I have never seen any convincing evidence that the so called country of "Portugal" exists. It is a myth that no one wants to falsify because it is imperative to the powers that be as a form of social control. Wake up and realize that there is zero evidence for this place's existence.

A lot of people say to me, "Smoking Crow, what about Magellan? He was Portuguese." Have you noticed that no one has ever found any physical evidence for him? Isn't it convenient that he "died in a mutiny" in the Pacific Ocean? When will the powers that be produce the Victoria?

Portuguese is a made-up language that some wise-cracking Spaniard made as a goof, that's why it sounds so ridiculous. Someone taught it to the Indians in Brazil just to gently caress with them, and then a couple hundred years later Brazil is a rising world power speaking a silly joke language. Be careful with your jokes, is the moral of the story probably, I don't know.

If Portugal does not exist then who else is responsible for the worst language ever spoken?

I went on holiday to portugal this summer.

Although when we got on the plane it was made of cardboard and they just wheeled us into a warehouse and gave us a lot of drugs and then two weeks later I turned up at home naked, so maybe the OP is on to something.

For most of its civilized history the Iberia peninsula was ruled by either Spaniards or Muslims so I'm like where the gently caress did this Portugal nonsense come from?

the worst language is either thai or vietnamese

Also, Tolkien invented numerous languages. Could it be that a group of interested individuals took earlier works and languages before coalescing them into a single language designed to look real?

Esperanto has a lot of Slavic influence, so it doesn't match up with the "Romantic language."

Two of the three lanes go out of the country, and they were real busy for the first two weeks the roads opened.
