HIlarious thread started by @Loukas of danes, dutch, germans and swedes slagging off the length of words and sounds in each others languages.

But seriously, have you ever seen Greenlandic (Kalaallisut) written down ?

One day I'm going to try and learn some of this language. But not today...

It looks wonderful!

It looks (to my uneducated eye) like a mixture of Sami and Nunavut 🤔

@grb090423 @Loukas Probabaly closest to Nunavut (especially in the north - where the language is very close and quite a bit different to southern Greenlandic). NOt sure about sami, but when google translate is given Kalaallisut, it generally tries to translate it as finnish (which doesn't work)

Ah, that's interesting.

Have to say I only know a couple of Nunavut words thanks to following @NunavutBirder who posts beautiful images of their homeland and very kindly translates the odd term.
