Are native speakers of English proud?

I like the fact that my language is currently the 'international' language, but I would prefer to have as a native language one that was more morphologically complex.

<<Daniel Elazar wrote about the political cultures of the US, but it could very well fall into social culture as well... Although his map of the US is in need of being updated, it still holds a high degree of explanatory power. Here's a pretty good overview of it: http://academic.regis.edu/jriley/421elazar.htm>>

Have you read "Nine Nations In North America", Skippy? That gives a good cultural map, too.

Even the traditional Native American cultural map follows the same broad outlines as the present-day "dominant culture" cultural zones -- not so surprising if you assume that land use and economics were the major forces behind both!

The Native American language map seems to follow some of the same geographic lines, although it gets a little more complicated because sometimes people with related languages settled in very different regions and pursued different lifestyles, as with the Algonquian groups, and there are also more language groups than major cultural areas. (Kind of like Europe.)

Don't worry. English is complicated enough. There is no need to make i more "morphologically complex". Any non-native speaker who tells you that it is a simple language probably does not have a very good grasp of English. I see it all the time.
