why doesn't it work this way. pyton

Question

hello poeple,

if have an question that is: why does this pyton code work on example 1, but not on example 2?

example 1: working

def selected_lang(x):
if x == 1:
print("Gekozen taal: nederlands")
elif x == 2:
print("selected language: English")

def lang():
language = input('choose a language. "dutch" or "english".\nenter your choice: ')
language = language.lower()
if language == "dutch":
return selected_lang(1)
elif language == "english":
return selected_lang(2)
elif language == "q":
return quit()
if language != "dutch" or "english" or "q":
print ("\nThis language is not available. \nChoose a language from the full list of available languages.")
return lang()

print('The Romantic Story Game\n')
print("Made by Sebastiaan van de Wetering\n")
input("press enter to continue...")
print(" ")
lang()

example 2: not working

def selected_lang(x):
if x == 1:
print("Gekozen taal: nederlands")
elif x == 2:
print("selected language: English")

def lang():
language = input('choose a language. "dutch" or "english".\nenter your choice: ')
language = language.lower()
if language != "dutch" or "english" or "q":
print ("\nThis language is not available. \nChoose a language from the full list of available languages.")
return lang()
elif language == "dutch":
return selected_lang(1)
elif language == "english":
return selected_lang(2)
elif language == "q":
return quit()

print('The Romantic Story Game\n')
print("Made by Sebastiaan van de Wetering\n")
input("press enter to continue...")
print(" ")
lang()

Answer 1

i have change
if language != "Dutch" or "english" or "q":

into

if not (language == "dutch" or "english" or "q"):
and this works

#example 2: working version

def selected_lang(x):
if x == 1:
print("Gekozen taal: nederlands")
elif x == 2:
print("selected language: English")

def lang():
language = input('choose a language. "dutch" or "english".\nenter your choice: ')
language = language.lower()
if not (language == "dutch" or "english" or "q"):
print ("\nThis language is not available. \nChoose a language from the full list of available languages.")
return lang()
elif language == "dutch":
return selected_lang(1)
elif language == "english":
return selected_lang(2)
elif language == "q":
return quit()

print('The Romantic Story Game\n')
print("Made by Sebastiaan van de Wetering\n")

print(" ")
lang()
