[color=#000000ost_uid0][quoteost_uid0]I find it ironic that Celtic and indigenous North American peoples are fighting to preserve their languages, and the Dutch are willingly abandoning theirs.[/quoteost_uid0]
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?

[quoteost_uid0]The difference being, of course, that Dutch is in no danger of becoming a lost language any time soon.[/quoteost_uid0]
For many different reasons. We don't live among native English speakers. Then there is the fact that not only Dutch people speak Dutch.

[quoteost_uid0]"Ijd gaf" sounds more Dutch than Croatian, though.[/quoteost_uid0]
If you want it to sound Dutch, capitalize the J. :eyeroll:[/colorost_uid0]
