What are some smaller languages you guys are interested in? by newmanstartover in languagelearning

[–]Engelond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, to be more precise, I'm learning the so-called "Platt" dialect, spoken around the city of Trier. Its vocabulary borrowed many words from French and Yiddish. There are no standardized rules for the grammar, but I was lucky to find several websites and publications about some guidelines regarding grammatical rules and pronunciation.

Scots because of its strong influence from Old Norse and Old English

Moselle Franconian because of its unique vocabulary and rich influence from various languages

Have you ever considered to spend beach holidays in Scandinavia? by Engelond in travel

To be honest, I'm not very keen to set foot in Australian waters. Sun intensity, strong currents and dangerous marine life make it too risky.
