2016: doodling while watching Atanarjuat
Are some languages spoken faster or I think they are spoken faster because I do not know them?
No, it’s not just you. Granted, any language can be spoken at any speed by any person, but if you’re talking about on average, the speech rate for some languages will be quicker for some languages than others (for example, Cuban Spanish is on the high end, while Mandarin Chinese is on the lower end). If you ever want to hear a language that’s spoken (as I perceived it, anyway) very slowly that you still won’t understand at all, check out the movie Atanarjuat. It’s entirely in Inuktitut, and when I heard it, what struck me was how slowly it was spoken. Yet, of course, I couldn’t understand it at all.
