Could you please give us a fact about your language?
Jackson Robinson
Yes it does. Do you even know your language?
Bentley Roberts
which language is this and how do you differentiate between them?

It's sometimes considered a separate branch of Slavic languages called Lechitic along with Kashubian and Silesian as we're the only Slavic languages to retain nasal vowels. I think Polish is the most unique Slavic language by far
Cooper Baker
We have inclusive and exclusive 'we' which makes it really easy to tell if You're invited to things or not

Afrikaans has some of the loosest grammer rules in all of the indo-european family, as well as loan words from French, German, English and various SEA and African languages. (Its closest linguistic relative is actually Flemish dutch).
As a result of the loose grammer (making Afrikaans an exeptionally easy language to learn) dutch speakers can almost completely understand Afrikaans, but complain that it sounds like a baby talking and lossely stringing together words to form sentences.
Afrikaans does not have a strict sentence structure or sintax. The standard is
>Subject, Verb, Time, Object, Manner, verb, Infintive
But the kicker is that the sentence can start with any of those things and still be completely gramatically correct. I am not a linguist, so this is the most I can talk about without being over my head. I will ask my Zulu and Xhosa speakingfriends if they can tell me anything. But you all probably know about the click sounds. Those are holdovers from the assimilation of the khoi san by bantu settlers (That is the most credible theory. Clicks are actually not that common in the bantu family.)

There is no official Norwegian language. It is the collection of different dialects and two different written forms. People wrote in Danish or Swedish until 100 years ago.
