Hey /lit/, just what is English? Most creative/interesting

English /ˈJŋɡlJʃ/ (About this sound listen) is a West Germanic language that was first spoken in early medieval England and is now a global lingua franca.[4][5] Named after the Angles, one of the Germanic tribes that migrated to England, it ultimately derives its name from the Anglia (Angeln) peninsula in the Baltic Sea. It is closely related to the Frisian languages, but its vocabulary has been significantly influenced by other Germanic languages particularly Norse (a North Germanic language), as well as by Latin and Romance languages, particularly French.[6]

Sup, cunts. What is the best spoken language of all time, and why is it English?

English is the perfect language, in its structure, understandability, adaptiveness, it is truly the one language that god intended for his children to speak.

First of all, it clearly sounds the best. It sounds like perfect creamy buttery almonds to the ear drums, unlike arabic, which sounds like an autistic badger dying, or german which sounds like a 6 billion blue collar manual laborers fixing 6 trillion ovens. Let's of course not forget about french, which sounds like a macrocephalic child with a sinus infection trying to talk backward.

Let's talk about its many MANY features that place it on top for the best language of all time.

First, portmanteaus. Does any language besides English do this? No fucking way in hell. Check it out - Infomercial, which the dirty french fucking stole this straight from the English dictionary by the way. Jackalope. Frappuccino. Tangelo. Breathalyzer. Paratrooper. Need I continue?

Next up, acronyms - and I mean actual acronyms, not initialisms. Examples include SCUBA, RADAR, LASER, Interpol.

Then we have the tmesis. This is when you stick one word right inside a-whole-nother word. It's in-fucking-credible. Try doing this shit with your gibberish fucking japanese startrek memerunes, or heebjew (which anne frankly is embarrassingly incomplete as a language, and naturally sounds like a pig being force-fed bagels.)

A very important feature of English is the dynamic usage of prefixes and suffixes. No other language in use to this day employs these. Let's see some examples: "This shade is slightly green[ish]", "you had best [un]fuck yourself", "That is the cunti[est] shit I've ever heard", "You fucking norm[ie], get the fuck away from my tend[ies]" (This one was a clever combination of portmanteau and dynamic prefixes)

Adaptability. English is the easiest language to use when it comes to adapting to changes, or incorporating new terms, be it contextually or as a major change to the entire language. One of the most famous is "nigger". Know where that came from? Say some guy has a very specific situation where he feels the need to invent or "coin" a term. Perfectly okay. He and his colleagues can then use that term clearly and fluidly in conversation with no misunderstandings. Let's see you try that shit in russian, you'd have to encode that shit into your ancient archaic goblin alphabet, then teach yourself how to pronounce it for 10 hours straight, then have your colleagues teach themselves to say it, and what it means. What a waste of time.
One of the most perfect examples of amazing adaptability of a spoken language is one single word - "fuck". I think you've seen the video or infographic (<--portmanteau) explaining the many numerous use cases for the word "fuck" and it's many appropriate contexts, even in spite of it not even being a homonym, it's actually just that good.

Understandability. This is when you understand the meaning and context of a word even if it's rittled with typos. Even if a sentence is missing many of its letters. I bt ths sntnc is stll ndrstndbl. Supporting example? хлeб. That means "bread" in russian. When pronounced, however, it sounds like it could literally mean "shit"

Perfect structure. How can any other language compete? The use of such a perfectly structured language, with its clever use of punctuation to get the point across so efficiently can simply not be matched.

A more humbling example of the superiority of the English language is the expansiveness of the tone and formality you are free to use when coming up with a sentence. You can be a rude cunt (ay grrl gimme sum pu$$) or sound proper and scholarly - "Salutations, my dear. Would you like to engage in sexual intercourse?" While saying the exact same thing. Only with English.

Let's talk about music and poetry. Singing is a pretty neat concept, but only if it's done correctly. If you're going to try to rhyme, the words that rhyme have to make sense. This is why all foreign translations of originally English songs that use rhymes all either sound like shit, or have been so butchered, they lost all meaning. Secondly, let's go back to my first point. It has to sound good. Listen to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ay5OOxRTTE It's literally durka durka. It sounds like it belongs in the fucking loo.

Imagery. English is the most powerful tool you can use when trying to convey emotion or invoke your reader's senses with imagery. Words that when put together in just the right way can actually bring you to the very setting using only your imagination.

One of the most important reasons - Popularity. Thanks to many of the reasons stated, English is and will be far into the future, the most popular, efficient, useful, pragmatic, and beautiful languages ever spoken.
