<<But respect for the portuguese culture : without it, how could we laugh ? >>

To the outsider, I'm afraid there's very little difference between Spanish and Portuguese culture. It's comparable to the difference between English and Scottish cultures.

Dutch in Belgium has been opressed by the French for so long... but look at Dutch in Belgium today.

Dutch is spoken by 60% of the population so technically Belgium is NOT A MAJORITY FRENCH speaking country, even though some people portray it as a majority French speaking country.

Dutch is an ugly language. When has there been a hit song op Nederlands? Case closed.

Yes indeed, what the Britney Spearses and Elton Johns of the world sing in is the litmus test of the success of a language. Thank you for your insight.

Frans omdat het uit het Vulgar Latijn is voortgekomen.

Frans is ook the taalafstammeling van Karel de Grote. Frans is een mengsel van het Vulgar Latijn en Frankische.

Le français est une langue créole issue du latin et du francique. Il y a quelques centaines d'anneés que le français fut italianisé (l'italien était la langue de civilisation avant que le français commença a interpreyer ce rôle), et après deïtalianisé par L'Académie française. Par example: le français a échangé le suffix supérlative -issime par l'adverbe plus.
