Spanish is definitely a god-tier language to have as a native, as it is very complicated to learn and gives you a very complete groundwork for pronouncing whatever they throw at you in any language.
Nothing feels better than listening an anglo trying to roll his R's or pronounce the L properly, sounding like a complete retard.

Sure I do. If you know the Cyrillic alphabet, it was the same language, now for instance there has been added a "-ul" ending at the definite article of masculine nouns. Back in the day, it would only be added in "u", similar to thr Slavic languages. For instance prieten - friend and prietenu - the friend. Since the late 19th century, it is "prietenul".

>>60476015
most probably language originated somewhere as a method of communication inherent to humans (human trachea is one of a kind, as well as three parts of our brains) and became more and more streamlined, gained more and more systematic grammar until something language-like emerged

as nomadic people moved around, they had a number of unique stimuli to reshape their primitive languages to accomodate, most likely their speech was very idiosynchratic and could vary among individuals (as there was no written standard to relate to)

with time, as nomad communities began to settle down, to speak something generally recognisable by all inhabitants became favoured and so languages emerged

it's all theories though, as there is simply no records of speech be it written or spoken beyond Sumer
