Thanks. And yes, originally I hesitate between a Polish and a Czech
orthography. When I can't choose, I usually take both. ;)

Out of curiosity, may I ask which sentence you used for that?
Oh, and if you want something else translated into Wenedyk, don't hesitate to
ask me!

In Europe? Oh, there's still a lot of work left. I don't think someone has ever
tried Balto-Romance, Finno-Romance, Magyaro-Romance, Dutcho-Romance... And
what's more worrying, I've never seen any serious effort to create a
Greek-Romance!
OTOH, we do have Irano-Romance, Indo-Romance, Hebraeo-Romance, Sino-Romance...

My intuition says: rather "constructio linguarum".

Ouch! That reminds me: we don't have any Georgian-Romance either!
I wouldn't have anything against seeing some more samples, I should add.

Oh, and Andreas, what a pity that you can't come to Zaandam. I sincerily hope
you can make it at some later point.
