Because until recently, all those nations and peoples had distinct cultures they fought and died for. Now, they don't care so long as they get a welfare check, free healthcare, and their pensions paid for at the end of the day.

None one cared about that shit back then, assimilation was something widely done only on the 19th century. Not to mention it was impossible for a single force to coquer the entirety of Europe for a sustained period of time, it was all fragmented back then, not to mention topography

>>51143850
The proto-germanic language used those prefixes like "be-", "vor-", "zu", "ab", "auf".. etc to give verbs a meaning that reflex the situation of the action.
Those are not specific German. You find them in all germanic languages.
That gramatical form is dead but the words used this way often remained.

It's like the gerund in German.
ich sitze, ich bin sitzend.
I sit, I am sitting.

It's also a dead form but some words often used this way are now adjectives.

Some say Latin would be a good choice.

In my opnion a new design would be the best choice. It should have the following features:

- 3 Cases ( no one neads a genitiv more)
- no gendered nouns, adjectives or articles. &c. no gendered words!
- differenciate between singular, plural, distinct, not distinct only via article.
- no word endings that indicate anything
- only sounds that are native for every language of the EU
- should have a letter for every sound.
- no homonyms but lot's of built in synonyms
- allow word compositions
- the cases system should be save enough to allow any word order and still get the same meaning. No stupid SVO or V2 word order.
-Words to mark opened parentheses and closed parantheses inside of sentences. So you can translate languages that tend to have long sentences and be precise at the sametime.
- future form based on time particle
- past form on time particle
- "before the past" form on time particle
- after the future form on time particle

Any further ideas?

but WHY

>>51145469
WTF

>>51145448
just use some interslavic thing

>>51145448
Are you a real russian or diaspora?

Or Russlandeutsch?

Anyway, refined would mean old Greek.

Why do wierd shit if you have a perfectly capable language right there?

Would be also ok, but the romans had a bigger impact on europe.

They just also learned from the greeks.

people don't have a right to healthcare dipshit

all EU countries have pushed welfare costs onto the taxpayer yet there's net emigration from the EU to the US because professionals and skilled people do not want to bear the extra tax burden

>>51145510
Because.

It works if foreigners would not come to leech.

Sweden before their massive brain damage time looked awesome.

I think those lack grace.

Real Russian. I simply don't like Esperanto from an aesthetical perspective, don't like it's simplistic grammar and unnatural vocabulary. It also sounds quite Latin to me for what it's worth.

I guess the real problem with Greek is that the traditional Greek-speaking areas (converted) have been lost to Islam, and are now Turkish and Arabic instead, having fallen out of the Western civilization as well.

In a perfect world, I'd have Europe actually learn Latin and keep at it no matter the faith, but English is fine too.

You're just jealous you don't live on a continent with actual history.

English, French and German, obviously.

>people don't have a right to healthcare
that's where you're wrong. they do. you can't imagine how bizarre a statement like that sounds to a European of any country. that's like saying people don't have the right to have tap water because that's communist. pants on head retarded. it's a basic indispensable service to every contemporary society.
most Europeans aren't bothered with the taxes they pay because in return, they know the state has the responsability to live up to what they're supposed to do and have your back.

it seems America paid a heavy price for winning the Cold War. welfare means communism, so "the people don't have the right to healthcare", that's a perk reserved for the wealthy. meanwhile, little Timmy's family has to get several mortgages or even sell their house to cover the expenses for his Leuchemia.

great mindset m8. I love the US but this isn't what one would expect from the country who likes to gloat about being #1.

Not if he has insurance, which he should.

>>51138285
English or French I hope, since those are the only languages I know.

>>51146088

>that's where you're wrong. they do

and this is why your country is completely irrelevant in politics and why mine leads the world

No, people do not have a right to my tax money. They do not have the right to leech off my money for life because the government decided that they should subsidize lethargy. For humanity's entire existence, up until the Cold War, there was no free healthcare. If you got sick and couldn't afford medicine you died. The only exceptions were the flu pandemics here that got so out of control that the government had to declare an emergency (but this was fixed less with vaccination/healthcare, and more with improvements to water and sewage infrastructure).

>meanwhile, little Timmy's family has to get several mortgages or even sell their house to cover the expenses for his Leuchemia.

Shit happens, my dad chose sucide over bankrupting his family for useless chemo. They can cry to someone who cares, it's not the government's job to wipe their asshole. This is how natural selection works. The alternative is where every fat fuck in the US can have regular taxpayers pay for their lifestyle.

saddest, cringiest shit I've read all week.

but sorry for your dad.

>it's cringeworthy to not expect a taxpayer to wipe your asshole

the government should promote independence and self-sufficiency and welfare does neither

That self-absorbed delusion is why your continent is being overrun by Islam and the third world.

I'm not sure if this is what Thoreau (a figure I hold in the highest regard and is one of my personal inspirations) meant when he advocated the benefits of minimal government interference, but for some reason this post makes me understand American mentality a lot better.
