I think I've seen this paper before. It was a comparison of the morphemes per second or something similar.

The languages listed were the only ones tested. Japanese was least information dense which is probably why Japs have to talk so fast and rely so much on context and subject and object dropping.
>>75757943

That still does not explain what is being measured, or the basis for the gradations.
Why is French near English when it is one of the most useless languages in existence?
>>75758084

Actually, it's because the language pretty much went extinct for about 2000 years, and then it was brought back by the kikes.

No. Just like German they've got masculine, feminine and neuter.
>>75758319
The syllables per second rate was higher for Japanese in the test. I think Mandarin was the slowest but the tones allow a degree of information density that kind of makes up for it. I don't know what their methodology was or how they performed these tests.

Well no, because it was a dead language before it was revived in the late 1800s and then won popularity during the rise of Zionism in the British mandate of Palestine and finally became the official language of Israel, establishing it as a proper language. It's quite interesting actually. You can get by in most of Israel if you speak English or Arabic though.

Pretty much every language on this list is ones I want to learn in my life time.
English is native tongue, have studies Japanese (non weeaboo reasons) for some years to where I can understand it by ear, live in Florida so picked up some Spanish in my life time and can easily take to it, learned bits on French in school, want to learn German because my uncle spoke it fluently (want to find his ex-wife who was very sweet and converse with her), all the others just to have them.

>>75758731
That is true for the Scandinavian languages but German and its directly related languages have kept this old system due to influence from its neighbours (French and also slavic languages follow the same gender system).

Same here. And in Polish as well. Basically anglo circlejerk "British scientists found out that english is the most informational language"
>>75758807
>english is only the most spoken language because it's easy
>>75758928
When all you need to say is "Bozgor pass the Goulash" information rate becomes irrelevant.
>>75759093
correction: French has no neuter, but distinguishes between feminine and masculine.
>>75758748
Depends if you're speaking in a general sense or a specific sense.
I could speak English with only English words, if I wanted. French adds words that really don't give us anything we don't already have.

>>75758800
This is why everyone speak it
Is literally a downgrade for any other language
English is the most dumbed down of the european languages. Any other language on the continent is better.
>>75757818
I am guessing they mean how well it compresses. A lower information rate would compress better.
Then again, a rate is information per something.
Is this per word? per syllable? per what?
If I were measuring I'd go for per syllable, but who knows what they did. Per word measurement would make languages with lots of long words more information dense.
Also information rate wouldn't be the only game in town. Redundancy means you can tease out the intended meaning if some parts were unheard, or even purposely omitted.
If you can figure out what is being said from context, then you can depend on implied context and actually say less.
This sort of thing might mess with measured information rate depending on methodology.
>>75757604
English has confusing grammatical rules. That's why if you're not educated, you'll sound like a retarded bumpkin. English language is a shit language.

>>75759126
It is, although French is the masterrace language.
English is only the top language because of the US at this point. It's mostly a barbaric language with a horrible gramatic laws that only is useful because of the amount of latin words that it uses.

>>75759126
That's indeed retarded
English is the most spoken language because the US spread it to the civilized world after they became a superpower post-WW2 (which also happened to be the moment mass media started to exist)
People who think that English is the lingua franca because "it's easy" or because of the British Empire (despite the fact French was still the most important language when it peaked) are uneducated
>>75759093
I just looked it up. The cases are gone and masculine and feminine seem to be merged. I don't see any difference in the declensions or adjective inflections in the standard version of the language. Funny, they look almost exactly like the German articles but without the consonant shift and lazily merged together.
>>75757604
This isn't news, it's been established that English is the international language for businesses for decades. That said I wish I wasn't a fucking dumbass and could learn other languages myself if nothing but for my hobbies.

There is a flexible word order in English.
Also, making up all your words from simple root words isn't a bonus for information-density.
>>75758807
I understand that because your language is imprecise and vague that you might more be able to express yourself properly in a language as intricate and beautiful as the English language but there's no reason to be so hostile. If only you could fully understand the breadth and depth of this wonder of linguistics, the supreme amalgamation of Germanic and Romantic languages. The agendered simplicity. The flexibility. Every minute and unique facet demonstrates the infinite complexity of the human mind. You really don't know what you're missing.
>>75759372
It does. If you've studied Latin or any Slavic language or most languages with explicit case marking, English is loaded down with restrictions and requires complicated gymnastics with prepositions and obscure gapping rules to reorder the constituents of a sentence.
He's not saying you can't strain the limits of the rules, but it's much more awkward than many languages (Hungarian probably included).

>>75759703
We did.
>>75759261
>Is this per word? per syllable? per what?
morphemes per second
This would be affected by the average length of words, the speed of speech, and the complexity of suffixing or whatever declension system the language uses. Languages with excessively long words but no more average morphemes per word would be lower on the list.

Yet even a master of the English language like Shakespeare wished to be a native German speaker to give his plays more depth. Hell, there's even this one weird Korean philosopher who publishes all of his works in German since according to him that's the only language enabling him to thoroughly and unmistakably explain his theoretical constructs.
I do agree though that English is pretty much ideal as a language in most situations.

I know you think you're talking about the laguage itself, but it sounds like you're describing your own difficulties with it as though they're features of the language. Speakers of all languages will use incomplete sentences to save time, and every language has a limited amount of sounds. Japanese might have a smaller range of possible sounds than other languages, and it might be spoken faster (more syllables in a given period of time, though the overall time it takes to convey information is about the same), but that doesn't make it especially difficult to speak or understand compared to languages with a wider range of sounds.

It's true, a huge proportion of English words just straight up steal their spelling AND pronunciation directly from some other language, making it a clusterfuck with alien pronunciation rules littered everywhere.
Case in point: the popular Irish name "Siobhan" is actually pronounced "Shi-vawn". Go and figure that one out.
>>75760151
Ukrainian is same as russian from ergonomic perspective, neither better or worse.Ukrainian has similar words to both russian and polish.Ukrainian can understand 95% of what russian says and 70% of what polish says.Its a topic of debate, in my opinion russian is brotherly language, not mother tongue.Both russian and ukrainian nations didn't exist back then, and both of these languages originate from old slavic.The difference is just that russians and ukrainians interacted with different cultures as well as some local speech always exists, so languages separated to stand-alone languages right now.Natural process.

jews used these languages for the everyday needs, but they always read the Bible and studied the Torah (which is written in Hebrew).
This is why that Jews were better educated, from a young age they learn to read and write in Hebrew and in their local language.
They considered Hebrew as a holy language and it was forbidden to speak it for other purposes.

I thought one of the primary advantages of English was that users tend to just make up new words for things at a more rapid pace compared to other languages, which tend to combine pre-existing words first then make a new word if the combination becomes overused.
The faster rate of updating words lets you more accurately convey up-to-date information easier.
Flip-side of that is you get fucking retarded shit like 'duckface' added tot he lexicon at a faster rate too.

I've come to think that the American concept of "learning a language" is learning some word-to-word translations and stick these learnt words in English phrases. With complete disregard for phonetics.
They then get surprised when foreigners speak to them in English, i.e. the only way to communicate with them without being extremely frustrated.

They are very similar they both have syllables comprised of 2 letters always a constant vowel, in polish certain groups of letters combine together to form a single sound such as cz - e. They both use horonofics though in polish the name itsself is changed.
Polish word for legs: nogami
Japanese romanji for god : gami
Looking at any polish word you cansee the same two letter syllables comprising words as in japanese, the exception is when there is a stand alone vowel witha long sound in jap like o in owari, the same exception holds in polish.

I honestly did not have any difficulty differentiating the pronunciation between the similar looking words.
Probably comes from having subtitles on while watching movies and series. Some language studies actually have made the claim that countries like Funland where people speak better english than in Germany, the reason lies in that Finns have subtitles while Gercucks have dubbed their media. It makes sense, if you hear english being spoken you can adjust your own words to their correct form.

There's actually kind of a funny thing about that. The most common words in English all come from a Germanic background, but in total most words are actually of a French or Latin background. The thing is, most of these words are either effectively synonyms of Germanic words, or rarely used.
For example, "pretty" is Germanic in origin, while beautiful, ravishing, gorgeous, and so on all have Latin/French roots. The general rule is that French/Latin words are more eloquent or technical, while Germanic words are more mundane.
>>75763068
Most Americans who claim ethnicity from X country are usually wrong or just straight up lying.
Many people when coming to America would lie about their origins due to prejudices in certain areas or to blend into cultural neighborhoods. So down the line someone who is really Italian claims they're Irish, because great great great great grandpa Giuseppe changed his name so he didn't get the shit kicks out of him by some Micks.

This is bullshit, there are too many ways in which a language can be used to reduce it down to a magic number some """""intellectuals"""""" came up with.

>>75764221
Also Japanese is only bad for personal communication because of their cultural norms. You can say something as briefly as in English if you want, but their culture makes it so that they beat around the bush a lot while English is way more blunt and direct. Because those cultural norms don't really apply in a new language (since they don't have enough mastery over it to really appreciate all the nuances and talk as if they were talking in Japanese) it seems as it the new language is more straightforward.
If their language wasnt efficient they would be using English for business and industry and they don't. Same with Chinese.

Well once you get past that formalities in Japanese and enter a more casual relationship the language gets more simple. The whole "cultural norm" stuff is only in business and when just meeting someone. The Japanese have no issue dropping all of that once they're comfortable with you.

English has a vast vocabulary and the spelling is difficult. But spelling is really "artifical" problem. If there was some central authority governing language like you have for many languages, spelling could be easily fixed.

How are you defining informative?
English is the best language on the planet for specificity because we depend jack shit on context.
You need to mean something and we don't have a word for it yet? Just slap a bunch of prefixes and suffixes on a word we do have and if necessary steal a word from some other language. Worst case scenario you can hyphenate that bitch.
That's how we end up with words like schadenfreude.
As for complexity, most of our complexity comes from a complete lack of consistency in writing or speaking English with the exception of word order, and even that's a bit fungible for some shit, especially if you involve commas.
We don't have tones, or gendering, or certain sounds like double rs, and we use an alphabet instead of logographic characters so we aren't the terrible tier, but the complete lack of consistent pronunciation is a bit of a bitch.

That is what makes it hard, luckily all my professors are fluent in the language they teach. My german professor last semester, lived in Munster for 8 years. I think with this day in age everyone should atleast attempt to learn a second language.
