>70,000 french words vs 500,000 english

English is a germanic-latin hybrid. German can claim more words but that is cheating as they compound fucking everything. The fact that you didn't say Russian for their complete lack of syntax makes you a fucking pleb.

>>17650227
Spanish, Arabic, Russian, Indonesian, Japanese

>Spanish for its important colonial interactions and long, rich history. French and Portuguese have similar contributions, but Spanish is far more common, and so would be far more useful.

>Arabic, for its important religious, poetic, and scientific writings. You can't read the word of God without this language, nor could the important poetry be read or felt without this.

>Russian for the great novels of the late 19th and early 20th century, as well as the revolutionary writings of great socialist thinkers. Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, as much as Lenin and Stalin.

>Indonesian for its postcolonial, nationalistic perspective. A rising sense of identity, independence, and a conversion of many different cultures and viewpoints. Absolutely essential, especially for a modern internationalist perspective.

>Japanese for its noble, honor-based religious fascism, which help connect the East with the West, and creates a synthesis of the two. Also for its anime :3

Grammatically and phonetically? For modern languages it is either Italian or the Scots language.
No other languages are grammatically equal in the modern world.

>>Japanese for its noble, honor-based religious fascism, which help connect the East with the West, and creates a synthesis of the two. Also for its anime :3

Shakespeare is early Modern English, from only a few hundred years ago, while dialects of Ancient Greek are thousands of years ago.

>>17650227
I would argue English because there’s a large collection of native works as well as an endless amount of translations. The rest would obviously be French, Arabic, Persian, Chinese, German, Russian, Latin, Ancient Greek, Sanskrit, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and Japanese. Languages that are spoken by a lot of people and have a lot of history.

>>17652738
English changed a lot during the Norman conquest. Greek doesn't have a comparable event that would have led to massive change, like English went through.

Languages change mainly through their interactions with other languages. Without major interaction, through conquest or immigration, languages stay more or less the same over time.

Of course I'm talking about European Portuguese, and not any other degraded dialects.

>>17652474
that's why Misato has purple hair. Not to mention that there isn't a competition within the show for shinji but that each female contributes something for him. Rei's questions have no answers that wouldn't stop her from asking them, and the only metric she can be measured by is sheer scale of 'reason' or intellect, which is only computational speed - her 'NPC' program operates with more space rather than flesh - which is how she IS measured in the End of Evangelion, a giant. Her questions are just as much echo locators against reality asuka's social prodding. An individual would never self validate, only a self-conscious system. The dynamic situation which Asuka has to go through will only allow her to grow stronger as a human being, and thus allow her to find her individuality in the messy human form, also what happens in the end with shinji. Asuka is an atom until a human being, but rei is the inhuman composite of human ingenuity until death and beyond. All steps in the step circle.

God artikles are annoying in German

>>17656861
articles aren't actually an issue, honestly. Articles are pretty straight forward. I dislike latin languages because they don't have articles in the same way. Put it or not at all, not this fucking bullshit of : well no, but yes.
I like German and French because of this. German offers more ways of expressive thought though because it can be as linear and clear cut as French, but it can also do stride away from this and build these complex sentence structures that are intertwined and offer expression even in syntax, which arguably french does not -- cannot.
English is a mix of the two in that. It depends what you value in a language and how talented you are a speaker/writer if English is just as brilliant, even more so maybe than either, or just a worse version.

I wish to learn a non-Indo-European language. Would Arabic or Mandarin be my best bet? I'd like to learn a language with use beyond /lit/ (such as chatting with people online), but a good set of literature would be nice too. Arabic I think would be nicer bc I know a language with significant Arabian influence and bc of the script as opposed to characters/hanzi. Chinese would be more relevant to my life, but with political tensions being what they are and the Great Firewall and all, I dunno if learning Chinese would open me to more people than Arabic would.
