I mean, most Slavic languages. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Finally, I was conteplating of posting this myself. I am not quite sure how Polish, Chech, Slav, ... and others work but Serbian is possibly the simplest in this regard, since it is 100% phonetic. You write what you say, and you read what is written. For example there is never an occurance of double letters in *any* words. ie. "tutte" would be written "tute". Or another example, my name is Aleksandar as opposed to Alexander. ^^ ^ -Sima and Stanislava To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
