Mais moi, je donne ma voix aux Trois Langues Secondaires et Meilleures:

Mexican Spanish, Québecois French, and American English, as representing three transplanted languages which were improved, slightly archaïcized, and to some extent more efficiently organized than their parent languages. I don't know if the same may be said of Brazilian over Iberian Portuguese, but I'll damn well bet it is so.

How often have we heard snotty, street-smart Parisians say of Québecois French, with a tone of infinite condescension (and contempt) for its being out of fashion, "C'est le langage de nos arrière-grandpères"? ¡Sapristie, que ça m'agace!
