Sadez Report post Posted March 2, 2005 wow. that's like saying to a chinese person (the two main chinese dialects are mandarin and kantonese, there is a noticeable difference, to chinese people) "you dont speak mandarin, you speak chinese" <_< i speak american, not british. got that? Cantonese and Mandarin are pronounced very different. The spoken communication between a cantonese only speaker and a mandarin only speaker is impossible (or very difficult). Also they have some different written characters. You cant compare this to english and english spoken in US. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And besides that, I wouldn't call old greek the mother of all languages Regards, kl4Uz lol, most languages have some roots in latin/greek :lol: if greek's the mother, latin's the father also, hebrew could be added (not that i can speak it) since orthodox jewish people and very devout christians speak hebrew mainly, as the old testament was written in all hebrew Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soldus Report post Posted March 2, 2005 Actually greek is an offspring of the ancient proto-indogermanic (also called indoeuropean) languages aswell as the romanic languages. You could say greek and latin are brother and sister. Greek would be the older one tho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gen_Axis Report post Posted March 3, 2005 American language is a primitive form of English language. It's degraded (not improved) form created for all those years when europeans (most british) were moving to America... And about Greek... and all those languages that weren't included in this poll - it's only because 'creator' didn't know there is any players from those countrys (and its 'hidden' under 'other') Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
