Other than anglo languages.
Other languages are more beautiful and not for simpleton, like anglo language.

Besides my own, I can say I really like Basque, Navajo and Quechua

My goal is to learn German and Japanese. When I accomplish that, I'll consider taking on French, Russian, or Navajo.

Chinese and Korean are cool languages too, but not exactly my cup of tea.

I was looking how Albania was called in different languages, and in almost all, except Navajo, it was called a form of Albania. Navajos called us Dziłigaii bikéyah, and then I started checking out and it was a pretty cool language

How does having English as a native language imply lack of intelligence? You cannot choose where you are born or what country you are a citizen of (at birth). Many native English speakers also speak second languages, I speak eng + french and personally prefer the sound of romance languages like French and Romanian

Please don't tell the Japs

Europeans have always tried to dick measure with Americans. They had to learn English to stay relevant to us, so they try to spin it to seem more intelligent.

Bahasa melayu

Can you give me a good example of malaysian? Spoken of course - written malaysian always looks like a mongrel mix of english with austronesian loanwords

Fun fact. In Japanese the long form of the name they call you is ユダヤ人より下等生物 (yudayajinyori katouseibutsu) but they shorten it to Yudayorikatou

Serbian. Compared to other Slavic languages I think the speech is shorter and more powerful if that makes any sense. I feel that when Russians speak it's like they babble all these really long words, in Serbian everything just seems more direct, the pronunciation and speech is very precise.

Are Slavic languages mutually intelligible? Could a Russian speak Russian in Serbia and be understood?

>>77816734
No.

>>77816734
Well I don't know about Polish, Ukrainian, Russian etc but I would imagine it is similar.

So basically a Serbian would have an easier time understanding someone speaking Macedonian or Bulgarian than they would a Russian. I would know too, I had Russian guests at my uncle's hotel and they only spoke Russian. Pretty much I understood nothing they said with the exception of guessing every one or two words based on similar roots in several sentences. Whereas someone speaking Macedonian or Bulgarian would have an easier time conversing with a Serbian than a Russian would. This is because they belong in the Southern Slav subgroup, so their languages are more intelligible to one another. I have actually been looking into the Macedonian language and I find it interesting how it's so similar to Serbian but still different, same with Bulgarian just on a higher level. Just like the Romance languages, the Slavic languages all share some similar roots but you can't speak Italian in Romania and expect them to understand you.

anyway time for me to sleep
