This is partially difficult for me since I represent minority population. I am a Finnnishswede and my primarly alighment goes to that particular group, I am germanic by blood, linguistics and culture, however I am also citizen of Fenno-Ugrian country and I consider myself as Finlander as opposed to Swedish. So, I guess I am a periphery Germanic
![]() Germanic |

I would answer this thread, but the very concept of linguistic subgroups as meta-ethnicities is fallacious. Especially since linguistic subgroups may overlap or be uncertain and undetermined. When it comes to which specific language you are speaking now, it is no determinant of the way this thread interprets linguistic subgroups: as non-linguistic subgroups, but as determinants of origin and culture and ethnicity. Which is a fallacy, since that is nowhere near entirely true. Its a stereotypical generalization, and an unjustified extrapolation and misinterpretation of linguistics.

I wish I could change my vote to "Other"... Ideally my new meta-ethnicity would be François (old French/vieux Français), with my ethnicity being Oïl French, for the most part. It's not easy and very complex being a French nowadays, more than being just Romance.

That would be what is left of natives (genuine), not tainted with a foreign influence (culturally speaking), Old compared to neo, the ones who arrived recently.

We can also use the term of Français de souche. |

We indeed are the heirs of gauls and spiritualy of the greco-romans' classic culture, but while French gallo-romain does it, English Romance sounds too generic.
And afteral, aren't we also a distinct entity from other "Romance" speakers? Romance... "c'est du 'packaging' " Quote:
