Which of the following is not a historical origin of the english language?
a. greek and roman mythology
b. greek language
c. latin language
d. roman language

d

Explanation:

D). Roman language.

Explanation:

As per the question, 'roman language' does not represent a historical origin of the English language as it has no affiliation to the genesis of the English language. The English language is deeply influenced by the 'Greek and Roman mythology' as it has a significant impact on western culture and the English language and literature.

There is a significant impact of 'Greek language' in the construction of English language as there are several English root words like 'atlas', 'eros', 'muses', etc. that have found their origin in Greek language while 'Latin influence' in the language could also not be ignored due to its significant contribution in the formation of English vocabulary in particular and language in general. Thus, option D is the correct answer.
