What do you love about the English language in your /cunt/ ?

It's very information-dense, so you can use just a few sounds to say a lot.

>information-dense
Meme. The key to communication is not density, but rather fidelity. Any language that has puns or spelling competitions is a shitty language.

No diacritics excluding loanwords like touché

that's your opinion

Rare vocabulary that's attested and compiled by someone else.

“’chill stell a sentence herewithal vetust lexemes thou mayn’t beest able to forstand. Thilk wordhoard Ich quethe beeth… joculously antediluvian, eke otiosely quiescent sithence yoretime.”

It is marked by an exceptionally high level of information density, meaning that the proportion of meaning and semantic content conveyed in relation to the very small number of individual sounds required for its expression is unusually large. As a result of this distinctive characteristic, a speaker is able to employ only a comparatively small set of discrete phonetic units, in other words just a few sounds, in order to communicate and transmit an impressively substantial quantity of meaning, ideas and significance, which far exceeds what one might reasonably expect could be expressed within such a limited span of audible material

Soothly joysome Ich opine, forwhy maugre the possibly inenubilable words… you, O gome, withal, had arread and/or beheld naught but English… perchance.

Oddly enough, old English gives me the impression of the German language.

>>213869599
old english is a pure germanic language untainted by fr*nch influence

>>213869157
So-called 'French' was invented in England
England is the home of French literature
The 'French' language is named for a wholly-unrelated tongue which was mutually-intelligible with Old English

And, more importantly, you are a sp*Niard (lol. lmao, even)

It has the capability to he really descriptive so, you can communicate almost anything. I speak a little Japanese and it's nowhere near as descriptive, it's especially apparent when you read Japanese dubs of English programs and they cut a lot of details out which isn't the same vice versa
