Kinda weird to isolate Polish when Hungarian, Finnish and Basque are actually all their own distinct language families.
Polish actually isn't in a distinct language family and shares a lot with other western Slavic languages like Czech, and Slavic languages in general.
Me, a non European who only speaks english, so true
Haha yeah I get it.
*cries at Greek
Ä, ö, ü, am i a joke to you?
Ä, ö, ü, õ, š, ž are just there to allow for phonemic ortography, biatch!
Though then again, I'm fairly sure that the weird Polish letters.
Also if your native tongue DOES have phonemic ortography.... Well guess how difficult it was for 6 year old me in Estonia to start learning English where the words are clearly not written the same way they're spoken????
It gets worse hearing older people here speak English because most of them did NOT start learning the language at age 5 or 6 so uhhhh... Yeah they expect the words to be pronounced the way they're spelled. Makes your ears bleed.
I don't think you could get the speakers of all the European languages to agree on which one is normal.
It has to be French right?
Inappropriate use of vowels, 10 yard penalty for the defense
Sure you can everyone in france know theirs is the only real language. Don't believe me? Just ask someone from france.
but we can all agree hungarian isn't
You could if we had won. /s
We used to have a server at my university which a polish guy set up. It received the name brzeczyszczykiewich. We decided that the server was secure enough by name, so we only put a trivial password on it for remote connection.
Are you sure it wasn't "brzeczyszczykiewicz" (difference in last two letters)? Otherwise it seems like a little typo, which, to be fair, would be a good idea to keep it safe from Polish people haha
I'm completely sure, like 100%, fully positive without a single doubt... that I misspelled it and I would never be able to access the server again.
Can we also get some translation or something. This might shock you, but not all of us are polish.
Whew. Good. I thought it was just me.
There is no translation, it's just a hard to pronounce Polish surname.
