	🚂 ♥ 12:19pm chris in the redwoods: ahoy-hoy, David and fellow passengers. Columbia is my guess, once again.
	🚂 ♥ 12:21pm David (in London): Sem, that's a canny move. If it is Lesotho, I will obviously have to close the bathroom door and have a good scream.
	♥ 12:21pm TDK60: Will the Roud tune have 2 or 3 names? 4?!
	🚂 ♥ 12:22pm Stanley: Hi David and everyone. (Jumps aboad, flashing his Green Travel Pass)
	♥ 12:22pm Asheville Jon: dang, well i'll have to come up with another guess.
	🚂 ♥ 12:23pm Stanley: And my punt this week is Senegal because I like the music from there.
	🚂 ♥ 12:23pm YETI BOB: Michael 98145: "Was?" It has entered the extended remix phase - I'm currently in Phoenix but instead of going home as originally planned I have an invitation to visit some friends in Mountain View CA so I'm going to drive up the coast and do that.
	🚂 ♥ 12:24pm Sem: David iL, I think the David would be hard pressed to assemble a playlist from there "Traditional musical instruments include the lekolulo, a kind of flute used by herding boys, the setolo-tolo, played by men using their mouth, and the woman's stringed thomo. " via wikithingy
	♥ 12:24pm David Dichelle: Welcome Alex, Yeti Bob, Jan, Jon, Chris, and Stanley!
	🚂 ♥ 12:24pm YETI BOB: Honestly, it's kind of mind-blowing after 16 months of not leaving Chicago - (hardly even leaving the apartment) - so this is a BIG CHANGE - I've forgotten how to interact with people but I'm re-learning.
	🚂 ♥ 12:24pm Sem: Sunglasses in Scotland, now that's a cool cat.
	🚂 ♥ 12:25pm chris in the redwoods: apologies in advance, Yeti Bob, the traffic here in the bay area is back to pre-pandemic levels of obnoxiousness. but yay for road trips!
	🚂 ♥ 12:26pm YETI BOB: thanks Chris, I'll keep that in mind and try to time things to miss the worst of it
	♥ 12:27pm David Dichelle: Many excellent guesses - thanks for the list, βrian!
	♥ 12:28pm TDK60: Didn't know about that Sandy Denny collection.
	♥ 12:29pm David Dichelle: TDK: Yes, plenty of gems in that one.
	♥ 12:29pm Hubig Pie: Is it Orthodox Easter time? If yes, I'll go with Greece. I can almost taste the spanokopita.
	12:29pm headcleaner: angenehm angelsächsisch, dieses set
	♥ 12:29pm David Dichelle: Hello Hubig und Kopfreiniger!
	🚂 ♥ 12:30pm David (in London): Sem, that's going to be a truly excellent hour of listening then! Versions of 'Yesterday' played on the setolo-tolo etc.
	♥ 12:31pm coelacanth∅: greetings David and subterranean Freedom Riders
	🚂 ♥ 12:31pm northguineahills: got here in time!
	♥ 12:33pm David Dichelle: Hey Coel and NGH!
	♥ 12:33pm David Dichelle: Hubig: Good point, that makes it slightly less random, even though it actually is.
	🚂 ♥ 12:33pm Sem: David iL, never would have gone there; glad you did.
	♥ 12:35pm David Dichelle: I mean it makes this Easter-themed set less random, the guesses are always random.
	♥ 12:36pm TDK60: I dig this Ragged Kingdom album.
	♥ 12:36pm Hubig Pie: I always look for order in the randomness of life, David
	🚂 ♥ 12:37pm chresti: Hi David and Continentals!
	♥ 12:37pm David Dichelle: Hello Chresti!
	♥ 12:37pm TDK60: I got to see the Oysterband a few years back.
	🚂 ♥ 12:39pm βrian: Today, it's pandemic nachos made with leftover Babybel cheese pucks. Hmm.
	🚂 ♥ 12:40pm Michael 98145: Yes, May 2nd
	🚂 ♥ 12:41pm Threemoons: Yes, came here to say Nestorian Easter is on May 2
	🚂 ♥ 12:41pm Threemoons: Yes to some Yiddish!
	🚂 ♥ 12:42pm βrian: Oy Division? Now that's fromagey, indeed.
	🚂 ♥ 12:42pm Threemoons: Oy Division has made my life happier just now.
	🚂 ♥ 12:43pm northguineahills: The Netflix series Sctisel is an Israeli series in Yiddish, Hebrew, English and Russian. It tells a story of an Haredi family.
	🚂 ♥ 12:44pm Stanley: Hi Sem. I need them shades on this sunny day, here.
	♥ 12:45pm David Dichelle: NGH: Yes, a very interesting one as well, linguistically and otherwise.
	🚂 ♥ 12:45pm Brian in UK: Hello David & earthlings
	♥ 12:45pm David Dichelle: Good late afternoon, Brian!
	♥ 12:46pm coelacanth∅: aside from the cleverness of the pun i like that it's a pun on a band that enjoyed their nazi references and nazi paraphernalia
	🚂 ♥ 12:46pm Brian in UK: A beautiful day with the promise of a light frost this evening.
	♥ 12:47pm TDK60: Hi Brian in UK. Unusually cold here in New York City.
	♥ 12:48pm David Dichelle: Similar weather here as well - sounds like a trend.
	🚂 ♥ 12:49pm Alex In Illinois: Still guessing countries? I'll say Denmark
	🚂 ♥ 12:49pm Sem: Sideways hail at the moment here and 4C. Yesterday was summer.
	♥ 12:50pm coelacanth∅: tanzania
	🚂 ♥ 12:50pm YETI BOB: Everywhere I've been on this trip the weather has been strange. Drove through a HUGE storm in Texas. Everywhere has been colder than normal. But I hear it snowed in Chicago, so I'm glad I'm not there!
	12:52pm headcleaner: I'm reminded that the Pushkin Theatre in NYC has reopened recently, and I am now double-vaxed...
	🚂 ♥ 12:55pm Threemoons: @headcleaner just Googled Pushkin Theater, must now look into it more! Thank you for putting it on my radar.
	♥ 12:55pm Carmichael: It's been high 80s/low 90s here for 2 weeks straight.
	🚂 ♥ 12:57pm northguineahills: Just overcast and cloudy and 24C/80F. Boring weather, the way I like it.
	12:59pm headcleaner: @3moons - yup - Pushkin Hall, more correctly - quite a fun spot
	🚂 ♥ 1:01pm northguineahills: I'm going to guess Luxembourg.
	🚂 ♥ 1:01pm Handy Haversack: Hey, David, Voyageurs. I had the bluetooth speaker in the car and was listening! Back in now. Lemme consult the Random Road Oracle ...
	♥ 1:02pm Hubig Pie: My only weakness- Salty snacks and gin
	♥ 1:02pm David Dichelle: Hey there Handy!
	🚂 ♥ 1:02pm northguineahills: Now I want to go to Montreal,,,,,
	🚂 ♥ 1:05pm Stanley: I'm not familiar with poutine. I'm under the impression it's chips and gravy. Could someone enlighten me on this?
	♥ 1:07pm Hubig Pie: Chips'n gravy with globs of gooey cheese curds
	1:07pm headcleaner: "If the current President of the Russian Federation were a food, what would it be?" Think brown and runny
	🚂 ♥ 1:08pm Yvang: Of course at the poutine restaurants you have The Vladimir as a choice.
	🚂 ♥ 1:08pm David (in London): Chips and gravy, Stanley! Something I miss in the south. There used to be a place a few doors down from the old Piccadilly Records (before it moved to Oldham Street), which did the best chips and gravy in Manchester.
	🚂 ♥ 1:09pm northguineahills: puts hand up I've made vegan poutine before!
	🚂 ♥ 1:11pm Stanley: Hubig - sounds very strange stuff. David - I've steered clear of it until now. I'm a bit dubious, though.
	🚂 ♥ 1:11pm Handy Haversack: Hmmm, David, are the Faroe Islands large enough to qualify? That's what I rolled.
	1:12pm Kpx: @Yeti bob - I found it a little ironic that your text "everywhere I've been, is just a rearranged Johnny Cash song "I've been everywhere; which makes what you're doing a Johnny Cash song. You should find and play it when you're on the road.
	🚂 ♥ 1:13pm Sem: Poutine, it all it's heart-stopping glory: www.blogto.com...
	♥ 1:14pm David Dichelle: Handy, yes, I believe they do!
	🚂 ♥ 1:14pm northguineahills: @Handy: I've met and saw an experimental Faroese musician, Goodipel.
	♥ 1:14pm David Dichelle: Welcome, Kpx!
	🚂 ♥ 1:17pm David (in London): Sem, that's just splendid. The poutine grilled cheese sandwich! Comes with a free taxi ride to your nearest medical facility.
	🚂 ♥ 1:19pm Threemoons: @Sem oh MAN now I am HUNGRY and I want ALL the poutine! AYCE poutine sounds perfect right about now. Of course, all the poutine that I CAN eat and the amount of poutine that I SHOULD eat are two very different things....
	1:19pm yetibob: "I've Been Everywhere" is not really a Johnny Cash song.
	1:19pm headcleaner: "Our grilled poutine sandwiches come with the best wishes for your health!"
	1:20pm yetibob: It has a long history - originally about Australia with lots od great place names.
	🚂 ♥ 1:20pm Threemoons: Hmmmm...I DO have some pizza beans that I can nuke; is that sort of almost close enough to poutine?
	1:20pm yetibob: it was transposed to USA by Hank Snow, I believe
	🚂 ♥ 1:21pm chris in the redwoods: love this tune! :)
	1:22pm yetibob: Lots of people have recorded it. My favorite version is Eugene Chadbourne's, on his album of the same name.
	🚂 ♥ 1:22pm Threemoons: @DD can you please pull up this very song by Luminescent Orchistrii?
	🚂 ♥ 1:22pm Stanley: Thanks, Sem. Poutineville here I come.
	1:23pm yetibob: I have some Willie Nelson on my playlist but not Johnny, I'm not really a fan of his singing voice (although of course he's an icon)
	🚂 ♥ 1:23pm Threemoons: sonichits.com...
	1:24pm yetibob: time to hit the road! no more commwnts from me. see you next week!
	🚂 ♥ 1:24pm Sem: Thx, yetibob. re: I've been everywhere, Australian-style. Man, here comes rhymin' Simon: Verse 1 Tullamore, Seymour, Lismore, Mooloolaba, Nambour, Maroochydore, Kilmore, Murwillumbah, Birdsville, Emmaville, Wallaville, Cunnamulla, Condamine, Strathpine, Proserpine, Ulladulla, Darwin, Gin Gin, Deniliquin, Muckadilla, Wallumbilla, Boggabilla, Kumbarilla.
	🚂 ♥ 1:24pm Michael 98145: safe travels!
	🚂 ♥ 1:24pm Stanley: Happy travels, Yeti Bob.
	♥ 1:27pm David Dichelle: Another Amari Szi by popular request. The Luminescent version I have at the moment is a kind of weird remix.
	🚂 ♥ 1:27pm Michael 98145: "“Amari Szi Amari” is a song that is a favorite in Romani communities around Europe, especially during weddings. In it the family welcomes a new daughter-in-law and implores the patriarch to do a dance to get the party started."
	🚂 ♥ 1:27pm David (in London): Hang loose Yeti Bob.
	♥ 1:27pm David Dichelle: Bon voyage, YB!
	🚂 ♥ 1:28pm Michael 98145: Let the old man dance, let the old man dance
	♥ 1:28pm Gaylord Fields: Hi, David! Happy to catch your musical acts and activities today.
	♥ 1:29pm David Dichelle: Hey, Gaylord, great to see you!
	🚂 ♥ 1:30pm Handy Haversack: Faroe Islands it is! Good roads, YB!
	🚂 ♥ 1:30pm Brian in UK: This is coming to London next week. www.eataly.co.uk
	🚂 ♥ 1:31pm northguineahills: @Michael: Never was able to figure out Romani, even thoughh I've seen many films w/ the language.
	🚂 ♥ 1:31pm Sem: Oh, this is such a treat.
	🚂 ♥ 1:32pm Bas NL: Slowly detouring home. See y'all in a bit! Oh, and guessing Uruguay again.
	🚂 ♥ 1:32pm Handy Haversack: At the Johnny Cash Birthday Bash 2020, March 5 (6?), Alex Battles did "I've Been Everywhere" with Brooklyn neighborhoods.
	1:34pm Kpx: @David Dichelle: Thank you for your welcome. @Yeti Bob: it may not be a johnny cash song, but he had a hit with it. So his version or whoever version of it that you like will work.
	🚂 ♥ 1:35pm Michael 98145: Lotsa Roma in the Carpatho region my grandparents fled
	♥ 1:35pm Carmichael: This song sounds decidedly western, even with non-western lyrics.
	♥ 1:35pm David Dichelle: See you later, Bas!
	🚂 ♥ 1:37pm Handy Haversack: And Kate wants to guess Uzbekistan! Close to Bas alphabetically if not geographically.
	🚂 ♥ 1:37pm northguineahills: I like the Shelta language (of the Irish Travelers). It's sort of Yiddish, a Germanic (Mostly English, w/ some old German) hybrid language (w/ Irish Gaelic).
	🚂 ♥ 1:38pm Michael 98145: languages are fascinating
	🚂 ♥ 1:40pm northguineahills: I've been watching a lot of Finnish film/series. Finnish is hard. Most have Finnish/Karelian, Russian, and English (b/c everyone in Europe speaks English).
	♥ 1:41pm Carmichael: Shelta is Irish and Scottish (gaelics) slang, with certainly a bit of King's English thrown in.
	🚂 ♥ 1:44pm David (in London): Syd in the house!
	♥ 1:44pm holland oats: hey all, digging the underground soundz
	🚂 ♥ 1:45pm northguineahills: @Carmichael: It used to be which side of the Irish sea there were, but in the last 1.5 centuries, it's become irrelevant due to migration, (Irish Gaelic is to Scottish Gaelic as Castillian is to Catalan)
	♥ 1:45pm David Dichelle: Hey there holland oats!
	🚂 ♥ 1:46pm Handy Haversack: @ngh, I know some Scots who have gotten into extended epistolary battles almost entirely to disprove that point.
	1:46pm Kay in Chi: This is unusual, an early Floyd song I haven't heard before?!
	🚂 ♥ 1:46pm Michael 98145: they don't make songs like this anymore
	♥ 1:46pm TDK60: Castilian and Catalan are very different. (Both separate Romance languages.)
	🚂 ♥ 1:47pm northguineahills: I was listening to and Irish podcast and he was covering Irish history, and he admitted he couldn't pronounce Gaelic, even though he took it school (as all Irish do today).
	🚂 ♥ 1:47pm David (in London): From Syd to Merrell. Nice David, very nice. Are you wearing your crushed velvet loons today by any chance?
	♥ 1:48pm David Dichelle: Hey Kay, that was just a healthy dessert for the Poutine in the first set.
	♥ 1:48pm David Dichelle: David, it happens from time to time.
	♥ 1:49pm Carmichael: Or your mu-mu and macadamia nut necklace like Fankhauser did in MU?
	🚂 ♥ 1:49pm David (in London): The stuff Fankhauser put out as Mu with Antennae Jimmy Semens (formerly of the Magic Band parish) still sounds absolutely amazing.
	♥ 1:49pm Gaylord Fields: If you consider Scots its own language rather than a dialect, it's the only language with a high degree of mutual intelligibility with English.
	🚂 ♥ 1:50pm northguineahills: Well, there was a alot of trade b/tn the Hebrides Islands and Ireland for centuries. @TDK: I can understand Catalan as well as Castillian and Valencian (so, not as well a Latin American dialects). It's sort of nexus Occitanian, Castillian, and Tuscan.
	🚂 ♥ 1:50pm Handy Haversack: My Scots dictionary and History of the Scots Language certainly would do so, Gaylord! As, I'd say, would Rabbie Burns.
	♥ 1:51pm Gaylord Fields: @Handy: As the saying goes, a language is a dialect with an army and a navy.
	♥ 1:51pm Hubig Pie: There be an AB clip of PF singing Apples and Oranges, followed by Dick Clark asking Syd what he's been eating since in USA. His answer was cheeseburgers
	🚂 ♥ 1:53pm Handy Haversack: It'd be nice if a few good poets could trump an army and a navy, but ... yeah.
	♥ 1:53pm David Dichelle: Gaylord: Exactly!
	♥ 1:53pm Carmichael: I grew up speaking Irish (Erse) and English. Even after the move to California, my parenets spoke Irish in the home until they the day they died. I learned some Shelta from a few tinker boys. It's tricky, as it's main focus is keeping outsiders out.
	♥ 1:54pm David Dichelle: Handy: They get called "dialect poets" here in Germany.
	🚂 ♥ 1:54pm Handy Haversack: Carmichael, George Steiner theorizes that all languages came about in order to keep outsiders out.
	🚂 ♥ 1:55pm northguineahills: I would consider Scots aa it's own language, as well as Doric. Scots understandable, Doric has an archaic grammar structure. It's considered the fourth language of Scotland, and it's found mostly around rural Aberdeenshire and the NE.
	🚂 ♥ 1:57pm Threemoons: @DD thank you! Very close, but also try to find "Too Hot to Sleep" by Luminescent Orchestrii....amazing group!
	♥ 1:57pm Gaylord Fields: I was just talking to a new Serbian friend about Serbo-Croatian, and the fact that the alphabet divides Serbian (an interestingly digraphic language) from Croatian (Latin alphabet). And I should clarify that I also count Scots as a language.
	🚂 ♥ 1:58pm Brian in UK: The pen is mightier than the sword but no match for a gun.
	🚂 ♥ 1:59pm northguineahills: @Gaylord: yep, the only difference b/tn the two is nationalism (history), and using a Latin or Cyrillic alphabet.
	🚂 ♥ 1:59pm Michael 98145: thanks for the tip! freemusicarchive.org...
	♥ 2:01pm holland oats: DENMARK
	♥ 2:02pm holland oats: whelp
	♥ 2:02pm TDK60: Namibia!
	🚂 ♥ 2:02pm David (in London): Arse. South Africa, close but no cigarette.
	♥ 2:03pm holland oats: Whelpland
	♥ 2:03pm Gaylord Fields: @ngh: Yep, back to the "army & navy" aphorism. My Slovak friend, who was born during the waning days of Czechoslovakia, says that many Slovaks speak Czech but not the other way around, mainly because the Czech Republic was the dominant partner in that arranged marriage. (The two languages have a high mutual intelligibility anyway.)
	♥ 2:03pm TDK60: I know a Namibian.
	🚂 ♥ 2:03pm Handy Haversack: Namibia! Very nice. But you have failed me for the last time, Faroe Islands.
	🚂 ♥ 2:04pm Michael 98145: * clk *
	2:04pm headcleaner: @Gaylord - what about all the English-based creole languages? Which have speakers, collectively, than Scots
	🚂 ♥ 2:05pm Handy Haversack: Sadly, I have to miss most of it. Dentist appt. in Manhattan. Thanks for today, David. Great stuff. Glad to be with all you travelers.
	🚂 ♥ 2:05pm northguineahills: Don't forget one of the first focussed genocides was Namibia by the Germans in 1904-1907 when they subjecticated the area (The Herero and Namaqua)
	🚂 ♥ 2:06pm chris in the redwoods: c-ya, Handy. good luck with the tooth dr.
	♥ 2:06pm Gaylord Fields: @headcleaner: Creoles are languages, of course, but Scots is not a creole. It arrived at the same time and developed the same way as English in England. And it isn't the number of speakers that make a language, of course.
	🚂 ♥ 2:07pm northguineahills: @headcleaner: You have lesser Antillian creole, which is a melange of French/Spanish/English, then Jamaican patois, West Aftrican creolem South African, and East Aftrican.
	♥ 2:07pm David Dichelle: Thanks, Handy, hope it goes well!
	🚂 ♥ 2:08pm northguineahills: (and that's just the Englishy ones)
	♥ 2:08pm Gaylord Fields: At a friend's party I met the only native Monégasque speaker I've yet to encounter.
	♥ 2:08pm David Dichelle: Yes, there really is no clear-cut distinction to be made between languages and dialects. Until European nation states emerged, it was all a blur and continues to be that in most of the world.
	🚂 ♥ 2:09pm Will in Norman: there are also a number of english-based creoles in east asia, like in hong kong, singapore, & malaysia
	🚂 ♥ 2:09pm northguineahills: Doric is basically Scots w/ a heavier Danish influence, w/ the grammar structure less anglisized.
	♥ 2:10pm David Dichelle: With the exception of standardized written languages of course, which usually remained canonized in a certain way, regardless of how people spoke.
	♥ 2:10pm Gaylord Fields: @David: Precisely! It's only in New World nations that colonialism placed clear-cut borders on languages, unlike in Europe, for example, where they elide into one another.
	🚂 ♥ 2:10pm northguineahills: @Gaylord: I dated an Albanian woman, and total unrelated, an Albanian classmate on my MA thesis.
	🚂 ♥ 2:12pm northguineahills: helped me on my thesis.
	♥ 2:13pm Little Danny: Hi David, hi all.
	🚂 ♥ 2:13pm Michael 98145: "Slovak was codified and became widely accepted as a literary, not merely a spoken, language only during the Slovak National Awakening of the mid-19th century." jpalka.com...
	♥ 2:13pm David Dichelle: Hey, Danny!
	🚂 ♥ 2:16pm Bas NL: Hey, hey! Just missed my tram... took the bus! Renewed hello, fellow travelers!
	2:16pm headcleaner: @ngh - from what I understand BCMS languages (Bosnian, Croatian, Montenegrin, Serbian), while mutually intelligible, do have significant differences (in grammar, melody, and vocabulary) besides just the alphabet differences
	🚂 ♥ 2:17pm northguineahills: Dutch, German, and Welsh, are still spoken in Brazil. Argentina also has German, Welsh and Yiddish. Paraguay has Guarani as it's national language, (the only Latin American nation not named Brazil to not have Spanish as the official language)(although Spanish and a small pocket of German is spocken
	🚂 ♥ 2:17pm Bas NL: Ohh, Namibia! Nice!
	♥ 2:17pm David Dichelle: There are many "dialects" in Germany that are practically incomprehensible to people who speak the standard language and/or other dialects.
	♥ 2:18pm David Dichelle: Welcome back, Bas!
	♥ 2:18pm TDK60: I pretend to understand people from Boston. Smile and nod.
	🚂 ♥ 2:20pm Will in Norman: @headcleaner you're correct about the south slavic languages. though with the breakup of yugoslavia many of the different groups began emphasizing their linguistic differences to assert their uniqueness from each other
	♥ 2:21pm Gaylord Fields: @ngh: Also keep in mind that Argentinian Spanish is strongly influence by Italian, as a huge percentage of Argentinians emigrated from Italy.
	🚂 ♥ 2:21pm northguineahills: Bosnian, has a very slight difference in the rural areas (still some Turkic and Arab infliuence), Montegrian, very slightly different.But Serbian and Croatian are essentially the same. It would like a century ago I went to rural England, Scotland, or Australia. I'd be able to make it out easy enough (in this metaphor, it infers I can speak Serbo-Croatian, which I don't)
	🚂 ♥ 2:22pm northguineahills: @Gaylord: Yep, when I go to and Argentinian bar, I have ask them to speak English, as my brain gets so confused.
	🚂 ♥ 2:23pm Sem: Back from dinner prep. Two nights ago, saw a doc about the Basques and the language. I gathered that there are new intriguing connections between it and Chechen in underlying structure and some vocabulary.
	♥ 2:24pm Gaylord Fields: @ngh: The best way to understand the difference between Serbian and Croatian is to imagine that, say, Canadian English was written with Cyrillic while English used Latin alphabet.
	🚂 ♥ 2:24pm northguineahills: Then there's Slovenian, which is basically Slovakian w/ German, Italian, and Serbo-Croat influences.
	♥ 2:24pm Gaylord Fields: *while American English
	🚂 ♥ 2:24pm northguineahills: excellent point, Gaylord!
	🚂 ♥ 2:26pm Will in Norman: speaking of basque & creoles, the 2 basque pidgins that have existed are rather interesting en.wikipedia.org... ven.wikipedia.org...
	🚂 ♥ 2:26pm northguineahills: (minus Quebec and the Maritimes).
	🚂 ♥ 2:26pm northguineahills: (where most people speak Canadian English anyways).
	♥ 2:27pm Gaylord Fields: And we're not even considering signed languages: For example, American Sign Language and British Sign Language are not mutually intelligible, but ASL and French Sign Language are.
	🚂 ♥ 2:28pm Sem: Will, thx for those links!
	🚂 ♥ 2:29pm northguineahills: @Gaylord: I knew the difference, ASL and BSL, but did not know FSL and ASL are mutually intelligible. Thanks!
	♥ 2:29pm Funky16Corners: Hi David! I couldn’t connect via the app, sent Doug a message. Pop up is working fine
	♥ 2:29pm David Dichelle: Basque-Icelandic, never heard of that one - thanks, Will!
	♥ 2:30pm David Dichelle: Hey Larry - the 128k seems fine as well. Could just be the app?
	♥ 2:31pm David Dichelle: Gaylord: Yes, that is an odd situation, very interesting.
	🚂 ♥ 2:32pm Stanley: Great selection, David. Enjoying very much.
	♥ 2:32pm Gaylord Fields: ASL and modern FSL are both descended from a proto–French Sign Language.
	🚂 ♥ 2:32pm Michael 98145: stream is strong -- gotta love that transatlantic cable
	♥ 2:32pm Funky16Corners: @David, I def think it’s the app. Tried it on and off of WiFi, same result
	♥ 2:32pm David Dichelle: Thanks, Stanley!
	🚂 ♥ 2:33pm northguineahills: It was rumored that Basques found the Grand Banks off of Newfoundland before Colombus's voyage, but kept it a secret. It's supposively where John Cabot (from northern Portugal) got his idea to sail to North American and ask the British to fund it.
	🚂 ♥ 2:33pm Bas NL: If i speak in English, most native speakers guess me to be from New Zealand. (I read that as far-away-foreign.)
	♥ 2:33pm David Dichelle: Larry, I think the unofficial "woofmoo" app works better in general.
	♥ 2:33pm Gaylord Fields: David, this is so much better than doing my actual job! Thanks for having this space to talk about and hear these languages sung.
	🚂 ♥ 2:33pm chresti: Thanks David! I have to run to the post office ..sounds are lovely!
	🚂 ♥ 2:34pm northguineahills: (The Basques never liked the Spanish kingdoms, as you know).
	🚂 ♥ 2:34pm Michael 98145: this is always such a great show
	♥ 2:34pm Little Danny: (Larry the app is working fine at my end FWIW.)
	🚂 ♥ 2:35pm northguineahills: Hope there is still free coffee in the hotel lobby. You know I'm tired, when I drink coffee.....
	♥ 2:35pm Gaylord Fields: @Bas NL: I've been told in Spain and Mexico that my Spanish sounds Caribbean, which would be accurate as I learned it at school in New York in the '70s when Puerto Rican, Cuban, and Dominican Spanish was dominant.
	♥ 2:35pm David Dichelle: Thanks Gaylord, always my pleasure!
	♥ 2:36pm David Dichelle: And thanks, Chresti - and Michael!
	🚂 ♥ 2:38pm Bas NL: @Gaylord I think i picked up most from TV. Many English language programs on TV here. Makes for a nice mash of accents and variants.
	♥ 2:38pm David Dichelle: Here are a few from a wonderful compilation of artists that are in part hard to find anywhere else.
	♥ 2:39pm Gaylord Fields: The only Xhosa speaker I've ever known was a white Sefrikan linguist.
	♥ 2:40pm TDK60: David, a bunch of languages are there in Namibia. (According to Wikip.)
	🚂 ♥ 2:40pm Michael 98145: @Bas, I was always impressed by the quality of English spoken in NL. Put me to shame.
	🚂 ♥ 2:41pm northguineahills: I've heard a lecture by native !Xhosa speaker. (it was a blend of English and !Xhosa) @Bas: I learned Espanol by watching futbol (and cinema en espanol).
	♥ 2:41pm David Dichelle: TDK: Yes, and again hard to distinguish between languages and dialects as in most places.
	♥ 2:42pm TDK60: Some in the Bantu family, and others.
	♥ 2:43pm Gaylord Fields: @Bas NL @Michael 98145: Anecdotally, I've found that Scandinavians seem to have the least trouble with sounding like native English speakers because they have the two "th" phonemes (þ and ð) in their own languages. It's that pesky "th" sound that is the biggest shibboleth for so many non-native English speakers.
	🚂 ♥ 2:43pm Michael 98145: Looks like a great comp ... www.discogs.com...
	🚂 ♥ 2:43pm Bas NL: @Michael Anyone serious about learning Dutch is always struck by everybody switching to English instantly. At work, university, English is spoken nearly all day.
	🚂 ♥ 2:43pm northguineahills: I know in Iceland, and many European countries, English had been compulsary for at least two decades (I know in Iceland, they have daily classes in English and Icelandic since the first grade, in the 7th grade, they have to pick a third language. (It was imposed in 1992).
	🚂 ♥ 2:44pm Bas NL: @ngh LOVE the futbol Spanish! :D
	🚂 ♥ 2:44pm Sem: ngh: Mark Kurlansky who wrote the trilogy Basques, Salt, Cod asserts the same argument, that the Basques knew a very very good thing when they saw it, and kept Newfoundland and waters a secret. Passed through Port Aux Basques, Newfoundland, every summer til I was sixteen on my way to my grandparents place.
	🚂 ♥ 2:45pm northguineahills: @Bas: Dated a Dutch girl. she gave up and just spoke to me in English When I've had a few drinks, my brain goes randomly from English to Spanish to German to Japanese (sometimes to others). I lose the filter.
	🚂 ♥ 2:46pm Bas NL: i noticed the Dutch are very poor in 'modulating' their English, as Dutch is a rather 'flat' language.
	🚂 ♥ 2:47pm Sem: This tour of Namibian music is a seriously good treat, DD.
	🚂 ♥ 2:47pm Michael 98145: I have a dumb theory that we have compartments in our brains for each language we learn.
	♥ 2:47pm David Dichelle: Thanks, Sem, glad you enjoyed it!
	🚂 ♥ 2:47pm Bas NL: We should have a drink one day, @ngh!
	♥ 2:48pm Gaylord Fields: My partner and I were in Malmö a couple of years ago (she took Swedish lessons in the early aughts), and I challenged her to ask people for directions only in Swedish. People were so kind to indulge her by replying in Swedish, even though she doesn't sound native and their English is as good as ours.
	🚂 ♥ 2:48pm Michael 98145: @Bas, that is interesting. English is thought to be such a -flat- lang, itself.
	♥ 2:49pm fred: Then there is the Sorbonne English dialect, which is only spoken and understood by English language teachers in France. It also has its own grammar, tenses, and pronunciation (basically French's, imposed artificially). No wonder we're so bad with the actual language
	2:49pm headcleaner: When I've had a few drinks, I speak all the languages I've ever flirted with, or whatever is spoken by whoever I'm trying to communicate / ingratiate with, at some allegedly impressive level of proficiency. The reality, however...
	🚂 ♥ 2:50pm Bas NL: If learned English, French, German, Latin and (old) Greek at school; to varying degree...
	🚂 ♥ 2:50pm Michael 98145: Oh, no. Nearing the station already?
	🚂 ♥ 2:51pm northguineahills: @Gaylord: People would speak to me in Quebecois (but they knew English) in Montreal (where I really learned French). In Paris, everyone just went straight to English.
	♥ 2:51pm TDK60: Great music there, David, the Namibian set.
	🚂 ♥ 2:51pm Stanley: Please check you have all your belongings with you before leaving the train.
	🚂 ♥ 2:52pm David (in London): Great show today David, as usual.
	♥ 2:52pm Gaylord Fields: I have a Quebeçois friend who would go to Paris on business a few times a year, and the French people he met with would ask him to conduct business in English (not his native language)! He says they had trouble with the guttural nature of his Quebec French, along with all the 18th-century–isms.
	🚂 ♥ 2:52pm David (in London): And don't leave the remains of your chips and gravy under your seat.
	🚂 ♥ 2:52pm northguineahills: @fred: As you know, before the 19th c there was probably at least a dozen languages in France, and that's not including basque, breton, or occitaine.
	🚂 ♥ 2:53pm Bas NL: This train is always SO FAST! Love what i heard David, but the archives await! Thanks!
	♥ 2:53pm Gaylord Fields: @ngh: Hahaha!!! I wrote the above before I saw what you wrote!!!
	🚂 ♥ 2:53pm Sem: Please return your companion to their original upright position.
	2:53pm headcleaner: And that reality is... music, films, TV and shooting the shit with people in bars and cafes are all very helpful for getting our gears to start turning. But at some point we do have to roll up our sleeves and hit the books. Learn those fridge 14 simple verb tenses (let alone the composite forms), all the exceptional nouns that conjugate differently in the accusative, separable versus non separable verbs... all incredibly tedius and unsexy... but in reality, if you really want to learn a language at C2 level or higher, there are no shortcuts - ya gotta do the work
	🚂 ♥ 2:53pm Sem: Please return your companion to their original upright position.
	🚂 ♥ 2:53pm Stanley: David - if you are thinking of heading over to The Lounge in a few minutes, please be careful. There have been complaints.
	🚂 ♥ 2:54pm Sem: worth repeating
	♥ 2:54pm Carmichael: Ugh, daylight! Guess the ride is over. Thanks David!
	2:54pm headcleaner: (Or short of hitting the books - yeah, move there, get a job where you're being yelled at everyday so you can eat and not get evicted. Another form of work)
	♥ 2:54pm coelacanth∅: Thanks David! namibia was fascinating! tchau
	🚂 ♥ 2:54pm chris in the redwoods: thanks, David! another wonderful time had.
	2:54pm headcleaner: (damn autocorrect for munging "friggin'" into "fridge" in my rant above)
	♥ 2:55pm Doug Schulkind: Loving the sonic selections today, David. Just another lovely Thursday on the Continent!
	🚂 ♥ 2:55pm Michael 98145: I always loved that there is an "accusative case" in German
	🚂 ♥ 2:55pm Bas NL: David clips tickets old style..
	🚂 ♥ 2:55pm northguineahills: Thanks, David! @headcleaner. It usually takes until day three in Mexico for my really fluent Spanish to kick in.
	♥ 2:55pm Gaylord Fields: @ngh: Whenever I visit Montreal, I am assumed to be a Francophone because almost every Black person there is, so I have to "Bonjour-hi" everyone to signal my Anglophone status.
	♥ 2:55pm TDK60: There's Doug, speaking Pittsburghese. \| Gràcies David.
	♥ 2:56pm coelacanth∅: David i'm pretty sure your pronunciation on those clicky titles is better than mine
	♥ 2:56pm Hubig Pie: Thanks for the tunes, much enjoyed
	♥ 2:57pm Little Danny: I salute your linguistic ambition here, David. #1 for back-announcing.
	🚂 ♥ 2:57pm Yvang: Danke, David!
	🚂 ♥ 2:57pm Bas NL: Ohw, yes, i loved the Namibia set too!
	2:57pm headcleaner: @ngh - enough to write a term paper on 19th century literature in the Argetina-Uraguay-Paraguay triangle?
	🚂 ♥ 2:58pm northguineahills: @headcleaner, been there, actually did that.
	🚂 ♥ 2:58pm Stanley: Massalama Hubig
	🚂 ♥ 2:58pm Michael 98145: Thank you!
	♥ 2:58pm Gaylord Fields: Ciao, David!
	🚂 ♥ 2:58pm Yvang: The all Africa into titles show is a great idea!
	🚂 ♥ 2:58pm chresti: Back! Thanks again David! Had to pick up a mystery package from Italy..
	🚂 ♥ 2:59pm northguineahills: (but in English at the time, I majored in Latin and Aftican History.
	♥ 2:59pm David Dichelle: Thanks everyone!
	🚂 ♥ 2:59pm doctorjazz: Thanks, David!
	3:00pm headcleaner: hasta, everyone. and btw: GOOOOOLLLLLLL!!!!!!!

	🚂 ♥ 12:24pm Sem: David iL, I think the David would be hard pressed to assemble a playlist from there "Traditional musical instruments include the lekolulo, a kind of flute used by herding boys, the setolo-tolo, played by men using their mouth, and the woman's stringed thomo. " via wikithingy

	🚂 ♥ 12:33pm Sem: David iL, never would have gone there; glad you did.

	♥ 12:47pm TDK60: Hi Brian in UK. Unusually cold here in New York City.
	♥ 12:48pm David Dichelle: Similar weather here as well - sounds like a trend.
	🚂 ♥ 12:49pm Alex In Illinois: Still guessing countries? I'll say Denmark
	🚂 ♥ 12:49pm Sem: Sideways hail at the moment here and 4C. Yesterday was summer.
	♥ 12:50pm coelacanth∅: tanzania
	🚂 ♥ 12:50pm YETI BOB: Everywhere I've been on this trip the weather has been strange. Drove through a HUGE storm in Texas. Everywhere has been colder than normal. But I hear it snowed in Chicago, so I'm glad I'm not there!
	12:52pm headcleaner: I'm reminded that the Pushkin Theatre in NYC has reopened recently, and I am now double-vaxed...
	🚂 ♥ 12:55pm Threemoons: @headcleaner just Googled Pushkin Theater, must now look into it more! Thank you for putting it on my radar.
	♥ 12:55pm Carmichael: It's been high 80s/low 90s here for 2 weeks straight.
	🚂 ♥ 12:57pm northguineahills: Just overcast and cloudy and 24C/80F. Boring weather, the way I like it.
	12:59pm headcleaner: @3moons - yup - Pushkin Hall, more correctly - quite a fun spot
	🚂 ♥ 1:01pm northguineahills: I'm going to guess Luxembourg.
	🚂 ♥ 1:01pm Handy Haversack: Hey, David, Voyageurs. I had the bluetooth speaker in the car and was listening! Back in now. Lemme consult the Random Road Oracle ...
	♥ 1:02pm Hubig Pie: My only weakness- Salty snacks and gin
	♥ 1:02pm David Dichelle: Hey there Handy!
	🚂 ♥ 1:02pm northguineahills: Now I want to go to Montreal,,,,,
	🚂 ♥ 1:05pm Stanley: I'm not familiar with poutine. I'm under the impression it's chips and gravy. Could someone enlighten me on this?
	♥ 1:07pm Hubig Pie: Chips'n gravy with globs of gooey cheese curds
	1:07pm headcleaner: "If the current President of the Russian Federation were a food, what would it be?" Think brown and runny
	🚂 ♥ 1:08pm Yvang: Of course at the poutine restaurants you have The Vladimir as a choice.
	🚂 ♥ 1:08pm David (in London): Chips and gravy, Stanley! Something I miss in the south. There used to be a place a few doors down from the old Piccadilly Records (before it moved to Oldham Street), which did the best chips and gravy in Manchester.
	🚂 ♥ 1:09pm northguineahills: puts hand up I've made vegan poutine before!
	🚂 ♥ 1:11pm Stanley: Hubig - sounds very strange stuff. David - I've steered clear of it until now. I'm a bit dubious, though.
	🚂 ♥ 1:11pm Handy Haversack: Hmmm, David, are the Faroe Islands large enough to qualify? That's what I rolled.
	1:12pm Kpx: @Yeti bob - I found it a little ironic that your text "everywhere I've been, is just a rearranged Johnny Cash song "I've been everywhere; which makes what you're doing a Johnny Cash song. You should find and play it when you're on the road.
	🚂 ♥ 1:13pm Sem: Poutine, it all it's heart-stopping glory: www.blogto.com...
	♥ 1:14pm David Dichelle: Handy, yes, I believe they do!
	🚂 ♥ 1:14pm northguineahills: @Handy: I've met and saw an experimental Faroese musician, Goodipel.
	♥ 1:14pm David Dichelle: Welcome, Kpx!
	🚂 ♥ 1:17pm David (in London): Sem, that's just splendid. The poutine grilled cheese sandwich! Comes with a free taxi ride to your nearest medical facility.
	🚂 ♥ 1:19pm Threemoons: @Sem oh MAN now I am HUNGRY and I want ALL the poutine! AYCE poutine sounds perfect right about now. Of course, all the poutine that I CAN eat and the amount of poutine that I SHOULD eat are two very different things....
	1:19pm yetibob: "I've Been Everywhere" is not really a Johnny Cash song.
	1:19pm headcleaner: "Our grilled poutine sandwiches come with the best wishes for your health!"
	1:20pm yetibob: It has a long history - originally about Australia with lots od great place names.
	🚂 ♥ 1:20pm Threemoons: Hmmmm...I DO have some pizza beans that I can nuke; is that sort of almost close enough to poutine?
	1:20pm yetibob: it was transposed to USA by Hank Snow, I believe
	🚂 ♥ 1:21pm chris in the redwoods: love this tune! :)
	1:22pm yetibob: Lots of people have recorded it. My favorite version is Eugene Chadbourne's, on his album of the same name.
	🚂 ♥ 1:22pm Threemoons: @DD can you please pull up this very song by Luminescent Orchistrii?
	🚂 ♥ 1:22pm Stanley: Thanks, Sem. Poutineville here I come.
	1:23pm yetibob: I have some Willie Nelson on my playlist but not Johnny, I'm not really a fan of his singing voice (although of course he's an icon)
	🚂 ♥ 1:23pm Threemoons: sonichits.com...
	1:24pm yetibob: time to hit the road! no more commwnts from me. see you next week!
	🚂 ♥ 1:24pm Sem: Thx, yetibob. re: I've been everywhere, Australian-style. Man, here comes rhymin' Simon: Verse 1 Tullamore, Seymour, Lismore, Mooloolaba, Nambour, Maroochydore, Kilmore, Murwillumbah, Birdsville, Emmaville, Wallaville, Cunnamulla, Condamine, Strathpine, Proserpine, Ulladulla, Darwin, Gin Gin, Deniliquin, Muckadilla, Wallumbilla, Boggabilla, Kumbarilla.
	🚂 ♥ 1:24pm Michael 98145: safe travels!
	🚂 ♥ 1:24pm Stanley: Happy travels, Yeti Bob.
	♥ 1:27pm David Dichelle: Another Amari Szi by popular request. The Luminescent version I have at the moment is a kind of weird remix.
	🚂 ♥ 1:27pm Michael 98145: "“Amari Szi Amari” is a song that is a favorite in Romani communities around Europe, especially during weddings. In it the family welcomes a new daughter-in-law and implores the patriarch to do a dance to get the party started."
	🚂 ♥ 1:27pm David (in London): Hang loose Yeti Bob.
	♥ 1:27pm David Dichelle: Bon voyage, YB!
	🚂 ♥ 1:28pm Michael 98145: Let the old man dance, let the old man dance
	♥ 1:28pm Gaylord Fields: Hi, David! Happy to catch your musical acts and activities today.
	♥ 1:29pm David Dichelle: Hey, Gaylord, great to see you!
	🚂 ♥ 1:30pm Handy Haversack: Faroe Islands it is! Good roads, YB!
	🚂 ♥ 1:30pm Brian in UK: This is coming to London next week. www.eataly.co.uk
	🚂 ♥ 1:31pm northguineahills: @Michael: Never was able to figure out Romani, even thoughh I've seen many films w/ the language.
	🚂 ♥ 1:31pm Sem: Oh, this is such a treat.
	🚂 ♥ 1:32pm Bas NL: Slowly detouring home. See y'all in a bit! Oh, and guessing Uruguay again.
	🚂 ♥ 1:32pm Handy Haversack: At the Johnny Cash Birthday Bash 2020, March 5 (6?), Alex Battles did "I've Been Everywhere" with Brooklyn neighborhoods.
	1:34pm Kpx: @David Dichelle: Thank you for your welcome. @Yeti Bob: it may not be a johnny cash song, but he had a hit with it. So his version or whoever version of it that you like will work.
	🚂 ♥ 1:35pm Michael 98145: Lotsa Roma in the Carpatho region my grandparents fled
	♥ 1:35pm Carmichael: This song sounds decidedly western, even with non-western lyrics.
	♥ 1:35pm David Dichelle: See you later, Bas!
	🚂 ♥ 1:37pm Handy Haversack: And Kate wants to guess Uzbekistan! Close to Bas alphabetically if not geographically.
	🚂 ♥ 1:37pm northguineahills: I like the Shelta language (of the Irish Travelers). It's sort of Yiddish, a Germanic (Mostly English, w/ some old German) hybrid language (w/ Irish Gaelic).
	🚂 ♥ 1:38pm Michael 98145: languages are fascinating
	🚂 ♥ 1:40pm northguineahills: I've been watching a lot of Finnish film/series. Finnish is hard. Most have Finnish/Karelian, Russian, and English (b/c everyone in Europe speaks English).
	♥ 1:41pm Carmichael: Shelta is Irish and Scottish (gaelics) slang, with certainly a bit of King's English thrown in.
	🚂 ♥ 1:44pm David (in London): Syd in the house!
	♥ 1:44pm holland oats: hey all, digging the underground soundz
	🚂 ♥ 1:45pm northguineahills: @Carmichael: It used to be which side of the Irish sea there were, but in the last 1.5 centuries, it's become irrelevant due to migration, (Irish Gaelic is to Scottish Gaelic as Castillian is to Catalan)
	♥ 1:45pm David Dichelle: Hey there holland oats!
	🚂 ♥ 1:46pm Handy Haversack: @ngh, I know some Scots who have gotten into extended epistolary battles almost entirely to disprove that point.
	1:46pm Kay in Chi: This is unusual, an early Floyd song I haven't heard before?!
	🚂 ♥ 1:46pm Michael 98145: they don't make songs like this anymore
	♥ 1:46pm TDK60: Castilian and Catalan are very different. (Both separate Romance languages.)
	🚂 ♥ 1:47pm northguineahills: I was listening to and Irish podcast and he was covering Irish history, and he admitted he couldn't pronounce Gaelic, even though he took it school (as all Irish do today).
	🚂 ♥ 1:47pm David (in London): From Syd to Merrell. Nice David, very nice. Are you wearing your crushed velvet loons today by any chance?
	♥ 1:48pm David Dichelle: Hey Kay, that was just a healthy dessert for the Poutine in the first set.
	♥ 1:48pm David Dichelle: David, it happens from time to time.
	♥ 1:49pm Carmichael: Or your mu-mu and macadamia nut necklace like Fankhauser did in MU?
	🚂 ♥ 1:49pm David (in London): The stuff Fankhauser put out as Mu with Antennae Jimmy Semens (formerly of the Magic Band parish) still sounds absolutely amazing.
	♥ 1:49pm Gaylord Fields: If you consider Scots its own language rather than a dialect, it's the only language with a high degree of mutual intelligibility with English.
	🚂 ♥ 1:50pm northguineahills: Well, there was a alot of trade b/tn the Hebrides Islands and Ireland for centuries. @TDK: I can understand Catalan as well as Castillian and Valencian (so, not as well a Latin American dialects). It's sort of nexus Occitanian, Castillian, and Tuscan.
	🚂 ♥ 1:50pm Handy Haversack: My Scots dictionary and History of the Scots Language certainly would do so, Gaylord! As, I'd say, would Rabbie Burns.
	♥ 1:51pm Gaylord Fields: @Handy: As the saying goes, a language is a dialect with an army and a navy.
	♥ 1:51pm Hubig Pie: There be an AB clip of PF singing Apples and Oranges, followed by Dick Clark asking Syd what he's been eating since in USA. His answer was cheeseburgers
	🚂 ♥ 1:53pm Handy Haversack: It'd be nice if a few good poets could trump an army and a navy, but ... yeah.
	♥ 1:53pm David Dichelle: Gaylord: Exactly!
	♥ 1:53pm Carmichael: I grew up speaking Irish (Erse) and English. Even after the move to California, my parenets spoke Irish in the home until they the day they died. I learned some Shelta from a few tinker boys. It's tricky, as it's main focus is keeping outsiders out.
	♥ 1:54pm David Dichelle: Handy: They get called "dialect poets" here in Germany.
	🚂 ♥ 1:54pm Handy Haversack: Carmichael, George Steiner theorizes that all languages came about in order to keep outsiders out.
	🚂 ♥ 1:55pm northguineahills: I would consider Scots aa it's own language, as well as Doric. Scots understandable, Doric has an archaic grammar structure. It's considered the fourth language of Scotland, and it's found mostly around rural Aberdeenshire and the NE.
	🚂 ♥ 1:57pm Threemoons: @DD thank you! Very close, but also try to find "Too Hot to Sleep" by Luminescent Orchestrii....amazing group!
	♥ 1:57pm Gaylord Fields: I was just talking to a new Serbian friend about Serbo-Croatian, and the fact that the alphabet divides Serbian (an interestingly digraphic language) from Croatian (Latin alphabet). And I should clarify that I also count Scots as a language.
	🚂 ♥ 1:58pm Brian in UK: The pen is mightier than the sword but no match for a gun.
	🚂 ♥ 1:59pm northguineahills: @Gaylord: yep, the only difference b/tn the two is nationalism (history), and using a Latin or Cyrillic alphabet.
	🚂 ♥ 1:59pm Michael 98145: thanks for the tip! freemusicarchive.org...
	♥ 2:01pm holland oats: DENMARK
	♥ 2:02pm holland oats: whelp
	♥ 2:02pm TDK60: Namibia!
	🚂 ♥ 2:02pm David (in London): Arse. South Africa, close but no cigarette.
	♥ 2:03pm holland oats: Whelpland
	♥ 2:03pm Gaylord Fields: @ngh: Yep, back to the "army & navy" aphorism. My Slovak friend, who was born during the waning days of Czechoslovakia, says that many Slovaks speak Czech but not the other way around, mainly because the Czech Republic was the dominant partner in that arranged marriage. (The two languages have a high mutual intelligibility anyway.)
	♥ 2:03pm TDK60: I know a Namibian.
	🚂 ♥ 2:03pm Handy Haversack: Namibia! Very nice. But you have failed me for the last time, Faroe Islands.
	🚂 ♥ 2:04pm Michael 98145: * clk *
	2:04pm headcleaner: @Gaylord - what about all the English-based creole languages? Which have speakers, collectively, than Scots
	🚂 ♥ 2:05pm Handy Haversack: Sadly, I have to miss most of it. Dentist appt. in Manhattan. Thanks for today, David. Great stuff. Glad to be with all you travelers.
	🚂 ♥ 2:05pm northguineahills: Don't forget one of the first focussed genocides was Namibia by the Germans in 1904-1907 when they subjecticated the area (The Herero and Namaqua)
	🚂 ♥ 2:06pm chris in the redwoods: c-ya, Handy. good luck with the tooth dr.
	♥ 2:06pm Gaylord Fields: @headcleaner: Creoles are languages, of course, but Scots is not a creole. It arrived at the same time and developed the same way as English in England. And it isn't the number of speakers that make a language, of course.
	🚂 ♥ 2:07pm northguineahills: @headcleaner: You have lesser Antillian creole, which is a melange of French/Spanish/English, then Jamaican patois, West Aftrican creolem South African, and East Aftrican.
	♥ 2:07pm David Dichelle: Thanks, Handy, hope it goes well!
	🚂 ♥ 2:08pm northguineahills: (and that's just the Englishy ones)
	♥ 2:08pm Gaylord Fields: At a friend's party I met the only native Monégasque speaker I've yet to encounter.
	♥ 2:08pm David Dichelle: Yes, there really is no clear-cut distinction to be made between languages and dialects. Until European nation states emerged, it was all a blur and continues to be that in most of the world.
	🚂 ♥ 2:09pm Will in Norman: there are also a number of english-based creoles in east asia, like in hong kong, singapore, & malaysia
	🚂 ♥ 2:09pm northguineahills: Doric is basically Scots w/ a heavier Danish influence, w/ the grammar structure less anglisized.
	♥ 2:10pm David Dichelle: With the exception of standardized written languages of course, which usually remained canonized in a certain way, regardless of how people spoke.
	♥ 2:10pm Gaylord Fields: @David: Precisely! It's only in New World nations that colonialism placed clear-cut borders on languages, unlike in Europe, for example, where they elide into one another.
	🚂 ♥ 2:10pm northguineahills: @Gaylord: I dated an Albanian woman, and total unrelated, an Albanian classmate on my MA thesis.
	🚂 ♥ 2:12pm northguineahills: helped me on my thesis.
	♥ 2:13pm Little Danny: Hi David, hi all.
	🚂 ♥ 2:13pm Michael 98145: "Slovak was codified and became widely accepted as a literary, not merely a spoken, language only during the Slovak National Awakening of the mid-19th century." jpalka.com...
	♥ 2:13pm David Dichelle: Hey, Danny!
	🚂 ♥ 2:16pm Bas NL: Hey, hey! Just missed my tram... took the bus! Renewed hello, fellow travelers!
	2:16pm headcleaner: @ngh - from what I understand BCMS languages (Bosnian, Croatian, Montenegrin, Serbian), while mutually intelligible, do have significant differences (in grammar, melody, and vocabulary) besides just the alphabet differences
	🚂 ♥ 2:17pm northguineahills: Dutch, German, and Welsh, are still spoken in Brazil. Argentina also has German, Welsh and Yiddish. Paraguay has Guarani as it's national language, (the only Latin American nation not named Brazil to not have Spanish as the official language)(although Spanish and a small pocket of German is spocken
	🚂 ♥ 2:17pm Bas NL: Ohh, Namibia! Nice!
	♥ 2:17pm David Dichelle: There are many "dialects" in Germany that are practically incomprehensible to people who speak the standard language and/or other dialects.
	♥ 2:18pm David Dichelle: Welcome back, Bas!
	♥ 2:18pm TDK60: I pretend to understand people from Boston. Smile and nod.
	🚂 ♥ 2:20pm Will in Norman: @headcleaner you're correct about the south slavic languages. though with the breakup of yugoslavia many of the different groups began emphasizing their linguistic differences to assert their uniqueness from each other
	♥ 2:21pm Gaylord Fields: @ngh: Also keep in mind that Argentinian Spanish is strongly influence by Italian, as a huge percentage of Argentinians emigrated from Italy.
	🚂 ♥ 2:21pm northguineahills: Bosnian, has a very slight difference in the rural areas (still some Turkic and Arab infliuence), Montegrian, very slightly different.But Serbian and Croatian are essentially the same. It would like a century ago I went to rural England, Scotland, or Australia. I'd be able to make it out easy enough (in this metaphor, it infers I can speak Serbo-Croatian, which I don't)
	🚂 ♥ 2:22pm northguineahills: @Gaylord: Yep, when I go to and Argentinian bar, I have ask them to speak English, as my brain gets so confused.
	🚂 ♥ 2:23pm Sem: Back from dinner prep. Two nights ago, saw a doc about the Basques and the language. I gathered that there are new intriguing connections between it and Chechen in underlying structure and some vocabulary.
	♥ 2:24pm Gaylord Fields: @ngh: The best way to understand the difference between Serbian and Croatian is to imagine that, say, Canadian English was written with Cyrillic while English used Latin alphabet.
	🚂 ♥ 2:24pm northguineahills: Then there's Slovenian, which is basically Slovakian w/ German, Italian, and Serbo-Croat influences.
	♥ 2:24pm Gaylord Fields: *while American English
	🚂 ♥ 2:24pm northguineahills: excellent point, Gaylord!
	🚂 ♥ 2:26pm Will in Norman: speaking of basque & creoles, the 2 basque pidgins that have existed are rather interesting en.wikipedia.org... ven.wikipedia.org...
	🚂 ♥ 2:26pm northguineahills: (minus Quebec and the Maritimes).
	🚂 ♥ 2:26pm northguineahills: (where most people speak Canadian English anyways).
	♥ 2:27pm Gaylord Fields: And we're not even considering signed languages: For example, American Sign Language and British Sign Language are not mutually intelligible, but ASL and French Sign Language are.
	🚂 ♥ 2:28pm Sem: Will, thx for those links!
	🚂 ♥ 2:29pm northguineahills: @Gaylord: I knew the difference, ASL and BSL, but did not know FSL and ASL are mutually intelligible. Thanks!
	♥ 2:29pm Funky16Corners: Hi David! I couldn’t connect via the app, sent Doug a message. Pop up is working fine
	♥ 2:29pm David Dichelle: Basque-Icelandic, never heard of that one - thanks, Will!
	♥ 2:30pm David Dichelle: Hey Larry - the 128k seems fine as well. Could just be the app?
	♥ 2:31pm David Dichelle: Gaylord: Yes, that is an odd situation, very interesting.
	🚂 ♥ 2:32pm Stanley: Great selection, David. Enjoying very much.
	♥ 2:32pm Gaylord Fields: ASL and modern FSL are both descended from a proto–French Sign Language.
	🚂 ♥ 2:32pm Michael 98145: stream is strong -- gotta love that transatlantic cable
	♥ 2:32pm Funky16Corners: @David, I def think it’s the app. Tried it on and off of WiFi, same result
	♥ 2:32pm David Dichelle: Thanks, Stanley!
	🚂 ♥ 2:33pm northguineahills: It was rumored that Basques found the Grand Banks off of Newfoundland before Colombus's voyage, but kept it a secret. It's supposively where John Cabot (from northern Portugal) got his idea to sail to North American and ask the British to fund it.
	🚂 ♥ 2:33pm Bas NL: If i speak in English, most native speakers guess me to be from New Zealand. (I read that as far-away-foreign.)
	♥ 2:33pm David Dichelle: Larry, I think the unofficial "woofmoo" app works better in general.
	♥ 2:33pm Gaylord Fields: David, this is so much better than doing my actual job! Thanks for having this space to talk about and hear these languages sung.
	🚂 ♥ 2:33pm chresti: Thanks David! I have to run to the post office ..sounds are lovely!
	🚂 ♥ 2:34pm northguineahills: (The Basques never liked the Spanish kingdoms, as you know).
	🚂 ♥ 2:34pm Michael 98145: this is always such a great show
	♥ 2:34pm Little Danny: (Larry the app is working fine at my end FWIW.)
	🚂 ♥ 2:35pm northguineahills: Hope there is still free coffee in the hotel lobby. You know I'm tired, when I drink coffee.....
	♥ 2:35pm Gaylord Fields: @Bas NL: I've been told in Spain and Mexico that my Spanish sounds Caribbean, which would be accurate as I learned it at school in New York in the '70s when Puerto Rican, Cuban, and Dominican Spanish was dominant.
	♥ 2:35pm David Dichelle: Thanks Gaylord, always my pleasure!
	♥ 2:36pm David Dichelle: And thanks, Chresti - and Michael!
	🚂 ♥ 2:38pm Bas NL: @Gaylord I think i picked up most from TV. Many English language programs on TV here. Makes for a nice mash of accents and variants.
	♥ 2:38pm David Dichelle: Here are a few from a wonderful compilation of artists that are in part hard to find anywhere else.
	♥ 2:39pm Gaylord Fields: The only Xhosa speaker I've ever known was a white Sefrikan linguist.
	♥ 2:40pm TDK60: David, a bunch of languages are there in Namibia. (According to Wikip.)
	🚂 ♥ 2:40pm Michael 98145: @Bas, I was always impressed by the quality of English spoken in NL. Put me to shame.
	🚂 ♥ 2:41pm northguineahills: I've heard a lecture by native !Xhosa speaker. (it was a blend of English and !Xhosa) @Bas: I learned Espanol by watching futbol (and cinema en espanol).
	♥ 2:41pm David Dichelle: TDK: Yes, and again hard to distinguish between languages and dialects as in most places.
	♥ 2:42pm TDK60: Some in the Bantu family, and others.
	♥ 2:43pm Gaylord Fields: @Bas NL @Michael 98145: Anecdotally, I've found that Scandinavians seem to have the least trouble with sounding like native English speakers because they have the two "th" phonemes (þ and ð) in their own languages. It's that pesky "th" sound that is the biggest shibboleth for so many non-native English speakers.
	🚂 ♥ 2:43pm Michael 98145: Looks like a great comp ... www.discogs.com...
	🚂 ♥ 2:43pm Bas NL: @Michael Anyone serious about learning Dutch is always struck by everybody switching to English instantly. At work, university, English is spoken nearly all day.
	🚂 ♥ 2:43pm northguineahills: I know in Iceland, and many European countries, English had been compulsary for at least two decades (I know in Iceland, they have daily classes in English and Icelandic since the first grade, in the 7th grade, they have to pick a third language. (It was imposed in 1992).
	🚂 ♥ 2:44pm Bas NL: @ngh LOVE the futbol Spanish! :D
	🚂 ♥ 2:44pm Sem: ngh: Mark Kurlansky who wrote the trilogy Basques, Salt, Cod asserts the same argument, that the Basques knew a very very good thing when they saw it, and kept Newfoundland and waters a secret. Passed through Port Aux Basques, Newfoundland, every summer til I was sixteen on my way to my grandparents place.
	🚂 ♥ 2:45pm northguineahills: @Bas: Dated a Dutch girl. she gave up and just spoke to me in English When I've had a few drinks, my brain goes randomly from English to Spanish to German to Japanese (sometimes to others). I lose the filter.
	🚂 ♥ 2:46pm Bas NL: i noticed the Dutch are very poor in 'modulating' their English, as Dutch is a rather 'flat' language.
	🚂 ♥ 2:47pm Sem: This tour of Namibian music is a seriously good treat, DD.
	🚂 ♥ 2:47pm Michael 98145: I have a dumb theory that we have compartments in our brains for each language we learn.
	♥ 2:47pm David Dichelle: Thanks, Sem, glad you enjoyed it!
	🚂 ♥ 2:47pm Bas NL: We should have a drink one day, @ngh!
	♥ 2:48pm Gaylord Fields: My partner and I were in Malmö a couple of years ago (she took Swedish lessons in the early aughts), and I challenged her to ask people for directions only in Swedish. People were so kind to indulge her by replying in Swedish, even though she doesn't sound native and their English is as good as ours.
	🚂 ♥ 2:48pm Michael 98145: @Bas, that is interesting. English is thought to be such a -flat- lang, itself.
	♥ 2:49pm fred: Then there is the Sorbonne English dialect, which is only spoken and understood by English language teachers in France. It also has its own grammar, tenses, and pronunciation (basically French's, imposed artificially). No wonder we're so bad with the actual language
	2:49pm headcleaner: When I've had a few drinks, I speak all the languages I've ever flirted with, or whatever is spoken by whoever I'm trying to communicate / ingratiate with, at some allegedly impressive level of proficiency. The reality, however...
	🚂 ♥ 2:50pm Bas NL: If learned English, French, German, Latin and (old) Greek at school; to varying degree...
	🚂 ♥ 2:50pm Michael 98145: Oh, no. Nearing the station already?
	🚂 ♥ 2:51pm northguineahills: @Gaylord: People would speak to me in Quebecois (but they knew English) in Montreal (where I really learned French). In Paris, everyone just went straight to English.
	♥ 2:51pm TDK60: Great music there, David, the Namibian set.
	🚂 ♥ 2:51pm Stanley: Please check you have all your belongings with you before leaving the train.
	🚂 ♥ 2:52pm David (in London): Great show today David, as usual.
	♥ 2:52pm Gaylord Fields: I have a Quebeçois friend who would go to Paris on business a few times a year, and the French people he met with would ask him to conduct business in English (not his native language)! He says they had trouble with the guttural nature of his Quebec French, along with all the 18th-century–isms.
	🚂 ♥ 2:52pm David (in London): And don't leave the remains of your chips and gravy under your seat.
	🚂 ♥ 2:52pm northguineahills: @fred: As you know, before the 19th c there was probably at least a dozen languages in France, and that's not including basque, breton, or occitaine.
	🚂 ♥ 2:53pm Bas NL: This train is always SO FAST! Love what i heard David, but the archives await! Thanks!
	♥ 2:53pm Gaylord Fields: @ngh: Hahaha!!! I wrote the above before I saw what you wrote!!!
	🚂 ♥ 2:53pm Sem: Please return your companion to their original upright position.
	2:53pm headcleaner: And that reality is... music, films, TV and shooting the shit with people in bars and cafes are all very helpful for getting our gears to start turning. But at some point we do have to roll up our sleeves and hit the books. Learn those fridge 14 simple verb tenses (let alone the composite forms), all the exceptional nouns that conjugate differently in the accusative, separable versus non separable verbs... all incredibly tedius and unsexy... but in reality, if you really want to learn a language at C2 level or higher, there are no shortcuts - ya gotta do the work
