How come the english language is the best language there is? I'm pretty sure that if we took all the World's language dictionaries, the english one would be the biggest.

This is why English is unstoppable, when you rule the world your language rules with it

German was the lingua franca in Europe until like WW1. Anyone that thinks English is used more than other languages because of imperialism is ignorant as fuck.

It was objectively French but you're free to supply literally any evidence otherwise

If that's true why almost all their philosophy is subversive shit?

>German served as a lingua franca in portions of Europe for centuries, mainly the Holy Roman Empire outside of the sphere of influence of the Hanseatic League, which used Low German, and to a lesser extent in Eastern Europe where the Polish Empire and the Russian Empire dominated, and South-Eastern Europe where the Ottoman Empire was the dominant cultural influence over the centuries. In fact, the Romantic movement with Goethe and Schiller at its top, at the end of the 18th century, served as a rediscovery of the German language for the German people that used, at this point, largely French as a lingua franca like almost all European regions, but German can be indeed still considered as a lingua franca though with far less importance than French until the 20th century or English today.
Everyone is correct today
Thomas Brooks
most European nobles spoke French.

kek German served as the Lingua Franca in Germany who'd a thunk it

Yeah, because, like, the HRE was totally just ethnic Germans.

It overwhelmingly was at all points in history. A minority of Italians and Bohemians doesn't make calling your own language a lingua franca any less ridiculous
Nicholas Williams
The Franks were Germans
Thomas Nguyen
>A minority of Italians and Bohemians
French, Slavs, Dutch, probably Danes too

I was talking about the minorities of any size that mattered

I still adamantly believe Yea Forums should use British English.

Limeys should hang. I’m not kidding. All the Good British stock emigrated from that place centuries ago, and all that remains is the dregs of the genetic goblet.
