Actually, when you translate Chinese literally word for word, it sounds a lot like caveman English.

你不去,我也不去

You no go, I also no go

今天这里人很多

Today here person very many

下雨就不去

Fall rain then no go

If you translate English literally (a very analytical language) to a very synthetic language (eg. Latin), it also sounds like caveman spreak

Classical latin is not very order constrained because it embeds so much grammar morphologically; it could aound very much like english or not at all like english, depending on the author's choices.

Vulgar latin does correspond to modern romance languages (and english) much more closely.
