Alessandro17 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 It seems to me that the majority of topics here are in Dutch. I know, most Dutch speak fluent English, so they don't really need a Dutch section. What do you think? Should I create a Dutch subforum? If the answer is yes, I'll need one or more local mods.

Alessandro17 Posted December 10, 2011 Author Share Posted December 10, 2011 First steps taken. Dutch subforum created, added one mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaldMeister Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 If you need another mod, i would like to apply, just for this forum. Seems kind of dead, also stated in the welcome section of that forum. Most of us speak English/German, or at least, we understand it. Personally i think this section is not needed.

Alessandro17 Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 Sorry, I just read your post. OK, I'll make you a local mod, possibly tomorrow (it is now 1:35 AM CET). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ameris_cyning Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Can we get a Frisian language sub forum, or are you gonna lump us in with the Dutch like you people always do? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat_7 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Oh wait! I'm also a native speaker of "Limburgs", but my Frisian surname might suggest roots elsewhere ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro17 Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 Can we get a Frisian language sub forum, or are you gonna lump us in with the Dutch like you people always do? by the same token we should start a Welsh and an Irish forum. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ameris_cyning Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 by the same token we should start a Welsh and an Irish forum. Irish language is actually the majority language now in Ireland. Irish will be the second language to be successfully revived (the other is Hebrew). I am sure one day the Anglish folk will purify English and remove its foreign borrowings. Anyways, I am pretty damn wasted right now, so I shall get to the point: it is best to never make assumptions that language families can always overlap. Frisian and Dutch are two different languages. Welsh and Irish are completely different languages. Like Portuguese and Spanish: they both sound the same, they both look a lot a like, but if you ever called a Spaniard a "Portuguese" you are probably gonna get your ass handed to you. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
