well they should be the same, because the roman languages are as far away from the german languages as russian or chinese is from lets say german. there were alway trade routes from europe to azia from the early roman empire and before. look at the vikings (who were said to have really found the north american continent, that is not sure, but they were on greenland way before civilised europe ever thought it existed) they were harassing a couple of continents from sea, as early as 800 AC.
anyone know this one (laaaargely off topic)?

haven't heard it out outside of dutch speaking belgium, but seems too universal for anyone not to understand.
