Anyway, i prefer neo-latin (though, french is the last on my neo-latin languages tier list) languages and i find germanic langs to be cool (aside from english) but i don’t feel like to learn any of them so idk how they are.
English is not very coherent and is “simple” only if you look at the basics, if you look at the rest you notice that it has worse then French, for example.
But, again, it’s just personal taste and maybe bias too
Idk. I find the French verb tense system to be pretty difficult to navigate without a lot of gain in expressivity — I think simpler verb tense systems, like Danish, get the trade off better.
English is definitely not at all coherent or simple by any stretch of the imagination.
My number one language feature I miss in English is a case system. I know not all case languages are non-word order languages (I know Arabic requires both), but I think word order languages are constrictive and cases are the only alternative I’m aware of.
Any language that has a coherent pronouns XD
