The Danish (Language)

The Danish Language sounds like totally incomprehensible vowel ramblings to most people. A French friend of mine illustrated it quite appropriately. We were lying by a pool with two Danish friends, who were chatting away in their mysterious language. He suddenly said “I can also speak Danish”, stuck his head into the pool and talked under water. It did not sound too bad. I think he stumbled upon a magical translation tool. Any language will sound like Danish when spoken under water. Some Norwegian comedians have made a sketch on this topic. Thank you N for bringing this to my attention.
