I believe french is better than english in the the way that letters can only make on sound compared to the english vowels for example and many others.

Interesting about the alternating lines shown at 3:07 or so into the video. Some the early "daisy wheel" printers actually did alternate printing direction to compensate for how time consuming it was to go all the way back to the left side for each line. Of course the lines read from left to right from the reader's pint-of-view, it's just that the alternate (even numbered) lines were printed from "end "to "beginning."

As a german myself i can say that whenever this topic would come up in school our teachers said they didnt like it because it either wasnt needed in their opinion or it was just ugly in their opinion.

also from Germany, but with the most based teacher ever. When a college gets angry about her gendering, she tells them she won't greet them anymore but they should just feel greeted when she greets everyone else (since by their logic FLINTA* people should also feel included in gereric masculin). Best teacher ever

English not having future tense significantly expedites the learning process for many foreign learners. Every time someone asks me to explain future tense in English I just say: It's the same as present, but with will, won't or be going to. And boom, they instantly learnt a new tense. That said, as a native Spanish Speaker, it gives me a certain comfort when a language has an actual future tense (like French), it makes translating to and from Spanish a lot simpler since I don't have to adapt anything, and to me it just makes sense to have an actual future tense. I don't think every language should have it, but I won't complain when they do.

I think the opposition is also opposition to the notion that anyone should have to see something so ugly as these ideologists who for their obsessive reasons change languages and conventions. Banning it is right.

The thing about what Sam said....is not a self realization from the easternlings themselves is from a protagonist or a friend of a protagonist that tries to see the good in evil patronising the evil moral.

I tried to invent a language when I was younger and someone threw the prototype in the trash, I have a fantasy map somewhere too but I haven't seen it for a while, though it was unrelated to the language unlike your project.

I don't speak Italian, and I completely understood what you said at the beginning. I don't speak any romance languages (I call English both a romance language and a germanic one) except English and the tiniest bit of Spanish.

I am Iranian and speak Persian as my native language and we are blessed to have a completely gender-neutral language in that regard, even in pronouns. One big issue we had/have according to grammatical gender, is that in our constitution, the president-to-come "must be of the nation's great political RIJAL". That last word is an Arabic loanword, meaning "Men". I'm pretty sure the author of the constitution - mostly one man - put that there just to make it more formal, but he was assassinated before he could elaborate on the gender of the president. Our government is a misogynistic dictatorship. They wouldn't have allowed women into government anyway. The German people should not allow a similar event to happen to them. I think one thing that can be done for the generic, unspecific grammatical gender in German, is the introduction of an entirely new, ungendered form for words. I personally propose you take the masculine form of the word and put an "-i" (or any other vowel really) at the end of it. "Schweizer" becomes "Schweizeri". To form the plural form, replace the "-i" with "-s" or "-Vs" (the V represents a vowel), in common Indo-European fashion. Although I do understand this is somewhat of a big language change and is unlikely to be supported by the German people, expecially with how you described contemporary German politics. I think a simpler choice could be to keep using the Gender Star, but drop everything after it. Just use the masculine plus the asterisk. I think an asterisk alone is enough in conveying the message.

My mums partner is named Nicklas Hermasson, which is both a fossilised patronymic and a real patronym since his father was actually called Herman. For some reason though, which I am yet to uncover, a lot of his old friends in his home area call him Herman! I've no idea why they call him by his father's name, but it seems to be a custom in the area (northern Västmanland).

The letters don't seem typeable. So instead it is written by: 1. Latin script 2. Cyrillic script 3. IPA 4. Dhivehi abjad 5. Arabic abjad or Sorani script 6. Hebrew abjad 7. Syriac abjad 8. Armenian script 9. Georgian script 10. Sindarian script (contains crazy ID's)

If you can pronounce the word Spiegelei correctly, you can pronounce the gender star correctly.

But whereas in Spiegelei it doesn't matter much how you pronounce it, the correct pronunciation of the gender star is of the utmost importance.
