For those unaware, 'spraak' is 'speech' in Dutch.

[spraak → orlp]

Hehe good catch! (and also 'language' in Norwegian)

[lomnakkus → spraak]

Well, with the "å"[1] it is :). Also in Swedish, I think?

Danish has "sprog" which sounds a lot funnier if you say it "in English". In Danish it sounds quite similar to språk -- just soften everything until it turns into a mush of vowels.

[1] For people not versed in Scandiwegian, there's this tradition of "å" -> "aa", "æ" -> "ae", "ø/ö" -> "oe" from the olden days... which is surprisingly useful even in these days of (one would hope) "pervasive" Unicode. :)

[spraak → lomnakkus]

It's common to write aa as å when it's not available (though I only assumed it wouldn't work in HN, maybe it does). Also historically it was aa and became å

Edit: work as in for a username.

[kuschku → lomnakkus]

And in low German it’s Spraak, and in high German it’s Sprache.

So close, yet so far.

[lomnakkus → kuschku]

Pfff... you fools! :p

> and also 'language' in Norwegian

Only for those without a Norwegian keyboard.

Should be språk.

[spraak → kwhitefoot]

True.. språk is how I meant it, but I couldn't register as that on HN. å evolved from aa..
