The greatest man in French history spoke better Italian than French and only spoke French with a thick accent

It’s the truth but this post will upset many Frenchies

Almost nobody spoke French back then. People where speaking their local languages, French being just one of them. Proper parisian French has been enforced on the whole territory only during the 20th century.

>Call it "French"
>Despite only 1/3 of the country speaking it
Should be called "Parisian" tbqh

This. Only the development of railways help to spread a standard Parisian French.

Mandatory public education had more of an impact I think, it was when schoolteachers had a systematic means of beating their students if they spoke their ancestral language instead of Parisian.

Nah, what made it widespread is the mandatory education only made in French. Children were forbidden to speak anything else at school. I remember my grand parents saying that the teachers used to slap them with wood sticks when they were talking their local language even outside of class during recreaion time.

The rail helped it a lot by making France smaller

He was a devoted Corsican nationalist for most of his youth.

So? Unless you're retarded you'll only carry a mild accent if you're speaking a second language fluently. Especially since they're both Latin.

If he's greatest man in French history then Hitler is greatest man in German history.

>Especially since they're both Latin.
Do you think German speakers who learn English, both Germanic languages, don't often have a strong accent?

English is a bastard child of French, German, and gaulic languages user, there's a complicated language to learn.

I heard even englishmen have accents in various parts of England.

The Normans are the reason we have modern English you brainlet, have you ever read Beowulf? It may be west frisian in origin but modern English is a mix of several languages.

English was not influenced in any meaningful structural sense by Norman French, which merely introduced a lot of words that already had English equivalents, the majority of which survive to this day. Celtic languages have a tenuous influence at the very most, as they were completely wiped out in England proper after the Saxons arrived, similarly to how Arabic wiped out Aramaic and Egyptian, except even more quickly and completely.

>In order to save Ney's life, his lawyer Dupin declared that Ney was now Prussian and could not be judged by a French court for treason as Ney's hometown of Sarrelouis had been annexed by Prussia according to the Treaty of Paris of 1815. Ney ruined his lawyer's effort by interrupting him and stating: "Je suis Français et je resterai Français!" (I am French and I will remain French).[15] On 6 December 1815, he was condemned, and on 7 December 1815 he was executed by firing squad in Paris near the Luxembourg Garden

>Dying for an artificial meme identity created by Freemasons ruling over subservient subject territories from the city of Paris.

wtf I love Napoléon now

>he thinks ney died in paris

>Being able to speak French does not make you French.

This, i'm literally not French, yet, I'm a French teacher.

Also, I think Napoleon signed his name as Napoleone di Buonaparte or something like that.

Reminder that before the late 1800s, French people spoke their regional languages instead of French anyway

"French" is a social construct
t. knower

>On 6 December 1815, he was condemned, and on 7 December 1815 he was executed by firing squad in Paris near the Luxembourg Garden

He didn't say that.

>"they thought they put me in a coffin, once"

He's a manlet and had stomachache forever that made him look like a weird shit though
Would never say that he's unimportant but he himself isn't exactly a cool figure to begin with so I guess frenchies won't mind

He was actually taller than the average frenchman of the time.

The manlet meme probably comes from the fact that he handpicked his guard of big guys, which made him look like a manlet beside them.

For the sake of comparison, i'm 1.95m tall, so most French people look like manlets beside me

Oh I guess you're right then.

if he had succeeded, Europe would be a splendorous, majestic basket of Culture and Innovation right now.

Instead, you get ficki ficki and Muslim calls to Prayer.

Enjoy.

Based. Only FRENCH bulls can die that way.

>He refused to wear a blindfold and was allowed the right to give the order to fire, reportedly saying:

Soldiers, when I give the command to fire, fire straight at my heart. Wait for the order. It will be my last to you. I protest against my condemnation. I have fought a hundred battles for France, and not one against her ... Soldiers, fire![16]

this is what he got for saving the remnants of the grande army in russia

He was so based he tried to die at waterloo but failed while his horses died under him. Must have killed a ton of Brats and Germs

The slightest representation of reality that might cross your mind is a social construct.

>I have fought a hundred battles for France
Lmao more like "I have fought a hundred battles so that Parisian school teachers could beat their students for not being Marxist enough"

At the time, France was a second home to outstanding European individuals. Talented artists, scientists, philosophers, musicians, would move to France and adopt the local culture. And they could perfectly call themselves French, because France was never a monoethnic country but a large melting pot of regional cultures and people with varying ethnicities.
But here's the thing: Napoleon wasn't even that. Napoleon was born on a territory that belonged to France, making him a French citizen from birth, and he assimilated into French culture to reach his own goals, to improve his own social standing. Yes, he was a native speaker of Sardinian, just like I would have been a native speaker of Provençal 150 years ago, and he descended from a noble Tuscan lineage, just like I descend from Florentine Tuscan peasants on my father's side. If I can call myself French, then so could Napoleon, because France made him into the man that became emperor. Not Corsica on its own, not Italy.

I thought you were talking about Hitler for a moment. Napoleon is the shabbot goy who allowed jews infiltrate institutions of France.

Killed France and created "la république", a proto-marxiste state.

some think he was the epitome of the revolutionary frenchman, others think he was an opportunist and a murderous cunt
there are many streets and such named after him because he's such a romanticized figure

You mean Rubinstein?

'French' is a term that is supposed to encompass all the Gallo-Romance cultures and languages in France at the time, including Parisian.

Centralism and the death of local dialects on France became with Louis XIV who was 100% french.

The empire and the republic just continued its work.

It’s in their culture and they needed no foreigners to implement it.

It was the stinking Krauts that invented communism faggot

>Louis XIV who was 100% french
What does that mean? He couldn't be Frankish, since they had disappeared almost a millennia before when they were assimilated into the Gallo-Romance culture of Northern Gallia

And the Parisians took to it like bees to honey, whereas the Germans eventually ended up putting all their gommies in death camps

Even Spain, Italy and Portugal were better than us
Everyone was but the Angl*

>local dialects
They're not dialects, they were mostly distinctive languages. They're no more a "dialect" then Portuguese is a dialect of Castilian.

French doesn't mean Frankish. The Frankish ethnicity didn't exist anymore by then, and neither did the Gaulish and Roman ones. Louis XIV was just 'French', just as French as a random peasant living in Auvergne. To quote Wikipedia:
>Historically the heritage of the French people is diverse, descending from the ancient and medieval populations of Gauls, Ligures, Latins, Franks, Iberians, Alamans and Norsemen.

While I agree with you about Gallo-Romance languages being distinct languages, I think your example is terrible because Portuguese definitely strayed farther away from Castilian than our langues d'oïl and d'oc did from one another.

I wasn't even thinking of the Gallo-Romance languages, they could arguably actually be called dialects. But the Occitan languages and Breton are most certainly their own languages distinct from the Parisian dialect of Gallo-Romance.

It's a meaningless identifier then, just like American is.

Well yes, Occitan and Breton are definitely not dialects, although the former is still largely mutually intelligible with French.
How is it meaningless? Both identifiers have a cultural baggage that defines them. 'French' is just more of a civic nationalist identity.

we are talking about normal french people, not Jow Forums "redpilled" posters

He's right though. Infacr, All the French philosophers of enlightenment were either morons or plagiates (like Rousseau plagiarising Calvinist doctrines for his social contract)

Rousseau's philosophy does have Calvinist themes, which isn't surprising since he descended from a lineage of Huguenots in Geneva, the seat of Calvinism. But that's all there is to it. He was inspired by Calvinist doctrines and pushed the reasoning farther using them as a basis. That's not plagiarism.
