Reasons why French is a superior language to German

>pronunciation that doesn't match the spelling
Haha yes English doesn't have any of that haha

>the gender of the nouns is not arbitrary but it is phonetic, you’ve seen 10 words of the specific group you know them all
There was a British professor of the French language whose name I've forgotten, but he did make a note of the letters a word end son in the French language and could determine with 90+% accuracy the gender of said word.

It only has that because of French influence though lmao

I think French is an aesthetic written language because of its orthography, but when spoken it's fucking foul. Literally one of the ugliest languages to listen to, especially when uttered from the mouth of a man.

I understand the importance of language to a people, but I'm also bemused by the French people's attitude towards theirs. I mean, do they really believe that they speak a pure and unadulterated tongue, devoid of loanwords or outside influence until the advent of the internet and related Anglicisms? Do they not realise that their language is - as they claim of English - a creole? That it is an amalgam of Germanic Old Frankish and misspoken Vulgar Latin, with bizarre grammar and a hybrid vocabulary as a consequence? That this does not detract from a language?

In a sense, but not even close to wholly

Wrong. It has that due to being an unregulated and unstandardized language, allowing for "wildgrowth" so to say. Think of English words retaining unneccessary u's in their o-sounds where Americans dropped them.

Imagine the shock.

Go on

it's because of the great vowel shift

Just having a few frankish/gaulish loanwords does not make feench a creole, dummy.
>bizarre grammar
It's essentially the same as the other romance languages, the only difference being that you can't drop the subject (c'est chaud as opposed to è caldo/está quente/está caliente)

>you can misgender the whole sentence and it will still make sense
But it doesn't matter for German as well...
>far more common words with English
You sure? We have tons of similar sounding words.

Not trying to promote German here, in fact I wouldn't recommend learning German to anyone since you'll never become better at speaking German than the German speaks English without spending too much time on this shit.
Just curious why you think that is not the case.

English has bulk of its vocabulary derived from Romance languages, but most of the core vocabulary (which makes up most of the words used in everyday speech) is Germanic.

Germanic vocabulary, mostly Old Frankish but also German, Dutch, Old English and Modern English, accounts for one-fifth of the word-stock of French

Borrowings range from words for basic concepts (nord, sud, est, ouest, bébé, etc from English) to more specific concepts (boulevard, bouquet, etc) or names for people, nations and languages (France, French, Henry, Richard, Robert, Charles, etc)

Pointing this out is not an insult, dummy

chat = cat
chat >>> chato = gatto
C’est fini.
