Everything else is irrelevant.
You mean most influential European languages in the world or most infuential languages in Europe, because there's a difference. E.g. Spanish is very influential worldwide, but even more irrelevant than Italian within Europe.

From the 18th century onward? Sure. But Greek and Latin shaped eastern and western europe respectively from antiquity and well into the renaissance.

2. Latin

10. Dutch
Remove sweden from the list. Never forget Latin and Greek again.
Same.
I am Greek
Spanish is irrelevant in Europe
Sweden does not belong on that list at all
German second and russian 4th or 3rd with france taking the other. Rest is good
Let's breed all their women to make your wish come true.
No, the rest isn't good. Anyone not including Latin and Greek on that list is completely uneducated. They should replace Swedish and Polish (and obviously move further up in the rating)
I don't know what's your metric for "influence" but German has more native speakers in Europe than any other language.
If your metric is worldwide popularity Spanish should be higher, if it's culture Italian and Greek, possibly Russian should be higher, if it's European popularity it should be German 1st.
You're not right.
There are people itt who listed French as more influential today than German.
Look, I think gooks are cute but that face man.. that's the "she obviously took plastic surgery" face.
If that were the case, I would just marry some ugly gook and pay for all her plastic surgery.

4.5 Italian
These are patrician opinions. If you find yourself disagreeing with me, show yourself out. Thank you.
>Italian instead of Russian
Come on now.
So? German isn't the language of the EU or anything like that, while French is the language of diplomacy and most languages in Europe have an abundance of French loanwords (English is basically half-French). That isn't even including the the francophonie worldwide. German as a language isn't really that relevant.
Ever heard about the Renaissance, user? Ever read a sheet of music? Italian is the (classical) music language for a reason. It's literally all in italian. Crescendo, forte, fortissimo, pianissimo, the do-re-mi scale. I could go on.
Also, I'd like to place french at the #5 spot for my first list.
>Cold udon noodles + kimchi + takuan
I'm sorry about derailing the thread topic but what the fucking hell is this.
Koreans should admit their tongues have been numb and paralyzed due to eating too much spicy food.
What does it matter, that stuff all tastes like shit anyway
1.Hebrew
that's about it , maybe some hebrew derivatives like japanease
>Italian and dutch more influential than portuguese
...
t. Alexander Papadopoulos
good post
Who gives a fuck about that.Fuckin g nerd faggot
Throughout history, Italian and Dutch are obviously more influential than Portuguese.
Today, in the world, Portuguese probably win
because more than 200 millions people speak it,
Well,portuguese words can be found from brazil to japan
>Who gives a fuck about that.Fuckin g nerd faggot
Great post, great board, great site. Off yourself. Classical music is among the greatest of cultural heritage.
if you think poolish and arabic (aka dutch) are more influential than greek you should shoot yourself in the face with a double barelled shotgun
>brazil makes us more relevant!!!!
en.wikipedia.org
There aren't a lot Portuguese words in Japanese language.
We still have Angola, Mozambique, Timor-Leste, Guiné-Bissau, São Tomé e Principe,Cape Verde and Macau to some degree
And the list seems funnily bigger with Dutch words.
>m-muh islands and african countries!!!
If you actually read the arricle 50% are actually from english and there are aome from protuguese:
>Reinforcement of Portuguese biscoito.
>More likely derived from Portuguese capitão.
>Reinforcement of Portuguese copo.
lol everyone thinks about this at least once
>Arigatō
>It is often suggested that the Japanese word arigatō derives from the Portuguese obrigado, both of which mean "Thank you", but evidence clearly indicates a purely Japanese origin. The Japanese phrase arigatō gozaimasu is a polite form of arigatō. This is a form of an adjective, arigatai, for which written records exist dating back to the Man'yōshū compiled circa 759 AD, well before Japanese contact with Portugal.[5]
What does arigatai mean?
gracious/precious
Feels good being ANGLO master race
>tfw Japanese language is nowhere to be used other than Japan
But we have your words to Germany!.
>1. English
>2. French
Remembre que ton langage contient immensément de verbiage François.
Yeah but Chinese is not as useful internationally as English
We have Japanese loan words, Like tsunami, Emoji and Tycoon.
>Mfw there are 13 million brazillians that can't speak portuguese
wikipedia says we are 210 mi brazilians now
1. English
2. French
3. German
4. Spanish
5. Russian
...
That's my list, and so far it matches yours.
I think you're right.
How could swedish qualify as "relevant" in any ranking ????
bet you wish it looked half as good
Are you Korean? Either way I agree
I agree.
Polish? We have borrowings from Czechs, but not from Polish. Unsurprising, since Polish itself seems to be about 60% part borrowings from other languages.
