There are two things in the world I can’t stand: people who are intolerant of other people’s cultures… and the Dutch.
Real!

It’s funnier with French because no one hates the Dutch language more than the Dutch, but France thinks everything it does is the best.

French people are busy hating on themselves. I’ve heard about French people hating on people from Paris so since Ive ment French people during my exchange/foreign semester I tried asking them if they really hate people from Paris and they confirmed it for me. All non Paris French people hate on Paris French people lol
NaoPb@eviltoast.org 1 year ago
This sounds similar to most dutch people silently hating people from Amsterdam.

mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I liken this to people’s irritation with NYC-philes - the ones who think the universe revolves around NYC, to the point when even on the west coast, they refer to it as ‘The City’. And so much of Paris is radically more inwardly-celebrating-cosmopolitan, diverse yet oddly ~~intolerant ~~ uptight? - than the smaller cities much less the countryside, I think I can grok their irritation.
Having only visited twice in my youth, certainly no expert.

Paris and the rest of France are two different countries that are racist towards the other.
seliaste@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
I wouldn’t say french is the best language by any means. I think that while it has a pretty extensive vocabulary it is quite inefficient and conservative by nature
Honytawk@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
The reason it has an extensive vocab is because the french are purists who need to invent their own version of every new word in existence, instead of just loaning words from other languages like every other language does.
An example of this is “computer”. Every other language uses that term, except for fucking french who call it an “ordinateur”

Right, what’s ‘Dutch’?
odium@programming.dev 1 year ago
Deutsch is the German word for German. I think they just made a typo and put the wrong flag or smth.
Sir_Fridge@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I mean only in English is the term Dutch used for the Netherlands. It’s a really old thing from around the 1500’s that stuck around.
Also that’s the flag of Luxembourg.

Real answer: these are actually real languages! They're just conlangs, or constructed languages, instead of natural languages. The major problem with conlangs generally ends up being the limited vocabulary, but the grammar foundations are usually solid.
I actually really like Klingon as a language because it was intentionally designed to be alien, and specifically to be very Klingon. Most languages are Subject-Verb-Object (like English and other Western languages) or Subject-Object-Verb (like Japanese or Hindi). Klingon, however, is Object-Verb-Subject - it's very direct with the emphasis placed on the target of the sentence, which makes sense with the Star Trek world and Klingon culture.
Fun fact, Klingon has at least one native speaker - some guy raised his daughter to speak Klingon as well as English. (I'm not a fan of this - on one hand, learning multiple languages from an early age is a huge leg up in being able to learn more languages in the future, but on the other hand Klingon is entirely useless as a primary language given its structure and the few other people who speak it.)

gramathy@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
No, that’s still subject-verb-object or at least adjective clause-noun depending on how it’s read (it should have a hyphen in that case but stuff like that gets left out a lot)

Even cooler, in my opinion, are languages that are even further outside of common indo european language paradigms, such as Navajo which uses degrees of animacy instead of grammatical gender and Basque which uses ‘focus’ and ‘topic’ to determine word order rather than subjects and objects.
Zagorath@aussie.zone 1 year ago
What makes their use of degrees of animacy not a use of grammatical gender? Keep in mind that even though it’s called “gender” because in European languages it usually maps in some way onto human sexual identity, linguistically speaking grammatical gender has nothing to do with human gender identity.
MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
That can’t be right. I’ve never heard of a language called Dutch. That’s just something they print on some food labels to make them seem better.

The main verb is most often in the second position, the second verb you are referring to is a placeholder for an auxiliary verb that usually is a different form of a previously main verb
