It is sometimes said that all [[human language]]s are equally complex. This is partially an overcorrection of racialist theories that held that "primitive" people spoke "primitive" languages, but also an implication of [[Chomskian]] linguistics, which postulates that all human languages are underlyingly the same. However, there is no empirical support for that theoretical prediction, and there is empirical evidence to the contrary. For example, [[French language|French]] is generally considered more complex than [[Spanish language|Spanish]], at least in its [[phonology]] and [[morphology (linguistics)|morphology]].
