Your teacher is frankly retarded.

<<Those languages grew in relative isolation, a condition which is less available, and should things continue as they are, will probably be even less so.>>
It's true, however the next stage of language evolution will take place on farly separated planets, taking many years (up to 50+ years if extrasolar system, a few months to years if in solar system) to travel between. So it depends on which languages will conquor which planets. Even communication will be extremely difficult in distant planets (ie 4 light years) so there will be HUGE evolutions.

"My teacher taught me americans are very ignorant so I don't know if they can speak a language well "
1: Your teacher is an idiot.
2: Americans can speak and write their language much better than you, which is quite obvious based on the one sentence you wrote - incorrectly.
|

The sentence was written correctly. The only slight error was a small A rather than a capital, and that doesn't prove that he hasn't learnt his grammar correctly.
For all you know, he might know that the word "Americans" has a capital A but, as is quite common when typing with a keyboard, accidentally wrote it with a small A.
I can also bet that the amount of Americans on here who make similar mistakes must be quite high.

"My teacher taught me americans are very ignorant so I don't know if they can speak a language well "
1)Your teacher must be very wise and has the courage to say what all people think
2)The sentence is correct so you don't know even your language, proving guest is right!
3)Darling, I hope a mothertongue can speak his own language better than a person who aquired it, otherwise you'd be really idiot

It may be grammatically correct but the context does not make a lot of sense, which means that it is incorrect. "Americans" should be capitalized and the inclusion of "a" appears awkward. It is painfully obvious to me that the sentence was cobbled together by a non-native speaker.

A "mothertongue" is the language itself and not the person who speaks it.
You misspelled "acquired."
It should also be "otherwise you'd be really AN idiot. "
You are obviously not qualified to pass any judgement if you are going to make such mistakes.

I am obviously qualified to express any judgement I like because we are not talking about grammar mistakes here, when we talk about grammar then I'll call you. This is not the point, but obviously you like to chenage the subject.
By the way, I speak whenever I want, evidently in your country you are not accustomed to that.

Where are you from?

People in my country are welcome to their opinions; and I am becoming increasingly accustomed to unqualified gobshites who feel it's important "to speak whenever they want." Thank you very much.

''My teacher taught me americans are very ignorant ''
My teacher TAUGHT me Americans WERE very ignorant.
Shifting of the tenses.

Seriously, the rest of the world does itself a great disservice by claiming that Americans are stupid. If that is true, what does that make the rest of you? In a matter of one hundred and twenty years we became a superpower and one of the wealthiest nations on the planet. Some cultures that have existed for several hundred years, despite their efforts, have not managed such success. Add to this the fact that people come from all over the world to attend our Universities and the number of innovations and inventions we've managed to put out in the last 241 years, and I would say that the evidence is against any such claim.
It is true that we have our share of idiots, but I would say that they are not in the majority. And I can think of no country on this planet that has managed to irradiate ignorance. Also, it is made obvious--just by having to make such a defense--prejudice remains rampant throughout the world. Perhaps before you simply accept such a broad generalization about a people, you should question the motives behind that statement. I've found this method to be quite useful in most situations. It’s strange that an American should have to teach such a simple concept to such a “superior intellect”.
