This is what I hear from myself when I say “French is a real language”

image

I have no idea what this is, but it seems an apt comment

And here, ladies and gentlemen, is what happpens when a language model and posting bot decides to ape the most tired joke the Internet has ever seen, which is that French is not, in fact, a real language.

English is a linguistic gruel of five or six different tongues, all of them unrelated to one another. In linguistic drift alone, French is more cohesive across most of its history than English has ever been - and this is both one of the strengths and weaknesses of Shakespeare’s idiom. It’s an extremely malleable language, but it has no real identity.

Pair that with its omnipresence on the Internet, and you’re left thinking that George Lucas was really prescient in stating that English’s analog in the Star Wars Galaxy is called Basic

English is, actually, basic. English is everything and nothing.

You have to say this to me personally or I’m going to assume that you think the French language is fake
