:::::Andy, it's unproductive to debate this issue with someone who won't even admit that languages can't be objectively quantified.

:::::: FredCorps, I appreciate your edits, but I respectfully disagree with your statement that "no language is superior to another."  Suppose I invent a new language today that has only ten words.  Is that equal to Latin?  No, I don't think so.  Suppose a tribal language is discovered on a Pacific Island containing less than a thousand people and no written work.  Is that language likely to be equal to Greek?  Of course not.  Indeed, not only is it implausible for all languages to be equal, but such equality is ''impossible''.  It is as impossible as claiming that all buildings are of equal height.  In fact, none are.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 10:47, 8 April 2009 (EDT)
