See, people keep saying English is a bad language and whatnot.
But motherfuckers haven't gone ahead and actually made Esperanto viable, nor ascended Finnish or Mandarin or Hungarian to the throne of Lingua Franca, and apparently not for lack of reason.

King of slang baby. I may not have a feminine of wizard, but what other language has brunch?
>>
>>51416056
>Mandarin
>Implying not lingua franca
Son, I've travelled half of Asia knowing two languages: Mandarin and, surprise, surprise, bits of French. There is a fuck-huge difference between "this language is useful in the internet and in western world" vs "this language is lingua franca".

And it's really freaky when you suddenly start feeling like home and less lost, because you've spotted a sign written in simplified Chinese.
>>
>>51416096
Did you just said there is language with more vivid word-making than Polish? It's entirely possible to translate brunch and all English terms into Polish precisely because that...
... and utterly impossible to translate Polish literature to English if the autor was imaginative with words, for the very same reasons.
>>
>>51416105
English is the de-facto Lingua Franca of Earth because it is spoken fluently by around 1/3 of the planet's population, Mandarin is one of two chinese languages, which means maybe 500,000,000 people at most, and I am under the impression Cantonese is more supported by the Chinese government.
>>
>>51416931
>I don't even understand what Mandarin is: The Post
>I also have no idea how basic education in China works: The Appendix
Seriously, there is stupid shit in the net and then there are posts like yours.
>>
>>51416931
>Two Chinese languages
Try 40

And "standarised Chinese", aka Mandarid, is used by 90% of continental Chinese, meaning roughtly 1.4 billion people.
>>
>>51417094
Then explain it,
>>51417166
thank you, but that's still less than 1/3 of roughly 8 billion people.
>>
>>51416931
First of all, it's lingua franca. Second, it's lingua franca of western world, and not even close to being universal. Useful, sure, but definitely not a sure-fire. Third, there is not a single language that can claim being lingua franca of the world, because no language is widespread or popular enough to guarantee efficient communication world-wide.
Like one of the anons pointed already - language of the internet is probably the best way to describe it
>>
>>51417166
>>51416931
>>51416105

It's not just pure numbers who speak it as a first language though, it's also how those people are distributed.

Mandarin has a huge number of people speaking it, but they're also concentrated primarily to a single continent- A fucking huge area, but not global.

English, while having less people speaking it as a first language, is fucking everywhere, and is a very common second language. It's something I see quite a lot in Europe. If a Pole wants to speak to a Frenchman, they'll often do so in English.
>>

Sorry that I capitalized lingua franca.
>>51417237
That was kind of my point, lol, I just didn't explain it well.
>>
>>51417203
>Explain me linguistics in 2k sign limit
It's not working like that and you know it

Son, Chinese language is not some sort bizzare family of unrelated languages. Assuming we only take into account continental version and skip Taiwan (it has more to do with written version than anything else), it's perfectly possible to communicate with "Mandarin" all over China, aside few fringe areas, like Xinjiang. One of the goals of the Communist Party of China, like every communist party in the world, was education of the masses, because it's easier to adress propaganda to people who can read it. That means education spread all over the country, with the goal of making the language accessable to everyone. For the same reason simplified characters were invented, as they (theoretically) make Chinese written language easier to handle.
But back to the talked version - when you have centralised, standarised and monitored education that does nothing else but burry the divisions between people within a single country AND actively prosecute other languages than the "main" one and a situation like that going for few GENERATIONS, you end up with a country when only old and rural and/or well-isolated areas are not using the same language.
Besides, skipping all this - the difference of "Mandarin" and "Cantonese" is almost entirely based on accent. But in the core it's the same fucking language. To put that into perspective - we are comparing drunken Glaswegian with Afrikaner speaking English and judged by bunch of English-speaking Russians.

>>51417237
I never made claim that Chinese is most used language (even if it is) nor implied its some sort of international language (even if it works really well as lingua franca in South-East Asia), so I'm not sure what are you trying to do here, aside smugly posting how American English won the world.
>English is fucking everywhere
Visit Asia.
Or Africa.
Or Latin America, for that matter.
Hell, visit Eastern Europe.
>>
>>51416931

Mandarin is the language that all governmental and professional work is done in China, and it's the language that children are taught in schools.

Cantonese is a dialect/language that is only spoken in the Guangdong/Canton region of China, where Hong Kong is located.

You are literally and objectively wrong.
>>
>>51416931
>500,000,000 people at most
What happend with remaining billion of Chinese then? Did they die?

>>51417398

English is the global language of media. Anywhere with any degree of infrastructure will be receiving western media and building an implicit understanding of English. They might not be good at it, but the basic level of understanding that comes from euroamerican cultural dominance is nothing to be sniffed at.

>>51417529

>>51417559
Which part of "English is the language of the internet" you didn't get the first time that you literally reworded it and post it back at me?

Do you even understand what lingua franca means in practical terms, or you just assume what it is, rather than knowing?

Ever heard about swahili language? That's probably the most textbook example of what lingua franca is.
>>
>>51417616

A common tongue for people who speak different primary languages. Which is a role English serves all over the fucking world.

Hell, even in China a lot of internal business notation and scientific writing is done in English. The formal writeups and presentations later might not be, but from what I've heard even simplified Chinese fucking sucks for trying to write lab notes.
>>
>>51417673
Then again, vistit Asia, Africa and Latin America.
Then tell me about "people all over the world".

>even in China a lot of internal business notation and scientific writing is done in English
And now you are just pulling things from your ass. I've spent there 3 years. You know what foreign language was the most useful out there? Russian. And only in north border areas.

>I've heard
You've heard wrong. That shit was disapproved in fucking 40s, being nothing more than retarded, 19th century notion of "we are white and we are supperior, because reasons". Seriously, how fucking out of touch with reality are you?

>>
>>51417673
So you don't only know shit about languages in general, but also Chinese in particular, nice to know.

For the sake of your education: simplified Chinese referrs to the fact the characters are of much simplier design. Link instead pic, because image limit reached.

Or by "Chinese" you mean first generation of Chinese-Americans, who arrived to your country as kids?
>>
>>51417876

Guess again. International university. Which is also where I gained the understanding of English as a global language. I might not have been to those places, but I have friends from all of them, and alongside whatever courses they're doing literally all of them have talked about how useful English is, both for talking to each other and for taking back home.
>>
>>51417833
And I've heard you are retarded, but does it makes you retarded for real?
Of course it does
>>
>>51417923
>I never been in that place I'm talking about, but based on my knowledge gained in completely different place and situation, I will make a preposition based on experiences that don't match the different situation in the slightest.
Fuck man, you are really fucking stupid for someone who apparently has higher education.

Here is the deal:
You've had contact with students. Doesn't matter what language we are talking about or what country they were from. They were students. That by default means you had contact with highly educated people who had enough knowledge and language skills to attend foreign university. You can't just assume they are random, representative group of people showing how things work back home. It just means people with enough qualification to attend that university.
Technically speaking, I could tell you, using your logic, that Polish is lingua franca. After all, exchange students attending classes in internation Jagiellonian University are obligated to take certain classes in Polish, and it's their problem if they don't understand. So by your trail of logic, since all the foreigners attending had at least basic grasp of Polish, that means everyone in their home countries understands it too and surely, it will be possible to talk with locals using it.

In short - you are using logical lapses so fucking huge it's painful to read.
>>
>>51408182
are these even girls
>>
>>51418001
Believe me, I've seen worse. Those are definitely girls, or rather single girl in different clothes, since this was literally done for a dress-me-up game
>>
>>51417923
So let me get this straight:
You never have been abroad, but in the same time, you have 100% confidence, that English is global lingua franca and it will be useful whenever you will go?
>>
>>51417673
I take notes in whatever language they were given to me, because this way I've got the stuff that was given and then I can translate it the moment I want to translate it, rather than being stuck with hastly done on-spot translation

If you or people who you met are not doing that, they are either already bilingual, or simply overconfident with their language skills.
>>
You guys know you can just have a woman be a wizard and the world keeps on turning, right?
>>
>>51417992

Yeah, no.

I'm not making an assumption based on talking to these people. I am repeating what they literally told me.

And you know what? Sure, they might be wrong. They might be from more affluent areas or atypical, or whatever. But I'm going to trust people I actually know who, you know, actually come from there over some random fucker on the internet.
