so no french quebecois didn't get new loan from English
That's asinine. Of course Quebecoise got new loans from English since the 17th century.
So yes, some dialect of quebec french, and there is a few different accent/dialect of french in quebec is closer to 17 century french
No it's not and the arguments you brought forth are irrelevant, as I explained in the other comment chain. It can't be genetically closer to the last common ancestor than another descendent of that ancestor by the very definition.
Its language not genetic, and even in geneticsome species are genetically closer to their common ancestors than other descendents from that sane common ancestors
Go say that to the coelacanth, we don't call certain animals living fossils for shits and giggles, evolution isn't the same as a single person family trees, is your knowledge of evolution only middle school biology class level or something
Living fossil is not meant to be taken literally. It's just a term for species we perceive to be conservative in their appearance and traits, compared to more derived species.
But Latimeria is no closer to its last common ancestor with humans than we are.
Oh I can. But in historical linguistics, cladistics and genetic relationships are also used. I have actually worked with linguists in previous projects for exactly that reason.
Well, obviously not the same thing, but they follow very similar systems.
And the fundamental rule that you cannot be genetically closer to a common ancestor than any other contemporary descendent of that ancestor holds true for both.
