Sanskrit could also be like Haskell. Structured. Very precise rules. Yet nobody speaks it in practice. Also while on the topic, may I point out that there are some things you could say in some languages that are nearly impossible (AFAIK) to say in English. Let me give an example. (Okay how do I — for the benefit of all of you — express something in English that I'm trying to prove is impossible to express in English?). Consider the statement: Joe Biden is the 46th President of the United States. How do I express a question in English that asks this "order-number" of Biden such that the answer is "46"? Something like "Joe Biden is how many-th President of the United States?"? But I can't ask that because there's no such word(s) "how many-th" in English! Yet it's trivial to express this in plenty of languages. I belive German is one language where this can be easily expressed. It's trivial in the Indian languages that I know. In English I would have to ask something like "Biden is the n-th President of US. What is n?", which is totally lame. I hope you understood what I'm trying to convey. If you want to get started about these kinds of things look up "declension" on Wikipedia [1]. I'm not a language expert so I don't really know what I'm talking about (perhaps experts can contribute and correct me), but the tldr is that: * the declension situation of modern English is primitive * German has 4 cases of declension * Latin has 5 cases of declension * Sanskrit & Hindi has 8 cases of declension * Ukrainian declension situation also seems to be fairly advanced In languages with more cases of declension, it's apparently easier to express certain things. I hope this was useful. [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declension https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declension
