Re: Essential Swedish?

Merhaba!

Estonian is essentially an inflecting form of Finnish whose lexicon is just
Finnish mangled by syncope and apocope with a whole bunch of foreign words
pretending to be native.

Polish is essentially Russian spoken by people who thought it was French and
had to sound awful.

Hungarian is essentially a mangling of Uralic, Turkic, Slavic, and German
words, with a remarkably Uralicesque grammar.

Swedish is essentially Norwegian plus vowels with tremas.

Georgian is essentially a hybrid of altered IE grammar and Arabic, Persian,
Turkish, and Russian vocabulary.

Romanian is essentially Latin spoken by Slavs.

French is essentially Latin forced to comply with destructive sound changes
and German influence.

Ithkuil is essentially an unending phonetic and grammatical nightmare which
attempts to combine all the world's natlangs together into one big stew of
unlearnibility and unspeakibility.
