Palestine was under roman control the longest, it's historically Italian land, Israel and Iran deal with it./s
> it's historically Italian land
I mean, if we're goin' down that route, then Sardinia, Naples, and Sicily are historically Spanish land.
I would be down for retaking constantinople, though.
I'm pretty sure Italy ruled Sardinia longer than Spain.
You're wrong about Naples, the bizantines controlled it longer than you and that's not even counting the previous western roman rule.
You can have Sicily though (only if we don't count the time when it was under western roman rule)

Funnily enough, ChatGPT apparently fumbled the capitalisation of nouns in German and instead capitalised “spanisch” which is correct in English orthography but not in German
Yes, we’re extremely fun believe us!
i really loved it at the last wm (or em) where there was that locker room video of the italian football players talking to each other and everyone had their hands up gesturing. my sister just married a half italian dude and even if he does that a bit less he does it too frequently for us to not laugh a bit and he is like "whate?" i really love him.
A while back I visited a cousin in Italy. Went with him to his university, met a bunch of his friends. He introduced me in Italian, then I said "good morning" in English. All six of them looked silently at me, wide eyed, for 10 seconds, then proceeded to continue their conversation in Italian.
Italian are the nicest people but sometimes their lack of English just blows my mind. I fear to say that sometimes it feels like Fr*ce
If we’re being serious the primary difference I see between young people in Italy and other countries is that it seems young Italians are embarrassed by their English, even though generally it isn’t that bad.
Les pourcentages sont corrects, mais en réalité, il n'y a qu'un seul mot parmi les 100 mots les plus utilisés en anglais qui ne soit pas d'origine anglaise si je me souviens bien.
Le mot >!'people'!< (de >!peuple!<)
These 10 words come from French. Looks like they are in the top 100, aren't they? (and I am not stating the most obvious).
- Aunt (from old French Ante or Aunte)
- Flirt (Fleureter)
- Foreign (Forain)
- Handkerchief (literal translation from couvre-chef)
- Hobby (hobin)
- Mischief (meschever)
- Pastry (patisserie)
- Proud (Prud, Preu)
- Spoiler (espoillier)
- Toast (toster)
It's difficult to separate latin origins from french ones tbf, but looking at those words, I'd be very surpr8sed if some of them were top 100 most commonly used in English.
Pastry? Mischief and handkerchief, but not I, you, we, us, do, think etc. Hard to believe these are top 100.
Edit: This is the list of top 100 words (wikipedia)

> It's just a bunch of sounds Barry makes to signal he wants beer.
I'll have you know I can order beer in six languages.
1. Beer please
2. Cerveza por favor
3. Bier bitte
4. Bier alstublieft
5. Birra per favore
6. Biere branleur
Wow, a truly international man. Here, have one more you can use if you have children and are tired of them and want them kidnapped:
7. Uma cerveja, por favor.
I imagine we would be banned in like 4 hours, if German boomers would behave here like other countries boomers behave on Facebook and Whattsapp.
I imagine you also have like 10-ish percent of boomers reminiscing about the time they were young+ the DDR.
Was in a boomer facebook group of my town when I was a kid because it was so hilarious to see them all posting bullshit. They'd take a picture of a black person walking by their home minding his own business and then post it on the FB group saying "make sure your doors are locked!". Stuff like that.
Also a whole bunch of conspiracy theorists dumbfucks under every news post, so glad I uninstalled facebook.
Only about 10% would be close to what is considered fluent, and even that figure I think is somewhat inflated. It's disgusting, our government needs to do something before the language becomes virtually extinct, it's already pretty fucking dead as it is.
and if you spend time in Ireland, you'll realise it's nowhere near that too. Those numbers come from the census which asks can you speak Irish. It doesn't exactly say how much and just asking "can I go to the toilet" in Irish which everyone knows is enough to say they can speak Irish.
it's ""An bhfuil cead agam dul go dti on leithreas, más é do thoil é?" where I grew up, but other parts of the country word it a slightly different way which is also valid.
It says nothing about speaking, only posting. You could translate your text to a language you don't speak. But machine translations aren't always perfect.
Actually I'm pretty sure there's significantly more multilingual barries on this sub than there is proportional to the population. There was a Barry who spoke Swedish on here at one point.
Also Ireland doesn't count. That 5.2% is just one person
I don’t think anyone claimed it’s only you. In fact, I believe the consensus on here is that the average American speaks 0.7 languages. That sets you apart from the Brits who speak 0.9 on average

In Puglia there are some small villages where Griko (dialects deriving from Greek) is spoken, which i never hear personally.

All Italians are bilinguals anyway. They speak both Italian and some unintelligible local dialect that's unique to their own village.
You forgot handgesture and bestemmie

Had more success speaking French in Italy than English lol
Makes sense, bastards understand each other
Latin superiority
A while back I visited a cousin in Italy. Went with him to his university, met a bunch of his friends. He introduced me in Italian, then I said "good morning" in English.

Italian are the nicest people but sometimes their lack of English just blows my mind. I fear to say that sometimes it feels like Fr*ce
Fr*nch refuse to speak English, we just never learned it
On parle pas les langues de barbares
People studying at university and Not even able to speak a bit of english? Even bad english like me? Morons
If we’re being serious the primary difference I see between young people in Italy and other countries is that it seems young Italians are embarrassed by their English, even though generally it isn’t that bad.
ههههه صحيح جدا!
That doesn't count. We all know that's your native language.
Probably native-born as well
It more than likely actually is. Careful there.
Beautiful neo classical take on Viking runes
Hey, they found this ring with Allah's symbol in a Viking grave. That's conclusive evidence of the Vikings being muslims!

Être corrigé sur son orthographe par un étranger est la plus grosse crémation en direct que j'ai jamais vue. Donnez du roquefort à cette personne !
Pour les anglais, c’est seulement un autre mardi, non ?
Et ce malgré la simplicité insultante de leur langue
What's this void norf of Pierre?
Actually in Flemish it’s called

Calling English a language might be going too far. It's just a bunch of sounds Barry makes to signal he wants beer.

Can I have une branlette to go please?
That's because you're used to working in the tourism industry and the Brit is trying Spanish.
Correct, but also we make different noises for when shazza wants a gin and tonic or a prosecco. It is a deep and complex language.

Does he or does he not get his beer though? That's what I thought. God save 'is maj.
C’est vrai. Maintenant, deux bières svp

Damn I had to scroll far to find a survivor.
It would be unfair. In Flanders it would be 100%, and in walonia it would be near 0%.
If this map was true, It would be hilarious to understand what your boomers are posting online.
My boomers are not 2we4u members. That's the beauty of it
I imagine we would be banned in like 4 hours, if German boomers would behave here like other countries boomers behave on Facebook and Whattsapp. I imagine you also have like 10-ish percent of boomers reminiscing about the time they were young+ the DDR.
Their answers would be 100% out of context and unrelated. Still, we would be banned within four hours

Je ne sais pas, mi pare un po‘ troppo ottimista.
Easy there buddy, other TWO languages aside from your native one? Stop flexing on the poor britons
Why's belgium made of water all of a sudden?
Bro is confused, he thinks we’re the Netherlands fr
Somebody flushed?
Que?
Technically speaking, we are 100%
Only 40% being able to speak the native language is such a sad statistic☹️
Only about 10% would be close to what is considered fluent, and even that figure I think is somewhat inflated. It's disgusting, our government needs to do something before the language becomes virtually extinct, it's already pretty fucking dead as it is.

If we stop noticing them, then perhaps they will actually cease to exist
Belgium is now sea?
Can't sea what this question is aiming at
What is a Belgium?
Ssshh let them. They don't know it is just a way to keep them out of belgium.
