Only Dutch. It sounds entirely unintelligible.

I'm still not convinced they aren't just trolling us by making random nonsensical sounds and pretending it's a language.

Not at all. Other languages exist, so there's no real reason to complain when I hear one being spoken.

It's hilarious how some people are really bothered by it, though. Earlier I was on TF2 and this kid went fucking mental over two other players speaking Italian on the ingame text chat. It was fucking weird.

I mean, take any language at all: Arabic, German, French, Spanish, etc. Even if you can't understand what's being said, they all sound like languages - they're sensible, coherent.

And then you have Dutch, which is just fucking babble.

That's the other thing about Dutch: it looks retarded, too. Like a mentally challenged child's poor attempt at writing English.

I grabbed this off the web and submitted it to Google and then Babelfish aka Bing.
Ofschoon het Classicisme sedert anderhalve eeuw in onze dichterwereld onbeperkt den scepter gezwaaid had en in de eerste dertig jaren onzer eeuw nog uitsluitend den toon aangaf in onze Kunst en in onze opvoeding1), doen zich eindelijk kenteekenen op van reactie en romantische richting. Jacob Van Lennep, ontegenzeggelijk in menig opzicht geestverwant van Bilderdijk en Da Costa, en in zekeren zin tot de school van den meester te rekenen, daar hij althans in zijn studententijd een ‘volbloed Bilderdijkiaan’ was2), terwijl hij in den voorzang tot Jacoba en Bertha (bl. 8) verklaarde, dat in Bilderdijk

Both end up with imperfections. Google gives the best Gist of it.

Given when 10 people read wot i rite each has a different read from wot i rote.

I used to work for a vietnamese family, and they'd speak english to me, but then switch languages when they wanted to discuss private matters, or perhaps even talk about me. Which I found bothersome.

I knew a kid with french parents who tried that shit, but I speak a small amount of french, so I was able to call them on it.
