As far as functionality goes, I'd say English, simply due to it's massive vocabulary.

Sven please, there's a reason why French men are stereotyped as lady killers and you Nordic types as boring victims of adultery.

If you were to take a poll, the language we are currently speaking is most likely to have the most popular opinion behind it, simply because people are selfish and consider their traits to be superior, or don't want to have to learn a new language. But also because it has become something of an international language, as it has long been established as the language of trade and international communication in many countries, despite not being the most spoken language. That would be Mandarin, but obviously that can't be the winner LOL

Nope. You try getting used to spoken French and understanding a French movie. Fuck no it ain't easy.
Most of my fellow Americans are shit of shit at speaking or even understanding normal spoken French but walk around like they're fluent.

Personal opinion here my favorites are:

- French

Icelandic is great for that linguistic purity.

As a Germanic language itself, English speakers should admire that.

English. We have zero derivation. We can literally use nouns as verbs and vice versa with no stem change. I took a run, I golf clubbed that zombie's head, I Googled why English is the most superior language ever made, etc.
>>
>>1595073
English gets most of its words from French and German, so it's not purely a "Germanic" or a "Romantic" language. It has Celtic roots as well
>>
>>1592902
Italian I would say. And i'm French.
>>
Best sounding - French, Italian, Latin, Nipongo, Arabiyya.

Most useful modern languages 1) English, 2) Standard Mandarin, 3) Español, 4) Arabic, 5) Hindi/Urdu, 6) French, 7) Portuguese

Most important historical languages - Latin, Hellenic, Classical Chinese, Sanskrit

What should be the structure of progression for this to be effective? If my calculations are correct, one would need to spend an average of 4 hours a day practicing one of these languages to accomplish the 25 week timeline; is that feasible?

Literally just described the french tongue. Shove a white flag up your ass.

I choose spanish. Sounds super sexy on women AND men. If you think it sounds too gay, just speak mexican spanish where you growl every fuckin word.
>>
>>1595161
English has almost no German or Celtic words

I always found french eloquent and and romantic with no effect on the speakers masculinity or femininity.
>>
>>1597536
Mexican Spanish sounds too barbaric to me. That goes for most of south American language.

If you ask me, French sounds sexy and elegant.
>>
>>1597445
Completely different ballgame we're talking about. French has countless soft or dropped sounds in speech which makes for an incredibly difficult time of trying to understand it spoken normally, particularly when you consider the various different accents, the high rate of speech, and the large amount of idioms they use.
Latin? Try Chinese m8. Latin is for pussies who can't handle moon runes.
See what I did there?
>>
>>1595812
whats wrong with our writing system
>>
>>1599108
sea, wen yew ask this...
>>
>>1599108
most of letters have multiple ways to pronounce them and doesn't have any rules to determinate which way is correct in given word. But that shouldn't be a problem unless you are trying to write unknown word.
>>
>>1599108
The only way to know for sure how a word is pronounced is to hear someone say it. There is no guidance from the spelling.
The whole language is filled to the brim with homographs and homophones.
