Mongolian. Like the barbecue.

The French, whenever you see an English word and none of the letters make sense, we stole it from the French.

yet another reason to hate the fr*nch 🤢
- What? I thought it was the main one.
- French bashing is overdone and unfunny
whenever you see an English word and none of the letters make sense

that just about describes half the English vocabulary
- I recently learned the correct spelling of the word prerogative and I still haven't recovered.
C'est la vie
- C'est la vie
  
  C'est la guerre
  
  C'est la pomme de terre
Déjà vu
Honestly, the original question was a good one. That snarky reply in the original picture was pretty douchey. There's a lot of interesting history behind linguistics.

we stole it from the French

The French invaded England and forced them to adopt their horrific clown language. FTFY.
- Actually the Normans, who were Vikings who rocked up in France and caused such a stink that the crown granted them lands in the north to shut them up. 1066 was basically a succession crisis between three cousins vying for the English crown.

Those damn mongorians!

That's one of my all time favourite South park episodes.

Getting the local Chinese restauranteur to build the city wall... because the Chinese are good at building walls.
- Shitty walls

In Viking's defense: of all the Romance languages French is the most like Latin being spoken and written by a drunk hick with no formal education.

I recently saw a tiktok (therefore I'm an expert) that showed that Old French was pronounced pretty much exactly how it was spelled.

Every language simplifies it's pronunciation over time, but usually they alter the spelling when they do, but French just said "miss me with that shit, dog" and decided just to change the rules about pronunciation instead
- I mean, I Heard that French monks were paid by the letter scribed, rather than the word, so they just put extra letters into everything using made up rules about spelling.
- Probably yes, but the rules are simple enough today that you don't need a PhD to explain though thought, or tie vs tier, or.... wait for it.... live vs live, or record vs record, read vs read.
Being racist to the Gauls I see
- Actually, I blame the Franks.
How could you say something so controversial yet so true?

Kuno:

who the fuck decided rendezvous would be pronounced like that

You:

Poor monolinguals. They can't seem to understand that other languages besides English exist

Kuno:

what the fuck did you just call me

Kunoesse:

He called you Mongolian

kunoese nuts
- Lmao gottem
We really need to finish this game. So many little gems spread across the way
It sounds like something Encyclopedia could say

They say being bilingual is only impressive if your first language is English. Since you are expected to know English anyways. Is it true?

Bilinguals aren't impressive at all. I think most people are bilinguals. Apparently, according to Journal of Neurolinguistics, we have more bilinguals (43 percent of the world population) rather than monolinguals (40 percent).
There are trilingual regions in my country. And one neighbouring country is mostly trilingual too(2 official languages + 1 foreign)
Well nobody can objectively force something to impress you or not impress you. But most people speak more than one language natively or on a regular basis, hell just short of 2 billion people (1/4 the world's population) alone are from the Indian subcontinent region, and there the high variation/diversity of languages throughout the region make speaking 3-4 languages well the norm.

Similar story with Indonesia/Papua New Guinea. And most people in Central Asia and many European parts of the former USSR speak Russian as a 2nd language (nearly all Kazakhs, Ukrainians, Belarusians, and most Baltic people speak Russian to a high fluency, while also often speaking a 2nd and sometimes 3rd native language).

Then you consider language in European countries like the Netherlands (Dutch/English), Belgium (French/Dutch/English), Sweden (Swedish/English), Finland (Finnish/Swedish), Denmark & Norway (Denmark or Norwegian / some obscure highly derived dialect that's different enough from the standard and common languages to be counted), Spain (Castillian/some other Spanish language), Italy (Standard Italian/some other Italian language). I'd say at least a third of Europeans speak more than one language natively and two thirds can speak more than one language well at all.

Despite being a massive continent, one thing that can be said about almost all of the socities there is that most of them are polylingual. Probably less so in Arabic-speaking majority countries.

Really, monolingualism is only the norm for anglo countries – especially the US, UK, Australia, New Zealand. Not so much in like half of Canada. I think it could be said that monolingualism is the norm in most of China too, but I'm not so sure about that. AFAIK it's pretty mixed in Latin America but overall a majority of the people there speak only Spanish or Portuguese, save for places like Peru & Uruguay.
I met a couple in Vanuatu - one of the world’s most language dense nations - whose mother tongues were mutually unintelligible, so they communicated using the country’s official language, Bislama. A lot of bilingual people don’t speak English. Plenty of Eastern Europeans don’t speak English (unpopular during communist rule) but speak say German or Russian as well as Serbocroatian or whatever.
When someone asks me which languages I speak, I say Italian.

"…and?" "Well, English of course"

"…and?" "…and that's it", I'd admit embarassed.

Among young educated people in most of Europe it is common to speak at least two languages beside your native one.

Monolinguals are as culturally diverse as Mongolians. Just staying in one place, no need to expand horizons or learn anything new.

The last time the Mongolians decided to expand their horizons, it didn't work out so well for a decent chunk of the rest of the world. I think it's perfectly fine they choose to keep things simple, tbh.

The thing about Mongolians is that their barbecue is not the traditional Korean barbecue.

I mean, it's pronounced like it's spelled except for the Z.

And the 'S'. And to be fair, the 'OU' could have just been a 'U'. Also, the 'E' could have been an 'A'.

Randevu.
- Randevu
  
  interestingly, thats what the turkish word for rendezvous is.
  
  in turkish, words are written exactly as theyre pronounced at all times.
  
  just a funny sidenote :3
- How about Randaevoo ?
- Rondevu
- Its not pronounced randevou though, more like ron-day-voo
- In French, words spelled with just "u" use a different sound than those spelled with "ou". "ou" (in la Métropole) is similar to the sound in English "do"/"too"/"sue"/"shoe" etc. while "u" is similar to Standard German long "ü"/"üh" like in "Lüge" but the German one is relatively reduced and isn't quite as frontal/strained/constricted.
- I'll grant you the 's' but it's still more or less pronounced like it's spelled. You can replace 'ou' with 'u' but it still sounds right with 'ou'.
  
  English pronunciation in general is fucked up lol. You can never really tell how an 'e' or an 'a' will be voiced 🤣
- 'a' is not pronounced like 'en' in french
  
  I think it could be spelled rendévou though
- E should definitely be an A or even an O. Shouldn't really have an E.
  
  Rän-di-vü
  
  TIL the pural for Rendezvous is Rendezvous. You just pronounce the S
But sometimes words in English have silent Zs like in the word "rendezvous".
Rendezvous isn't even that bad. What really grabs my goat are the pronunciations for colonel and choir.

First Mongolians make the NoSQL database of my nightmares and now this... When will they learn!?

I think you’re mistaken. It was the civilization of Mango Trees that made that database.

I believe the proper insult is "Mongoloid" thank you very much!

Monolingoloid

It should be spelled "Rondevu"

So are they aware that they're trying to shame a joke account that's already doing a bit?

Do they think they're winning? Are they in on the bit? What sort of cataclysm has to happen for Twitter people to wake up and go "oh my god, I WAS THE ASSHOLE THIS ENTIRE TIME, WHAT AM I DOING HERE"?

I'm glad I get to wipe my ass with what's left of them without having to touch their vile community, I'll call that a win.

"Mongoloid? Who you callin' a mongoloid?!"
