Hé, dat is niet aardig!
Okay, you convinced me that this is indeed a fake language.
Aardig? Really?
Als we Nieuw Amsterdam niet hadden gegeven aan de Engelsen hadden jullie allemaal Nederlands gesproken! ;-)
We all probably would’ve been better off for it.
Learning Dutch can actually be really useful! For example I, as a Dutchman, like to use my own tongue whenever my Warlock communicates with their devil patron in our D&D games.
GEKOLONISEERD
And somehow still no Slovak.
Given Duolingo is increasingly full of AI slop, it doesn’t surprise me.
they had fake languages before AI…
constructed languages are still languages. They may not be as well fleshed out as languages that developed naturally over time, but you can still learn and speak/write them. Some constructed languages are more complete than others.
yeah, those are real. dutch isn’t
Dutch sounds cool to me, though. I can see why people want to learn it even if it’s not real language.
Sending this to every Dutch person I know
