>in less than half a century, Arabic completely replaced French as the lingua franca of North Africa >less than 50 years ago, hardly anyone urban in north africa knew arabic, now they all speak arabic fluently as their first language >Arabic increasingly gaining prominence in the sahel belt thanks to religion, tuareg, and the arab league >10% of French people are native Arabic speakers and Arabic is becoming more of a daily occurence in France >this deluded Frogman thinks he can reverse all that and make French the language of the world when most people hate it
nice try of what. as far as i know, they're berber and most of them don't even live in arab countries.

Is there a more horrible language than spoken Arabic?

desu I like French more than *nglish
Julian Powell
Yeah, but to a lesser extent. I also can't pronounce those French Rs.
Colton Reyes
Just for info, all those 10% of French people coming from arabic countries are assholes who barely speak either french and arabic, don't believe they've got any kind of intelligence, or enough to speak two languages, even if they grew up in these.
Parker Anderson
Bonjour, je parle français !
Parker Sanders
I agree, the French have no idea about their real position around the world. They're in for a rude awakening.
Nicholas Mitchell
Why do you care, roodyroo? Look to your own shores. You'll be speaking Mandarin in 50 years.
Jacob Smith
Actually that is the rest of the world that is in for a sweet awakening when we'll overthrow english as lingua franca
Anthony Hill
The Black Dick alone will make French the most spoken language in the world. That's pretty much a given.
Adrian Hughes
written French > spoken french
Jayden Torres
To a greater extent. English speakers can't even agree on how to pronounce their words, while we can thanks to the Académie Française and despite the existence of accents.
Levi Hernandez
Yeah Britain succeeded in its decolonization while France had a horrible one where the Maghreb people promptly did whatever they could to erase the French presence on their soil (much to the pain of countless people but whatever). Of course this was glagly supported by Saudi Arabia and other powerfrul muslim nations, basically their vassals came back crawling to their Arab masters instead of their French ones. But even French were to become first language spoken in terms of people in Africa, the lingua Africa will remain English. The opportunity to make French the international language was lost forever between 1815 and 1940.

Dutch culture is more widely known than French culture. Weed, whores, tulips, windmills, clogs. So it only makes sense to make Dutch the worlds first language.
Pretty much everyone in Northern Africa speaks French except for some Berber tribes living in isolated villages but they don't even speak Arabic. French is the language of instruction in tertiary(except for Islamic theology) and often secondary education in most former colonies.
Ironically French proficiency rates actually went up after decolonization despite some nationalist campaigns due to increasing general literacy rates.
In some urban centers in sub-Saharan Africa like in the Ivory coast and the Congo French has even become the first language of much of the native population.

For these four countries alone (all ranking from regional power to global superpower, and all having extraordinarily close diplomatic and economic relationship with each other AND the UK) where Britons succesfully replaced the indigenes' population by its own, your colonization - and afterwards your decolonization - can be called a success. From the ashes of the British Empire, at the very least, the Anglosphere emerged, and we're not talkiung about irrelevant shitholes here. France never had that, having progressively lost all its possessions in North America, the closest France came to have a strong successful colony was in Africa (Maghreb especially), and, well it didn't turn out very well.
I feel somewhat a bit jealous actually. Portugal has spawned Brazil, a greater and stronger version of itself, which in time will undoubtedly get its shit together and become a solid world power I reckon. Spain has all of Latin America to look up to. But we have nothing, the closest we came to have a colony resemble ourselves was Québec which we lost. All French ex-colonies in Africa are resentful towards France and don't come any close to being relevant.

If the Frenchman wants to see the US as a British accomplishment, I see no reason to deny him.
Juan Ramirez
I don't want to derail the thread. But you have a very sunny view of the UK and an overly pessimistic view of France. Relations with the settler states are not that simple, and we only avoided the war that broke out in Algeria and Indochina by leaving as fast as possible. It could very easily have happened in India for instance. And people from the outside almost always misunderstand US-UK relations, it's almost certainly not how you're thinking.
Eli Powell
I hope he fails

It does but you have to learn all their autistic rules first. Definitely not as easy at first as it is in Spanish or Italian.
