That's a bit much.

They speak English in Hawaii.

but not in ISL.

All these languages have been populated by teachers and immigrants. (With the exception of Islian.)

but not in ISL.

I have clearly noted 'English' in the languages used in the ISL.

The UK and US probably have all those languages spoken somewhere, doesn't mean they're made official though.

I said they don't speak Hawaiian there.

it's a commentary about your HUGE offical Language list. :tongue:

Thank you!

Thank you!

For what? And to who?

The newly-divided counties will speak only one language each.

For what? And to who?

To JuNii, for his kind remarks.

The newly-divided counties will speak only one language each.

But what if the majority don't speak Finnish? How can that be official? What if there's a 60-40 split? Do the 40 not get to speak their language?

The county Ljuinregg speaks the Finnish language.

Ok, but how did so many peoples end up in 1 country? Surely there will be sectarian violence? Why haven't you answered my other question?

Look at the population statistics.

I have, and all it tells me is there is a massively unrealistic gap between men and women.

At least two schools in each county teach different languages over the course of 6 to 8 weeks.

And you can master a language in 6-8 weeks?

Yes, indeed.

I went to school every day, and learned every language there is on the face of the earth.

And even then, you could never learn intricacies, such as dialects (not quite as important), things that aren't officially part of the language (slang, local sayings) or be an expert of a language in 6-8 weeks.

It is indeed a true fact that I, Fjornij Havcrotij, learned every language on planet Earth.

If you learned one language per day there still wouldn't be enough time to do that in 10 years.

The Lipada School Regulations are very cunning indeed.

I noticed you skipped my post :p

The newly-divided counties will speak only one language each.
so it's a collection of 'states' then. the centralized Government must be a literal tower of babble.

Yes, indeed.

I went to school every day, and learned every language there is on the face of the earth.

so no math, science, arts, or any other courses... just languages.

Your country couldn't exist in real life, and even if it did it would fall apart after a matter of days.

Sorry, Seathornia

The system back in those days offered 3 hours of Language, 3 of Randomness, 3 of Free Time.

Sorry, Seathornia
The system back in those days offered 3 hours of Language, 3 of Randomness, 3 of Free Time.

So you learned a language in 3 hours evrry day, with no weekends or holidays. Right.

Of term. We did have Saturday and Sunday off.

Du svarede ikke mit spørgsmål, Linpada?

Nevermind, this is bordering on trolling. I'll stop :p

Then how did you learn every language?

You realize this doesn't even make sense right?

Considering the question (which wasn't even a question) was: You didn't answer my question, Linpada.

Then how did you learn every language?

We went to all schools overall for 16 years, from ages 4 to 20.

OK, but you are lying. 1 language per day from 4 to 20, not including weekends and holidays is not enough to learn every language and you didn't understand the "question" that was posed to you, so you blatantly can't speak every language.

You realize this doesn't even make sense right?

Considering the question (which wasn't even a question) was: You didn't answer my question, Linpada.

Nope, it's not. Finns don't speak a Germanic language anyway, or even Indo-European. They're in the Finno-Hungric one.

In fact, it IS Slovenian, because it means "God tommorow, your þat and has."

Just drop the subject!

No, it means good morning, is that a house in Old English.

What does god tomorrow, your þat and has mean, anyway?

Yes, indeed.

I went to school every day, and learned every language there is on the face of the earth.

There are approximately 7000 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_language#Native_language_learning) natural languages on the face of the earth. I defy you to name and provide a sentence in them all.

Incidentally, to learn that many languages in 16 years you would have to learn about 1.2 languages a day, 365 days a year. Rather quicker than the estimate you agreed with of 6-8 weeks. Barring a failure in my maths, it would take between 807 (http://www.google.ie/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-GB%3Aofficial&hs=VWP&q=(6*7000)%2F52&btnG=Search&meta=) and 1076 (http://www.google.ie/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-GB%3Aofficial&hs=kt4&q=(8*7000)%2F52&btnG=Search&meta=) years to learn 7000 languages at a rate of 1 every 6-8 weeks.

He changed it to one per day, but not including weekends and holidays, and it apparently took 16 years.

No, it means good morning, is that a house in Old English.

I think it means Linpada is guessing what the language is and using babelfish.

Caide mar a ta tu, Linpada?
He changed it to one per day, but not including weekends and holidays, and it apparently took 16 years.
Even less plausible. Taking an academic year to be about 170 days, this would be only 2720 languages, at one per day. Not even half way.

Yes, they focused on one language for 1.2 days and did one sentence per minute.

Yes, they focused on one language for 7 weeks and did one sentence per minute.

So you didn't learn one per day then? Like you said you did?

you cannot learn a language by the sentence. you learn it by the word then you need to learn the structure, inflection, dialect...

Oh, and what I said was "How are you, Linpada?" in the Ulster dialect of Gaelic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gailge), without any accents. Most definitely not Catalan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalan_language).

In fact, it IS Slovenian, because it means "God tommorow, your þat and has."

Proof you used an online translator for you were questioning whether it was slovenian or not a few posts before. How would you 'suddenly' remember what it means, particularly because you left two words untranslated. Online translators only translate words which exist in the langauge and pay no attention to grammatical structure, essentially translating each word by itself and then putting them in the order they were put in before being translated.

Now, surely you can name every single language on Earth if you can speak it. I am curious, how would a man in his middle age or older - probably older - find out about NationStates.net? For you say you have a 23 year-old son. I will return with proof of ISL's nonexistence.
