They'd never allow a song with "dick" or "cock" in its lyrics to be played on the radio in North America. We're so prudish unlike you progressive Europeans....
In the Yahoo Group "Foreign Languages", the subject at one time was the pronunciation of <r> in the Netherlands. One of our members from the Netherlands wrote...
That 'Gooise r' sounds a bit like a suppressed vomiting to me, and I would always prefer the trilled r, or, as a second choice, the uvukar r. But then, I'm not...
Sorry, sent to early, I'll finish my message now: Listen up please guys. I hope you're enjoying the funny Dutch movies I sent here the last few weeks, but... ...
Yes, I'm all for it. And I would favour frenkish. The annoying apostophe could simply be replaced by an 'e' (and pronounced like a 'schwa' or dropped...
I agree with Hermann that the apostrophe should be replaced with 'e', and that <j> in words such as <berejt>, <naij>, etc. should be replaced with <ch>...
Thanks Andrew, I agree on most points, but I still think an AE sound is necessary, and it's part of the already existing Frenkisch, which imo we shouldn't want...
Many of those "improvements" to my beloved Frenkisch are already a part of the dictionary that I did for Folksprak earlier this year. It's essentially the...
Well I really don't think it matters whether one takes Folksprak or Frenkish (or Middelsprake) as the international Germanic auxiliary language. Since...
Use the dictionaries in the "Wordboken" folder of the Yahoo Folkspraak group. The words in those dictionaries are folksprakified -- eg "bok" instead of "bouk",...
Embarrassing: I tried to print the English to Folksprak Wordbook at my office yesterday, but the file was so immense, the copies kept coming. I didn't know how...
Ah so gjenant! Ummm.... that could run into hundreds if not 1000s of pages. Especially the HTML file, because it's not formatted for nice-looking or efficient ...
I think I've done something similar. I opened the HTML in Word then did several/many find-and-replaces, copied to Excel, did some text to columns, then back...

Du is bar alder als ek! Nu is niht de tid to pensionaere di! Ek ha makede en nyw Wordbok for di. Dis is bloet 107 A4-bladen! ... [Non-text portions of this...
But I'm still from the sweet sixties, you know (l'annee fameuse de soixante-neuf)... Anyway, far out that you made our Wordbok "tiny", now I'll have to wait...
Hi. Where can I get a link to a provisional grammar or word-list? You don't have the equivalent of online 'conversational groups' in Folkspraak. My native...
Veel dank, Ingmar. Sal wat u gestuur het gaan verken. Ek wens daar was een cursus om te volg. Sou graag op die ou end iets daarin wou skryf as oefening. ...
Hallo, Ingmar. Daar is ongelukkig nie een woordelys beschikbaar as ek die skakel volg nie. Laat my weet as u miskien een ander skakel tot dit het. Groeten en...
