Linguistics general

It's high time for a linguistic thread here on Any Forums. I don't think I have ever seen any. Here are some topics to start discussion:

>How many languages do you know?

>What is the difference between language and dialect? (obvious political implications)

>Are there any non-mainstream language family proposals you support, or mainstream ones you don't?

FRENCH SPANISH ENGRISH AND A LITTLE BIT OF GERMAN

>>How many languages do you know?
Quite some, but I need to get more fluent.
>>What is the difference between language and dialect? (obvious political implications)
Codification
>>Are there any non-mainstream language family proposals you support, or mainstream ones you don't?
I suppose drawing clear lines between language families is giving the wrong idea. It's all on a gradient. There are some east german dialects that could be just as well classified as slavic dialects, to name an example.

interesting thread

Nice datamine, I'll bite:
>How many languages do you know?
Two, English and German.
>What is the difference between language and dialect? (obvious political implications)
Any standardized dialect that isn't mutually intelligible at all with other standardized dialects. For this reason I consider Scots and Luxembourish to be a dialects of English and German respectively while most Italian and Chinese "dialects" are better off being defined as unique languages (sometimes are I know)
>Are there any non-mainstream language family proposals you support, or mainstream ones you don't?
I want to see celtic preserved, but if the Irish, Scots and Welsh want to be anglo-niggers so bad then let them. I'm moreso rooting for Euskara now since I think Spanish is an overrated, overly simplistic language.

>How many languages do you know?
Hungarian, English, German
>What is the difference between language and dialect? (obvious political implications)
pic related, as you know we have a shit ton of minorities from different neighbouring countries, they all brought their own words for different things. They have a couple different words (dialect) but the 99% is Hungarian language.
>Are there any non-mainstream language family proposals you support, or mainstream ones you don't?
Non-mainstream: danish sounds alien as fuck
Mainstream: I don't recommend french, it sounds gay, not a phonetic language, and only nigger countries speak it

In Spanish exist: Fue (past), Es (present), and Será (future). But these three words are the same verb that is Ser (no time). You can link a thing in the world with another thing using the verb Ser, for example:
1)Past
Juan fue joven.
John was young.
2)Present
Juan es joven.
John is young.
3)Juan será joven.
John will be young.
As you can see, in Spanish you use only these 3 words to link things in it. And these 3 are just this one: Ser (no time or infinite or out of the world) However, you dont have this word (Ser) in english, you only have the verb "To Be" and this means in Spanish: Ser or Estar (something that is in the world). So, throught your language you can't talk about God using reasoning, because you dont have the verb: Ser. Stop doing PHILOSOPHY in ENGLISH!!!!!!

Interesting. Have you heard about Martin Heidegger?

>How many languages
I am extremely well-versed in both English and English shittalking.

>Language and Dialect
I live in the south, so dialect to me is synonymous with "accent," it's like an artistic flair.

>language families
I think Romanized countries like Italy, France, etc should study Latin in school. The Romance languages.

Ego coepi doctrina Latin

Unironically? Ten. Several are closely related, though. I some others, but not as well as those.
>language and dialect
Army and a navy.

>Are there any non-mainstream language family proposals you support, or mainstream ones you don't?
Not that I can think of off-hand, but "the language acquisition device" is nonsense.

I know* some others
Well I fucked that up kek

>I know ten different languages
Ok I am your queen.

English is fucked up. The only reason it's used worldwide is because it is simple enough for monkeys.

Not at all surprising that almost all of "its" technical and academical vocabulary is actually derived from latin.

Hail esperanto, intermediate in that

Learning gothic as a way to get a really birds eye view on all germanic languages

I have no trouble understanding Norwegian, written or spoken save a word here and there. Danish I can read and Danes understand me fine but I have to ask them to speak more distinct. They're more like dialects of each other than distinct languages. When I went to Vienna, I listened to a conversation between two working-class Wiener. I could hardly understand a word. I'm sure a random Berliner would have had no less trouble. Weanerisch is more like its own language than a dialect.

yeah, but i never studied his books. Also in addition about this , English language has a problem understanding the future time, and this is with the power, because english move you to talk in future with the word: Will, but this is a reduction of the future world to the word "will" as power, however, power is in the world, then is gained with technique.
For example:
1)future
I will be an old man.
Dog Will die.
He Will be great.

However, in Spanish the future can be with I can (will) or with belief/conviction (this one has no word in Spanish), for example:

1)can:
The dog can die.
The dog will die.

2)conviction/belief:
The dog will be big.
The dog ?? big.

As you can see, English does not have this option, only have the world "Will" to talk future, that's why all in English need to be reduced to power with the end to be something in the future. Something that does not happen in Spanish because we can use that both options to talk about somehting in the future

That's pretty rich coming from a brazeeeewian shitskin that speaks a bastardized version of what could already be the most hideous European language that's ever been reverberated. I hear Portuguese, I immediately think of flip flops and brain matter. Picrel; every day in your shithole "country."

fuck google translate kek, here are the examples
1)Puedo:
El perro puede morir.
The dog will die.

2)conviction/belief:
El perro será grande.
The dog ?? big.

The second example has no word in english

>only have the world "Will" to talk future,
I'm going to have to disagree with you there.

THE LANGUAGES OF THE DEAD INJENS IN CALIFORNIA ARE TOO DIFFERENT FOR THE INJEN TO HAVE ONLY BEEN HERE FOR 13,000 YEARS.

MOST OF HISTORY IS PROBABLY A LIE (?)
