What is the most manly language?

I think the most manly language is Mandarin. The grammar is very concise and to the point, like man's speech! It doesn't fuck around with sounding pretty like French, and also it's harsh and authoritive sounding. If you want languages that make you sound like a piece of limp lettuce stick with Swedish and Italian.

If under "manly" you mean stubborn, arrogantly authoritative and ill-tempered, Japanese and Arabic are obvious choices.

(Despite or because of the harsh way they sound, those languages are plenty of elaborate courteous formulations BTW)

Native American languages are often extremely "manly" too. Some of them sound strangely similar to Arabic.


"If you want languages that make you sound like a piece of limp lettuce stick with Swedish and Italian."

I beg to differ. Venetian accent is indeed outrageously effeminate, but usual speech in Piedmont and in some Southern dialects is reasonably manly.

German.

Mandarin is. Rural Chinese languages that are about to become replaced by Mandarin are even manlier. You see, China has a higher male population than a female one (of which they have a huge shortage). Every year rural women even abort their daughters because they need to have a son. Hopefully they manage to uproot such a barbaric tradition, which is also a huge source of the kidnappings of women for sex slavery over there!

Chinese aren't manly. What the fuck. Where would you get the idea that they're manly? Chiiiing Chooong! Wiiing Wanng! They sound like shrieking cats. Cats aren't manly. The most manly language is obviously AMERICAN ENGLISH. It is the language of POWER.

there's gonna be a few million chinese dudes who won't be able to get laid because of that sex imbalance. i wonder what kind of problems that will cause.

as for manliness, it's obviously bantu

Clearly the Taliban (especially a decade or two ago) are the manliest guys around. They certainly didn't take any guff from their womenfolk, or the menfolk either.


Their language was Pashtun (or Pashto?) or something like that.

Ok, enough of this blah-blah bullshit. If you want to claim a language is manly, you need CONCRETE EVIDENCE.

I propose:

What have you got to offer?

Mandarin sounds like chicken voice .

IMHO Arabic is the language of misogynistic closet homosexuals.

Clearly finnish or hungarian Afrikaans is on the list to i spose

Is this is what the "manly" Mandarin is all about?

Screaming like a girl is manly? No wonder there are so many Hollywood movies of Chinese gays with white boyfriends.

Remember the incident of the French diplomat with the Chinese opera singer, famously theatricalized as "M. Butterfly"?

Manly Mandarin? Yeah right, good joke.

So, if I get this straight: too much men don't guarantee manliness, but makes the abundance of men effeminate as a substitute for the lack of females? Would that be an accurate estimation?

spanish and greek

<<No wonder there are so many Hollywood movies of Chinese gays with white boyfriends. >>

Yeah because Hollywood is a real authority on Chinese people. Most Americans have no awareness of people outside their own town.
