First, it was part tongue-in-cheek, part good advice. As
"na'drangheta" has pointed out, there *are* sound reasons for learning
Romanian for *specific* people, but for Joe Blow, studying Romanian is
as useless as studying Danish or ASSyrian or Finnish.
Then following this reasoning the average Joe should only learn English,
French, Spanish or German!
Exit French, enter Mandarin.
French is widely spoken in Europe (let alone some Arab countries as Lebanon,
Syria, etc, many Asian countries as well many African ones) by non-native
speakers, it's also the international language of diplomacy so I think it
deserves its place among the languages "worth learning".
Of course Mandarin should be included but I never made a complete list, I
just picked up some of the main languages randomly.
I am interested in that mongrel
language and how it deviates from other Romance languages.
Can you please define why are you calling Romanian a "mongrel language"?
Fairly obvious to me. Like English. Or Maltese.
Not to an inexperienced person like me, so could you please elaborate?
And if English according you is a "mongrel language" then please tell me
which are the non-mongrel languages actually spoken today (that is excluding
the dead languages like ancient Greek, Latin, etc).
Thanks
