yo mama jokes for linguists

• English is essentially German spoken in the mouth rather than the throat.
• Swedish, Norwegian and Danish are actually the same language. It’s just that the Norwegians can’t spell it, and the Danes can’t pronounce it.
• Spanish is what happened when Moors tried to learn Latin and said “screw it.”
• Tagalog is essentially Visayan spoken by Kapampangans.
• Franche est essentialement englaishe ouithe les endinges funnies et lottes de vowelles et les adjectifs en alle les places ronges.
• Czech is essentially Russian with beer instead of vodka.
• Korean is essentially being caught in a syllable-diagramming exercise gone horribly, horribly wrong.
• Esperanto is essentially Indo-European pidgin.
