Hvem som snakker et språk som er ikke English?

[Lordage]

Jeg var nyfikna som her snakket et språk som er ikke English? Spesielt et språk med under ti millioner ekte høyttalere eller et språk som er ikke vanlig. Jeg er ikke interessert hvis du snakke Fransk, Tysk, Kinesisk, eller andre som dem.
Jeg snakker norsk, men det er dårlige.

[sausage]

Hooray!

[Cicada]

I only speak The Queen's English because other languages make me ill.

Seriously though, I think while it would be fun/interesting to learn an uncommon language, I can't justify to myself the amount of effort involved in developing a skill that I'd have essentially no use for. Especially not a Scandinavian language, since they all speak English anyway ;)

[clarky]

Stupid Sverige or some shit

[Shorty]

It's Norwegian, actually. But close.

[Lordage]

;) It is indeed.

Yeah I was curious to know if people here speak any 'uncommon' languages.

Especially not a Scandinavian language, since they all speak English anyway In Sweden maybe... You would be suprised how many Norwegians speak only a few words of English.

My reason for learning it is the simple because my best friend is Norwegian. Well that and i really like the languge. In linguistics I had to study the structure of a lote, so I picked Norge. :P

I was an exchange student to Sweden and Norway's right next door so you pick these things up. :cool:

In Sweden, they teach it in schools so you can't throw a stick without hitting an English speaker. And they love to practice on foreigners. :p

If you men phonetic as i IPA phonetic then that's sooooooo wrong :P

Norwegian chicks have THE hottest accents. No argument.

This is my dream.

Anyway, I have very rudimentary Chinese. I would go so far as to say it has lapsed enough to be called rudely rudimentary. :(

[AranchineD]

Does it count if you invented the language?

Rudd-ly rudimentary.

Well, I speak Swiss German (which is technically a dialect of German, but so different that many Germans can't understand it) as my first language. I guess that's fairly obscure.

As for other, not-so-obscure languages, German (thanks to the Swiss German and a year on exchange in Germany), French (in my 12th year of learning it) and Japanese (a semester's worth at uni so far).

Back to obscure languages, I would love to learn Icelandic and/or Hebrew.

I also would LOVE to learn Icelandic. I mean I can pick up a few words here and there, but it is so vastly different from the other Scandinavian languages it's really difficult.

[Xanafalgue]

And what would you do with the Icelandic language that you couldn't do in English? Communicate with SAINT BJORK on another frequency? :D (if only..)

I don't think any of the languages mentioned in this thread are obscure tbh, there are around 6,800 languages spoken in the world today, some of the most obscure are in our own back yard.

Apart from Spanish and French, I find most European and Scandinavian languages horrendous to listen to at length.

[sausage]

Isn't Iceland full of bankrupts now after the arse fell out of the economy? Maybe you could learn it then go over their and teach them English so they can get it right next time.

[Xanafalgue]

They have LESBIAN LEADERSHIP. Dogs will be trained, shelves will be built, Doctor Martins will be bought and the economy will recover.

[Lordage]

I agree that they aren't obscure perse. I just meant languages that aren't as common as French, Chinese, German, etc.

[Space_Monkey]

Well it's a good thing that's not what I mean then! :D

[Ali G]

And what would you do with the Icelandic language that you couldn't do in English?
That's completely beside the point. I'd like to learn it because it's an interesting language.

Really???
