Both are not exceptionally simple, there is the entire Turkic family and most of the austronesian family and vast swathes of the world are filled with things like Indonesian such as Quechua. The problem is that Europe won in linguistics in the first world. The rest of the world can't all have stuff like Russian, can they? Things are far more stable over there.

Would you rather I have an 18th century view of linguistics? 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

No, I would like you to read the post you quoted again carefully before you take it as an
opportunity to stab features of languages you hate. You entirely missed her point in your haste to criticize. As for the 18th century comment... The only possible replies to that would be insulting. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

I'm not implying you have an 18th century view at all, but that an 18th century view is what I am against and ask what you would think if I was an 18th century believer. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

It doesn't matter anyway. None of my points have ever been disproven, the common tactic now is to just act "appalled" and take some moral high ground no matter how upsetting the truth of what languages are like due to their features and because of that there are an extreme amount of misguided people who are complete half wits in the west.
