As a German who speaks french: French is probably the easier language since you don't need to declinate words and only really use 3 forms for time.

Yes but at the same time german writing system is almost phonetic while french have many way to write one sound.

Imagine writing queue and saying Kö

Maybe in a few hundred year when our civilisation has collapsed a writing reforme will finally happened.

[-] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world -1 points 3 months ago

It is not close to being phonetic. It is however quite consistent which is what you were probably thinking of.

[-] pseudo@jlai.lu 7 points 3 months ago

I don't get it. How is phontenic defined then?

[-] iarigby@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

I am not sure about the definition of the word but look up Georgian, 33 letters, 33 sounds. Each letter has one and only one sound, which never ever changes despite the position in the word or the surrounding letters

Nice. Is it a germanic langugage?

[-] iarigby@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

no, it is not even an indo-european language, it has its own separate family.
