Best Language

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

Best Language

I know how much everyone here loves "Best _____" threads, so here it is:

What's the best language in the world?
Basically, the idea is that you put up as many as 3 nominations and reasons why you chose those languages.

Mine are:
English - No cases or conjugations for nouns, verb endings hardly change
German - Highly logical, rigid sentence structure
Latin - Really boosts logic and reasoning powers, as well as quick memory recall as there are variables to just about everything

Please avoid suggesting because of pronunciation, as that is obviously a matter of opinion, and I sincerely hope people are not nominating a language because it's the only one they can speak!

This is becoming a little too long, on page 3, I made another post to list the languages with only one vote.

From now on, I will only accept English nominations if someone can come up with a grammatical reason.

Current Scores Are:
English - 19
German - 8
Latin - 4
American - 3
Binary - 3
Italian - 3 (temporarily lost in the ether)
French - 2
Klingon - 2
Chinese - 2
Russian - 2
C++ - 2

Hmmm

English - Im english
French - The accent is so funny
Italian - they are funny because of the way they say it

Btw, you can't prevent spam, it's like a cold, it comes in so many forms that there is no prevention

There is no objective truth other than schplurg,
Everything is relative to schplurg

Pukish, a minor dialect of pre-Ottoman Albanian, as spoken in the area around Puke in Northern Albanaia. it dsates back to Roman times and is a remnant of ancient Illyrian. its only soken by the Pukes, who as a rite of passage for adolescent males, spin violently until they are sick, hence our anglo-saxon slang term "to puke, puking"

English for general conversation. Others that have more specific meaning to words, Hebrew, Latin, Greek English is too veried. Blue to discribe a color, and someone feels blue and in speech, the wind BLEW. If learned without being written, it is confusing.

french; simply because you can be very rude to someone just by using the familiar tense (as i frequently do when someone pushes into a queue for a ski lift)

English - it's actually a very confusing, silly language to learn. But it's universal, so there you go.

English #01
German #02
French #9999999999999
French is evil. EVIL!!! How many bloody accents do people need? I also hate it because lots of idiots think it's a cultural language and use it in restuarants.

I'm making record time!

English because it is nearly universal in most of the world and is adaptable enough for nonsense words to still gain meanings.

#1 English, mostly because it's fairly simple to get the basic grasp of it, so its not too hard for foreigners to pick it up. But at higher levels it has so many intricacies that its very difficult to totally master, which to me, provides the depth to the language.

#2 Zulu, I know a tiny amount (I can just about greet someone)but I love the clicking sounds :p
