Then you'll probable understand most of that flash movie Jazx. It's very funny. But unfortunately only in Dutch.

I understood a lot of that actually, especially the 'OORLOG' part, we called a kid that in Namibia who got his foot blown off in the war there.

My German friend says that Dutch sounds like baby talk.
- JazX0
Ja man, it was a lot about Saddam I think. It's pretty well done graphically as well.

- JazX0

Really frow? I hear from most americans that they hate the way we prunounce the g. It's hard to explain how it sounds.

Nie man, the 'G' in Dutch is beautiful. I love to say that Gkkkkkhhhhhhhhhhhh from the back of your mouth. It's so much fun, it's also spoken in Arabic and Hebrew.

Dutch n' Afrikaans es lekker
- reluct0
True ;) But the Arabs and Hebrews have a softer version. I like it too. THe only thing I hate about it is that it hurts your voice after a long conversation.

Ja, Afrikaans is also tiring after a while and hurts your face. It was fun to learn while in South Africa, don't blame the language for apartheid, blame the people. I for one like to speak it.

Haha :) Oh yeah I almost forgot. The movie is a child's view on the war. In terms of entertainment values.

Afrikaans is baby Dutch they have these funny words for ice like Blokkies and shit, they like made up their own words for what they thought was Dutch, it's hilarious actually! LOL

Yeah it sounds really weird. I think it's easier to understand German than Afrikaans for most Dutch. I really love it though. It makes you rethink your language.
Belgian Dutch is sometimes very strange too.

Afrikaans is a very funny/cute abbreviation of Dutch.....
I must laugh a lot, even when i see serious documentaries about sud afrika...
- JazX0
you know what guys, it's actually I think a form of Flemish, which isn't that more Belgian/Dutch, if you look at a lot of their last names they do have Dutch stuff like Van Der Gouw, Van Scalkwyk etc., but then again lots of them have French names like LeRoux etc.

Cy your so right, they take themselves so seriously and yet most Dutch laugh at them senseless, it's all good to me, but yeah it's a cute language
