>Instead born in America, with shit English trying to create gender neutral pronouns for their already cucked language.
why even live?

Russian is surprisingly beautiful sounding, no so much because of the language, but because of the intonation they use. Whenever I hear a Russian reciting poetry, he/she puts on a completely different tone and character from his common everyday speech. He sounds as I he/she is telling a fairy tale.

Russian > French > Italian > English > German > Spanish > ... > Portuguese

Can we all agree that Portuguese is the ugliest abortion of a language to have ever surfaced from stomach gases right into the mouth?

>>2403825
But Portuguese(European one that is) is the closest to Russian you can get on romance languages.

>>2403823
You have to go back. You ungrateful spic.

It's okay, in 100 years America will be glorious Latin civilization as well.

Pure Anglo-Saxon is like the ultimate language of plebeians and pig herders. This is even reflected in modern English where French and Latin words are considered fancy whereas Anglo-Saxon words are peasant speech.

Puerto Rico already has a higher GDP per capita than Spain.

It's also not a country.

Dutch language is full of French words, even for basic shit (like "river")
England has the excuse of having been invaded by the French and ruled by them for centuries, but why the fuck is Dutch so cucked by French language?
The Netherlands were never occupied by France, except for two short decades in the early 19th century

>>2403885
How embarrassing.

Overtaken by a literal non-country.

>>2403891
>The Netherlands were never occupied by France
No, but it was owned by Burgundy who were French.

>>2403878
it also has the population of madrid

that's why I always laugh when burgers shit on ''tacospeak''

I am a native spanish speaker from an actual latinoamerican country and i can say that what Americans call Spanish is disgusting, abhorrent Mexican slang deviced out of sheer lazyness by the vile Chicano breed.

I'm googling the quote from Frederick the great but keep on getting something from Charles V. It looks fake.

Romance languages have to be "considered" fancy because they are in fact ear-rape.

Puerto Rico is part of the US, therefore its GDP per capita is the same as the US

What other languages are regal and sacred? Greek, Sanskrit?

Cervantes said Portuguese is a sweet and gracious language. It is the language of Camões someone who is on the same level as Dante, Shakespeare, etc..

Could be also the fact that they were both ruled by Franks at one point, and that Dutch is certainly the closest to the Frankish language nowadays. Certainly closer than French at the very least.

>stk indo-eurooppalaisen orjarodun edustajat kiistelevät siitä kenen mongerrus on parhaimman kuuloista

>>2405946
The cucking of Dutch language is unrelated to that
Dutch is full of French words of Latinate origin (and Franks spoke a Germanic language)

It's probably much more recent, from the era when French was the lingua franca (17th-early 20th century), but it's pretty weird because even the, the Dutch were much closer from the Germans than from the French

>>2403677
Romance languages are what happened when backwater yokels tried to speak Latin.

It's like Southern California Spanglish or ebonics becoming its own language out of English

Hot opinions coming though: A speakers native language is what typically sounds the best to them

>>2405982
Just naming the possibilities at this point. I know it is a Germanic language, but that the word comes from French being lingua Franca for a while? Eh.

Dunno, seemed a bit too odd to be possible. Guess it can be though.

>Romance language = language that derived from Latin because plebeians attempted Latin but couldn't master it and made a feral abortion of the language
>German = language that derives from a common link to Latin
Your point was that one sounds better and people in thread say English is spoken by plebeians. However, Romance languages were really spoken by plebeians and English is partly Germanic and partly romance, therefore less plebeian and cucked than Romance languages. And your point was?
