>I speak in Latin to God, Italian to Women, French to Men, and German to my Horse.
What did he mean by this?
I speak in Latin to God, Italian to Women, French to Men, and German to my Horse
He shouldn't have abdicated.
He knew that germans are degenerate
>Latin
He's Catholic
>Italian
Apparently their women are promiscuous
>French
Mercenaries
>German
Horse is german
>and english to goblins
Latin for the church, Italian for courtship (or maybe Culture, ie Opera, Sonnets), French as the Lingua Franca spoken in diplomacy and in the court among pretty much all nobles, and finally German (which wasn't really 'German' the language we know today) as the language of the peasants/rabble which you would use if only to speak to someone of little import, might as well be a horse.
He meant that German sounds like shit and is a language for animals
>and finally German (which wasn't really 'German' the language we know today)
t. history pro (retard)
He says "I speak Spanish to God", you dumb frog
en.wikiquote.org
This is where I copied the quote.
>>French to Men
>7 replies already
>still no jokes about French being gay
What has happened to this place?
That's low-hanging fruit.
this is what caspallanos believe
He actually says that he speaks Spanish to god (means Latin with Spanish there was no distinction back then)
You settle your Horse when you go to war. That's why he speaks German to his Horse. Because his Army is German.
And that's high-hanging fruit.
Ah, apparently it has multiple versions
Shut the fuck up, subhuman regional minority
Maybe, but there already has been silly banter about German () and still nothing about French. Are all Italians still asleep or something?
>means Latin with Spanish there was no distinction back then
Nah, there definitely was a distinction then. It was the 15th century, not the 8th or some shit.
This, no nobles actually had reason to learn German, it was vernacular.
I want a cute japanese gf so fucking much
where do you even get this idea from?
there were dialects, but people from all over the German nation understood each other as early as the 9th century...
In the original quote he says that he speaks Spanish to god.
>you to go with horses, not men!!
>the "horses" part means the army, not the "men" part!!!
Delusional.
Yes. That doesn't mean Latin and Spanish weren't distinct languages in the 16th century.
>Germshits on full damage control after something a man said hundreds of years ago
This is absolut bullshit.
Before the Prussian Culture policies to assimilate all German territories from teh 18th Century on there was no common German tongue.
You'll think otherwise when her face gets unstuck
No, originally he said that first, but during the time he made multiple variations, mostly because the Comuneros revolt, he didn't know Castillian when he arrived to Spain:
"Hablo el español con Dios, el italiano con las mujeres, el francés con los hombres y el alemán con mi caballo."
"Hablo en italiano con los embajadores; en francés, con las mujeres; en alemán con los soldados; en inglés con los caballos y en español con Dios."
"Uno debe hablar español con Dios, italiano con la amiga, francés con el amigo, alemán con los soldados, inglés con los patos, húngaro con los caballos y bohemio (checo) con el diablo."
"El español para mis tropas, el francés para las mujeres, y el alemán para mi caballo."
"El francés es la lengua del amor, el italiano la lengua de la política y el castellano la lengua para hablar con Dios."
"El hombre es tantas veces hombre cuanto es el número de lenguas que ha aprendido."
why do you talk about things you have no idea about?
>inglés con los patos
ANGLOS BTFO
I lived in SK and I still want a japanese gf.
there's a similar saying in Iran
I speak to poets and bureucrats in Persian
I speak to mullahs and alims (scientists) in Arabic
I speak to soldiers and the kings in Turkish
I speak to donkeys and thieves in Kurdish
>inglés con los patos
I don't get it.
>inglés con los patos
Ayy
High German comes from the Upper German dialects.
What a suprise Bavarian, Swabian and partly Frankonian are Upper German dialects.
Rheinniederfränkisch speaking people (like the name implies people living in the lower Rhine region (Rhine-Ruhr) would not understand much.
that would be wrong and rude
>What a suprise Bavarian, Swabian and partly Frankonian are Upper German dialects.
and what about the Saxons who could understand it as well?
>Latin
religious language obviously
>Italian
sensual and romantic
>French
language of diplomacy and aristocracy
>German
he mounts his horse when he goes to war with his german army
Maybe they learned the tongue of their King?
How much Dutch do you understand?
>y bohemio con el diablo
Lmao, Czech is too fucking cute to be a language of Hell, German fits much more
Doesn't he mean Gypsy? It's misinformed but in Western Europe, Bohemians is used to single out vagrants and gispies.
>les gens de Bohème : the gypsies
It means latins are retarded christians, italians too autistic for manly talks, french are faggots and german is the language of authority
t. horse
until a writing reform in the 16th century spanish was written latin.
authority over horses. Like Masters of Animals in D&D
Bad horse. You say that again and you will end up eaten by the whole court.
Who is this guy in the first place? Never heard of him.
>Inglés con los patos
Lol
Is wikipedia banned in Russia or are you just mentally disabled?
Francis I's and Suleiman the Magnificent's rent boy.
Wasn't Francis his punching bag, tho?
you didn't have to put your ignorance to everyone sight
it's Charles V the greatest emperor of the HRE and the greatest king of spain
>He doesn't know Charles V, by the grace of God, Holy Roman Emperor, forever August, King of Germany, King of Italy, King of all Spains, of Castile, Aragon, León, of Hungary, of Dalmatia, of Croatia, Navarra, Grenada, Toledo, Valencia, Galicia, Majorca, Sevilla, Cordova, Murcia, Jaén, Algarves, Algeciras, Gibraltar, the Canary Islands, King of Two Sicilies, of Sardinia, Corsica, King of Jerusalem, King of the Western and Eastern Indies, of the Islands and Mainland of the Ocean Sea, Archduke of Austria, Duke of Burgundy, Brabant, Lorraine, Styria, Carinthia, Carniola, Limburg, Luxembourg, Gelderland, Neopatria, Württemberg, Landgrave of Alsace, Prince of Swabia, Asturia and Catalonia, Count of Flanders, Habsburg, Tyrol, Gorizia, Barcelona, Artois, Burgundy Palatine, Hainaut, Holland, Seeland, Ferrette, Kyburg, Namur, Roussillon, Cerdagne, Drenthe, Zutphen, Margrave of the Holy Roman Empire, Burgau, Oristano and Gociano, Lord of Frisia, the Wendish March, Pordenone, Biscay, Molin, Salins, Tripoli and Mechelen.
Really? I didn't know
"Bohemistics" is a study about Czech language and culutre, and I know that in latin (and some other western languages) Bohemia = Czechia
So I assumed that in Spanish it also goes that way
Let's dismiss that. But yes, he very much put France on the brink of death, and held him captive, only surrendering him under humiliating terms.
Then again France had to fight both the HRE and Spain so nothing very easy.
Some irrelevant European monarch I see.
>>/lbgt/
Did you know he tried to ally with Persia after seeing frogs allying with Turks?
He was just one of the most important european kings, but yea, if you say so
>>/trash/
>>/mlp/
That's hilarious. He didn't really have to panic though. He held Spain at its apogy, and still had France by the throat because he'd inherited Burgundy from Charles the Bold's daughter. Also had the HRE and Austria to put pressure on France and the Ottomans.
Overdone
Whatever faggot.
>Unde solebat, ut audio, Carolus V Imperator dicere, Germanorum linguam esse militarem: Hispanorum amatoriam: Italorum oratoriam: Gallorum nobilem ("When Emperor Charles V used to say, as I hear, that the language of the Germans was military; that of the Spaniards pertained to love; that of the Italians was oratorical; that of the French was noble").
You entered this thread under the rather childish delusion you were going to shitpost in everyone else direction and nobody was going to shitpost back
>there was no common German tongue
There were various German dialects but they were not distinct languages.
Is dutch a distinctive langauge?
lol that's so pathetic
to add to this I also want to see how much of real swiss german you will be able to understand.
>Das Niederdeutsche besitzt eine Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Dialektformen und hat sich aus dem Altsächsischen entwickelt. Die Linguistik zählte ursprünglich die niederländischen Dialekte zum Niederdeutschen.
No actually I was. But your backfire is just as strong as it was 70 Years ago.
Also good to know that even english memes have cucked your mind.
Dialects being hard to understand doesn't necessarily make them different languages.
Fuck him and all the other habsburgs
Just like your butt, gaylord
then they are not different languages.
My point is that there was no common tongue.
There hardly was a common tongue anywhere before radio/TV. People spoke their local dialects.
And fuck white people too
>le superior german empire face
Other way around sweaty. German is a dutch dialect, #facts.
Charles II was neither King of Germany nor Holy Roman Emperor.
So it's fixed dutch?
t. dicklet
He used to look way better when he was young
Is he the Brendan Fraser of military leaders?
Indeed
Most Western armies spoke German in the 1500-1700s, including the Swedish army as a large amount of the soldiers (prior to the Carolean army) were German mercenaries and many of the Swedish soldiers spoke German due to being born in merchantry cities where German was a majority spoken language.
>this guy did more damage to his country than a literal inbred retard
That he spoke german to his military.
>english memes
Where do you think most memes come from? The anglosphere.
Don't think so Pierre LeCuckhold
Because one of them perhaps ruled Spain and the other Germany?
Also Willy was centimeters of winning the war and stablishing a German century
prior to Napoleon the idea of total conquest or total destruction hadnt existed prior to the migration age in Europe
why are French gay?
His army.
There was no total destruction of Germany in 1918. The war he helped start is what did the damage, not the peace
False.
Rome burn Carthage and salt their field so nothing more would grow.
Yea I always wondered about that shit, for Napoleon france lost a few slivers of land to the belgians germans and italy and had to pay reparations.
Afaik these territories were taken during the 25years of almost constant war.
One idea was to dismember France during the vienne congress but it was more like "hey we could do that - but we probably wont haha"
For 4 years of War Germany got tons of land taken that was rightfully theirs, all colonies, the country got completely looted and drained of everything of value, wasnt allowed to redevelop an army, Rhineland stayed occupied and fenchcucks tried their best to get Germany dismantled, like what the actual fuck?
Prior to this, we have the late bronze collapse (which is probably the earliest description of total destruction and fall from empires).
In a space of 20 years, three empires that had being thriving for the last 300 years felled apart. The worst thing is no one knows exactly what caused it. Some people blame famine, slave riots, or the invasion of the Sea people...
that latin, french and Italian are femenine while german is really masculine
>Napoleonic wars
>France rarely ever launches them if not for the first and sixth coalition, out of eight
>quick and little costly campaigns
>France utterly ravaged by how much of its youth has been stripped from it, giving the advantage to Germany and Russia for the new century
>France is cucked out of the Holy Alliance, and to be shooed by everyone in Europe until further notice
>Great war

>ravaged the French and Belgian industrial region for four years
>at the end of war, France is more wounded demogeaphically and economically than Germany, which was spared from the fighting
>Germany is the least partitioned of all the Central powers, and has legitimate reparations to pay like the French did in 1871
>sanctions against Germany reflect the need to put France and Germany on an equal footing so Germans can't be tempted to start another war
Ah yes, so unfair!
