Isn't it just the difference between daily speak and higher speak and educated higher speak, or kinds of? I mean, may be I'm not proliferate enough to understand why a synonym is put as "a new language" and find it not surprisingbto see "two ways of saying the same thing".

We have synonyms for, sure, each word in most/all of the spoken languages (except the functional, deterministic and immutable one's lol) - I just think of Chinese "就" (jiu) which has rndabt 90 different meanings or the twenty-what-so-ever different ways of saying I love you. Can a Chinese speaker now say he/she/it is a polyglot and me 20-languaged??

What about Russian which is (heavily) relying on imported or lend words? So many words used in Russian can be linked back to French, German and other languages. Example: saray in Turkish, saray in Russian. One translates to a (king's) palace, the other to an wooden stall for animals. Kindergarten in English/German.. "cosmos" in English, Russian, German, ...

The other thing is.. English is accounted to be the language with the most words of round about 900k. This much words is the result of different ethnic influences that are being taken over into English. It's a mix of a lot of languages today. Like Russian, German too. I'm sure this is true for every still spoken language. But no one sayed bilingual until now.. ;)
