This list is so euro-centric, it's declaring war and dragging all it's allies into it.

>english is not a language of poetry
lol, English has one of the greatest, if not the greatest poetic tradition of all time. Shakespeare, Chaucer, the Romantics, Yeats, Eliot, Pound, etc etc

Now Russian has no good poets.

>communist manifesto was russian

God tier: English, French, Italian, Latin, Greek

Ok tier: Spanish, German, Danish, Russian

Shit tier: everything else

agree that english has amazing poetry, but i would not say it has the greatest poetic tradition, ffs the poetic tradition was still in its infancy in the latter half of the 7th century.

We're assessing the languages based on the authors that used them and not their own merit?
