Pronounce it as you pronounce "sing". With a very hard "ng" sound. '''[[User:Troisnyxetienne|<font color="black">TNÉ</font>]]''' <sub>'''[[User talk:Troisnyxetienne|<font color="#1E90FF">En avant</font>]] [[User:Troisnyxetienne/Mensa|<font color="#00BFFF ">Bravo !</font>]]'''</sub>

Well... to me I guess it doesn't matter. I love languages (and judging from the amount of Babel I have on my userpage !). It might be sort of an uphill task at the beginning, but as I once told [[User:Unbirth]], learning any language for that matter, is easy, but mastering it is hard.

Heck, I wonder how I managed to pronounce every syllable in Annika Ljungberg's ''Song of Mana'' from Square's ''Legend of Mana'', when I'm not entirely familiar with Swedish phonetics.} '''[[User:Troisnyxetienne|<font color="black">TNÉ</font>]]''' <sub>'''[[User talk:Troisnyxetienne|<font color="#1E90FF">En avant</font>]] [[User:Troisnyxetienne/Mensa|<font color="#00BFFF ">Bravo !</font>]]'''</sub>

Yep, as quite a lot of English words originate from Scandinavian languages, right ?

Ya know, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that "Wednesday", "Thursday" and "Friday" originated from Swedish.

EDIT : No kidding ??????? :D Well, somewhere along the line... every language is closely linked, I guess.

EDIT : Remember the userbox ? The word ''kunattu'' (mind the spelling and the accents) - does it mean "command" (of a language), or knowledge, or something like that ? I mean, what's the exact word ?

Wait. ''Kunnátta'' means knowledge. The French ''connaissance'' means knowledge. They're linked !!

Tower of Babel... you know, from that biblical story where they wanted to build a tower as high as the heavens... but how God caused confusion among them and all the languages were formed ?

Oh, and there's also the English word ''babble'' - to babble is to ramble or to speak nonsense.
