But that also means it's the richest, and most expressive, and if I
may say so, the most powerful language on the planet, presumably because
of its diverse origins.

I've found that many people believe their mother tongue is the
richest, but that in fact this merely shows that they know little
of other languages.

Of the three languages I know well, each is every bit as expressive
as any of the others, although usually not in quite the same way.
This makes that, even though using each language may be easy enough,
translation from one into another is still hard work.
