    Interlingua: Da nos hodie nostre pan quotidian,

    Esperanto: Nian panon ĉiutagan donu al ni hodiaŭ

    English: Give us this day our daily bread;

    We have our choice between Spanish Latin, Romanian Latin, or super complicated Latin that contradicts itself and absorbed things from everywhere at random.

      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”.
