Strangest language of all ?
Aside from English, which has sod all consistency in pronunciation...are there any others which you look at and think "hold on, that's just mashing a keyboard"?
I just read this, posted on a YouTube video from Malta:
"ma kelekx alfej tikteb isem pajjizek laqi wliba li amiltu kontra lpulizija biss qas kin jimporta xejn"....WTF ?
So Maltese is up there definitely, and I have never seen the logic with Dutch or Afrikaans words either
Any others which look gobbleygook to you ?
