[MaximumZero]

Aaargh! Google translate does not translate! >.<

The forever bane of those reading romanized versions of character based languages.

What language is that anyways? I was following them all up until that point.

I figured it was Chinese, but it didn't compute.

Whispers and I are typing un-toned Mandarin pinyin. His reads 'My name is Maximum Zero, you killed my father (guessing here, I suppose 'sha' is kill)

Mine reads 'I am three German lawyers.'

-Goeiemorgen, ik ben 10ebbor10 en ik vind het hier best wel gezellig
-Bonjous, je suis 10ebbor10 et je m'amuse ici
-Ich bin 10ebbor10 und,...

Living in a country with 3 official languages is great isn't it.

[Dutchling]

Haha, mine has four! Too bad I can't speak West Frisian or Papiamento, which only leaves me with Dutch and English.

[RedKing]

Protip: If you're writing un-toned pinyin, at least stick the syllables together when they're in the same word.

Wo shi san wei Deguo de lushi.

Which more literally means "I am three lawyers of Germany."

Try this one:
Wo de qidianchuan chongman le shanyu.

I don't know if any more than half of them are considered national, but it's mandatory to study four languages in school here. No wonder literacy rate's so high, if half the populace is quadriliteral.

Okay, that wasn't so good a pun as I thought.

My seven o'clock ship was filled with sharks? Not too sure, and this is ages since I've spoken Chinese.

Pretty close. Shark is shayu. Actually, I just cut and pasted that and didn't check it first, last word should probably be manyu.
"My hovercraft is full of eels." (qidianchuan is literally "vapor-cushion-ship")

[Descan]

Zhongguo is a fucking weird country.

In other news, anyone know where I can learn Gaelic? You know, for giggles.

I have little fragments of French re-entering my mind, but not enough to make a sentence longer than 'hello, my name is greatorder'

Omelette du fromage, omelette du fromage, omelette du fromage...
