>the Romance languages borrowed their names of the cardinal directions (north, south, east, and west) from English

I don’t get it, this are all similar so it’s easy to assume that it’s derived from latin.

>The Spanish/Portuguese word "barco" translates to "navis" in Latin. This term refers to a ship or boat. The word "barco" itself is derived from the Latin "barca," which in turn comes from the Ancient Greek "βᾶρις" (bâris). Same for the other romance languages, i imagine, specially Italian
Also, the japanese got their word from the Portuguese sailors.

In resume this wiki article (def wrote by a dumb chud like you) is wrong and you are retarded

Boat isn’t a Norman word (bateau)?

Because they seemed more practical when the French brought them.
We still have the originals, not used a lot, and they are still not archaic: settentrione, meridione, occidente, oriente.
