He was mother tongue Italian. His family was from Tuscany. French soldiers call him "l'italien". He spoke French with a strong Italian accent.

He was the greatest general modern italians ever produced - and the only good one. Besides, his soldiers weren't italians.

Everybody has flipsides.
In spite of his failures, Napoleon achieved a lot.

Btw, this is supposed to be a language forum, isn't it?

Not True. His soldiers were also Italians. André Masséna, was born Andrea Massena in Nice (Nizza Marittima).

If he was mother tongue Italian, why in the movies he speaks with French Accent?

Yes, other Latin person smashing German people. Wow! Rome, Spain and France were incredible Latin powers. England too.

So, if you count important Empires: Latin Empires 3- German & British 1.


Latin people win!!!!!!!

What the shit are you on about? Languages are inanimate and cannot speak... The word 'speak' by definition cannot take a personal pronoun as a direct object. What universe are you living in mofo?

Napoleon was some kind of theatralic overestimized fool and spoke the language of blood and foolish pride. Pol Pot, Mao and Stalin sit together with him in hell and play bridge....
