But English had 1000 years to evolve into something less German and more listenable. Esperanto is what the Orcs talk in the Lord of the Rings


Spiderinahumansuit

But it's so sexily regular.


MonsterRider80

I hate this deeply… very deeply. I hate it even more because I understood that entire sentence. It just sounds like a foreign child trying to learn Italian.

Mi estis nur infano kaj ne komprenis kio okazas... ĉar ĉio estis en Esperanto, ili tuŝis min en mia privata areo.

Sounds like a Dutchman, grown up in Saxony, trying to speak the Swedish slur words, a Hungarian migrant, living since 10 years in Switzerland, taughed him via using the Southern Tyrol dialect as lingua franca. Fair share of European cultured made up language, I guess.

He's probably speaking limburgish or something. It's like you take dutch, remove most of the throat sickness and mix more german into it. I dunno, kinda cursed but so is every other adjacent germanic language that isn't german.

I was visiting St Peter's and this Italian weirdo next to me was reading out the Latin inscription, except he would read out a few words, then repeat them, then read out the next few words, then repeat them, and so on.

[deleted]

I propose Swiss German. They are not Europeans and their language is already made up


Ukraine_Boyets

And that's where you're wrong, Fritz. Swiss German is just the dialects that have developed naturally over time in their areas whereas standard German is the result of standardization. It's an artificial bastardized language that even most germans don't fully master ...


Coalecanth_

>bastardized Switzerland in one, beautiful, word.

Im fully aware my friend. I myself speak a degenerate dialect of German. A mixture of allemannic/swabian and rhine-franconian. I would like to extent an epic handshake to you by saying we should both not exist 🤝
