a reminder that Quebec actually does have a language police, meaning that in France the Colonel's chicken place is called "KFC" but in Quebec it's "PFK" (hell Quebec even calls podcasts "balado", short for "baladodiffusion", but the metropolitan French language people hate Quebecois neologisms, to which I say: tabarnak d'Francais) Troy Queef has issued a correction as of 22:01 on May 28, 2020 |

many non-english language countries have laws to protect their languages it's because it is seen as a good to be able to function in one's own society in one's native language, which also happens to be the basis of most national states

They never gave up on the whole imperialism thing, they just took it down a couple of notches after WW2. Protecting the French language and assertively maintaining the Francosphere in Africa keeps their foot in the door to kick that poo poo up again as the anglo empire collapses.

its fun that the United States is a multilingual country with ongoing fascist waves to make English the national/only language often brought forth by the people that had their language taken from them during the last wave

They're pretty good at the soft power game! In Africa they've outlasted all the other European countries, the Soviets, and now likely the USA. With those kind of ties they're likely to hold out against China too. It's the sort of thing that makes post EU Europe more uncertain that it should be on paper. Germany has the advantage in people, money, industry etc, but they just seem fundamentally garbage at the empire game. They can't hold something for more than five minutes without trying to destroy it. The French know how to put down roots.

The contrast between the evolution of the French and English languages is pretty fascinating. French: the language and its vocabulary are governed by an elite and storied institution whose life serving members are named The Immortals. English: the wild west of languages. Spelling and pronunciation are bonkers because words are freely imported from foreign languages.

Subvisual Haze posted:The contrast between the evolution of the French and English languages is pretty fascinating. French: the language and its vocabulary are governed by an elite and storied institution whose life serving members are named The Immortals. this is because english is massively hegemonic and effectively the majority language for a bunch of purposes. people have to be forced to use e.g. norwegian in engineering documents because otherwise engineering documents are all going to be in english, making them even less accessible to ordinary citizens. it then follows that there need to be formal standards as to what constitutes norwegian language or some rear end in a top hat trying to be clever would just write english and claim it as a norwegian dialect when the icelanders make up new words for weird poo poo it's easy to ridicule, but it's also a necessary measure to keep poo poo available to the public. even for people like myself, english is definitely a second language, and my expression is much more constrained than it is in my native language there's also something to be said for preserving diversity in terms of language as a good in itself, but that's the cultural conservative argument and not the official line as to why this sort of policy exists

Because... nous, nous y parvenons facilement. But yeah the big problem as usual is that podcast is a super small and easy to pronounce word and the selected new word is a mouthful. Isn't that just firefly english wins the language wars because it doesn't actually give a poo poo and cheats at everything and follows no rules
