For learning a second language that you would like to write in, what is aesthetically/objectively better over English for writing in verse (ballads, epics, etc)? Huge linguistic customisation is a bonus.

My ideas are any of the romance languages, or perhaps Latin. Anyone who says ancient Greek can BTFO, because I aesthetically don't like it.

Not writing to publish, so translation plebs don't scare me.

>>	Anonymous Tue Oct 27 22:50:56 2020 No.16667210 >>16667135 What makes Japanese special over Chinese for writing, then? IMO, the inherited characters from mandarin are what make Japanese cool in the first place.

>>	Anonymous Tue Oct 27 22:52:09 2020 No.16667219 >>16667125 Latin is objectively the patrician choice. Thomas Hobbes wrote his autobiography in Latin verse; Pope, Johnson, and Swift all wrote with equal comfort in English and Latin; wouldn't you like to do the same?

>>	Anonymous Tue Oct 27 22:53:47 2020 No.16667228 >>16667125 Polish for aesthetics reasons. Not even memeing, they sound like Russian if Russian were cute

>>	Anonymous Tue Oct 27 22:55:21 2020 No.16667244 >>16667219 I would, but Latin also has an allergy towards pauses. Plus, reading it out loud easily would be a bonus, so it might be a bit too 'dead' for my tastes.
