[Despicable Me] What are the linguistic origins of the Minion language?
gpt
Actually, English. First gen minions were taught to speak by Gru. Their isolated population developed its own dialect and language very quickly. Gru never bothered correcting them, and they can more or less still follow English, but they speak in a derrived slang. Minions are highly social but chaotic and anarchanistic. This kept them from trying to become a democracy or overthrowing Gru, but the rapid linguistic drift was an unintended side effect.
