Abolitionists are driven by a desire to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with their God (Micah 6:8). Abolitionists are not interested in merely abstaining from evil themselves, but are committed to exposing evil and bringing it into conflict with the truth of Christianity (Ephesians 5:11).
Old English came from proto-Germanic (the long-dead language that gave rise to today's Germanic languages) â¦ . Proto-Germanic came from proto-Indo-European, which is the ancestor of most of the languages spoken in Europe, India, and some nearby areas.
No matter the origin, though, words rarely, if ever, are immediately accepted into the English language. Here is a list of the most common foreign language influences in English, where other languages have influenced or contributed words to English.1  Celtic words are almost absent, except for dialectal words, such as the Yan Tan Tethera system of counting sheep. Joseph M. Williams, in Origins of the English Language, estimated that about 1% of English words are of Dutch origin. 2  See also: List of English words of Dutch origin, List of place names of Dutch origin, Dutch linguistic influence on naval terms and List of English words of Afrikaans origin.
