What is the supreme language, at least, of the major ones?
I know I didn't use all the most widely spoken, but I tried to pick ones that some people are familiar with.

 

[IglooDame]

Define 'supreme'?

 

[s.c.dude]

well of course, the launguge that the most powerful country uses

 

[soul_warrior]

supreme -
1. Greatest in power, authority, or rank; paramount or dominant.
2. Greatest in importance, degree, significance, character, or achievement.
3. Ultimate; final: the supreme sacrifice.

all in all, defines ENGLISH quite well

 

[Rossiya]

well the one that the most powerful country uses

mmmm.... outer mongolian?

 

[Eukaryote]

German, such a beautiful languge, sounds like caveman speak.

Interpretive dance!

Interpretive dance!

Ah, the language of people stuck in the 60's...
I voted German, because it is a lot like English, in that it has "it," but still doesn't have all the silly exceptions of English.

 

[IglooDame]

It would be hypocritical of me to answer anything other than English, given that it is the language of this multinational forum.

 

[Azadre]

Arabic for the win...

 

[s.c.dude]

i voted english also cause we can say thunder

African American Vernacular English be tight

 

[Cuivienen]

English, obviously. Other languages are more common (Mandarin, Hindi and arguably Spanish), but no language is currently more universal.

i voted english also cause we can say thunder

I'd vote serbian because we can say grom.

 

[Sidhe]

English is becomming a common tongue, that I can really get behind, the whole world talking in a common language can't be a bad thing, one day we might have this situation we're not that far off now. But then English may be a meeker nation these days, but you can't help but be amazed at just how far we spread this bastardised tongue

 

[The Last Conformist]

Albanian is where it's at, you silly twerps.


Edit: And yeah, what the "#¤&/#¤/%¤#"&¤ is up with the list having German but no Hindi, Urdu, Arab, or Japanese?!?

 

[s.c.dude]

[Perfection]

i thought hindu was a religion

Hindu is a religion, Hindi is a language.

Vowels, what a wonderful thing!

 

[Fox Mccloud]

No Arabic

No Portuguese

No Hindi

No Urdu (Which is really the same as Hindi, I think)

You really missed a lot of big ones. This poll sucks.

 

[Perfection]

No Urdu (Which is really the same as Hindi, I think)

Well, it's exactly not the same. But they are highly related.
