      The Language Thread

      Hi. I was mindlessly surfing around DV a few days ago, and I came by this really genius post your accent thread . But then I thought: "what about all the DreamViewers who do not speak English very good/don't have an particular accent?"

      And that why I'm making this thread!

      I'm going to be unoriginal and take the same bit of text as the other thread. From the book Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban:

      The Firebolt

      This state-of-the art racing broom sports a stream-lined, superfine handle of ash, treated with a diamond-hard polish and hand-numbered with its own registration number.

      Each individually selected birch twig in the broomtail has been honed to aerodynamic perfection, giving the Firebolt unsurpassable balance and pinpoint precision.

      The Firebolt has an acceleration of 150 miles an hour in ten seconds and incorporates an unbreakable Braking Charm.

      Price on request.


      So, if you want to post, write the text in your language, then in your accent (in the language you're speaking...)
      You can also record your voice reading the text in your language
      Of course, if your English speaking, you can post your voice too
      I thought this could be fun, thinking about all the different people here at DV

      You want me to actually interpret it or to search how it was translated in the actual translation?
      Jujutsu is the gentle art. It's the art where a small man is going to prove to you, no matter how strong you are, no matter how mad you get, that you're going to have to accept defeat. That's what jujutsu is.

      Unelias: You can translate it by yourself, or try to find the original translation
      Xei: I don't expect people to own the books, you can translate the text by yourself

      Tulipallo

      Tämä viimeistä teknistä kehitystä edustava kilpaluuta komeilee virtaviivaisella, huippuhienosta saarnista tehdyllä varrella, joka on käsitelty timantinkovalla kiillotteella. Rekisterinumero on käsinkaiverrettu.

      Jokainen yksilöllisesti valittu koivunvitsa luudanharjassa on hiottu aerodynaamiseen täydellisyyteen, mikä antaa Tulipallolle lyömättömän tasapainon ja huikean tarkkuuden.

      Tulipallo kiihtyy 240:en kilometrin tuntinopeuteen kymmenessä sekunnissa ja sisältää rikkumattoman Jarruloitsun.

      Hinta pyydettäessä.

      Pew pew. Own translation, doesn't make much justice, but I don't have that book. I didn't think much about how fluent it is. About accent it is hard to say... accents don't work that easily in Finnish since you practically write it totally different too if you want to.. I can try later to put it in Savonian accent, just for comparison.

      De Vuurflits

      Deze race bezem van een scherp staaltje technologie bestaat uit een gestroomlijnde, superfijne handvat van as, behandelt met 'n harde diamand lak en hand geprint met zijn eigen registratie nummer

      Elk individueel geselecteerde berkehout stokske in de bezemstaart is geslijpt tot aerodynamische perfectie, wat de Vuurflits onovertrefbare balans en speldkop accurate precisie geeft.

      De Vuurflits heeft een acceleratie van 240 kilometer per uur in tien seconden en bevat een onbreekbare talisman voor het remmen.

      Prijs op aanvraag.

      It's in dutch.
      There's two accents as far as I know of, the Dutch accent and the Flemish accent. The most infamous difference being the dutch hard G. Wich we Flemish don't have, we have a soft G.

      So, here it goes:

      Lynkilen

      Limen med det absolutt siste i teknologi!
      Det strømmlinjeformede, supertynne askeskaftet er behandlet med diamanthard lakk, med sitt eget individuelle, håndmalte registreringsnummer.

      Hver enkelt spesialutvalgte kvist er slipt til aerodynamisk perfeksjon. Dette gir Lynkilen en uslåelig balanse og total presisjon.

      Lynkilen akselererer på 10 sekunder fra 0-250 km/t og er forhekset med en ubrytelig bremseformel.

      Pris på forespørsel

      And now in my accent/dialect:

      Lynkilen

      Limen me de absolutt siste innen teknologi!
      Det strømmlinjeforma, supertynne askeskafte e behandla me diamanthar lakk, me sitt eget individuelle, hanmalte registreringsnommer

      Vær ænkelt spesialutvalgte kvist e slipt til aerodynamisk perfeksjon. De hær gir Lynkilen en uslåeli balanse og total presisjon.

      Lynkilen akselerere på 10 sekund fra 0-250 km/t, å e forheksa me en ubryteli bræmseformel

      Pris på forespørsel

      Danish:

      Lynkosten.

      Kosten med den absolut nyeste teknologi! Det strømmlinjeformede, super-tynde aske aks behandlet med diamant hårde belægninge, med sin egen individuelle, håndmalede registreringnummer. Hver særligt udvalgte filial er slebet til aerodynamisk perfektion. Dette giver Lynkosten en uovertruffen balance og samlet præcision. Lynkilen accelererer på 10 sekunder fra 0 til 250 km/t og er fortryllet med en ubrydelig bremsning formel.

      Pris på forespørgsel.

      (Yes, Danish and Norwegian looks like eachother, because Norway once, many, many years ago, was a part of Denmark. )

      All you three sound alike. Except Danish is like speaking Swedish or Norwegian with a hot potato in your mouth
