn to pronounce "hour" correctly!

No retard, historian with a silent h like it was pronounced until the 19th century.

sorry, wrong guess. I'm just a polyglot who understands that pronounciation of articles like "a/an" or "the/the" depends on following words starting with either a vocal or a consonant.

An ma'am.

such old-fashioned customs would be ahistoric (not to be confused with "a historic")

This is an Anglo problem retard, it's the non-Anglos who actually pronounce 'H' who say that 'an' doesn't work because for us it makes two opposing consonants.

The spoken is subordinate to written rules.
Are you retarded? An hypocrite?

How many languages and at what level?

>Not knowing the etymology of 'history' as having a silent h in Greek
Not gonna make it

Danish isn't romance

more than five in total. three at C1 or higher.

if Greek pronounciation had any say in it, we would not pronounce the H in "hour" silent, since in ancient greek it was "hora"

Which ones bro. Most polyglots are B1 hacks when it comes to more than 3 languages.

The h is silent in Greek too nigger, which is why it comes into Latin as "(h)ora"

Athenian, Oedipos, do you speak it?

It's called Attic you pseud

>Latin "ora"
thanks for making my point against you

both are correct, while "athenian" even more so, if the purpose is to exclude anything outside of Athenes as a polis but under cultural influence of the Attic dialect. Anyway, stop ruining my joke.

Indeed, an historic jab

Isn't this something only Britbongs do?

Brainlet, learn the language before posting like this.

an 'istory

English is a germanic language. It has a lot of vocabulary from French and other languages but it's still germanic.

Dumb frogposter

I do not give a fuck about etymology or culture for this pedantic garbage. The grammar rule exists solely to make pronunciation easier, and in glorious proper American English most words beginning with "h" have that sound properly pronounced as it is written. Words with the sound pronounced are prefaced with "a", and words where it is silent with a following vowel sound are "an" with no exceptions. Britbongs and their cucked empire remnants can waste their time arguing over it with all of their conflicting gay accents.

I just end up pronouncing it “an istoric” in my head and then I have the sudden urge to buy a gun.

That is correct, yes.

That reminds me of what is hands down the worst band name of all time, An Horse.

No, it isn't stupid.

If you actually talk like that then kill yourself.

I don't talk like that, because, unlike you, I'm able to pronounce the "eu-" particle as it should be pronounced: "eh-u-".

Get out.

doing this outside of actual ancient greek is peak autism

You can replace the entire lexicon of English with the Lexicon of French, and it will still entirely be a Germanic language. Because the grammar is fundamentally different.

Think some British dialects do it, but generally you will sound foreign and incompetent.

You disgrace the English language.

The H is silent in bongspeak
