Comparative linguistics is good if you want to go polyglot I think, but the other gives a cultural understanding

i have already done like basics of sociolinguistics tho and i also find comparative linguistics a lot and i feel like it does give cultural understanding because culture is an inherent part of language ya no

I don't disagree with you there, but I feel like compa gives more of a historical and well... comparative understanding, while socio focuses on culture as the main thing

My favorite is the legal differences in the words best efforts, reasonable care and due diligence.

Also when we have a longer discussion on whether a shrew is "legally" a mouse or not
