I guess it's sorta like the Spanish version Islandia

 

eece-lahn-dee-ah, if that makes any sense

Hmmm...maybe you could say something like that...but Idk...it's hard for me to say how it's pronounced cuz it's so natural to me...=)

[Sygy]

IDK I will just call it Ice-Len i guess lol

 

god, i love the difference in pronouncation people have, In england it would be Ice-Land with an empathsis on the D, not a Len instead.

[Friðbjörn]

and here it is eece-land (don't pronounce the e I wrote after the c, and land is pronounced as in German! woot)

[littleblackstone]

to who may be interested lol..

 

here is pronounced like

ish-lahn-dee-ah

[Friðbjörn]

I've been to Portugal once

[littleblackstone]

[Sygy]

[Linkin_lp_park]

Here it is just : IJsland XD

[Friðbjörn]

haha I dunno...never came up lol

I'm not fluent though =(

 

I went there for a week in 2001 with my football team

we were in the south part...Faro or near that

it was fun...and hot! xD

 

 

IJsland...does that mean anything? Like in German the name is Island, but to get the meaning right it would have to be Eisland (iceland)

[Sygy]

arnt different languages just fastinating! Im not actaully being sarcastic, i actually find linguistic and the history of language so interesting alongside anthropology!

[Friðbjörn]

haha sweet

same here

me and franka are always talking about this on msn

[Linkin_lp_park]

IJsland...does that mean anything? Like in German the name is Island, but to get the meaning right it would have to be Eisland (iceland)

 

IJsland = Iceland

IJs = Ice

 

[littleblackstone]

Ohh Faro i see

Yeah really hot lol

cool to know that

 

bout all these languages.. i find it fascinating as well ^^

 

ohh forgot to write it: Islândia

[Sygy]

how would u pronounce 'LJ' ??

 

i use to think that dutch would be like a cross between french and german due to its geographical location however it really is language in its own right!!

[Linkin_lp_park]

Some dutch words sound like german words

 

If you look the difference in how you pronounce germany in dutch it is

 

In German = Deutschland

In Dutch = Duitsland :-P

[littleblackstone]

yeah i'v already noticed that Dutch and German languages are similar..

 

btw.. how do u say portuguese in dutch? lol

curious..

[Friðbjörn]

dutch is much more related to German and Old English than French

[Sygy]

yeah i know, i think that its weird though.

has anyone else heard of switerzlands orginal language?

[littleblackstone]

ummm switzerlands no...

is it cool?

[Linkin_lp_park]

yeah i'v already noticed that Dutch and German languages are similar..

 

btw.. how do u say portuguese in dutch? lol

curious..

 

Portugees

[littleblackstone]

Portugees

 

ahh cool

here it's Português

 

i just love this languages thing lol...

[Linkin_lp_park]

Hahaha yeah although I like english more than dutch

[Friðbjörn]

I don't think switzerland has an original language

 

I don't know why the parts of it are seperate from their language associations...like why the Italian part is seperate from Italy

[Sygy]

no aparntly there was an orginally language. like how latin is an old language. its just what i was told. thats all.

[Friðbjörn]

mm it's a mystery!
