  • Hai.
    Can I ask you a question?
    In your signature, you have moving Pokemon. Can you link me to the site that you got them from? Thanks. :3
    Dear lord, it's a casual conversation. :/

    I almost misread your intent there. For a while, your statement sounded like it meant you don't think the Chinese language was forced on the Viets. XD Esperanto...I never understood a reason why it existed. An artificial language is bound to die because of the simple fact that all languages take effort to master and use. In this day and age, no one has the time nor patience to learn a language that has a small chance of growing popular or that is virtually useless (I know I don't). Latin on the other hand, has its uses in modern languages. A literal translation is not possible, but we can try nonetheless. They're still very accurate to a degree, like UN documents.
    That you can't even forgive casual and innocent mistakes by people who mean no harm? Yes.

    Link to Wikipedia? Well that's no good. I think I'll stick to the scientific journals and newspapers.
    I saw it on a t-shirt once. Couldn't resist.

    I had an article around from my Latin teacher that discussed the issue of dying native languages. I'm not in support of new languages being created, however, or at least if it's just manifested immediately and suddenly, and not the result of an evolution of another language. The reason being just that: they're usually not very practical. I'm immensely happy that Vietnamese managed to survive all these millenniums despite Chinese being hard-pressed on the population. Chinese's influence remains and in a rather unwanted way, however; 60% of Vietnamese is Chinese derivatives, and they're noticeable for being much more poetic than true Vietnamese words as well as infinitely more difficult to remember and use in daily speech.

    Do they have sources at least? If I just need intellectual invigoration, I can just hop on to Wikipedia...okay, Wikipedia and start from there. o3o;
    Department of redundancy department.

    They say it's the "language of the internet," and to a certain degree, they're correct. The internet was developed mostly within the English-speaking realm to my knowledge, especially the United States. Not to mention most of the popular websites and computer programs only supported English at one point; international language support is fairly new. It's saddening to see that English and Spanish (plus other popular languages) plowed the world of its indigenous languages, though; so much of human history is buried in the tongues, and they're mostly gone.
    My most favorite? Is that proper grammar?

    My mother tongue is actually Vietnamese. I don't dislike it; however, I'd prefer it if it doesn't have so much Chinese influence in the vocabulary. That's to be expected I guess: they were strong, and we were weak. This is no longer the case, luckily. As for English, I don't hate it nor think of it as anything special. It's very convenient in the modern world (and I live in a country that speaks English) so it's good for me to know. It doesn't have any special quality to make it standout, unfortunately.
    English is unnecessarily complex in my opinion. It would have been better if Latin had survived and is operating as our main language of use. 8)

    /Latin nerd opinion
    I was a bit of a hypocrite about Grammar Nazism, so I just quit correcting other people's grammar. I'll do it if I know I'll get an amusing reaction, though. XD
