Kenneth skrev/skreiv:

Dât as ai lacht än snââk tjüsch.> "It is not easy to speak German."

Det er ei /ikkje lett å tale/snakke tysk.  (nno.)
Det er ikke lett å snakke/prate tysk. (no.)  (Det æ'kke lett å snakke tysk)
Det är inte lätt att prata tysk.  (sv.)

ei, ikke, inkje, itte, itt', ikkje (norsk)
ei, ikke, ett (dansk)                                          =  all  forms
of "not" standard and dialectal
ej, inte, icke (svensk)

no. /  nno.  <å>
sv.  <att>                               =  om ... te / um ..... zu / to
da.  <at>

 Norsk  - "<at> also means "that" .... but <at> and <å> are not related.

Sometimes people write "å" instead "og"  (and) but this is just bad
norwegian
The pronunciation is virtually them same in most dialects depending on which
part of the sentence is stressed. Pronounced very much like english "awe" or
as in war, paw etc otherwise "og" has a voiced "g" same as english "g" as in
"go". The swedish "och" has a short vowel and a voiced "ch"(k)

The scandinavian languages have hundreds of loan words from "niedertysk" and
I am sure that there are many words that have been borrowed from norrøn and
incorporated into the low languages. I have recognised many more
similarities between the nordic languages and frisian than dutch, german and
afrikaans.
