This post is aimed esepcialy at the classicists on our friends list.
This article offers proof positive that eveything we thought we knew about the origin of languages is a lie. You simply must it read and come to the same soul-destroying realization of the truth I have.
We have seen a few foreign films with English subtitles whose characters spoke Dutch, but it didn't strike me as particularly ugly, either.
For some reason, I love listening to Italian best of all, just for the pure beauty of its sound, though I must admit I haven't heard all that many languages compared to how many there actually are.
