| The sea is called "more" in most Slavic languages (Slovak, Serbian, Czech...)

| Yes, that too, just to make your point off course. Nice language actually very descriptive but completely useless outside Italy, Switzerland and some parts of Argentina. |

 | My favorite "language" joke: Three guys are debating about which of their languages is the most pleasing to the ear. The Spaniard says, "Consider the word for 'butterfly'. In Spanish, it is pronounced 'Mariposa', a beautiful sounding word. "The French man says, "True, but Papillion, the French word for butterfly, is even more beautiful." "What's wrong with Schmetterlink," asks the German?

So a british lady is delighted because she gets to hear Bismark speak while she is in Berlin. But speaking no German, she hires an interpreter. They meet, and find their seats. Bismark starts speaking... And continues... And continues... Finally, the lady can't stand it any more and asks the interpreter, "What is he saying?" To which the Berliner replies, "Patience, Madam. I'm waiting for the verb."
