Then there is Drew Carey's show of a few years ago, "Whose line is it
anyway?"
(is it still on? I rarely watch TV anymore...) where one of the skits
that he
and others would do would be to improvise conversations in languages
they
obviously wouldn't know. Occasionally the results were close in sound
to their
intended languages. Most often they were laughable (which was the point
anyway...)
