@ Epyx

Or we could just say that all the European languages are related anyway (well, apart from the Finno-Ugric or Altaic languages) :-)

----------------

I don't see why some people, like sir_inferno, feel the need to get people's backs up anyway. I love languages, they are one of my passions. I love the nuances of each language! Far from wanting to get involved in petty squabbles about which is better, I'd rather just learn more languages. In fact, I should spend more time doing that than posting on here!

I am currently trying to teach myself Dutch and Estonian, I learned Russian at university, French and Latin at school, a very good friend of mine teaches me bits of Lithuanian when we get together in London for a drink (bah, non-alcoholic now of course)  and I can tell you, the impression I get of languages is that they are like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle - the more pieces you have the easier it is to see the picture...  
I like Amigas

@cyberus

Agreed, I share the same feeling about languages. Something that should be embraced not ridiculed.

***NO COMMENT NO QUOTATION ZONE***

i don't ridicule languages, just i don't like it when there are veriations which weren't meant to be there... And when people say they speak english, but they really speak "australian" or "american"

Like if i'm going to spend five years in germany, i'll learn german, but anyway...this topic is now thouroughly dry  :-)

edit: Removed something which was unnecessarily rude. However it wasn't as quoted below - what I said was in Italian
