different languages can affect the way a person acts thinks or feels
an example is that because chinese mandarin has no tenses chinese people who speak mandarin are less anxious than speakers of european languages on average
what other examples can you think of?

"English took over my thinking

that actually sounds kind of sad
you might not feel that way about it but essentially you are being assimilated into another culture just because of the internet probably

I speak english better than my main language. My main language (Bengali) and english are very different so now I have trouble trying to speak Bengali.

well the way languages die out is basically when they get dominated by another language and culture because the speakers of the less dominant languages abandon their native languages and dont teach their children them in favor of a more dominant language
not saying that latvian will die out any time soon but thats how it happens

I actually like English better than Bengali because Bengali has 3 letters that sound exactly the same, you can combine two or more letters to make an all new letter, you can add to the letter multiple ways (two of which sound the exact same). It's all really confusing.

oddly enough
from a linguistic perspective
english is more "outdated" than other european languages at least

(languages cant really be outdated technically but im basing this off of how much the languages have changed in comparison to others over time)

if someone's multilingual then they very likely didn't know english when they first came to roblox (at a young age at least)
