- If there’s two things I cannot fucking stand, it’s people who are intolerant of other’s cultures… And the Dutch. - But you repeat yourself. - -source: used to live in southern Africa 
- Apart from the joke, I think everyone should be intolerant of intolerance - Exaxtly. Please stop tolerating your own intolerance. It is intolerable. 
 
 
 
- All languages are fake… 
 If its a functional language then its a language like any other.- i will accept this argument for high valyrian and klingon… but dutch, rlly? 
- Yeah, imperative languages suck anyway 
 
 
- Hé, dat is niet aardig! - Today’s challenge: is it Dutch or Klingon - To many throaty sounds to be Klingon - Grachtengordel. Scheveningen. Qapla’. 
 
 
- Okay, you convinced me that this is indeed a fake language. - Aardig? Really? - Als we Nieuw Amsterdam niet hadden gegeven aan de Engelsen hadden jullie allemaal Nederlands gesproken! ;-) - We all probably would’ve been better off for it. 
 
 
 
- Any language that has ‘stroopwafel’ cannot be a serious language. - Man, they’re good though. - don’t forget “ we hebben een serieus probleem ” 
 
- Dutch spelling makes more sense than English spelling and English speakers have to live with that fact - we hebben een serieus probleem 
- Not if I don’t know Dutch 
 
- Learning Dutch can actually be really useful! For example I, as a Dutchman, like to use my own tongue whenever my Warlock communicates with their devil patron in our D&D games. 
- And somehow still no Slovak. 
- How could you forget about Esperanto, you… - Ah because it’s a real one. Fine then. 
- GEKOLONISEERD 
- Klingon is a better constructed language then most. - deleted by creator - Maj 
 
- than 
 
- constructed languages are still languages. They may not be as well fleshed out as languages that developed naturally over time, but you can still learn and speak/write them. Some constructed languages are more complete than others. - yeah, those are real. dutch isn’t 
 
- Given Duolingo is increasingly full of AI slop, it doesn’t surprise me. - they had fake languages before AI… 
 
- Dutch sounds cool to me, though. I can see why people want to learn it even if it’s not real language.
