    or super complicated Latin that contradicts itself and absorbed things from everywhere at random.

    English borrowed a shit tonne from Latin & Romance languages, but it is at its core a Germanic language.

    To make a joke that still sticks with the facts, maybe something like “wannabe Latin”, or “that shitty Romeaboo language”.
