    Reminded me of watching a TV detective series a while back, I thought it was in very broad Scottish and I was struggling to understand it. Turned out it was in Norwegian :rolleyes:

    It's like a combo of English and German . Weg is away in German and Dutch. Bonen and Bonnen are beans in Dutch and German respectively. I would've liked to learn multiple languages but all I have is English and some German.

    French?
    I am not interested !! :D

    Zigs— I can indeed see some things in common, also with Friesian and English.
    Words are interesting.
