As we know, out of loyalty to the British Crown, their ancestors fled there from what was becoming the United States. As a person whose parents came from another culture, being of Armenian origin, I have always had the impression, seeing these two languages coexisting, that this was what gave each much of their originality and dynamism. In the end, this coexistence introduced many resemblances into the two languages, compensating in large part for what distinguished one from the other.
Moi dont les parents, d'origine arménienne, étaient d'une autre culture, j'ai toujours eu le sentiment, à voir se côtoyer ces deux langues, française et anglaise, que l'une donnait à l'autre une bonne partie de son originalité et de sa force et qu'au bout du comptes elles arrivaient, par cette mise en commun, à se ressembler et à compenser largement ce qui les distinguait.
