The other way to get that result is to live in a *highly* multicultural environment like Penang, Malaysia, where they end up standardizing on a language like English just so that people can communicate with each other.

Also, that sounds a lot like the place where L. L. Zamenhof lived, which inspired him to create #Esperanto
(To be clear, he lived in Europe (I forget exactly where), but it was a very mulicultural city with some cultural friction, partially because of the lack of a shared language)

You keep making me want to learn Esperanto.
The more and more I study French, the more I realize how much of English is just mispronounced French.
@benjaminhollon @gordoooo_z @sotolf
French is just Latin with a goofy Gaul accent. :P
@RL_Dane @gordoooo_z @sotolf
So you're saying that English is mispronounced mispronounced Latin.
@benjaminhollon @gordoooo_z @sotolf
English is a language that can't decide if it's Latin, Saxon, or Danish.
