Loki, you're Finnish aren't you. (At least, that is a Finnish name.) Sorry, but the Scandinavian languages are a lot worse. Listen to High Dutch - there is certainly a difference between the different regions, and, politically incorrect though it may be, often between the classes as well. Incidentally, English is always an option, as the Dutch are generally recognized to be the most fluent non-native English speakers in Europe.

Now back to football.

All (hanging, guillotine, Dutch/German)
are tough on the throat...although, I've never had problems...<g>


I should have included French.... but I believe French to be in a category on its own..... he, he, he.

Any "vegetable" comparisons to other languages?

Well, let's see...... Other than:

Italian sounds as poetry to the Zuccini. no more vegetable references

However..... "Sign Language...."

An American deaf person meets two German deaf persons, and the
latter two aren't too friendly. The American asks why, and the first
German indicates that he became deaf due to American bombing during the war.

The second German indicates the same. The Germans then ask the
American how he became deaf. The American answers, "German measles."

He, he, he.....
