You can know more languages than your own native one and still identify with your native language and its culture. It makes no difference if many people speak a universal language apart from their native language. This is a slide thread.

That doesn't address the post I made whatsoever, honestly. You need to step out of your dreamworld and back into reality, brother. You aren't reading right, as I was talking about how this relates to conflict, much less on the side of culture. Maybe take a break or something.

Languages can influence your way of thinking due to their structures and limitations. Having whole nations speak foreign language and being exposed to it on a daily basis is a big deal.

Alright listen. The only reason we can talk right here, right now, is because the British conquered half the globe and spread their language. There is a certain practical element to it. I completely agree that a universal language must never, ever hinder or replace our ethnic languages. If it is replaced in our learning institutions, governments, culture, etc. then it supercede its purpose. What OP was talking about wasn't any of the aforementioned, but that "we're losing our languages" which isn't true. This thread would be an entirely different matter if he talked about specific points and examples in which English was replacing our ethnic languages, but he hasn't. There is absolutely no direction or purpose of this thread. I saged it before and I'll sage it forevermore, because both you and OP are simultaneously all massive idiotic faggots.

There are hundreds of scientific studies on the cognitive benefits of learning more than one language. Even just a second language can be incredibly beneficial to how you learn, think, and act. Most countries take English very seriously and teach it throughout their education system, unlike America where we only learn a language for two semesters, just to forget it a few weeks later (typically).

We certainly are capable of learning any language, but I'm speaking systematically. China is forcing their people to learn our sacred code. That's a big difference from the minuscule minority of our people who know Chinese or Hebrew or whatever else.
