@JustGoneNow So did the English, the French, the Dutch, the Spanish, the Portugese and the Russians. And of course also the Iranians and the Hindi und Punjabis.
@Mugin16 My Dad said we are descended from them. I don’t know If that’s really true but I’d like to believe it is. I’m 6’1” with pale white skin and a light dishwater blonde hair color, so I look the part. lol
@JustGoneNow Men are stronger and bigger than women so having women fighting men back when wars were carried out with swords, speers and battle axes was a bad idea. When it happened, it meant that one side did not have enough men to fight.
@Vivaci Most people have no clue that Punjabi and Bengali have so many native speakers. I remember speaking with a lady from Bengal in England and she was delighted that I knew her native language is Bengali and not Hindi. One of my best friends in university was a Punjabi. She spoke also Hindi and Urdu.
@Cierzo It is a list of native speakers. I guess that most Africans who speak French learn it as a second or third language. Far more people in Latin America speak Spanish as their native language than Africans speak French as their first language. I guess the reason for that is that tropical Africa is far more dangerous place to live for Europeans than South America. The Conquistadores brought the dangerous diseases with them to Latin America where up to 90% of all Amerindians died during the 16th century while in Africa it was the Europeans who died from yellow fever, malaria and other diseases and not the natives.
