maddogx 13 Posted June 1, 2007 I'm sure there are plenty of french ArmA forums around. Perhaps here. I hardly think they will split this forum up into multiple languages, apart from English (world language) and Czech (devs native language). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

l mandrake 9 Posted June 1, 2007 Pointless topic. I suggest: 1. Delete your figures. 2. Go and look up how many people have English as EITHER their first or SECOND language (compared to Mandarin, Arabic, French etc.). 3. Cross-reference these figures with statistics on internet penetration by country. 4. Update your post. 5. Ask for moderator to close this thread? Mais au serieux ca ne sert a rien mon ami!

stainer 0 Posted June 1, 2007 The only reason so many people speak Mandarin Chinese (Just over one billion native and secondary speakers according to Wikipedia, or try this) is because the population of China is so large, very few, if any, countries other than China actually use it. I think you'll find that whilst English might not be the most widely spoken language, some of the largest global powers have it as their native language and therefore if other countries wish to do business with them a grasp of English is needed. Besides, even though the British Empire has collapsed, some of our customs have rubbed off, the language for instance. I think if you look at this forum as an example you'll find that a significant proportion of members are not native English-speakers, yet they have mastered the language to be able to get around. I realise this is incredibly ignorant on my behalf, expecting people to learn my language, but I admire those who are bilingual, something which is beyond me. Sorry for the offtopic, just thought I had to show the other side of the story. As for French forums Armed Assault.info has a French section. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maddogx 13 Posted June 1, 2007 It seems my minor remark has started a discussion about which language is the world language. This isn't what the thread is about. Since the OPs question seems to have been answered, this topic should be closed before it turns into yet another flamefest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seriously what? trick and propaganda, your questions fair enough but to say this, being new to the forums i am dumbfounded if this is the level of conversation that posts turn in to. And your questions been answered are you volunteering to moderate these French forums? Is it our fault the attempted French Empires failed in the 16th to 19th century.

BlackScorpion 0 Posted June 1, 2007 Let's see... English is an official language in 68 countries (30 for French), and has rougly 350 million native speakers (around 70-80 million for French). Plus about double that as a secondary language. Plus around 89% of schoolchildren in EU study English. about 32% study French. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, not Hong Kong, Chinese mainland! Hundreds of millions of Chinese people learning English!!! Wake up to the reality!!!! According to research by the British Council, "English has official or special status in at least seventy-five countries with a total population of over two billion." Two billion!! That's two billion people able to read and speak English to some degree!!! A third of the entire population of the planet... That's why we have this 'impression' that English is the global language.

SoldierIsNotHistory 0 Posted June 1, 2007 Just trying to be objective We can have an official forum with anyLanguageSpokeOnTheWorld part. First, each forum you have, each information is dispatched, more information losed, the forum become useless English forum seems to be the best way to discuss about our favorite game and stuff around it. Most of people are able to understand basic english, some can write, other can talk... But having english as official forum langage does not mean that all moderator have to be english (or czech) i think. That's my point of view. Anyway, for having a place to discuss in french, you have ArmA-Fr.net Sorry for my english Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gazmen 0 Posted June 1, 2007 Plus around 89% of schoolchildren in EU study English. about 32% study French. This must be changed, we don't need VERRES in EU (Where is, Wear, Were, Whore, Aware from the root VERRES [pig in Latin])... Learning it don't means using or assimilate it. Also know that a lof of african arab russia learn chinese... For chinese learning english in China is possible, but useless for them, they never meet english people since they are gone... Since china help africa to build infrastructure more & more people are learning it... English is an uglysh language, made for strange people, it's make people servile by the use of rules in writing & prononciation... (The english phonetics is disastrous) I hope that the EU will choose an invented language like esperanto to speak in all europe, like this everybody will be happy (or even a merged language of Spanish, French, Italian, English, Romanian)... For those who lieke to speak english they can go in north america or australia ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maddogx 13 Posted June 2, 2007 English is an uglysh language, made for strange people, it's make people servile by the use of rules in writing & prononciation... (The english phonetics is disastrous) Sorry, but are you just trying to provoke the native english speaking people here? I'm from England and I'm not happy with my mother tongue being called ugly, or myself being indirectly called "strange". Your original question was whether there will be a french section so, since no one with any authority has answered that, I suggest you send someone like Shadow a PM. Otherwise this is just a pointless discussion about which language is best. It's beyond my comprehension why this thread hasn't been unceremoniously locked, or at least moved to "Off Topic" where it belongs.
