What is your favourite language and why?
Don't rush! Consider the way it sounds, its historical and cultural associations, how it benefits you, how it makes you feel...
I've tried to include as many of the biggest and 'most important' languages in the world, but I apologise if I've missed any. Mention them in the comments below!
I picked Sign Language. Well I know American Sign Language I should say. I just find the language very interesting and I had taken a couple classes in the past and the stories with it are intersting also. We were required to stay the night at a Deaf school too. And never say they are deaf, they are Deaf and they don't have disabilities they just can't hear.
I need to practice it and re-teach myself some signs I've forgotten over the years. How they sign is pretty cool too; where they put their verbs, nouns and subjects in the sentences.
I need to spend some time learning British Sign Language. I learnt a little several years ago and I enjoyed it. There is something fun about being able to express words and sentences through body language alone - like a more coherent, structured form of charades :) It's a shame there would be so few opportunities for me to practice it with someone.
Yes I have to agree.
Something about it I just love it. I remember after I had taken the classes it took a little while before I had stopped signing while I would talk to people. lol.
But you can always just check online websites if you want to learn more. Although a lot of times they have different signs for certain words but still they have some really good websites that have tests and quizzes too. But there should always be a time to practice it with someone too. :) Others need to find it more interesting too.
Afrikaans is awsome^^ i like it because it origenates from 17th century Duch but it's mixed with Portuguese,French,English, Malay, and many native african languages. if you speak only english it may be a bit difficult to understand some one speking it but you can quite easily understand written Afrikaans. thats why i like it, it's a language that any indoeuropean speaking person can easily learn. btw I can speak english,italian fluently then I can speak a bit of spanish,japanese and Afrikaans.
I love languages and honestly find it too difficult to opt for one of them alone. I like the idea of a pacific Tower of Babel, where you hear so many different sounds, melodies, structures, but *have to* communicate - as frustrating as it may be, it's such fun to try and do it in a language you've just been introduced to!
DISCLAIMER: If, by any chance, I am creating divisions in fucking society for referencing a biblical story it most certainly is because I fucking want to. Please, pardon my French.
C'est juste nous autre les quebecois. Des fois, j'ai un peut honte que la plupart du monde parle comme ca, haha. Je pense le plus pire c'est ceux qui vit en gaspesie et d'autre places comme sa. Leur accent avec les mots qu'ils on creer, c'est vraiment dégueulasse je trouve.
T'es pas quebecois si tu ne dit pas: "Esti, criss, caliss ou tabarnak!" :P (Meme le monde qui parle anglais le disent, haha)
Umm, I didn't grow up with it. I'm Belgian.
the only languages I know are English, Dutch, French, German, Latin and Italian. Judging by the ones I know, I think The English language has the easiest grammar by far.
There are probably some easier languages out there (such as Esperanto), but from this list, English is definitely my first choice. Furthermore, there are little languages with such a wide vocabulary.
I love Japanese and English, if only because I speak them. Otherwise, Portuguese, Russian, French, and Arabic are all beautiful among others.
It's just Dutch that sounds terrible, really. Sounds like a guy drowning.

Latin because it the root for so many languages. including five of the languages mentioned on your list. And its the ground language used for most areas of science. historically Latin was the language used by many great worries such as the roman's and Greek, during the B.C's it was commonly used to communicate through different empires and through out Europe and the middle east. And in my opinion most people with Latin roots are sexy ;)
