What do you mean by /lit/? Do you mean language that most great works are written in, or do you mean most flexible language that allows for better writing?

>> No.12809692

Greek and Latin are overrated. Here are the top 5 /lit/ languages:
1. French- strongest literary tradition nuff said
2. Chinese- to prepare for when the Chinese ubermench take over, gives you access to a goldmine of untranslatable literature, and you get to talk to superior chink waifus
3. Portuguese- to read Pessoa and the goldmine of untranslated Portuguese poets
4. German- to read the blackpilled Austrians
5. Japanese- to watch anime and read manga in their intended language

Italian has one the longest and richest literary traditions in the world, and its poetry has always been top-tier since the 13th century to the 20th century included (D'Annunzio, Montale, Ungaretti, Zanzotto). You can not leave it out.
