Christian James Meredith (Whoops, nevermind SPS site not following this thread, I'm hardly following the thread either - sleep deprivation. Deleted my nonsense post).
Sarah Karoline Have my rounds and my multiple wins been cast into the Dark Seas of Sprogspeel? Oh weh!
These days I don't know who to tag! I might start tagging random people, even if they don't play SpS

Christian James Meredith As for that Latin, I'm gonna stay out of this round. I might not understand it straight away but gimme Wiktionary and I'll kill the fun 
Sarah Karoline Kevin: Two stages :O That's not good!
Christian: What a good idea. Shame it's not possible. I'll stick to random Facebookers. [Random name retracted]

Helene Wiinholt I'll just give it a try.
It's Greek; it cannot be read.
If you are able to read this sign, you can get a good job in the brisk and productive affairs of Latin.
..Or something. Maybe I should just go bake some pastries?

Sarah Karoline Helene You're a master pastry baker and reader of Latin!
You're so close to winning, so I'll locate my Danish resources
Thanks to Billy for reviewing in my absence!

Here's some more cake!

Helene Wiinholt Oh look, I managed to win a round on my own. That's gotta be a new best. ...And I sorta wanted to do a round in Bornholmsk, but I can't find much on grammar and a dictionary for you guys, so that wouldn't be fair. I'll figure something out.
Sarah Karoline You get a Master Baker's Danish pastry for single-handedly winning a Latin round! Bornholmsk sounds good, so it's a shame about the resources :/. I'm sure you'll find something evil!
Brad Wilson I just looked up Bornholm on the map, and was thinking about dialects on the other islands. Also, I didn't realize how close Denmark and Sweden were to each other - even a bridge from Copenhagen to Malmö. Always learning.
Brad Wilson ? The road sign on the bridge says København ... is this the Danish or the Swedish spelling?
Brad Wilson Interesting that -havn / -hamn / -hagen would arise. I can see a relation between v/m, but the g must be an English mis-hearing.
Anna Robbins The V is actually more like a U in the case of 'havn' it might function as a W in English, actually.
it might function as a W in English, actually.Helene Wiinholt Okay. So because I'm very bad at deciding, you can choose between a poem in Sønderjysk (Danish dialect spoken by the border to Germany), or a poem written in old Danish by my great-something grandfather back in 1940.
Helene Wiinholt Not as in 'Old Norse/Old Danish', but anything more than a few decades old is considered 'old Danish' by most Danes because Danish has changed so much the last century and we don't use the language the same way anymore.
Helene Wiinholt Nope. The Danish that older people (and the Queen) speaks, can be quite different from the 'modern'.
