Until two centuries ago, anyone educated studied rhetoric because everyone knew that thoughts are worthless unless the speaker knows how to represent them.

Unironically this. English may be a bastardized Frankenstein of a language, but it has the unique ability to just assimilate any word it likes and adapts it to mean something extremely specific. It also has the means to turn any noun into a verb if you are creative and witty enough about it. It's not a perfect language, far from it, but if you master (and I mean really master it) it you may as well have 400 IQ.

it's more like a general property of analytic languages, rather than something English specific

>cool pic, now I want to see a version with worldwide languages including asian and native american ones etc
>search for it
>results are all just indo-european
What the fuck. I expect the English side of the internet to be biased towards it but even explicitly typing wordwide language tree or asian language tree gives fuck all. Some shitty graphs of chinese language groups at best.

"European" is not a separate branch of Indo-European.

>biased
>fuck all
I think this has a deeper problem WHERE exactly asian languages come from if not from the Indo-european?
Could it be that not even asians know with exactitude?

Monolinguals are brainlets.

lol so because the author made a drawing for IE languages he suddenly has some moral obligation to include other language families? You do know you can find that kind of info elsewhere, right?
