No, Vietnamese actually originates from Africa and still bears many similarities to Zulu.

Finnish is indoeuropean..? And it is the easiest one too..? Um...
Mrs Magoo   Fri Mar 02, 2007 2:34 pm GMT
Sorry, my mistake, no it isn't Indo-European. It is still the easiest on that list though.
Calliope   Fri Mar 02, 2007 2:36 pm GMT
"It is still the easiest on that list though."

I suppose that depends on what one's native language is. May I ask what yours is, Mrs Magoo?

Mrs Magoo you're stupid and your list is entirely wrong. English is the most EASIEST language in teh world! Italian is second easiest, than comes Spanish and French. YOu think Polish and Finnish are the easiest?? hahah which one of those do you speak btw??? And what about Albanian I bet that'd be easy for you too ahaha
Mrs Magoo   Fri Mar 02, 2007 2:47 pm GMT
I speak them all obviously, or I would be in no position to judge. My native language is Tagalog.
Mrs Magoo   Fri Mar 02, 2007 2:55 pm GMT
As for Albanian I have learnt some. From what I saw it looked pretty straightforward structure-wise, but you're right, it could get much harder at a more advanced level.
Alba   Fri Mar 02, 2007 4:10 pm GMT
Da vero Mrs. Magoo...tu posso parlare Italiano e Albanese?? Dirmi qualcosa in Italiano o Albanese, or in Espagnol, or in any of those languages you speak :]
Mrs Magoo   Fri Mar 02, 2007 4:17 pm GMT
Was soll ich denn sagen? Kannst du mir vielleicht ein Thema vorschlagen?
Alba   Fri Mar 02, 2007 4:20 pm GMT
Yo credo que es muy impresivo que tu puedo hablar todo esos linguas. Si tu deseo, decir algo in Espagnol, Czech, Polish, Dutch, Italiano etc.

ps: I apologize in advance to all the Spanish speaking natives, I dont mean to butcher your beautiful language, but Im learning. :]
Alba   Fri Mar 02, 2007 4:21 pm GMT
Ooook just stick with the Italian, Spanish, or Albanian I dont speak the other ones, lol
