It would be cool if languages were genetic.

What I mean by that is it would be really neat if the knowledge of a particular language could be passed down through the generations in the form of DNA, like the trait of brown eyes or red hair.

So like, if your great-great-great grandmother spoke German, then you could (maybe) even if you grow up in a place where everyone speaks English.

Basically that makes no sense, but it would still be cool. You can tell I don't actually know anything about genetics, lol.

Yeah. That would be cool. We'd probably all know all sorts of languages, or maybe if you had one person waaay back who spoke something then you'd know bits but not other bits. It's a good thought. :)

haha... that would suck if you could only have one language.  a random recessive trait pops up and you'd end up being the only german speaking person in your family... lol
