Hi Ramon,
You can talk about strangely spelt place names, COL-OG-KNEE! http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...es/biggrin.gif My father actually spent some time in Koln (whats the code for an umlaut?), but he always claims he ended up learning German with a regional dialect. Is it true that Koln has a strong accent? ------------------ http://website.lineone.net/~swhite10...ile/knight.gif http://angelfire.com/rpg/castletainly/gifs/ps3.gif Holy Avenger of the OHF HATS for sale baby!

Point taken, but the reason I said Great Britain was because as you say England is not always recognised, particulary outside of Europe, I am English but I am also British. Britain is England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. It's is the name under which we carved our colonial Empire. Great Britain is a name to be proud of. But I am English and I am very proud to be so, and let no one forget which nation conquerd Scotland, Wales and Nothern Ireland. Obviously all this conquest talk could get me into a nasty argumant with people from the aformentioned nations, particularly Ireland. I am not advocating conquest I am simply saying it happend, and I am proud of the empire we once had under the flag of Great Britain. Unless you are a football, rugby or cricket supporter you are not likely to recognise the English flag if you are not from either England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland or France. The Australian flag has the British flag 'Union Jack' in the corner not the English flag. I know that a lot of Ausies are avid cricket, rugby fans so will no doubt know the English flag but how many Americans can honestly say they would recognise the English flag if they saw it? I know they would recognise the British flag but what about the English.?? or how many Germans would know it? ------------------ http://hesperex.tripod.com/hesperex.jpg My website http://hesperex.8k.com Hesperex Freth: 1st son of Matron Mother Shi'nayne Freth, 1st house of Ched'Nesad.

Milord, sorry, I don't know the codes for Umlaute as I am using a German keyboard with own keys reserved for Umlaute, but on the "German" thread on the GD forum Cb asked the same question and the incomparable Archbabe Melusine answered and listed some codes/shortcuts. Another possibility is to load other keyboard configurations into Windows and switch to one of these when writing in another language. That is the way I do it whenever I write in Spanish/Catalan/French. Yes, Cologne has its own regional dialect which is very distinct from official "High German" and in which the locals take much pride, but Western and Nothern German dialects generally tend not to carry over to High German as much as much the Southern ones like Bavarian. But Rhinish people, especially from Cologne, can still often be identified when speaking High German by a certain "melodic" way in their intonation or accentuation. It is called the "Rhinish singsang" - and it sure feels like home for me ! http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...miles/wink.gif ------------------ So long !

Hesperex, I wasn't after a particulars debate. The question was "which country are you from". Not "which Empire". As is too often the case imho Englands name is ommited in favour of the Empire name. No offence intended btw. ------------------ One love, peace. |

Well I'm originally from a place called Middle Earth,but I doupt anyone has ever heard of it!http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...es/biggrin.gif Anyway,there I was,sneekin' around in the depths below the Misty Mountains,when I stumbles on this portal.My curiosity got the better of me so through it I went and ended up here in this place the locals call England.Unfortunately,the portal was one-way,so now I'm stuck here without my precious!http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...les/triste.gif
On the bright side though,I began telling stories about my homeland to some old bloke with a pipe-who said he was a writer and wanted to publish my tales.Now I'm a bit of a celebrity,and with the royalties I'm gettin' off the book sales and the new movie adaptation,I'll soon have enough to forge me a new precious!

I have only once been to the Czech Republic, to Praha/Prague/Prag of course, on a trip with my grammar school English course. I loved it very much, it is a very, very beautiful city. Btw, do you consider yourself to be an Eastern or Central European ? Or maybe you just do not care about semantics like that ? http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...iles/smile.gif ------------------ So long !

Hello everyone
------------------ http://kung_lao.tripod.com/1.gif [IMG]:1druid:[/IMG] I am Demoquin, Agent from Hell |
Yes Prag is a beautiful city, but some people in Prag are vain.
Eastern or Central, I don't know. Geographicaly is my country in Central Europe, but politicaly is more in Eastern Europe. In Germany I was several times. Before fall of iron curtain I was with my family in Dresden, Halle, East Berlin and on island Rujana. ------------------ http://www.tgeweb.com/images/forum/icons/magic.gif |

Like most West Germans I have not been to the eastern part quite that much. I have, of course, been to Berlin - I took me several visits to grow to like it, at first I found it to be just too big, too little structured - also to Leipzig - a friend of mine lives there, it a very nice city, great parks and lots of intact old town quarters - and to the baltic shore region, Pomerania and Mecklenburg, including to Rügen, a very beautiful island which combines many diverse landscapes on a small surface. I have yet to travel to Halle or Dresden. Nice talking to you ! http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...iles/smile.gif ------------------ So long !
