Privatize language, build your own. Secede.
The Danger of the World Speaking English

Why not Old English or (swallow your pride) Welsh?
Robert Phillips
Yes learning other languages can be beneficial. But I was talking about how being permanently exposed to foreign language in your own country can have negative impact on you and your people.
Gets it
Jason Ortiz
Holy shit, you kikes are getting really mad that I'm exposing your goddess.
Retarded semite boat merchants were not a grand civilization. The myth of jewropa and the niggerbull that raped her showed up in Greek works due to contact with them. Stop naming yourself after a kike goddess whose only relevant myth is that Moloch raped her, you are playing directly into their memeoframe.

imo old English is still too close. maybe resurrecting latin.
Aiden Fisher
What makes you think it's close? After the great vowel shift it became practically a different language.
Ethan Perez
yeah, I just watched a video and it looks unintelligible. How hard would it learn to speak?

Too late for that, mate.
Everyone already speaks English.
Remember that Hayao Myasaki movie Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind? I was watching that with my gf yesterday and in that movie, a foreign military force occupies this pleasant valley kingdom for imperialistic reasons. They disarm the villagers and murder their king and then have his daughter Nausicaä order them to submit to their new rulers before taking her hostage. Yet despite all this the villagers remain rebellious. ALL of them. And they talk openly to each other about their desire to revolt. They plan with each other to revolt. And eventually, they do.
What really struck me is how everyone automatically assumed that their kinsmen would be sympathetic to the thought of rebellion. Wondering if your neighbor would want to resist occupation never even crosses anyone's mind. And when the revolt finally takes place, everyone in the valley participates. Everyone fights the invader.
That isn't true in our world. We go around assuming that our neighbors are against us and if one of us raised our personal flag in revolt against the occupiers, many of our own neighbors would fight with their own occupiers against us.
But things used to be more like the movie Nausicaä and the Valley of the Wind. In the past, if another nation invaded your nation you could count on almost all of your kinsmen to oppose them with all their hearts. For generations.
For generations the Serbs and the Bulgarians and Greeks resisted the Turks. Almost everyone in every village resisted the Turks without even considering submitting to their domination. For generations, the Poles resisted Russian, Austrian, and Prussian domination. And they revolted frequently without the fear that their own kinsmen would join with the enemy in putting them down.
How I envy them.

In theory, no harder than German.
In reality, incredibly hard owing to the fact that there's virtually no one you could practice with. Right now, you can't immerse yourself in Old English like you can with living languages and it's pretty hard to find anyone who can even correct you when you get stuff wrong. Something people often forget is that the single most important factor in determining whether you succeed in learning a language is whether or not you get enough practice.
You'd have to try to set up a community and be very active and charismatic in order to keep it alive. It's theoretically possible to resurrect a dead language, but it's only ever happened a few times.
