27 February 2006

This is a languages thread. →[More:]And this is English, because my high school French is very rusty and I don't want to embarrass myself. How many different languages can this thread contain?

Just curious how many can see agro's second (instead of boxes or question marks, say)... I'm always wondering how many people have greek language support.

I'll add some Greeklish:

Ella tora, kids - let's pame.

Which reminds me, I think we have a local Esperanto expert... but I can't remember who.

I can see it here at work, but I bet I can't see it at home.

I see it taz. I think most computers have the support - it's just a matter of setting your browser's encoding... hmm, and having the proper font installed. And agro's a cheater. :)

Estudio espańol, y yo necesito a estudiar por un examen. (that's how i would say it...examen is male, and necisito is necesito. and i don't think they say "they take spanish" like us.)

S amott a harmadik
A tölött fegyverek
A fehér hóra le
Piros vérünk csepeg

Fázunk és éhezünk
s atlőve oldalunk
Részünk minden nyomor
De szabadok vagyunk!

Or perhaps more appropriate to the venue,

Megy a nyuszika az erdőben...

God, tilda, it took me like 10 tries to get it right. I ended up using <code> and a bunch of &nbsp; to get everything formatted correctly.
