Hi Eily,

Thanks for your comments, and for the Finnish suggestions which I've updated the page with.

Et j'espère que tu me pardonneras if I poke fun at your "consonnant length is significant in Finnish" as you accidentally misspelled "consonant" with too many consonants :-)

I'm not very familiar with Finnish, other than being told years ago by a Russian friend from Estonia that, Finland and Estonia being so close in proximity, the languages Finnish and Estonian are easily understandable by both populations. It's one of those cool things about languages, and prompted me to include language family considerations on the page, as studying languages from related families is very helpful.

Another example is Belarusian, Russian and Ukrainian, the voices for which were provided by a friend and coworker who speaks the first two, while his wife speaks Ukrainian -- it's very apparent how similar they are when the three are viewed together.

Oh, and I just saw in my email that my Jordanian friend has provided audio for the Arabic, so I'll be updating that shortly. Edit: Arabic now added!

say  substr+lc crypt(qw $i3 SI$),4,5
