Je rigole. S'il vous plaît ne m'excluez pas!

Language cannot be indicative of class status, for if that's the case, many languages can be imperialist. English would then be associated with the British Empire, Russian with Tsarism, and so forth. It's spurious.

It was more a joke than anything. I wouldn't have learned it if I believed it to be an enabler of class struggle.

What are your thought about Esperanto anf other experiments of world constracted languages ?

I think theoretically it's a great idea, but in reality nobody will use it. Probably it would be best to just use english as a international language.

French has had it's time already. Time for everyone to learn Dutch.

You're forgetting Dutch you heathen.

English sucks :<

Other language I like (from the top of my head) are Afrikaans (though I generally count that as Dutch), German (goes without saying), Chinese (it sounds interesting and it's fun writing the three characters I know how to write), Korean (frankly amazing spelling system) and Nahuatl (because it's forking interesting).

Also, I like the way the North Germanic languages use suffixes instead of definite articles.

Oh, and I like Romanian.

And some other languages that aren't Portuguese (Portuguese is absolutely horrendous, I can't believe people think it sounds "sexy").
