Talk:English is a beautiful language

English is a beautiful language
Not sure why this would be a useful phrase. Plus all the translations are wrong since they each refer to their own language rather than to English. --WikiTiki89 14:49, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. See also the translation tables of do you speak English and I don't speak English. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 14:51, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
 * We could fix the translation tables to be more like those do you speak English and I don't speak English, but that doesn't change the fact that this is not a useful phrase in any way. --WikiTiki89 15:03, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
 * What would you suggest to be fixed in the translation tables? You said "all the translations are wrong since they each refer to their own language", but do you speak English and I don't speak English also have translation tables for sentences referring to their own languages. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 15:50, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Those are obviously not translations, they are pari passu expressions that serve the same pragmatic functions. "Translations" is simply wrong. If we are to keep such things we need a more accurate header or a new way of presenting such things. Until we produce an acceptable alternative Delete. DCDuring (talk) 17:40, 6 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete. Complimenting the beauty of specific languages is beyond the reasonable scope of a useful phrasebook. bd2412 T 16:22, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm under the impression that some common and nice things to say would be acceptable. We do have you have beautiful eyes. See also Category:English phrasebook. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 11:03, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete (as well as the so-called translations) - useless. SemperBlotto (talk) 04:34, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete, using something like the lemming heuristic for the phrasebook: does not find much, unlike . --Dan Polansky (talk) 12:43, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not common enough. Not a phrasebook phrase. ---&#62; Tooironic (talk) 12:47, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
