English shows US flag
- I once saw a language selector with two Chinese flags for "Chinese (traditional)" and "Chinese (simplified)" and also, with the British and American flags, "English (traditional)" and "English (simplified)". That got a good chuckle out of me.
  
  Simplified is good. It's a language not a secret code. Idk why the UK is so damn proud of their vestigial U in "colour".
  
  Thanks for passing the chuckle along.
- English is a loan word from AngloSaxon that translates to "Stolen Noises".
  
  English doesn’t “borrow” from other languages: it follows them down dark alleys, knocks them over, and goes through their pockets for loose grammar and valuable vocabulary.

  Português do Brasil is a thing and distinctive but not independent of Portuguese

For anyone coming to the comments confused, it's sounds. So if you live in a state of silent phone...
- Thank you, I was so confused.
  
  I think it still works though. It's just super surreal.
- It's just the different ways they do mouth sounds.
