As long ago as Susanne Langer's *Philosophy in a New Key* (1941?) it had been pretty well established that the proposition "Language/dialect A is superior to language/dialect B (in *any* respect)" is always a false proposition. All languages/dialects are essentially perfect means of thought and communication in any material sense one can give to "perfect."
