Stereotypes in languages...

Just felt like doing a little experiment..

So here's what to do:

For the language in the post above you, say what you think 'sounds' typically like that language (like a random word or phrase or something). Then type another language at the bottom in the same post for the next person.

So I'll start:

Chinese
Welcome to ****** wok, would you like some ****** chicken?


Swedish.
you mean like ching-chong?
...I hopes some randomer doesn't call me a racist over this...*ends sarcasm*
French
le anything


Spanish
lol ye i did mean like 'ching chong'.

Spanish - los posteros de los thyoness...

hmm this is kinda tricky

Hindi


Even in a crowd I'm ronery:frown:

Oi oi! I want to do Linguistics at uni! Interesting little experiment

What was there, swedish? hurdy gurdy gurdy

Sign Language ;P - nah bit difficult with electronic, AMERICAN

And I think these stereotypical associations are to do with what our personal society creates, would be completely different if study was in China/Germany/America even, maybe?
Lol you got the Swedish from Catherine Tate!

sign language: :clap2: :confused:

Hindi
