Neither the Germanic nor the Celtic languages are descended from Latin, so Latin is irrelevant to this question.
Not decended, but highly influenced by… I’m sure you’ll agree 👍
@@DoctorCymraeg Ehhhh, influenced, yes - but I'm pretty sure Latin didn't determine the adjective placement of non-Romance languages. English is probably the most Romance-influenced Germanic language... and it's still adjective-first, unlike all the actual Romance languages.
As my mother tongue is Brazilian Portuguese I don't find anything strange about this postponing of the adjectives😇
Well statistically, English is backwards, because the theory is that SOV languages tend to go adjective-first (the most important part comes last), and SVO languages tend to go adjective-last (the most important part comes first). So who's the weird one now
It’s english that’s silly. “The red car collided with the bollard at the junction.”
The least important word there (in a normal sentence) is the adjective. Yet it precedes the noun and, more bizarrely, the verb.
If you think that's silly, the most common word order in the world places the verb at the end of the sentence.
@@smergthedargon8974 Well quite. Most people are silly!
Agreed noun first not backwards at all. But how about a note listing the few adjectives that usually come first? There's "hen" of course, and "hoff" i think-- my old favorite examples. Any others? Are there times when the noun comes after any "ordinary" adjectives?
Great shout! PRIF, AIL, HOFF, HEN, GWELL, GWAHANOL, et al can all precede nouns in Welsh. Using them *after* nouns can still be done, but it’s a little more ‘poetic’ to do so 👍
@DoctorCymraeg haha! “Ymgyfodais y bore yma o’m pêr gwsg, a gwledda ar amryw flasus bethau o’m ysblennydd frecwast.”
Reit, cadair prifardd plîs!

In addition to the few adjectives which usually precede the noun, it's a way of adding emphasis, right?
Ei arfwig euraid = His golden armour
Ei euraid arfwisg = His GOLDEN armour
Ni a wrug goryskynna Dewnans!
🤦♂️😂😂😂😂
Yn hwir? Ny allav y grysi. Nyns yw Dewnens mar hir, yn neb kas - po dhe’m tybyans vy.
like "rode auto" in Dutch... :-(
RODE AUTO is on that map… somewhere 😂
VSO languages are pretty common, no big deal. What gets me is when people hear a language they don't understand and they say it sounds like reverse speech. Um, yeah…no. Such ignorance. Mae dy fideo'n dda iawn. Helo o Efrog Newydd!
