 ::::Agreed. That was precisely why I provided a counter-example. Every language is equally valid as an object of study and every language (as far as I know) can express any thought. They just do it differently. What irritated me was the chauvinism and I just wanted to express a different opinion. Greek per se is unique. Otherwise it would not be a separate language. But as compounding languages go, it is run of the mill. Other languages may have other devices (and some go about their business in the Greek fashion), but as far as I know, any child can learn any language, and there have been no instances of language pairs, where translation from one to the other was impossible. But I must admit, I was also teasing Sthenel, but not in a mean way. Best of luck
