It would be interesting if the words from the different islands came from existing languages, for instance (and for myself) I would put French, Portuguese and English, to have the ability to understand how they get mixed
- fatiherikli 10y agoThank you four your feedback. I'll work on that. Maybe I should remove Turkish specific characters.
- DeusExMachina 10y agoYou can pick words from the most common in a given language: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Most_common_words_in_English https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Most_common_words_in_English http://french.languagedaily.com/wordsandphrases/most-common-words http://french.languagedaily.com/wordsandphrases/most-common-... Although languages like English and French are very close and have a lot of cognates already. Maybe it's better to take languages more far apart from each other.
- DonaldFisk 10y agoEnglish and French are only distantly related. There are cognates, but they're hard to recognize: hound - chien, foot - pied, four - quatre. Words you might be thinking are cognates - such as restaurant, police, etc. - are actually loan words. Some are recent, others go back to the Norman Conquest. English is closely related to these languages (in order of closeness): Scots; Frisian; Dutch and German; Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, and Icelandic.
