We need to simplify it further.

The number of words is not the same as the complexity of a language.

I'd have to agree. Even people fluent in English don't necessarily have a proficiency in English. There are a lot of exceptions to grammar rules based on some quirk in the language that developed hundreds of years ago. The good thing about English is that even with its structure you can still bastardize it and be understood if you use enough structured grammar around what you're messing up. This is coming from a person with English as a first language.

At least we don't have politeness levels. A lot of languages have two levels of politeness written into the grammar. Japanese has four. English used to have it but it got dropped in favor of more simplified pronouns.

10 is divisible by 2 and 5.
This is why base 12 > base 10

>>157570585
If anything I'd say English doesn't have enough rules, and the ones it has have lots of exceptions, making it a pain in the ass.
Why even bother using the Latin alphabet when half the time you don't follow some pattern when pronouncing words? In Portuguese you can pretty much pronounce anything you see written.

>>157567406
Yeah, the New York accent might be a better analog, since Osaka stereotypes in Japan are more like New York stereotypes (loud, rude, and a lot of comedians).

Tohoku-ben might be a better analog for Southern. The Japs actually rendered the Southern black speech in their translation of Uncle Remus as the Tohoku accent.

In the 1600s, Brits and Americans both sounded more like the Oirish.

>>157570683
In English we adopted high society's level of etiquette to show how polite we are so its mainly about how you act more than what you say. To be rude in English it's all about tone and vocabulary specifically curse words which can be confusing to ESLs if they don't have a grasp on that. As an example "You're a fucking asshole." is an effective way to be rude, and will probably get you into a fight. "Sorry, but I don't like you very much." is a polite way of saying the same thing, and will probably get you into into an argument but most likely not worse.

>>157570749

if it's a kansai or okinawan accent that certainly isn't a poor way to translate it.

Japan doesn't have an "england" with a "sophisticated" Japanese, they have a regional "slurred/slanged or hick" japanese. While it doesn't sound to the ear much like a southern accent, translating it as irish or southern isn't too far off.

Most US military personnel, with the exception of the Navy for some strange reason, also use y'all very frequently.

>>157571867
That's because most of them are from the south.

>>157567897
Nah, sometimes dipshit translators will try to pull a Mark Twain and write out an accent, without any of his talent and only the most shallow stereotypical idea of what it really sounds like.

>>157571867
Isn't that because most recruits come from the South or something like that?

>>157571867
There are a lot of southerners in the armed forces. Their speech tends to rub off on the yanks and cascadians.

>>157571958
>>157571966
That is true, but that doesn't explain why the ones who don't come from the South also end up using it. A more likely reason is because all the branches except the Navy have bootcamp/basic training in the South, and also have a fuckload of other bases scattered throughout the region, so people who spend any amount of time in uniform are likely to be in the South at some point if they don't go overseas.

I'm from the West Coast originally and I still ended up adopting the term, so it wasn't natural for me.

>>157572083
The main reason is that its easier to use the term "Y'all" than "You all." though unnatural it cuts corners in speaking and delivers the message to precise group of people.

Slang, brah. (Ironically, dude/brah are terms used in the South a lot.)

>>157567406

And yeah it's funny that saying "dude" is attributed to Califags when damn near the rest of the country says it too. It's just Califags that call females "dude" too.

>>157572799
I'm not into the history of words and point of origins, but I'm pretty sure "Dude" has been mostly associated with hippie movements that popped up in 50-70s which had a lot of people up in Cali, which got attributed to Cali. You also had a bunch of stoners in media using the term "Dude" who were hippies or beach guys in Cali or Forida.

And yeah most people who use "Dude" use it to describe a peer and person (Mainly male) in other places than Cali which is used for females as well.
