Cognitive functions applied to language learning versus language construction

[WinnieW]

It is important to define a language. For many Chinese vast majority Europeans speaks the same language. It is relatively easy to study something that belongs to the same language group.

Most european languages are somewhat related to each other... languages from other continents are much different, because of the longer duration of isolated development.

It does not take much to decipher lots of Dutch if you can read English and Swedish (even better would be if you can read German...). Are they really separate languages?

There are three main language families in Europe: Germanic languages, Romance languages and Slavic Languages.
Dutch and English are of Germanic origin,
Spanish and Italian are of Romance origin,
Polish and Hungarian are of Slavic origin.

Adolf ****** was a Beta NF and had a noted difficulty learning languages.

There are exceptions to the rule, ofc.

Let's add the word Indo -European before European and I could agree. As native Finnic speaker that stuff is pretty strange. It is like if you made me learn Estonian or one of Sami languages, Veps or even Karelian (that would be a joke to treat it as separate but it is classified as such) before we could compare. However I do know a Brit who speaks Finnish like a native and that is a huge exception.

It's probably NTR.
