USA, American!!! See, I don't think we should be calling the language Americans speak 'English', because...well, frankly, it's not. There are a number of different words and spellings Americans use, and vice versa.

Valkyrie 12-30-2003, 10:35 PM Hey anyone from a spanish speaking place? Noo, but I speak spanish though. ;) LesPaul59 12-30-2003, 10:54 PM *gasp* What a surprise! USA, American!!! See, I don't think we should be calling the language Americans speak 'English', because...well, frankly, it's not. There are a number of different words and spellings Americans use, and vice versa. No it's just different dialects, such as Mandorin Chinese vs. Cantonese Chinese vs. Simplified Chinese, or German vs. Swiss German vs. Austrian German vs. possible Liechtenstein dialect....I dunno if they have one. They are all slightly different, but still the same :P <edit>OH Duh....lol America, English</edit> Loren 12-30-2003, 11:03 PM I've heard some of the german dialects are so different the swiss germans can hardly understand the austrian german's. LesPaul59 12-30-2003, 11:08 PM I've heard some of the german dialects are so different the swiss germans can hardly understand the austrian german's. Yup I have also heard that...see I just go for normality. I know German-german, and Mandorin-Chinese (The national language one) so it just makes it easier :P Rosey 12-30-2003, 11:31 PM Yup I have also heard that...see I just go for normality. I know German-german, and Mandorin-Chinese (The national language one) so it just makes it easier :P i'll go for cantanese anyday :P mandorin just hurts my ears. alsace (region of france) has a germanic dialect too, very similar to german. It's only a spoken language although they have started to write it in the last few years, probably to keep it alive. Owlie42 12-31-2003, 12:00 AM I've heard some of the german dialects are so different the swiss germans can hardly understand the austrian german's. There's a German exchange student in orchestra, and a group of us were talking before a concert. He said that he met a girl from Switzerland and could hardly understand what she said. LesPaul59 12-31-2003, 06:23 PM Yup...that's why I make it a point to not talk to my Grammie in German. I know German German and she knows Swiss German. Wow the one time a tried....she made me change how I spoke. Old people are so stubborn....well atleast she is :P Lissa 12-31-2003, 06:40 PM US/American English ;) Ravie 01-01-2004, 02:31 PM Australia, but I have lived in the United States since I was 2 and English |
