Favorite Language

[theBruiser500]

What is your favorite language? I don't have a lot of experience with languages but I have noticed some things. It seems like in English people talk slower than in other languages, also with less tone inflection and less hand gestures. English doesn't sound as cool as Chinese does to me, I like listening to Chinese people yell. Also when I have seen Italian on TV they get really energetic. I took Spanish in high school, it's okay. German sounds too deep and loud and abrasive to me.

Are these differences in languages that I mentioned imagined or real? What is your favorite language?

Latin.

sounds like you're saying something profound even when you're talking about taking a dump.

So I've been listening to some cheesy romanian techno and I'll tell you, that romanian sounds like a pretty damn good language. That said it's supposedly the closest living relative of latin.

I like German. It's the loudness and seriousness that makes it funny.

But they get a lot more energetic and LOUDER when talking to non-English speakers!

My experience has been that English speakers treat non-English speakers as, at best, deaf, or, at worse, retards.
