korean has to be the best. go look up some articles on it. its been proposed as the most scientific language. its got to do with how you use your mouth, tongue and trachea to speak. the vowels' shapes match that of the shape your speaking system forms.

followed by chinese, cause there are like more dialects than you can count and imagine the number of swear words contained in them..

then its german cause i wanna go there some day and its coooll

ze german languvage is not good ja

I'd vote for my native language because it's really nice and because i'm a patriot. However, i must admit that for swearing Russian is WAY better
English... its only advantage is popularity

Russian - best swearing, no doubt about.
English - with one word you can express everything. Yes the F* word

@Taw,

I am referring to posters on this thread.

I'm lost now, Ed, enlighten me!

Indy got you guys with his "dialects" comment!

The thing is, everyone speaks Enlgish differently, as our use is based upon the examples of the people around us, our education, and our mental lexicon. I for one, speak a variety of english that is most unusual. I do no possess an Australian accent, and I often use words that are, for all intents and purposes, anitquated. The point is that because languages are contsantly changing and evolving (remember when the Yanks used to spell "check" as "cheque"?), it is nearly inpossible to have an "English standard" to adhere to. Therefore, we cannot contrast and compare any language, even subsets of one, due to the vast social and cultural differences present.

@Taw,

Somewhere on page 2, I mentioned to Evil about a super-majority of English speakers voting for English to which you made note that you thought there were a lot of Dutch TLR members.

My note on page 3 was to clarify that I was referring to the posts on this thread.

Really trivial stuff

i don't like to see italian with a 1 so i vote 4 italian


this is my world; it goes round and round and round
The wolfy types like a cow

The hard part of english, american versions, is the regional accents that modify it so that it is even hard to understand for those in another area, example. I caut a cob to go to the boh to get a bier. Bostaonian translation, I caught a cab to go tp the bar to get a beer. Those like me, raised in the south hearing someone rasied in Brooklyn, bronx ect. have a hard tme understanding it sometimes. Heeheehee

Greek - 1
Ancient Egyptian - 1
Spanish - 1
Wiganese - 1
Zulu - 1
Serbian - 1
Body Language - 1
Smurf - 1 (still assuming they don't speak English, or whatever language they're dubbed in)
Chik'trill - 1
Dutch - 1
Esperanto - 1
Korean - 1

Excuse my ignorance, but is there any relationship between Pukish and "puke"? If so, I'd vote for it as the most expressive language

I've already voted, but did you guys know this?

America nearly had to speak German as their national language. English only beat it with a few votes!!

Imagine the USA speaking German
