Re: [romanceconlang] C'est grec à moi (was : Question on Italic languages)

En réponse à James Campbell :



I have a Danish friend who uses the expression "It sounds like Volapük to
me" (rough translation from the Danish). The first time I heard her say it I
almost fell off my chair. She maintains it's a common expression.
I've indeed heard that it was a common expression in some languages, including Danish (not French, we have Chinese and Hebbrew for that part ;)) ). FWIW, it's also the expression in Esperanto ;))) (I heard the verb "volapuki" for "speaking in an ununderstanble language" ;)) ).

You need a straight mind to invent a twisted conlang.
