| This is really cool, but I think there are many alternate answers you should accept, for consistency's sake. Cabot's language, Venetian, and Napoleon's, Corsican, should be counted, along with Columbus's Ligurian. None were mutually intelligible with what Rose McGowan speaks. You should note for Alexander that you're referring to Ancient Macedonian, not to an ancestor of today's Macedonian language. And exactly at what point in the Ptolemaic dynasty did the Ptolemies' koine transfer from Ancient Macedonian to Ancient Greek? Are you sure Freddie Mercury didn't speak Gujarati? His family were Parsis, but that doesn't mean they spoke Farsi, since they were from Gujarat. A long time before, his ancestors would have. |
