To mark the European Day of Languages on Saturday 26th September, do visit the Council of Europe site. There are lots of smiling linguists and a game to test your linguistic skills.
We've also had fun recently with a site which machine translates from English to various dialects. English to Yorkshire? English to Brummie? Try here.

You might want to take a look at Esperanto too. I recopmment it!
ReplyDeleteCan I support Bill Chapman, especially as little is known about this unique language.
ReplyDeleteWith regard to the European Day of Languages 2010, you may be interested to know that several British schools have introduced Esperanto in order to test its propaedeutic value.
You can see details on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INCr1bV8kGk
The Council of Europe has also provided some phrases and expressions in Esperanto, which you can see here http://www.goethe.de/ins/se/prj/ets/mlg/gep/enindex.htm
Thanks for your comments gentlemen. I do think that the idea of Esperanto is a fascinating one. Mark @ Alexika.
