What is the language of the elite in your country?

Here in Ireland, English is seen as too common, Irish as too rural. Hence for the elite, focused around a small area of Dublin around Trinity College, the Freemason Lodge and the Government buildings, national museums and libraries the main language you will hear spoken is French

I've been to every museum in Dublin and did not hear a single french word. Even in the modern art one

Charles De Gaulle once remarked to Éamon de Valera "It's like I'm still in France! Vive le France! Vive l'Irland! Vive l'Irland Nord libre!" Upon arriving at the Alliance Francaise in Dublin, as he spoke at the annual conference of Irish Freemasons (conférence des francs-maçons irlandais). He later described Ireland as "One of the proudest francophone nations in the world".

French I guess, but I don't thnik there's any nowadays since there's no elite

Swedish with an upper class accent. Older people uses German as the 'elite language' mostly, a few uses French, since our king is French.

>>78523027
English, it is the only foreign language that a considerable of Vietnamese learn.

How is he an asshole? He went to a strip club some years ago but other than that I've never heard anyone calling him an asshole.

Gulf Arabic.
Other than that any European language that isn't English or French.

Japanese have words only for elites use. It's called "keigo", and it is not dialect or something. For example, normally we use "desu" in last word but elites use "degozaimasu". I think foreigners who learn Japanese are not taught about it because we all know foreigners can't be elite here.

He's just king of a silly guy, nothing really wrong with him. The founder of his dynasty was one of the better kings we'd had in a while.

>>78523027
Russian. We aren't cucked.

>>78523543
kind* of a silly guy.

>>78523027
Dutch and German. I don't think our king and his family member, the Grand duke of Luxembourg, speak Luxembourgish or Dutch to each other when they meet each other and our king had a German father.

in belgium it's french as well. even though the flemish are a majority, french is the language of the elite here, and when a walloon speaks with a flemish, they do it in french (flemish speak french, but walloons don't speak flemish)

>>78523027
English in the broader sense, other older, more powerful families use Spanish and/or Chinese.
