That is hilarious.

Am I seeing things? Am I certain this person is an idiot? Am I bold enough to make such an assertation? Yes. Yes, I am.

My bachelor thesis was on this topic, so I know a thing or two about it 😅

We took your countries and we took your words... like the British Mueseum, if it ain't nailed down, we takin' it! If it is nailed down, we takin' that too...

Ovid is egg, idiots. Oviraptor - egg thief.

What in the heavens? Then again, conservatives are full of shite anyways.

Well, turns out the words 'I', 'me', 'you', 'they', 'them', 'us', and 'we' aren't real because they're not backed by science /s

Wey aye man.. divvent kna what I'm.ganna dee the day like

Yes. Greetings and salutations, Baby. I find you quite adorable. Do you concur with my assessment? I assure you, it is correct.

For anyone curious: science now suggests that baby talk is genetically ingrained in our behavior with babies because it does help them learn language faster. They pick up on the basic sounds of language and can imitate these more quickly and thus get to talking and building on these skills much sooner than trying to teach them multisyllabic words right out of the womb.

I think this is the tweet where he goes on to reveal that the children are actually cats

Both of my kids had above average vocabulary skills in school and both had "baby talk" used when they were little. Hearing adults with good vocabulary skills every day probably had something to do with it.

My niece is 1 and can hold conversations. We baby talk her, but she hears more than that.😂 It's not stunting her.

Uh huh. And no doublt they make up poopy toilet jokes, just like every other little kid.

And everybody clapped

They're taking it to the extreme, but they have the right idea. Talk to little ones normally and avoid baby talk, they'll learn speech quicker and there will be fewer bad speech habits to break later.

This is definitely not true ... I had a friend once advise me of this gibberish and my children's vocabulary and pronunciation is much better than any other children x

I actually think he's right. It doesn't matter if they don't initially pronounce them correctly. The issue is understanding the right word to convey your actual and real meaning.

Not true of course. That entirely depends on where you are from. There was research on that. Results on most difficult languages in general : 1. Mandarin 2. Arabic 3. Telugu 4. Japanese 5. Polish 6. Turkish 7. Russian 8. Vietnamese 9. Finnish 10. Korean

And what sound would that be, exactly?

isnt often pronounced off-ten

So.... Klingon XD

I... don't understand how learning Hindu or Swahili would be EASIER if you already know Mandarin vs. already knowing English XD The language families for Hindu, Swahili, and Mandarin are all drastically different.

That’s why the word “y’all” was invented 😉

Oh, please…life is too short as it is.

Someone please help, it's 4:10am and my brain is not home. Spanish from Spain and Spanish from Mexico are THE SAME LANGUAGE, right? (Other than regional differences.) It's just called español in Mexico and castellano in Spain. I'm adopted, but my family is Mexican, and I learned Spanish as a child. We've had exchange students from Spain and I was able to understand them perfectly and converse with them just fine. These three people are just idiots, right?!

If a train is travelling at a speed of 1 language per week ...

Bruh... from 22+ years of dating my Chinese boyfriend, I've learned a LOT about the written Chinese language. A lot of it is pictographic in origin, so yes, certain characters will "resemble" the word they represent (like the words for net, fire, farm/field, person, meat.) But this is due to literal THOUSANDS of years of language development and has zero to do with a fictional white man who wore a robe and sandals. They are correct above with the depiction for the character for "rest" in that it contains the character for "person"... but it DOES NOT have a Christian "cross" in it. Written Chinese existed long before people invented Jesus and the Christian cross.

They're describing how they "stole" the language as if it was a heist.

The 63 million people in the world who speak Italian as a first language would like a word (and some gestures) with whomever posted this.

Northern Indiana subcontinent?!?!?

Those first three are the stupidest descriptions I've ever seen, and I've seen a racist description of what the word "Covid-19" means.

lol, my Chinese boyfriend would like a word with whomever posted this.

To be fair, most of our technology is MADE in China these days...

Klingon!!

It MUST be true, because English has the word "park" and there's a Korean last name that's spelled "Park"!!! PROOF!!!! /s

No. A tonal language means if you get the tone wrong, you might be saying, "Your wife is a big hippo," instead of what you wanted to say, which was, "Highly enjoyable."

Yeah, you know, those Ancient Greeks that are totally immortal and still living in Italy... we had some movies about these immortals, it's a series of films called "Highlander"...
