    Hungarian ia the superior language, everything is pronounced how it’s written, no genders, date format is close to iso 8601 wxcept with dots instead of -, you literally just add stuff to the word to change its meaning.

      Also:

      • No guesswork about where to place the emphasis because it’s always the first syllable (glaring at Slavic languages)
      • No guesswork about pronunciation beause every letter has exactly one (glaring intensely at Russian)
      • No guesswork about how to construct diacriticised glyphs or diphthongs because everything is defined in the alphabet

      In general, Uralic languages are always superior to Germanics, and only lose against Nordics because of the cool factor.

        Multiple pronunciations means you can choose any of those options and be correct.

        The first two are also applicable to English. I still don’t understand half of English poetry because my native-french-speaking ass doesn’t even have an intuitive concept of syllabic stress, and English pronunciation is so beyond fucked it’s not funny. “It’s pronounced read and not read” “-ough like tough not dough” how about STFU.

      if you’re willing to go back several hundred years then everything in english was also written how it was pronounced. might not be worth it though
