Why don’t ESLs on here use their native language internet and consume their native language media and literature instead of English stuff? What is the native language content and material like?
What's the point of going for a translation if I can get the original?>mediaI do>literatureI don't consume literature

>>215941196I do both
Because it's nigger spic tier low shit
>>215941196You do realize that English is a lingua franca of the internet, and the number of people you can communicate with, is much larger, than when speaking a native language, RIGHT?Consider that there's a greater amount of content in English. I watch shit from content creators who do not speak English as their native language, some German dude who plays games, some Lithuanian girl who likes getting naked and then shows off her tits in onlyfans.If there wasn't a lingua franca, we would be unable to communicate.English is not just Chives and Cletuses communicating.
>>215941370Latin script supporting the Hindi dialect is disgusting
I alternate between 4chan and flashback.org depending on which one is less obnoxious at the moment
What makes you think we don't you retard? People can enjoy multiple things. Not much content to pick from when you're from a country of 6 million people
>>215941196we vassal states worship our anglo overlords as gods
>>215941785don't forget us nigels
The quality of posts that are made in my language and country are low quality in general. Yes, I'm aware that we're also polluting the Anglo Western Internet but you guys are just that good when it comes to looking up things.
>>215944633everyone loves you
>>215941196I do both85% French15% English15% = 4chan, some streamers in English and some YouTube videos with sub
>>215941196I don't want to interact with subhumans from my country.>native language internetAn absolute wasteland. No interesting content, no discussion relevant to my interests.>native language media and literatureLiterally doesn't exist.The only time I use my native language online is when I read the news periodically. Needless to say, it always reminds me how absolutely fucked things are here, so it's not a pleasant experience.
>>215941196Because there's less of it.
>>215942267Aren't standard Croatian, Bosnian, and Montenegrin thoroughly mutually intelligible with Serbian, on the level of American and British English? So that's another 7 or 8 million.
>>215941196Since 2005 when I got my computer and broadbrand internet I've consuming mostly American content, from torrents to you'vee videos where Americans just recorded themselves with their webcams.Brazilian internet only really gained traction after 2010 and it's mostly junk and random memes, the real information is in the English internet to this day.
>>215944633>Yes, I'm aware that we're also polluting the Anglo Western InternetNo don't say that, you guys are cool.
>>215941370>Indian languages don't have words for "story" and "music"
>>215947377The English words "story" and "music" are themselves from French. English had its own words for those concepts ("spell" or "tale" and "dream" respectively) but when we borrowed the French words the English words shifted or narrowed in meaning. There would have been a time when the English and French words existed in parallel; presumably that's the current state of affairs in Hindi. (Wiktionary suggests that "story" in Hindi is "kahani" or "dastan" and music is "sangit" or "mausiqi"; presumably the author of the post chose the English words for the same reason some medieval Englishmen chose the French words, whatever that may be.)
>>215947573Bodied that freak
>>215947612Just sharing knowledge :)
>>215947573French was invented in England though
>>215947685How do you figure?
>>215941196Media made in English is going to be the best quality because it makes the most money thus has the highest budgets and the most talented people working on them. You local media won't be able to compete with english media barring a few exceptions.
>>215941196Saenyi baet te khandaeni drama chhu khaeli buzargan lokan khyatr>>215941370Are you from UP or bihar, babu?
>>215941196Russian internet is dying because handlers of all major sites (including dvach since 2016) are controlled by FSB and lakhtabots.Back then it was glorious.
>>215947706>oldest text of the Song of Roland is in Anglo-Norman dialect and is still in Oxford>oldest history in French was 'Estoire des Engleis'>two-thirds of all Francophone texts from prior to 1200 AD come from Englandsimple as
>>215949300The language still evolved from Latin in France and was then brought to England. Language can exist without writing.
>>215949386We've had this argument before. I am right, you are mistaken, I will not be engaging any more. Please accept the truth and know God's goodness, sir.
>>215947377Kek, English took those from french, we have them too>historia>música
>>215949300WE WUZ in 2025, kek
>>215949446Franks were a Germanic people whose Old Frankish language was mutually intelligible with Old English.The only thing more embarrassing than 'WE WUZ' is 'WE WUZN'T'. Well, that and being arg*Nsimian
>>215949476YOU, SIR, (IN FACT) WUZN'T.
>>215941196only Americans have culture
>>215949424Music comes from GreekHistory comes directly from LatinYou are retarded
>>215949491Not an argument lol
>>215941196>willingly engaging with brazilian """"culture""" and """"people""""No thanks. I would unlearn how to speak portuguese if I could.
>>215949411To be clear, do you think French was spoken in England before 1066?>>215949476Yeah- til it was replaced with colloquial Latin.
>>215949502>Music comes from Greek>History comes directly from Latin>You are retardedGuess what comes directly from greek and latin then, my beloved germanic barbarian tribe descendant
>>215949509You didn't invent french, just got ZUTTED by normands>Vowel shift LMAO
>>215941196I really don't understand why only like 3 or 4 languages have ANY fucking content worth experiencing. English, duh. Japanese if you're a weeb or gamer. And Koreans are on the come up. France has a history of literature and art and boring pretentious movies....but what in the ever loving fuck are the rest of you doing?!? Where is your stuff? Why do we have to make everything for the world to enjoy?
>>215941196I find it easier to express myself in english.Modern brazilian portuguese is like a caveman language.
>>215949717>Where is your stuff?1.You probably aren't interested2.You wouldn't understand it due to a langauge barrier as most things rest untranslatedSimple as
>>215941196Because all of it fucking sucks. It's either TikTok-tier slop for retards, pseudo intellectual slop we stole from a Westerner and then proceeded to dumb down to the point of being pointless, footie slop, religious slop, or we wuzz caliphs slop. All of this with an added dose of "allalalalahu snackbarrr salalalalahu alaihu wasalam" at the start and end of every video and the top comment is invariably "Have you prayed for the prophet today?" "Don't forget our brothers in Falasteez!" "Ummm brozzer music is haram delete the music in your videos" or some other flavor of religiotard retardation.I have yet to see a single decent arap content creator that didn't have one or all of these and all of them irritate me to no end instead of entertaining me. I'll stick with the Anglo slop instead.
>>215941196>What is the native language content and material like?almost non existent compared to the sea of content in englishit's also very bad
>>215941196>Why don’t ESLs on here use their native language internet and consume their native language media and literature instead of English stuffAnd lock myself out from 99.9% of the internet? Kek, fuck off.
Most Germans do, actually.
>>215949605>my beloved germanic barbarian tribe descendantFranks
Reading in French > Speaking in FrenchReading in English < Speaking in English
>>215941196Extremely more normalfag tier. The problem with most thirdie countries is that our high culture is effectively English because our elites study in English. Look to China if you want to see a deeper richer non English internet ecosystem.
>>215941196Also shouldn't you be happy? It's like a Roman looking around the Med and going "oh why does everyone learned use Latin or Greek? where's everything else"
>>215941370>>215941427Okay but can you do that not here? Like on your own sites?
>>215941196Why don't Americans just speak in their own unique language? Why are they cucking themselves by speaking a European language?
>>215941196Well I already know english. So my options are>consume content made by ~40m peoplevs>consume content made by several billion peopleObviously the latter will have a much larger variety for me to choose from. It's also that everyone who seeks any sort of an audience, whether it's a musician, a writer or a youtuber, he will choose the potential audience of several billion over 40 million, thus even further increasing the amount of english language content.
>>215941196translated from english and usually trashy, nobody does anything but shitpost
>>215953551No
>see a bafflingly retarded statement>check the flag>it's americanMany such cases.
