That's a bit ambiguous if my thinking is correct.

Lai, have you ever been to that Austrian town called Wank? Have you ever been to the town Hell, Norwegians? What about the French city Condome?

*Bursts out laughing* I'm sorry, it's the weather, honest.

(Oh, and there's another terrible Austrian town name, I won't mention that)
Hehehe.
Acutually I am always making fun of Dick Cheney, the US president. Dick. What a good name. Hehehe.

Have never been in Wank. Neither in F.....

You can leave out the Belgian and the Luxemburgian. Belgian is just the same as Dutch and as far as I know Luxemburgian isn't a language on its own.

We do have some differences. But only with two or three words where we use different expressions.
It's like UK English and US English.

Is German as distant from Austrian as US English is from UK English?

Jo, it is. (That jo was in Luxembourgish/Lëtzebuergesch by the way, not Swedish or an Austrian dialect ). Apparently it's not intelligible to other dialects of German and borrows a lot of French words. (I guess like 'merci').

Svenska-Engelska-Bahasa Indonesia

I've just put the singular in, because Indonesian plurals are mostly formed by doubling the word (which may be a tad monotonous for this).
I'm not sure if the words for lorry etc exist in the language, so I've left them blank.

Oh- and is there more than one way to spell 'tallrik'? Or have I been spelling it wrong?
