Dutch is supposedly one of the closest languages to English, but it sounds like a tape of someone speaking English played in reverse to me. I only know English and some Spanish though, so non-Latin languages are mostly a mystery to me.

irl something shorted on the shuttle and laika overheated and died within a few hours of liftoff and for a brief while one could look up to the stars and see a light shooting across the sky that was actually a warm dog corpse slingshoting about the earth at thousands of miles per hour which was arguably humanity's greatest achievement so far

Dutch is German and English mixed up. Sounds hilarious to Germans btw :lol:

They also include french words because it's trendy.

Example : Ordering an orange juice, I managed to pronounce sinaasappelsap then the shopkeeper proceeded to say "haa, een jus d'orange !"

How you bend the word "store"(kauppa) in Finnish:
http://www.ling.helsinki.fi/~fkarlsso/genkau2.html

~2250 variations.

Can be done with any noun.
Quoted for extreme truth. Finnish is quite brutal for a non-native speaker to learn.
