Hmmm.. Methinks I've found a remnant of the Shadowclan, eh?

Remember you perhaps the great Khasha'an, prime blah-arranger of the old Irekei "Praklakar" (Shadowbane), and the slightly less old WoW "clan(s)"?

<chuckle, chuckle, chuckle, chuckle..>

Yauw! ..und Yah! Yuuz aenglishe bi praeti wiirdhe, awrait!

Haben sie ein bischien deutchen, prahapz?

My german is sehr bad, smutzliche (?), but so what? We're here to have fun mit dem lingentahken, eh?! <cough!>

My present study is of the irish, gaeilge, these days, and I'm playing around with the "odd" sentence structure of it, which is:

verb - subject (adjective) - [basket for everything except the object] - object (adjective).

..which means this:
The big man quickly took a small swallow.

..becomes this:
took - (The man - big) - quickly - (a swallow - small).


or, likewise:
The local railroad carried me efficiently to my regular job today.

..becomes:
Carried - (the railroad - local) - efficiently - (to my job - regular) - today - me.

(( Source of that info: Philo-Celtic Society ))

Now, ain't THAT loads of fun!?

Have I gotten used to it yet? No, being the lazy fellow that I am.

So, I'll give it a try now:

Talk try you wanna now this like?
(You wanna try to talk like this now?)

Ouch! That hurt...

Bring back the olde Saxon, or Danelaw, ways of doing things, eh?

Let's see, if we bring back "þ-Þ" (thorn), then we have to bring back "ð-Ð" (eth) too, don't we!?

I'm OK with that.

We could just make everybody learn the IPA alphabet, I suppose, and have a REALLY fun time with non-standard orthography! <chuckle!>
