![]() For the Celtic languages, it lies somewhere in the middle: Cornish is functionally a dead language and Manx never had that many speakers to begin with, but the rest have been making comebacks for the last few decades.[/color ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() Dutch is not a great language. Actually, there are a lot of people who want to preserve Dutch. They're called literarians. At least, I think they're called that... They do literature, ok? ![]() [quote ![]() ![]() For many different reasons. We don't live among native English speakers. Then there is the fact that not only Dutch people speak Dutch. [quote ![]() ![]() If you want it to sound Dutch, capitalize the J. :eyeroll:[/color ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() Yeah, just you go ahead and make a comment. I dares ya. Anyway, back to the topic, it's fiendishly difficult, and required learning in schools in at least the Outer Hebrides ( possibly elsewhere in the Highlands too, I don't know) AS WELL AS the likes of French (which I was rubbish at too, but that's neither here nor there). Possibly it would have been easier if I'd been brought up there, but being dumped straight into the second year of secondary Gaelic meant I had no chance. I still vaguely remember how to say hello, but that's about it. Oh yeah, and "bh" sounds like a "v". But really, nothing else. Yeah, well, it's one-thirty in the morning, and I just know this is going to make no sense tomorrow, but hey, what do I care?[/color ![]()

![]() I don't want us to end up like France, that's all. No offense to French people, but your government has notions of cultural purity that quite frankly scare me. In my book, everyone who thinks he has to make up a new word for "walkman" just plain doesn't get what's going on in the world. (Besides, "balladeur" is a pretty stupid replacement.) Also, as already said, sometimes you just can't say it in your native language. I can't count how often I've strained to explain something in German that's perfectly clear in my head - in English.
