@PleegWat I misremembered the Dutch name; it was Kneu.
It's "Berk Music" as in "How to tame your dragon", right?
This is Berk. The food here is tough and tasteless. Its inhabitants, even more so.

Speaking of German - I always wondered how ABZUGSZÜNGELWARNUNG sounds to actual German speakers.
Dafuq. Is that a like warning label not to lick the trigger of a gun or a kitchen exhaust? I mean … good advice both of them, but I didn't know there's a word for it.
I made it up. Trigger warnings are supposed to be scary, and nothing's scarier than long German words.

Long polish words with lots of consonants and diacritics?

I think I've once seen a German word for "wire to be put on a wooden fence where you grows tomatoes", so why not?

Short german words. Shouted at you while you sleep in bed.

I think having them shouted at you when you sleep not in a bed might be even scarier - especially when you consider all possible reasons why you might not be sleeping in a bed.

Google thinks you're not clever enough.
But it also epically fails to produce a pronunciation that even sounds a smidge like what it looks like it should.,.

Really? Because to me the generated pronunciation sounds exactly like what I expected.

Now that I'm slightly more conscious, I can hear that it's merely spelling it out.
I don't know if I should feel anything about this.

Can confirm. That works. Even on kids that don't speak German. Although generally they don't speak anything at all for a bit after, in any case.
Also works on housecats, regardless of whether they speak German.

There's a German word for observing the process of making a German word for that, you know.

Those are just decorative accents, they don't actually mean anything.

Nonsense. In fact, they are quite adequate for doing counts.

@Applied-Mediocrity Huh. I get the strip in my email every morning, but not for about another 2 hours. Did you get it from the website?

@HardwareGeek Yes. The website has new strips posted conveniently when it's morning here at UTC+2. Midnight over yonder, I guess.

I don't know Chinese but I'm pretty sure every glyph is always pronounced the same (or very close).
Ancient Egyptian
You sure?
sign...
I don't think pronunciation works there at all.

There are several different spoken languages in China, and they share the written language, so I'd expect the glyphs to have wildly different pronunciations.

Staying with the Latin alphabet, we have French where half the vowels don't work the way you expect, and most of the letters are silent depending on the word
