English is a very efficient language in comparison to basically every other language in the world
I dont know how it ended up that way considering the history of the language but there’s no doubts in my mind that English is the language spoken in Heaven
>>
Yeah yeah good job not forgetting your proxy this time dude
>>
>>220982383
It’s just so retardedly oversimplified that it’s the only analytic IE language. But if being analytic is what one would call “efficient” (whatever the fuck that means), there are plenty of actual analytic languages that aren’t abominations with half of its words being French and essentially arbitrary pronunciation “rules”.

Why do Zoomers have such a hard-on for Bob Amerikansson? Swedish is on par if not a bit more compact. I'm a Native English as well as Swedish speaker.
>>
>>220982383
Learning other languages has made me very grateful that I got English as my native tongue. It shouldn't, but everything you say in it just makes sense
>>
>>220982570
Swedish has double definiteness
English: the big house
Swedish: det store huset (-et being completely useless filler suffix since det is already a definite article, danish avoids this, and obviously English)
Swedish is filled to the brim with such dumb inefficient grammar rules
>>
Anglos are just slightly more sentient than other races. That’s why our language is the best. Other races are either too dumb or too analytical.
>>
>>220982646
Swedish has no more of it than English does. You will never be American.

>>220982383
truth nuke

>>220982570
Might be true about Swedish but it doesn't matter.
We just don't want to sound like this guy.

Sure I do

I'll accept it. He sounds happy and friendly.

arent all the nordic languages also analytic
and irish iirc
>>
>>220982460
english's mixed heritage actually has been nothing but a help for its wide adoption.
if you cannot pronounce english you are simply retarded. if 1,500,000,000 chinamen can pronounce pictures you can remember some orthographic rules only slightly more complicated than portuguese
the only problem with english is phrasal verbs
>>
>>220982383
Any language that can have puns is error prone. If the language is error prone, therefore, ipso facto, it is inefficient.

>It’s just so retardedly oversimplified that it’s the only analytic IE language
This is the level of knowledge of the average Anglophobe, everyone.

isn't italian simpler?
>>
>>220982383
We were tired of speaking a combination of Dutch, French, Norse,Gaelic and Welsh so we tried to do as little of it as possible while also inventing modern industry so we could spend more time alone at home speaking to no one. Anything that required too many words to say gradually got dropped or relegated to written English only.

Your grammar is so clunky in practice that you just concatenate everything to death to avoid it
Which is just the same thing functionally as archaic-origin English idioms to save reasoning everything out each time, but less efficient. Also no one speaks high German anymore.
>>
>>220987433
I'm from New England. We were also tired of England's bullshit so we fucked off, rebelled and made our own, with voting and Amish. Cry about it. They shouldn't have been such class war fags (still are).
>>
>>220987382
no such thing as italian
>>
>>220987312
does your plantation conlang not have puns?

>>220982383
fitting flag, faggot
