pretty strange tho...i thought that in almost every country there are several regional dialects >every deviation from the Standard Russian becomes a meme how so?
I am not marxist but someday everyone the world will speak the same language
so what's the matter?
Eli Hill
For example, there is a stereotype that people in Saint Petersburg call curbs "пopeбpик" instead of "бopдюp". Now SpB is sometimes referred to as "Porebrik-city" on the Internet.
He just tries to attract attention to russia. In fact russia is boring frozen shithole.
Levi James
Another reason why I chose russian. You don't have to deal with so many shitty dialects. Plus Ukrainian isn't much different so you're killing two birds with one stone.
Jack Mitchell
> Plus Ukrainian isn't much different so you're killing two birds with one stone. It is, but they all speak Russian anyway, you don't need to worry. They only refuse to speak it when they're talking to Russians.
Jayden Smith
I guess. If they'd taught me russian in HS I'd probably be able to speak it as well as English by now but sadly Italian schools are garbage.
Alexander Clark
because those countries are far older than russia you dumb nigger faggot the fact that they had civilisation for thousands of years before your country existed means they have had a longer time to develop different dialects also, people dont live all over russia, the vast majority of it is uninhabited and this was even more true further back in time when it was essentially tera incognita and didnt exist if you only count the places where people liv3e the area gets reduced drastically also japan and italy are pretty extreme examples, pretty much no other country their size has that many dialects because countries that size usually dont divide themselves into 7 trillion tiny as fuck provinces which each have their own culture
most importantly, who gives a fuck? why the hell do you want people to speak any way other than exactly who you speak while you're in your own country?
Angel Phillips
>sadly italian schools r garbage that's undeniably true, but why would they teach us russian in the first place in HS tho?
Ryder Young
rude
Brayden Ortiz
>Is Communism to blame?
but china has literally hundreds of dialects, and many of them mutually unintelligible
Tyler Reed
you're juan to talk
Joseph Barnes
Because why not? Children learn languages much faster than adults and this fucking "europe is better so you should learn european languages" policies pisses me off. What if someone wants to learn Mandarin or Arabic instead of French or Spanish? English is definitely a required language but the others aren't so why shouldn't we be able to choose which ones we want to learn?
Elijah Reed
> because those countries are far older than russia you dumb nigger faggot Russia is older than England, but English has plenty of different dialects, too.
Lincoln Perez
>English is definitely a required language but the others aren't so why shouldn't we be able to choose which ones we want to learn? k, that's understandable.
Andrew Evans
Prove me wrong bruh. English is required just to operate a PC nowadays. If you're getting into programming you must know English.
Jace Price
they want EU kids to learn EU language because they are all dying languages
Liam Lee
but england developed proper civilization before you did and has subdivided themselves in to lots of tiny provinces for some fucking reason which where at war with each other for most of their history
again, that is an extreme example you also did not address my other points
Michael Sanders
Italian and French might be called so but Spanish is widely spoken still.
Jose Morris
>what if someone wants to learn arabic
Hunter Watson
> you also did not address my other points I agree with the rest of the post. Russia didn't stay divided for too long, it's been "The Grand Duchy of Moscow" since the 1200s. On the other hand, your own country New Zealand wasn't even on the map until 1642. Yet you have your own Kiwi accent. So do Aussies. You might say it's because of the ocean, but the settlements in Siberia were pretty much isolated until the 18th century when the empress decided it would be a good idea to finally make some use of all the land we grabbed.
Matthew Bailey
Like moving all the slaves there? I read about it somewhere kek
we have our own accent because only the retarded brits decided to move to NZ and only criminals went to Aus so when you have retards mixing with criminals the pronunciation and slang gets changed drastically
it is essentially the white version of making a country of people who only use ebonics when speaking
Daniel Brown
Nah, the slaves (actually let's call them correctly, "serfs". Being a serf sucks much more than being a slave) were there from the beginning. Who do you think built the settlements?
