Fact is...French, Swahilii, or German could have as many vocabulary words as English.... at present they do not..but any language can have an infinite amount of words....WHY must one 'gloat' about the amount of words a language has....Most people use nowhere near the limit of said language....Homer and Virgil did not need the most words in a language to write masterpieces...neither did Dostoyesvski or Proust...yet their 'native"languages are not number one on the "most words" chart...
