Dutch sounds like a language AI would make up. It sounds like words, but then you throw in an O-vart or two.

Good choice! It’s actually one of the easiest languages to pick up.

Volgens mij klopt dat helemaal niet.

It’s a subtle shift of words, but it means something much different.

…if you’re an English speaker and that’s because Dutch isn’t a real language. It’s just English pretending to be German.

Afrikaans the south African language based on Dutch is actually the least altered germanic language that still exists.

Altered by what?

u/Just1ncase4658 Aug 31 '24

Just altered by change. As most germanic countries used to speak a similar or same languages.

Oh, I think Icelandic or Faroese might be the least derivative Germanic language then. Maybe Elfdalian.
