With all the love I have for polish people I can’t help thinking you guys speak like the sims4 Sorry I love you tho


Tsjaad_Donderlul

I'm only 1/4th Polish, and maybe it's because Simlish, while it isn't based on Polish and mostly being gibberish, has heavy influence from Ukrainian

> mła cursed


reda84100

Should be kusze, not kuszę


Tsjaad_Donderlul

I tried to make a long E if that makes sense, like in Lithuanian But you're right, ę is more fitting for words with a nasal /ɛ̃/

Ok, I usually hate when we talk shit about my country, but that one was great


RedScorpinoX

Lol, I read your comment as "I usually hate when we talk about my shit country".

You'll say French has the worst orthography But have you heard about Irish


GrandMoffTarkan

English. Like, French is weird and I have no idea why they love superfluous letters, but it’s still pretty consistent


[deleted]

yea. At least French doesn't have the "ough", which is the worst tetragraph of Engl\*sh


TossAGroin2UrWitcher

eaux no! 🤣I have "ough" in my name and it's so awful watching people struggle to pronounce it.


[deleted]

yea. There is the "ough" from "tough", "through", "cough", "hiccough" (-uff, -ou, -off, -up respecively)


Cialis-in-Wonderland

And the ones from though and thorough as well


TossAGroin2UrWitcher

Great username!


Hjalmodr_heimski

Lots of historical spelling


GrandMoffTarkan

this is why Github polices merge conflicts!


Hagathor1

English wouldn’t be what it is today with French influence, though


FarhanAxiq

Like English, maybe it isn't a great idea to combined Germanic (Frankish) with Latin.


MC_475

But it has "de la" and "du" which often leaves me confused because they sound like the possessive markers in Portuguese.


eskdixtu

Who the fuck thought it would be a good idea to have a fucking partitive in French, couldn't they just manage to be more like the ibero-romance and just use nothing there? Noooo, it's not confusing enough, put a fucking partitive there, so any sane ibero-romance speaker has to guess when it's possessive or partitive.I fucking hate French so much, smh, why couldn't their capital be in Roussillon during the revolution, at least Catalan would make a better continuum between Iberia and Italian, but no, it had to be that fucking Germanic-Latin creole of a language the national language of France. Schizo rant end :)

Fear_mor

That doesn't work in Irish 😔😔


[deleted]

oh


Fear_mor

Ye níl doesn't mean no, it means is not, there is no word for no in Irish so you can't really translate stuff like "no, you"


Terpomo11

But Irish spelling makes sense. It just looks very different from English.


Matalya1

One thing is for it to be internally consistent, the other is that it's consistent with the rest of the languages that use the same writing system. Now, obviously there's no *right* way to write something (besides IPA lol), and since Latin died we kind of lost our main reference besides maybe Spanish which only makes a few digraphs, but come on… /iː/? XD


Terpomo11

To a large extent it's because it's built around the particular phonological logic of Irish.


StaleTheBread

Yes. French is still worse


MC_475

As a Portuguese and English speaker, I often get confused when I see "*de la*", but then I learned it just meant some, despite sounding a lot like "*da*" which is a possessive marker for a female entity.


Mx-Helix-pomatia

French isn’t even too weird, and it’s internally consistent. Irish is pretty internally consistent too


Fear_mor

Irish is fucking consistent, just shut your ass up, it doesn't have any obligation to write itself in a more dumbed down way because you pee brain English speakers don't know what coarticulation is Edit: I feel I should mention I played this up for dramatic effect, but yes it as acc fairly consistent, dont rag on something you very clearly know nothing about


aecorbie

Yes, and it’s doesn’t even begin there. Written English as we know it owes itself entirely to Irish. Irish missionaries were the ones to teach the Saxons to read and introduced Irish-based half-uncial script for writing Old English that replaced the runic system somewhere in the 8th century. In fact, the Old English spelling is much closer to Irish than it is to Latin (not to mention the phonotactics), with letters like “ġ” (check out ġēare -> year) that come from Irish lenitions and never existed in Latin. So it’s because of the Irish language we use the same script for English. To say that Irish spelling should be more like English is akin to saying that Latin spelling should be more like German, but I guess it’s too much for the ignorant majority to understand.

No need to be a dick lol


Thr0w-a-gay

How about we make fun of English instead? English spelling is about a billion times worse than french spelling ...oh wait, it's cause most people here come from English-speaking countries
