More generally for everyone, what languages do you speak?


Norwegian (native), English (reasonably fluent, I hope), Swedish (as well 
as any Norwegian can fake it), Danish (ditto, which is slightly worse than 
Swedish for pronunciation but better for reading), German (pretty lapsed 
since high school, but at least well enough to read some content), French 
(pretty badly), and anything else I'm dabbling in requires looking things 
up, but I've recently tried learning to sing in Russian and Greek.


Greetings,

English (well), French (very, very badly), and Bad Machine Translation (well 
enough to get by on).

In order of fluency for me:
English (native), Latin, Spanish, German (basic, understanding not 
communication), Esperanto (very basic), Greek (beginning to learn)

I can also understand many languages with a dictionary and grammar.

The set of languages which I speak fluently is smaller than what people
might expect, but I am willing to curl up with a grammar book of many
languages to dabble, of which I have done so with many.

In order of fluidity:

That's pretty good, actually. It's transliterated Neo-Akkadian for "If I
were to send meaningless messages, would it do anything?"

I have an interpretation of the rules. Instead of debating about it, I
think it is much more interesting to do things that test it and see what
Agora decides. I feel my stance on the issue as worded is quite clear given
the translation of the moon language, although I would like to see what o
comes up with.

After googling a bit, here's my attempt using 
http://www.assyrianlanguages.org/akkadian/search.php and 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akkadian:


Orig. transcription
Dictionary lookup
Suggested translation

šumma  našpartamrāqtam
szumma naszparturaqu
If message-acc  void,meaningless-fem-acc

ašpur, mimma epēšū?
szaparumimma epeszu
i sent/wrote,  anything  do/act?
