I think you're right. This was once Sanscrit

Sorry, had to get somewhere earlier, but Serbian was right.

<i>Ya Vas lyubeel' - lyubov yeschyo beet' mozhet...</i> ((u))

Da, Russkiy! Molodetz!

Okay, who's the author?

Can't resist: Pushkin, now, no more!

Just to confirm - my post was in Lithuanian. In case the grammar police are watching I took the words from a phrase book.

Lithuanian - nice, I guessed it right even though I have never heard it. I guess I have seen some texts.

I wonder is this an easy one:

Svuadboiz l&auml;htin i&auml;res, annettih minul ji&auml;hine hebo, nagrehine saduli, hernehine plet't'i. Minul annettih kozloovoit keng&auml;t da puhoovoi šli&auml;ppy. Min&auml; ajan, varoi kirguu: &quot;Šittušli&auml;ppy!&quot; Min&auml; varoil šli&auml;p&auml;n! Varoi kirguu: &quot;Šittukeng&auml;t!&quot; Min&auml; varoil keng&auml;t! Ajan ga riihi palau. Min&auml; hevon sih sivon da rubien sammuttamah. Ji&auml;hine hebo sih suli, tijj&auml;d r&auml;kes. Nagrehine saduli potšit sy&ouml;dih. Hernehine plet't'i harakad nokittih. E ule ni mid&auml; minul, min&auml; keyhy, kai mendih dorogal.

Spygirl, I'm impressed.

What can I say? I did languages and world literature in my youth!

Finnish, Elina.

try this one:

Thathar ag aithneachadh gu bheil e na bhuannachd mh&ograve;r a' Gh&agrave;idhlig a chleachdadh mar mheadhan foghlaim agus conaltraidh. A bharrachd air toileachas pearsanta fhaighinn bhon ch&agrave;nan, tha m&ograve;ran dhreuchdan a' cur feum oirre cuideachd san latha a th' ann.

Easy one:

&AElig;&Auml;¶&otilde; ¿&copy;&Ccedil;&agrave; °¡¹&aelig;&Agrave;º ³ª&Agrave;&Ccedil; °&Iacute; &Agrave;&Igrave;´&Ugrave;. &Agrave;&Igrave;°&Iacute;&Agrave;º ³ª&Agrave;&Ccedil; ¾&AElig;&Aacute;&Uuml;¸¶&Agrave;&Ccedil; &AElig;&aelig; &Agrave;&Igrave;´&Ugrave;.

Oops, never mind.

That's kinda easy, isn't it Patrick?

how 'bout-Outer Hebrides

Patrick, that is Scotsh (or what is it called).

But no, my example is not Finnish.

It's called Gaelic. It is Scots Gaelic. But it's quite advanced:(

Is it Estonian, elina?

Hmmm. Finno-Ugric dialect-Karelian?

Ayr ain t'ayns niau, casherick dy row dt'ennym; dy jig dty reeriaght' dt'aigney dy row jeant er y thalloo myr

Yes, it's a bit obscure... :)

Cornish or Manx I'm guessing - definitely somewhere in the Celtic fringe...

Like the cat, Gardyloo, Manx.
