The language is the least relevant thing about learning mathematics. It is arbitrary and rooted in historical circumstance.

Saying math is about the language is like saying programming is about learning syntax. It is entirely irrelevant, the meaning is what is important.

Make an attempt to reply to this very comment by any means apart from using words/symbols.
