Reminder: French is a bad language

it's the results of purism politics

Yes, exactly, and look at the words themselves: English uses the Classical Latin root while French uses a Vulgar Latin root. And that's the case with a whole array of words, you may look up the charts for the origins of English vocabulary and see that French and Latin words are grouped separately, and not without a reason.

muh russia!!!

I dislike the Russian language and deem it worthy to be studied only by brown incels for sex tourism purposes, dare to address my arguments now?

see that French and Latin words are grouped separately, and not without a reason.

Yeah maybe because French is a mix of vulgar Latin, local Celtic languages, their local dialects and the language of Franks (Germanics)? It still doesn't deny that fact that England was conquered by Guillaume le Conquérant and since that moment English just became the bastardized version of French. Up tp 30% of all English vocabulary was derived from French

5 countries in the top 15 of african gdp are french former colonies

French is a mix of vulgar Latin, local Celtic languages, their local dialects and the language of Franks

Exactly. And English makes this mess way more orderly by introducing pure classical roots instead of that mish-mash used in French.

since that moment

Not at all. It's true that French was dominant in the court for about 300 years, but it was fairly separated from English and its impact on English is overstated. For example, the declension and conjugation systems were lost independently of the French influence.

30% of all English vocabulary

And another 30% were derived *directly* from Classical Latin, the conservative influence French completely lacks.

was derived from French

Yes, and these words retained more archaic and conservative pronunciation in English compared to modern Parisian French. So, again, it's French that's being bastardised and mispronounced there compared to English.

1) North Africa culturally belongs to the Middle East and not the Sub-Saharan Africa, sorry if I didn't clarify this. They all speak primarily Arabic and not French there, if you like them, you learn Arabic.
2) GDP is a meaningless metric.
3) the best African countries to live in etc. are Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa (also Uganda, Tanzania, and Namibia) and all of these are English-speaking.

Who tf cares about Latin? French has more ties to Latin than English anyway. We're talking about English and French, not about Latin and French. French is just a more beautiful, earpleasing language than English, that's it. And French culture is just way more interesting than English

GDP is a meaningless metric

Kek

the best African countries to live in etc. are Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa (also Uganda, Tanzania, and Namibia) and all of these are English-speaking

Not Gabon, côte d'Ivoire, Sénégal ?

No that's why your country is full of Senegalese people

No, go to Anon Babble and ask there. Kenya is the best, the rest I named are good too. No French-speaking country would be in the list because they're too poor and violent.

Who tf cares about Latin

So you just outed yourself as a pseud tranny faggot. Get drafted or ack yourself please.

French culture

OP pic.

So you just outed yourself as a pseud tranny faggot

I'm sure that you don't have a philological/medical/philosophical degree to actually know Latin and all your knowledge is limited to Youtube essays and articles on Wiki

OK for Kenya and Tanzania, the rest is shit

south africa

It's build by white people, we speak about africans country only

I do have a medical degree and I additionally studied it outside of uni as well. Not that it has any relation to the discussion though.

I additionally studied it outside of uni as well

I really doubt that you can freely speak it. Most people on medical facultes don't really study it as hard as the philosophs and linguists

Whom are you going to speak Latin with? I can read it, even though I forgot a lot of it because I thought reading original manuscripts doesn't worth it for me.

the rest is shit

I believe you, but still the two only nice countries there are English-speaking.

build by white people

Yes I condemn its government for genociding the boers, I just put it there to add weight, sorry. I'd never go there personally.

Whom are you going to speak Latin with?

I didn't mean it literally, still the phonetical beauty of a language is an important feature

I can read it, even though I forgot a lot of it

It's not that hard to read it. You have to be able to speak and to write it perfectly. And after you accomplish it you can brag about somebody being a larper

after you accomplish it you can brag about somebody being a larper

What relation does it have to anything? We were arguing about whether English retained more archaic Romance features, and having a huge chunk of its vocabulary imported directly from the literary language is a big deal, yet your answer was 'Latin doesn't matter or something' (and no person valuing the classics which is the only reason to learn French nowadays would say that).

still the phonetical beauty of a language is an important feature

I spent a lot of time debating about the pronunciation rules and I ended up using the Italian pronunciation. This is the tradition that was used for more than a thousand years.

You say that I'm a larper but you are a larper yourself without a proper knowing of Latin to brag about it and labling others as larpers. Problems with comprehension?

Stop seething tranny. You lost the argument. English is more conservative than French, now go ack yourself.

English just can't be conservative while being the least conservative IE language. It lost all its conjugations and cases, it's literally the Frankenstein of languages with Germanic core and sewn parts. Also, you're the tranny here. I'm not an autist like you who spends all his time on here

Hebrew is FUCKING useless to learn. There's zero economic value you'll get from it. The only Israelis worth talking to already know English.

They won't say anything useful to a GOY like you though.

niggerbabble

Read again retard:

English uses more archaic pronunciations and forms of Latin words. See 'computer' and whatever hell there's now in French, also how /ch/ or /tion/ is pronounced in Romance words etc. etc.

Both the pronunciation of Old French and Norman French words is more archaic in English than in modern metropolitan French, and the vocabulary of English retains way more archaic classical Latin words and French does. French is mispronounced English. Get over it tranny.

not an autist like you who spends all his time on here

So you're the tranny. Begone now.

GDP is mostly due to population size, now do GDP per capita

GDP is totally useless. What matters is the median net wage.

Nigga get sex and touch some grass

French also has fucked up grammar, Italian is so much better.

Sorry tranny I'm not fucking you even if you're cute, get medication first.

Spanish and Portuguese are superior to both though.

You're kinda obsessed with the trans folk. Are you a closet trans or something? Is that because you're a lonely ugly loser who spends all his free time online? Get a life retard

literal trannyspeak projection

@grok will this person ever be a woman?

I bet women are scared of you because of your greasy hair and your stench lmao

They indeed are, but you shouldn't be, because You Will Never Be A Woman.

They indeed are

No need to state an obvious fact retardinha. YNBAW btw

They're kinda ugly and boring. Portuguese is only worth learning for porn and Spanish... Why would you learn the language of the third world?

kinda ugly

I disagree. Castilian sounds like Greek and Portuguese is a lot like Old French.

learn the language of the third world

To resort there. South America seems quite an underrated place to retire and visit for vacations. Also, Italy is third world compared to countries like Denmark and Switzerland as well.

Old Frankish was a Germanic language that was mutually intelligible with Old English. Big L for the so-called 'French' every time they talk about language purity lol

drop it and learn Hebrew

Bump.

Old Frankish was a Germanic language that was mutually intelligible with Old English. Big L for the so-called 'French' every time they talk about language purity lol

Latin/French words in your sentence: language, mutually, intelligible, time, purity
40% of english is latin simple as

Have you read the rest of the thread retard? Here's a huge ass difference between Latin and French.

(YOU)

Have you read the rest of the thread retard? Here's a huge ass difference between Latin and French.

rest, retard, difference are all latin/french, débile

Not a thing you faggot. French is a mutilated germanised vulgar serfspeak, Latin is Latin.

why do you keep talking french to me?

Not a thing you faggot. French is a mutilated germanised vulgar serfspeak, Latin is Latin.

mutilated, vulgar, serf

1 out of 3 ain't bad i guess

See

mutilé, vulgaire, serf (paysan) please explain yourself leaf

Mutilated and vulgar are borrowed directly from Latin.
Serf is indeed a borrowing from Old French

we own your asses this is not about borrowing

Cope. Walloons are the gypsies of Europe btw.
