Swahili

lojban

Scots

Sant, men det borde vara det

>Myself am fond of swedish, simple yet elegant

Latin should be the lingua franca desu

Why would it ever be swedish? Swedish is shit tea bee haytch

Det är sant, bara smaka på de orden jag skriver

A mix of cantonese and danish

Latin is only slightly less dead than Irish

Probably French or German

>German
I'd rather nuke Dresden again

Good lad

I think Swedish sounds horrible.

I think Italian would be a good pick. After all, it's European, quiet easy and is related to pretty much all European languages.

*quite

does swedish have genders for objects?
if so fuck off

French but with phonetic spelling

Bonsyo mussyu, sa va ?

Thcryes byan mersee.


Sy'em la bagett


Sakchrebleuuu

Myself am fond of Japanese, simple yet elegant

La lengua de Cervantes.

Italian should be the world language.
Elegant, best phonetics, doesn't hurt your ears with unpleasant sounds, expressive.
totally unbiased opinion btw

No, it hasn't

""""""""""""""""""""simple""""""""""""""""""""

German, neither simple nor elegant.
The language of Gods and Rulers.

Proofs

pretty much all european languages are related to eachother droeftoeter

yes it does have genders. Common or neuter, en or ett.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_in_Danish_and_Swedish

Mandarin with the Latin alphabet

Would sound horrible without it desu

Why not latin? It's a dead language nobody will be prefered and many speak it.

Tonal languages, including Swedish, as lingua franca would be retarded.

I say Anglo-Saxon / Ænglisc

i'm not sure you want that. i studied latin in high school and declinations are terrible.
A good alternative would be the "latino sine flexione", which is pretty much an artificial and semplified latin that uses prepositions instead of declinations, invented by the italian mathematician Giuseppe Peano

Latin is pretty easy to learn
t. funlan

>What would be a better lingua franca than English?
Literally any other European language tbqh
I'd go with Spanish or Italian since they're the closest to Latin without actually being Latin

Esperato probably given that it wouldn't piss anyone off (other than Anglos for losing their position) and it was specifically designed to be easy to learn

That said, Eglish i probably not going to lose its position as the Lingua Franca any time soon due to the internet, the elite of virtually every country speaking it and the fact that it's the unifiying language of India and most of Africa.

>Spanish
Un and una depending on whether the Word is Male or Female, the language is retarded

>most of Africa.
isn't that french though?

I studied it too in high school, but I'm not sure simplified Latin would take off.
Not that classical Latin would either of course.

*sentence

>latino sine flexione
No fucking way.
Just because all of you Mediterraneans speak your lazy Vulgar Latin doesn't mean we want to relinquish the beauty of declination. A language with just two cases isn't a language and cannot be accepted.

Latin.

you frenchmen and your fucking inferiority complex

MAKE
FRANCE
FRANKISH
AGAIN

artificial languages never take off (see Esperanto).
And classical latin went extinct for a reason: too complicated, open and closed vowels could be confused (venit could mean "he comes" or "he came" depending on the "length" of the "e"), and also many words had the same pronunciation but different meanings ("os" meant "bone" but also "mouth").
i'm studying romance philology so the topic is a current issue for me

>A Kraut complaining about other people's inferiority complexes

Africa was roughly half-French half-british ruled

Nigeria, South Africa (those two alone make up more than half of the GDP of Sub-Saharan Africa), Zimbabwe, Namibia, Malawi, Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda and Botswana all have very high English-speaking populations and use English as the primary language of governance

swedish has genders too

French would.
German would be good too.

I'm quite happy with english though tbqh

fuck declinations, prepositions are so much easier

Not in that pathetic way

I like the sounds of German and Russian 2bh

The present and past of venire are pronounced differently, the past has a long e.

English has lots of homophones, that doesn't mean shit.

Latin because it would be like live action roleplaying

"I speak Spanish to God, Italian to women, French to men, and German to my horse."

exactly in that pathetic way

both swedish and spanish have 2 genders

it's just that someone decided to call the swedish distinction "neuter and common" and the spanish distinction "masculine and feminine"

It's because all the swedish men have been neutered

English is the bastard son of all 4 languages

vowel sounds are not as distinct as consonant sounds, that's why vowel length is non-existent in neolatin languages
for you pic related

DUTCH

Dutch is like English in German

>Dutch is like English in German

What?

Proto indo european language

Esperanto is the only real choice

Most logically thinking it would be german. (at least for europe)
>strongest economic force in Europe
>After Brexit strongest political force in the EU(debatable)
>relatively high amount of speakers (98 million)

Most of European languages have gendered nouns, Sven

Fuck all that shit, German just sounds cool so I agree.

There's no stopping it. It (is and) will be English.

English speakership is growing significantly across the world, while other European languages are becoming less relevant (except Spanish/French through colonial influence). But not even Spanish/French has the effect of making the Chinese/Indians/etc learn the language.

It's already the primary language of international institutions and commerce.

Mandarin isn't really "growing" because chinese populations are falling and few learn it outside of the Chinese. Also, the Chinese are learning English quickly, so there's no need for english speakers to learn Mandarin.

Say a sentence in esperanto so i know how it sounds/looks like

In that case most languages are retarded, and futher proof of is glorious swedish would be as lingua franca

Irish

Begin by actually speaking it in your own country first

...

>Esperanto

It just sounds like a weird Spanish to me

we would if it were the lingua franca
get to it guys, be part of the revival

see
I'm sorry but I don't see how an African language would be a good lingua franca
Irish is pretty, but fuck your spelling honestly

Not him but I've lost count of how many times I have explained the complex nature of Irish language here, we're like Belarus

Not German. It's probably the most disgusting language along with Arabic. Or anything with that back of the throat speaking shit.

Mandarin > English > any language not analytic

You are made of our flesh.
Make Britain Ænglisc again.

Latin is a pain in the ass grammatically speaking, it's not even about the declinations but about the actual grammar rules

Honestly the world should speak Polish because it's super easy to learn and pronounce

If Russian is any indication of how much more difficult Polish would be I am never touching it

Kurwa

>Proceeds to masturbate to people calling your language hard

remove any genderised language.

finnish + malay .:D

Natürlich nur die Feinste Sprache
Deutsch

see, this leaf gets it
oh no you've seen through my clever ruse

Spanish

the spelling makes sense though, don't be jelly

>Natürlich nur die Feinste Sprache
>Feinste Sprache
>Feinste
>Feinste
>Feinste
>Feinste
>Feinste

Spanish, French.

I non-ironically hope that the great Latin people will solve the angloproblem in USA.

Tagalog

I rather prefer Dutch
