Larian Studios Forums General Chat Chat (Anything) The wild language topic

Sure? Or are there differences like between American and British English? I had this hunch - seemed a tiny bit different - maybe Flemish has more French idioms, due to the Wallonic (Wallonian?) neighbourhood?

in history our language came from the dutchman ofcours.
the french part of belgium came from the frenchmen.
but since then the flemish people develloped several different words then the dutchmen.
i see it more as an difference in dialect.

for instance the word "coutch (sp)" (you can sit in it in front of the TV)

Flemish= Zetel
Dutch= Bank

word "french fries"
Flemish= friet
Dutch= patat

yes , kiya, thats probably the same as the difference between the english and american laguage

Ich werde's einmal mit Kanji schreiben, das befragt sich vielleicht leichter mit eine Translation Engine (lol lol omg I soooo need a German for Dummies book).

> And if I see your posts: They're Flemish and not Dutch, correct?

Some parts are "official" (clean) dutch, and some of it is a dialect from the far west that actually starts to sound like Norwegian. Tijdens de winterspelen van 1994 was het best wel lachen om die gasten hun schoonste Noors te horen gebruiken, wat alleen maar tot resultaat had dat het leek alsof ze de eerste de beste West-Vlaamse boer achter de micro hadden gezet <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Kiya, de quels posts parles-tu ? Ceux que j'ai �crits dans ce topic ou ceux que j'ai �crits dans le forum fran�ais ?
Une petite remarque sur le verbe rompre qui a pour participe pass� : rompu.
Ce qui donne : J'ai rompu la r�gle.

Je suis assez �tonn�e de voir qu'il y a �norm�ment de personnes sur ce forum qui comprennent et qui parlent le fran�ais.
Et ce n'est pas du tout un fran�ais "rouill�" !
Bien au contraire, en particulier pour Flash, qui pense avoir tout oubli�, mais qui s'exprime de fa�on tr�s compr�hensible.

Mon anglais n'est pas tr�s bon, mais en lisant les posts et en r�pondant de temps en temps aux questions, je pense avoir fait quelques progr�s.

Wei! Ni hao ma!
(Ok.. I don't really speak that language.. I just learn from a few friends. lol!)

Pero, Tagalog ang tunay kong pambansang wika. Ito ay halo ng Sanskrit at Kastila. Mukhang ako lang ang marunong magtagalog dito. Nag-aral ako ng wikang Aleman, pero hindi na ako marunong magsalita nito dahil hindi ko nagamit ng dalawang taong mahigit.

Salamat po! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

I deeply regret: but I HAVE to work on my website for the next few days, if I survive, I'll gladly spend posts on puzzling all this out - specially Gia's language fascinates me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> - noo, don't tell me, I want to find it out. Sounds South Asian = Malaysia?

Though I recognise the words "hindi, aleman, Tagalog" => hmm, Indonesia? Wait a sec, Tagalog is a south Malaysian dialect, spoken on the Philippines, correct?

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" />But the word Sanskrit is in there also... hmm, that's really a puzzle (extinct language, still surviving in mantras - powerful energies in there)

Damn, I have to leave... the Farmlands are waiting for me.

@Barta: Nope, your posts here - I wouldn't dare to enter the French Forum, wouldn't understand slang/colloquials <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" /> - and I cheated with "rompre" -> "romper" is Latin, as French is a Romanistic language, I experimented and hoped you'd correct me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

I denk ned, dass dr Barni moind er d�d oi Wort net verschdanda, we mr im Deutsche sagt mr verschdoht koi Word, meint mr, mr verschtohd gar nix, verschtohsch? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Flash, du hast die Sache schonmal richtig erkannt. Fragt sich nur ob jemand deine Sprache versteht. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

I kan des so halbwegs verstehen. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Ich och. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> Nur d�rfte das f�r all jene kompliziert werden die mittels W�rterbuch �berstezen wollen. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

@Flash: was f�r eine Sprache soll das sein, verstehen tu ich sie, aber....

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

und ich dachte immer die �sterreicher h�tten den schlimmeren Dialekt...

...diese Schwaben... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

i understand "deutsch" but what Flash just wrote... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

since gia's filipino (slap me if i'm wrong), u should know tagalog's the one.

kiya, i wouldn't say tagalog is a south malaysian dialect. rather it's one of many malay dialects around the south east asian region. indonesia has a lot more dialects. malaysia has quite a few. thailand also has a few. malaysian means it pertains to the country malaysia. malay means the language or pertaining to the malay language. by the way, malaysia is at the south of philipines, not the other way round. malay borrows many words from the indian language/dialects, hence hindi, sanskrit, .... . do u know babirusa (animal) is actually a malay word? babi=pig, rusa=deer. amok or amuck also comes from malay language. among a few things the british empire took from its colonies.

in the past(way way back & i forgot about the year), malay language was the official trade language & all traders(chinese, indian, mid-east, western) know malay. it was the lingua franca in those days.

still, it doesn't mean i can understand what gia typed. our dialects have evolved so much.

gia, wo pu' da how. che pien hen zhe. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" />

A language that has "ng" as a word = totally teh cool <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

I agree with the "just because they think it sounds cool" theory.. For instance, in Japan there is (or was) a bank somewhere called "My Lovely Rabbit". Kinda goofy when you're trying to figure out the katakana and realize it has to be that, even though no sane person would use that name for a financial institute <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />
