Portuguese and Italian, sometimes I can understand a little bit of both.

english is a special snowflake language, totally unique

>>66884914

>>66884930
Yeah I guess

>>66884928
Actually Frisian is the closest to English.

>>66884880

Occitan

t. Catalan

Norwegian then German.

Spanish is vulgarized French basicaly

>>66884950
>frisian
not a real language

just like any language that isn't english

Iranian

Spanish

>>66884958

In fact, one could say that Catalan is one of the "dialects" of the Occitan "macro-language" (since other varieties like lengadocian or gascon are also different from each other)

>>66884880
Neither desu

Scots

Dutch
Swiss German

I can probably understand more Dutch than Swiss German though

Scottish I guess.
Or Frisian if we're going with real languages

>>66885008

Slovak and Sorbian are objectively the closest ones but we don't interact that much

Latin shares a lot of words with Greek but they're unrelated languages. The reason English has a lot of French words is English conquerers needed to communicate with their French subjects.

Not much information+it's extinct

Dialect that some unironically consider a separate language is Scots. Closest Actual language would be Frisian, and closest non-meme language would be Dutch. In any case we are a language with many cousins but no brothers, and not even Frisian and English are as close to each other as the Nordic languages are to one another.

>>66892063
No joke, I was bartending the other night and this drunk Scotsman kept trying to repeat his order, it got to like the 10th or 15th time and I still couldn't make out more than a word or two of his jumbled rambling.

From non-meme languages, Arabic

Scots was considered a separate language before 1707, and it still has some truth to it. And wow.

>>66892308
I'm generally pretty good at identifying and understanding accents/dialects, I have a passion for learning languages, but this guy was too much. Eventually I just poured him a pint and told him it was his last drink.

Kajkavian Croatian I guess

Galician

>>66891913
That's just one of the dialects of ancient Greek.
If we are including ancient/extinct languages, then Phrygian was the closest one with its similarities to Greek being recognized by the ancient Greeks.

>>66891863
If you mean just the "sounding", then it is Italian and Spanish. I have many times heard Italian and Spanish tourists speaking from a distance and I was mistakenly thinking that they were speaking Greek.

>>66894187
Japanese is phonetically unique

>>66894322
Doesn't mean it doesn't have similarities with other languages

>>66894136
I guess so. The thing is, written Greek was always in some artificial form trying to resemble Attic (classical Athens) up until the recent couple of centuries and the actually spoken vernacular is poorly attested. Also, the Byzantine era is like 1000 years so it was no the same in all of its time.
I personally have read some Byzantine texts like "De Administrando Imperio" of Emperor Constantine Porphyrogennetos and I could understand essentially everything he was writting and I think the average person would understand what he said.
The few texts that are in actual vernacular (e.g. the Digenes Akritas poems) from the Byzantine period are very easy to understand; it is essentially a dialect of modern.

>>66894285
He is right, they share this phonetical system: consonant-vowel-consonent-vowel... etc. (Hawaii, kawai, sayonara, kamehameha etc.)

>>66884977
>Norwegian then German
This is just plain false, you are far closer to us than to German.

>>66894424
Danish Norwegian and Swedish are all dialects of one language, why don't you put aside your differences and form one country that might actually be somewhat relevant (but probably not)?

In Dante's The Divine Comedy, Arnaut Daniel appears as a character doing penance in Purgatory for lust. He responds in Old Occitan to the narrator's question about who he is:

«Tan m'abellis vostre cortes deman,
qu'ieu no me puesc ni voill a vos cobrire.
Ieu sui Arnaut, que plor e vau cantan;
consiros vei la passada folor,
e vei jausen lo joi qu'esper, denan.
Ara vos prec, per aquella valor
que vos guida al som de l'escalina,
sovenha vos a temps de ma dolor»

So what ?
How 2 languages might be "close" if it is completely impossible for two speakers to understand each other ? English is much closer to dutch or german, this is why it is so easy for them to learn english.
On the other hand, french and english are so distinctive (pronunciation, construction of sentences, grammar etc...) that it is a hell to learn each other's language.
