Haha, I have no idea if you are right, because I have never tried to learn any of these languages, although I know the Greek alphabet. I would never be able to learn the thousands of Chinese letters, at least not in my age 😉
I haven't read further why and who thought first of calling them Hun.

Yeah and to me languages have also become a nightmare. Marian is good at it, as she marks many international students, but since my English teaching days I haven't touched it again.
The Kaiser of Germany, Wilhelm ll, called the German soldiers Huns in 1900.
Cheers and thanks!
I can greet or order food and such in the languages of our surrounding countries, but I can't read or write - English is enough, everyone speaks English, even the Chinese 😉
So you looked it up - nice 😉

Now if you want a head spinner then read this Hannes,
And I only know two of them and smatterings of the others!

I don't know anyone that can speak all of the 35 languages in our country!
Yeah, I just had to know who called them huns first. Amazing that it was German who called his own people by a deregotary name!
Cheers and thanks!
I think we have been talking before about the many languages in South Africa? I can't remember if it was you, but I remember that someone has already told me about them. But it doesn't matter - these are so many languages that I wouldn't even be able to remember their names.

Yes, guilty as charged my friend, as we have discussed the issue before and this time it was started with the German word "Hun".
At times I feel like a stranger in my own country, especially when the people can't speak English 🤣
Cheers and thanks!
Well, our neighbors on the same floor are from Romania, the ones below are from Serbia I believe, the other neighbors are from Albania and below them there are people from Bulgaria. If I am not wrong, in our apartment house, which has 16 apartments, there are at least 6 different languages spoken 😉

Wow! It sounds like a "hurry curry" mix, but I take it that everyone can speak English, or at least a little bit of English, like Hello and Goodbye as at least then you can have a conversation 🤣
Cheers and thanks!
