Judgments about languages being good or bad are based on romantic or poetic or nationalistic notions that have nothing to do with the nature of language. Questions, boys and girls?

The nature of each individual language allows for different expression of thoughts. Some languages express certain things "better" and others express other things "better." Which is a good thing! When one's native language affects the way one thinks, one will see things differently. I was just discussing this with some friends actually. I think it's fascinating. But no, you're correct; I don't think any one language is better overall than any others. Though one can have a preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
