Because it is a practically dead language.

American is the new Latin. Feelsgoodman.

unlike Jews in Israel, they lack the sufficient joie de vivre to accomplish such a feat as reviving a dead language

Science was published in Latin up to about 300 years ago. Why did that stop?

Make it not dead then?

No, it's a constant reminder that the EU is nothing but the America's pawn.
Britain and America's influence literally live rent free in your heads.

>>182378566
Well our national identities are not linked to latin.
>>182378576
Many different languages were used for all sorts of publications. As the respective languages of a country developed, they slowly increased in popularity. French was also a very popular language all over Europe during the 16th, 17th and 18th century but it also lost its popularity eventually.
>>182378601
Why should we?
>>182378657
English has (for better or worse) become the lingua franca of the world. There is no point in not using english.
>>
>>182378842
>Why should we?
Because you guys need to stop speaking my language and get your own.
>>
>>182378657
Oké then by that logic USA is controlled by the UK.

Even if they did change the language its not like usa will stop having power over Europe lol

Other way around actually. But the relationship still remains.

We have our own. Every publication of the EU is translated into every language of the respective member states.
But as I've stated before: English is the lingua franca of the world.
>>
>>182379095
Europe isn't the world
>>
>>182378501
Because french replaced latin which then died
>>
>>182379095
Get your own lingua franca.

The European language will develop from the abomination that is Bruxel English.
It's practically a CB for the UK to attack us.
>>
Why would you force kids to learn a dead language with no media to communicate with other Europeans when they can naturally learn English online and have access to infinite media and communicate with people all over the world? Even French or Spanish would be infinitely more useful than Latin

It never did

>>182378501
Why would we? We stopped using Latin as a vehicular language in like the high middle ages
We spoke French and now we speak English. I don't see the point in reviving Latin. It's an old and limited language.

If people hated English so much they would go back to French. Contrarily to Latin which was mostly confined to Catholic Europe, French was spoken by everyone, even in the New World before English took over, and it was much more widespread, not only confined to nobles and clergy, but bourgeois and anyone with a good education.
Now everybody can learn English, in all classes of société. Itd be stupid to change it for no reason

>>182378501
They will speak Russian soon

So then why bother teaching German in German schools?

>my schools are terrible so uhh

>>182378501
because non catholics wouldseethe

>>182379487
Because we use it to communicate with each other and it is our language.
Why is Welsh still being taught?

>>182379636
The flag is already an allusion to the Crown of Mary.
Just take it to its logical conclusion.
>>
>>182378553
No.
We have billions of ears listening to us and our ongoings at all times.
It's rough enough we have to share it with other native Anglophones but the whole world?
I want some cultural insularism.
>>
>>182379487
Nigga you're a native English speaker you have no say in this
>>
>>182379745
>Why is Welsh still being taught?
Because Welsh is the language of the Welsh people, culture, and history
>>
>>182378501
>latin
Which version?
The bronze age one? The classic one, the one used in north, the one uses in spain? Or the ecclesiastic one created by larping priests?
Also, while latin was the official language of rome, the patrician language was classic greek (not modern greek), and they too liked to we wuz trojan and sheit.

Read a book, faggot.

Lingua latina ad litteras classicas legendum vel grammaticam magis intellegendum discenda est. Illi nihil est alia utilitas hodie, nam in civitate vaticana solum lingua officialis est.

>>182380589
I understood that lol

>>182380276
Classical Latin is too difficult, too alien and doesn't have the vocabulary for any practical use in the modern world.

Some standardized Medieval Latin with extra vocabulary for computers and modern technology, like the one used by the Church to this day, might do the trick.

But Europe is also Celtic, Germanic, Slav, etc.
English is probably a better compromise as it is a Germanic language with a lot of French and Latin vocabulary so it makes everyone happy.

Also it has a huge ass vocabulary, which is useful for practical uses, and it's easy to learn apart from its transcription rules and pronunciation.

That's why we all have adopted Euro English, which also happens to be the global language of business due to the USA dominance.
Ironically the UK has left the EU but it's not unthinkable that in a few decades it will join the Union again so I say let's just keep it.

Reddit spacing consist of one empty line after every break line because reddit uses some weird version of markdown.
I gave one line to separate my personal insult towards you.

Are you not tired of beig always wrong?

English already is the "lingua franca" for business and research.
What other language can you use from Portugal to Japan, and from Scotland to South Africa?
And it's not english fault that americans happen to use it.
