It's about the most prescriptivist language there is. La Francophonie fights every attempt to create new words or phrases to keep up with the times, hence 'pomme de terre'.

Again, English focuses on describing things which is literally the point of language instead of clinging onto the habits of long dead men.

Your language is exactly what down syndrome people sound like when they speak Spanish, it sounds pathetically disgusting and dumb, as soon as you teach portuguese to a child you make it impossible for his IQ to rise above 90, it is disgusting and you all sound like the fucking monkeys that you are, but even worst than portuguese from Portugal, is your retarded faggot accent, you Brazilian sub-human, people who haven't heard you chimpanzees won't understand, but your accent makes it sound like you're in complete shock and awe at everything you see, it makes any human being who is not a mulatto favela dwelling monkey like you want to rip their ears off, and let's not even talk about historical significance
Actually let's do it, there is no language more despicable than portuguese not only because it is an ugly and deformed version of Spanish, but also because it is completely fucking dull and nothing is respectable about it, NOBODY has ever written anything important or interesting in your insignificant language, if anyone wants to learn portuguese i only have 3 possible reasons i can come up with that would justify their decision:
1)They are mentally retarded
2)They want to be able to understand the half-breed Brazilians who will rape them and kill them when they go to any Brazilian shithole of a city
3)Or they want to read fucking 15th century maps,nothing else of significance was created in this ugly collection of guttural sounds
That's all that there is to your ugly stupid language, and just know, that you will live your entire life, speaking in that disgusting mistake of a tongue, and you should kill yourself because of it.

A university.
Go look at their syllabi and then employ the internet; afterward, their microforms.

polish is the most beautiful purely on account of how good it is at slaughtering anglophones

Hungarian is my favourite, closely followed by Icelandic and japanese. Germanic languages are nice and easy to learn due to their inescapable nature, but their commonness makes them the fucking cheeseburger of languages.

Maybe just because I'm a fucking weeb, but I always thought Japanese was a beautiful language. The way they deliver it in their movies, music, and tv feel sounds so nice, and it is all well articulated. To speak the language, you already need a pretty high IQ I feel. Worst Asian language imho is Vietnamese. Sounds so gross.

You're not imagining that.

>>14566929
The reason why English is actually legitimately the most aesthetic of the European languages, or at least one of the reasons, is that most of the words end with a consonant instead of a vowel. Another is that for some reason, initial and second-syllable stress being prime is for whatever reason euphonious.

Interesting. That's actually one of the things I dislike the most about English.

You can literally decipher from the roots what an ambulance is in German - sick wagon. I wade through a lot of German by inching through the etymology. I would probably have a more difficult time with this method in English. The cases are a different story altogether.

I'm inclined to agree, not out of weebdom, but due to the fact that I don't like how Korean and Chinese sound.

>>14565990

I'm Hungarian myself and I don't think it's that simple. Hungarian, to me, has always felt, well, "earthy"? Hungarian sounds the best when it's not trying to be lofty and sublime. It's the same thing as Russian, really, in this regard. Languages are, IMO, a bit deterministic in terms of their tendency to be suited to a particular activity, if that makes sense.

it's not our fault the pope gave us the region where the amazon river debouch, giving us more mobility to infiltrate the continent than your shitty countries isolated by mountains.
It's also not our fault that we invested in livestock early on forcing us to expand to the "depopulated" (since nobody cares about indigenous people) interior.
But hey, it was good for us raping the deal, hope you enjoyed as well, tchau.
