If you had to teach neanderthals a language in 2 months

:laugh: <--- not a link.

Fine.
-Let's say you knew all the languages in the world.
-Then what would you teach em.

 

[GhettoFob]

ebonics

 

[Eli]

...

 

[Shawn]

?

 

[mugs]

French. And then I'd laugh at them and call them cheese-eating surrender monkeys

Seriously:
Esperanto would probably be the easiest to teach them, because it was designed to "make sense"
Spanish would be nearly as easy and infinitely more useful.
But my answer would have to be English, because it's the only language I speak fluently. How can I teach someone a language I can't speak myself?

 

[Cattlegod]

Klingon

 

[HamburgerBoy]

English, for the same reasons mugs stated.

 

[Sphexi]

French. I figure, they got the hygiene down already.

 

[Ricemarine]

here... I clarified the question a bit heh.

 

[jaysgirl]

American Sign Language. I think that would be the easiest. The gestures are often taught to children adopted from other countries; they pick up on the hand movements much quicker than the spoken language.

 

[dug777]

Esperanto :laugh:

I'd teach them Australian so they could understand what the hell Dug is talking about half the time...

Hey dug777, you think you can get synthdude2001 to speak Austrailian in 2 months? Since of course, we all know he's... hmm.. is he one? :laugh:

 

[LeiZaK]

I would teach them the neaderthal language...

 

[loup garou]

ASL <---not a question.

 

[shimsham]

jive

 

[HardcoreRobot]

american english, or java

Oh, yeah...well...I'd teach them...DSL! DSL is three better than ASL, and is faster to boot! It's gonna be hard for them to make binary electrical signals with their face....but they'll learn....if they know what's good for em.

Neanderthals were a different species weren't they? Could you just teach them a language?

Perhaps he's speaking hypothetically.

 

[Boztech]

I'd probably be a lot more well-suited to actually answer this question if I did know all the languages in the world.

The obvious answer would be Latin since it is the common base for most all other major languages.
