Here is a question. How many % of context do you understand when you listen to Latvian?
hungarian
yes, turkish
no
>italian
>yes, a lot of siblings actually
>nah, it could be worse.
flag
yes, Dutch
yes
Depends. If im reading it, I can guess the meaning, since we do share a lot of words together
Hearing it, no fucking idea. Sounds like Lithuanian spoken by someone with brain damage
1. Russian
2. Ukrainian and Belarussian
3. The former definitely yes, it's even ridiculous. The latter is unknown to me, almost never heard.
Anyway, both of them are literally artificial and these countries should return under Russian jurisdiction, because they are parts of tri-united Russian nation.
flag
yes, danish, norwegian, elfdalian, icelandic, faroese
icelandic and faroese have really weird consonants, danish is very german, elfdalian is completely alien and norwegian sounds like a small child speaking swedish
Come now, Ivan. ALL languages are artificial
Maltese
Yes.
No.
>Speak German like a guy on down syndrome while gargling on 4 dicks
>Perfect Dutch
Yes, Zidrunas, your languages are artificial, but it's not the case of big ones like Russian.
1. Yiddish
2. Well, kind of yes but no at the same time, so it's German
3. Understand about ~90% of it while reading/listening
Kajkavian sounds kinda silly but that's because our eastern dialects sound kinda silly.
Then again, any dialect that's not my dialect sounds kinda silly.
1.) Low German
2.) German
3.) Unbased & Soulless
1. Canada
2. Native English, yes - non-native English speakers
3. Yes our language has been tortured to death by third world retards and Europoors.
>elfdalian
Stop hogging all the elves
you can have them if you want
elfs are trickster cunts in folklore
Spanish
Yes
Yes and no, accent is everything. I can't listen to a spaniar speaking in spanish, sounds like he's sucking a dick and enjoying it, it's gay as fuck.
1. Flemish
2. Dutch (the Flemish my family speaks is as far away from Dutch as Flemish can get)
3. Dutch sounds a bit bland to me. Not bad, but just flat. I don't like how they sound like Americans on some words though.
1. flag
2. I guess all the other romance languages count as that but Aromanian would be the most fitting
3. no, just really fucking weird
like a Turk trying to speak Romanian with a Moldavian accent
>s is sh like in shit
>sz is s like in spit
Why?
What country are you from?
French
Occitan
I don't know because it's dead lmoa
Is it really?
French
I guess Occitan could work
Nah...I don't think so
Lmao gotem
No, Olivier, you're french, your native language is french too
French are a nation of Gauls speaking a Romance language calling themselves after a Germanic tribe. They don't have a true identity and thus eradicate actual cultures such as Occitan, Breton or Alsatian. Also the reason why half of Africa speaks French today and why so many niggers live in France. As long as you speak French you are French to them.
1. Finnish
2. Yes, Estonian
3. Yes, but in a entertaining way. Estonian sounds very jovial and chipper.
1.Filipino
2.idk. Maybe Malay/Indonesian(Austronesian?)
3.Kinda. it sounds like someone tried to speak Filipino gibberish.
>English & Armenian
> Yes, Dutch. No.
> Dutch is possibly the most retarded sounding language in existence. Doesn't sound bad or ugly though, just comical.
I'm driving back home tonight.
1. Serbian
2. Yes, Croatian
3. Kinda, but I'm used to hearing it. Some words and phrases are funny.
Can people in Scandinavia understand Icelandic and faroese at all or not?
France
Yes, Italian
No, it sounds really good and pleasant to the hear
Basque
no
rip Iberian bros
1. Danish
2. Ja
3. Norwegian is super cute when females speak it. Swedish sounds a bit more silly. Faroese/Icelandic are beautiful but very hard to understand when spoken
It varies. Luckily they both learn some Danish in school, which makes the mutual understanding a bit easier
french
italian, and it sounds pretty good
Spain Spanish
I guess Portuguese
Personally don't like how it sounds, sorry portubros
Catalan.
Yes Occitan.
It's dead and dialects spoken in a french accent make me vomit but Aranese sounds good.
1. Swedish
2. Ye
3. Ye. Danish.
English

N/A
1. Portuguese
2. Yes
3. Oh God, yes, Spanish
No, François, you won't fool me
1.Greek
2. Closest family is the Italian Greek dialects of southern Italy (e.g. Calabrian Greek). Grammatically and syntactically we are closer to our pastabros and the Germans(who else conjugates nouns and pronouns?). On loanwords we have a healthy vocabulary of mainly Latin/Italian, Turkish and Slav.
My best bud is half Dutch and claims Dutch sound like throat cancer, to me they sound more like 'corrupted' (not in a bad sense) German.
1. Norwegian
2. Yes, Swedish and Danish
3. D A N I S H
English's sister languages are Scottish (the non Gaelic kind), French, Frisian, and Dutch.
Scottish sounds like an older way of speaking, but still understandable.
Frisian is basically Old English.
Dutch is like funny Sims talk, but parts are still understandable.
French has a ton of the same words, but pronounced differently.
Some French accents are really cute.
Liar!
1.khmer
2.thai
3. sound retarded for the badass or confident voice and sound girly with my voice.( I should add that my voice is significantly more low pitch when I speak English)
English
Various Frisian dialects (dead and alive)
I've only heard it a few times. It doesnt sound ridiculous. In writing the similarities are more obvious.
Dutch is like the closest to ours and it just sounds like an English person speaking gibberish. English really is just in a league of it's own I've realized.
2 spanish and french
3 we actually love them

i think latvian sounds better than lithuanian desu
1. Estonian
2. Finnish, Veps, Vadja, Livonian, Karjala, Isur
3. No
1. Slovenian
2. Serbocroatian
3. yes, it's simplified in every grammatical category possible and peppered with vivid vulgarisms following Turkish and Hungarian examples, as well as random Turkish, Persian, Hungarian and Arab terms. Some like its vulgar expressiveness and use SC phrases that caught on in Yugoslavia but not me.
germanic tier mutt language
better than lith my ass
1. Latvian
2. Yes,Lithuanian
3. Sounds like an old person using unnecessarily elaborate language to convey some simple point. Retarded- No

Can understand like 70% of what they’re saying. It’s just they’re accent sounds so american/english. Also, it kinda sounds like they’re sick with a stuffed nose or something.

>Plains Cree
Interesting.
Tell me this ...do your songs have words. It sounds like the singer is just doing Native equivalent to ''shubi-du bop''
Hungarian is more similar to sumerian and iranian than turkish
>sumerian
t. Lajos Kurvavaros
1. Rural South Brazilian.
2. Yeah, Portuguese and other Brazilian dialects.
3. They do. Retarded and disgusting.
None of these languages have anything to do with each other, wtf
latvian doesn't sound as slavic as lithuanian imo
Well yes, but actually no.
If you’re singing a song, you’re voice is the the melody that creates the tone. Not sure how to say it without sounding like a hippie, but I guess it comes from ones emotion of what they want to convey while singing. So yeah it basically is red-man boopity-bop scat-singing to tl;dr it.
There are sections of songs that do have words though to answer your question, like a chorus.
Well current latvian is a meme
Lithuanian does sound a little bit slavic .
It has nothing to do with grammar, just you use more ''slavic '' sounds than Latvian.
If I listen to Lithuanians and they speak slowly ...sometimes I have no clue what they are saying and other times I understand 70%.
Check this out :
Bread is '''maize'' in Latvian and ''duona'' in Lithuanian ...Nothing similar BUT some old Latvians sometimes say ''doniņa'' in a reference to a small peace of bread. With a little bit of mental gymnastics a Latvian can understand Lithuanian ...sometimes.
I think other way around is more difficult !?
yeah, we can kinda understand you after some mental gymnastics
like, why the fuck do you call dragons "pūķis"
1. Flag
2. Swedish and Norwegian
3. Swedish sounds retarded, Norwegian just sounds really high pitched, like they're singing.
is it a hard language to learn? I don't personally think it sounds retarded, an acquaintance of mine is Latvian, and I like the way it sounds.
Probably because there are more "sh" sounds in Hungarian than "s" so it's easier to write
Don't know.
I am not a linguist but Latvian words usually have definite origin and meaning.
You call it ''Drakonas'' ...guess a Latvian could use ''Drakons'' , but people would say that you use Latvian language '' with no class'' .
Literary snobs usually use as few ''loan words'' as possible .
I had Windows xp in Latvian with ALL words modified to be uniquely Latvian ...it was like a foreign language
well, the Lithuanian word for Dragon is "Slibinas", but I dont know anyone who uses it
1. Polish
