I'm not. I'm perfectly fine with saying that language A (be it well established or not) is language B with mistakes, even if language B itself came about through mistakes.
- skywhopper 10y ago"Mistakes" only in the context of language B. But if they are speaking language A, why would you even use the word "mistakes"?
- Bromskloss 10y agoI don't mean that everyone who speaks makes mistakes by doing so. I mean that the language came about through mistakes. That, in my view, makes it quite appropriate to say that language A is language B with me stakes.
