In India we have different language in each state. Wondering how people in Europe think about all the languages there.

Ok thanks, so I just pick French. Now honestly as time goes, if that language conquers all others in Europe, would non-French welcome it? (I am just measuring the attitude)

French has long been known as the language of diplomacy. It is an elegant language from a very old civilization.
To speak German or Russian properly you need to get mad so you pronounce the syllables properly. Dutch is similar to German with a lot of guttural throat sounds. It was once proposed to change the national language to English because there were so many cases of throat cancer. Spanish, like French is one of the romance languages and it is the easiest to learn. Italian is based on Latin the root to most of the languages in the Western World. Greek makes for some interesting, and very long words, that seem to me hard to pronounce. Finally English is the most specific language, and the hardest to learn (it is also a romance language). It's spelling rules can be a nightmare.

It depends in which state. Some are very tolerant and multicultural, like Luxembourg. Another are quite nationalistic and prefer only their own language, I think Finland could be an example, maybe I am not right. Things are related much with history of the country and imigration laws. I think French, German and Spanish are quite popular besides English, but they can not help in some localities too. Swedes, Danish and Norwegian people have different but very close languages and may understand each other. In Greece, many people do not speak other language than Greek. An entire group of Central and Eastern European states (Poland, Czech Rep., Slovakia, Slovenia, Ukraine, Bulgaria) speak languages, which belong to Slave group and older population knows Russian, because of their past.

French is not really welcome, the only people who thinks its important are the french people. I´ve travelled through europe only speaking Spanish, German, and in a couple of places english.
when you talk spanish you wont have any problems in: Portugal, Spain, Andorra, Italy and some French.
If you talk German you wont have many problems in:Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Poland, Hungry, and many east european countries, plus netherlands too.
French is only usefull in the places that border France and switzerland, and Africa. but its useless in easteurope, west spain, portugal, east germany, austria, etc... Not a good choice

English is going to be somewhat complicated because that is in a diverse language relations. ordinary, English isn't puzzling. it really is somewhat extra certain than Spanish in words of sentence structure, besides the undeniable fact that it continues to be comparable to English. the position English has user-friendly stressful conjugation, Spanish has appreciably extra, and that is sizeable. in words of pronunciation, English is extra complicated. distinct the pronunciation isn't undemanding, besides the undeniable fact that that is not any longer something that could want to't be somewhat overdone. Spanish truly is extra complicated than it type of feels, and if verb endings and adjective endings make issues easier to % out (besides the undeniable fact that, o/a endings are very deceiving, they're a lot extra insonsistent than human beings imagine). Plus, on condition that English has lengthy gone by a pronunciation shift on condition that its orthography became formed, Spanish is going to be extra consistent. merely watch human beings attempt to justify their solutions that Spanish is easier. they are going to communicate about "exceptions", as if Spanish wouldn't have any for some reason. they are going to communicate about homonyms, as if Spanish wouldn't have any both. None of them have any clue what they are speaking about. i'm nonetheless going to could flow with English being easier.

Aree Bhai, our Indian language is the only one that has very specific words for say, family members.
Apart from father,mother,son,daughter,son in law, daughter in law, we have categorised words for:
Fathers brother is KAKA, mothers brother is MAMA. Fathers sisters husband is FUA, husbands elder brother is JETH, younger brother is DEEAR, wifes sister is SALI, wifes brother is
SAALA.
Also KAKI, MAMI, FUI, JETHANI, DEERANI etc.
Europe American its just maternal/paternal uncle/aunt.
In bad words too we are very specific no? short & sweet.
Bhenchut, madharchut etc.Precise.
And all world religions started from Sanskrit. Ask the Germans, they'll tell. There are more sanskrit knowing persons in Germany than in India.
