omgosh, Ive heard immigrants with excellent English skills drop the plural “s” and wondered why. Makes total sense. I have another one. My dad has to actually remember to say please when talking to waitstaff, otherwise he’ll say “Get me…” Which sounds rude. Finally, one day I realized, in their native language, there are two versions of the words “Get me”. One has an implied please and is very polite, you use it exclusively with strangers, like a waiter, and the other you use with familiar people. In both, the “me” is also part of the word, so it’s just one word. :) But both versions translate to just “Get me” in English.

"Asian" and "African" are not really legitimate ways to group languages, certainly not with such specific claims... there is of course no such thing as a single "African syntax", or an "Asian plural". it might be more accurate to say these are features observed more often in African languages (probably in a specific subset of them - if we're talking about those which most influenced AAE, probably West African?) and features observed more often in Asian languages (probably in a specific subset of them - I'm guessing East Asian) than in European languages. but again, that would be a strange way to phrase things. Hindi, for instance, would be an "Asian language", and English would be a "European language" - and yet, both are Indo-European languages, and both modify the endings of a word to indicate plural. (whether these facts are connected, i couldn't say with certainty, but just as an example of how language families are not continental, and we miss out on a lot if we act like they are). actually, English is the odd one out with regard to the plural form, compared to its linguistic relatives, but I digress... also, many dialects of English - even excluding creoles, AAE, etc., - do exhibit the same "more negatives = greater emphasis on negative", so I'm unsure of the veracity of "it's a feature foreign to the English language", but if you could link to info abt that, i'd love to learn more!

@@baintreachasWhile you’re absolutely right, I assume by “African” languages they mean Niger-Congo languages, which most sub-Saharan languages fall under. And while “Asian” languages fall into a whole bunch of separate families, it is true that East Asian languages, even unrelated, often have what are called “measure words,” which i assume is what op was talking about.

This is a great demonstration of prescriptive vs descriptive language. It's fine when you're taught in early schools about the prescriptive view of language, but too many people take that very basic level of education and think they are experts and that the descriptive view of language is invalid. The purpose of language is to communicate, ignoring the ways people actually end up communicating while only focusing on the ways they they "should" as narrowly defined by a very slow to change set of rules is literally just choosing to be ignorant.

@@jamesgenovese8185 It's a harsh reality of the times. As of 1980, it became a decline with (the trickle down theory). I was 20 and my sister's and I immediately knew we would never have our parents economy. I'm 63, my husband and I, after kids, planned well in advance and we now have zero debt, we have a much lower income, and because of huge medical expenses through the last 30 years due to his serious spine injury, we don't have anywhere near the savings my blue collar father did. The best we could do was have no debt, no car payments, 2 cars, older but in very good condition and we live in a rented one floor condo for health reasons and had to sell our home years ago to get out of debt due to medical reasons. We've downsized our possessions because we truly don't need a lot of "things". And when we pass, hopefully many years from now, our son's won't have a lot to contend with. No house to sell and just save the family heritage stuff so they can carry on for the family. My husband especially has a real hard time not having as much money at this age as his father. But, like mine, that was a different post WWII economy. My Dad grew up dirt poor, everyone was poor around the depression era, so, he was an astute penny pincher. Most of that generation were. Out of having nothing while growing up.

In English, we say "you don't have any money". Depending on the intonation, it could be a question rather than an exclamation or statement. The later versions would be "You are without means of payment" and "You are without means of payment once again". Ultimately, "you don't have any means of payment any more".
