Comment on Why Is English Awash in Sailors' Jargon? | Otherwords
MintyFresh@lemmy.world 2 months agoI’d love to hear a few more! I came across some Frisian media once. It wasn’t mutually intelligible with English, but it seemed close. I could understand some fragments and meaning, much like the native English speaker could pick up some stuff from romance languages. It’s so weird to see how languages bump up and into(out of?) each other.

Frisian is an entirely different beast, and even speaking Dutch doesn’t help you that much to make sense of it.
