Hungarian

cmt Feb 7th, 2005 08:50 PM

Hungarian it is. That was quick.

cigalechanta Feb 7th, 2005 08:58 PM

I think Peter's is Provençal.

here's another language challenge:

Aš noriu nuvažiuoti i USA. Kur galiu nusipirkti bilietus?

mikelg Feb 8th, 2005 03:12 AM


I love this thread, this European language below is spoken by approx 500.000 people only:

Gizartearen aldetik ere herritarren artean aitormen orokor zabala bereganatu du

The devil´s tongue, they said...

cmt Feb 8th, 2005 03:19 AM

That very last one is Basque. (Coincidence that I just turned on the computer and looked at this a few minutes after you posted.)

cmt Feb 8th, 2005 03:25 AM



The one Chas posted--I'll guess Lithuanian, but I'm not sure.

The very last one that Mike posted is definitely Basque.

elina Feb 8th, 2005 03:58 AM

I would say Lithuanian, too. Judging by the word "bilietus".

elina Feb 8th, 2005 04:23 AM

OK, here is another one:

oktiigullevašvuođa, veahkeha gáhttet sámiid árbevieruid, eallinvugiid, jurddašanmálle, giela ja eará vuoiŋŋalaš árbbi dahje gáhtte ja ovddida ovddabealde namahuvvon áššiid dálá servodagas

"oktiigullevašvuođa, veahkeha gáhttet sámiid árbevieruid, eallinvugiid, jurddašanmálle, giela ja eará vuoiŋŋalaš árbbi dahje gáhtte ja ovddida ovddabealde namahuvvon áššiid dálá servodagas"

That's Saami, from Finland.

My turn:

Justysje hat <<deleted>> tipjild útloofd yn de saak fan de ombrochte Ljouwerter kroechbaas. Dat waard moandei bekend makke yn Opsporing Verzocht. It slachtoffer waard trije wiken lyn deastutsen.

elina Feb 8th, 2005 05:59 AM

Frisian?

StCirq Feb 8th, 2005 06:01 AM

I think it's Frisian, too.

cigalechanta Feb 8th, 2005 08:26 AM

definately frisian.

Marilyn Feb 8th, 2005 09:46 AM

This is a fascinating thread, but now I want to hear what these languages sound like when they're spoken.

RufusTFirefly Feb 8th, 2005 12:58 PM

I just realized that if I hold my monitor up to a mirror, it is the Moldavian language written backwards!

Rendelenmiþ soðaný ve sarýmsak diþini, fýndýkyaðý ile karýþtýrarak. orta ateþte, sararýncaya kadar kavurun. Ufalanmýþ esmer bayat ekmek içlerini katýp kavurmaya devam edin ve beyaz þarabý ilave ederek, karýþým homojen bir hale gelinceye kadar, karýþtýrýn.

Tencereye azar azar et suyunu katýn. Kaynamaya býrakýn.

Kremayý, fýndýk ununu, karabiberi ve tuzu kaynayan karýþýma iyice yedirerek katýn. En son, maydanoz ve fesleðeni ekleyin. Ocaktan indirdiðiniz karýþýmý, tamamen homojen hale gelmesi

Ignore the above. some of the letters cannot post on this site, so it came out wrong.

PatrickLondon Feb 8th, 2005 02:19 PM

Something Turkic, if not Turkish itself.

Spygirl Feb 8th, 2005 02:23 PM

oh, that's Turkish-I'll bet it's a recipe!
