Pole here. Trivial. Then again, I studied in Denmark, so I know how to read those fancy letters.
Re:Spellfucker by drdaeman on Friday April 28, 2017 @07:12AM (#14218443)
Russian here. Was easy to read. Took a few seconds to figure out the sounds for the letters I didn't knew, and, of course, it looks odd so just glancing over the phrase doesn't work - but no issues otherwise. Don't know any Nordic languages.

Translation: As a Norwegian, it wasn't too hard to read your writing like this. I wonder how difficult it is for a Slav to understand Norwenglish...
Re:Spellfucker by nojvek on Friday April 28, 2017 @10:47AM (#14219771)
African here. Was readable in second pass. Pretty cool trick though.
Re:Spellfucker by jheriko on Friday April 28, 2017 @07:16AM (#14218464)
English here. Easy enough to understand too...

Ju kud mejk jt horrorshow jf ju fjlly wjs vocabulary ala Anthony Burgess' Nadsad.

On a related note:

For my Russian friends it was obvious that Chewbacca is Chelovek (man) + Sabaka (dog) while I would have never made that connection.

"The writing of Hungarian is largely phonetic" So this program wouldn't work for hungarian. Oh well. Your comment would look like this pronounced by me on an elementary level: Jú kud ték a lengvidzs from ö diffrönt lengvidzs femili tu örrájv et számszing szimilár. For fördör ábföszkésön jú kud júz diffrönt trenszlésön.

Re:Spellfucker by tasuki on Friday April 28, 2017 @05:12AM (#14217966)
I find it amusing how big the differences are between the Slavic languages. So, krige is obviously Polish (not even trying to hide it with the ł, but also using "sz" for "sh"). My guess would be xixixao is Czech or Slovak. Correct?
Re:Spellfucker by xixixao on Sunday April 30, 2017 @07:31AM (#14231061)
Czech, correct. I didn't use our letters for the sounds easily replecated in english, so sh and ch would be š and č in Czech.
Re:Spellfucker by chx on Friday April 28, 2017 @04:57AM (#14217912)
All clear, yes except for 'uidaut' and 'łud' -- is the latter "would"?
Re:Spellfucker by jwilk on Friday April 28, 2017 @05:31AM (#14218035)
uidaut = without

łud = would

Re:Spellfucker by jwilk on Friday April 28, 2017 @05:25PM (#14223181)
Your digraphs and trigraphs make my head hurt...

Translation: Lovely concept. You could even try using an even more distant language, Hungarian that is. I wonder how much of this is comprehensible to others.

Re:Spellfucker by chx on Friday April 28, 2017 @09:01PM (#14224371)
Nicely done! So it works. I badly want to see the software, however, which can do the same translation.
Re:Spellfucker by igorpavlov on Friday April 28, 2017 @04:07PM (#14222648)
I find the comparison with Slavic languages quite funny :) Just keep in mind, simple transliteration is easily reversible. Spellfucker - not.
Re:Spellfucker by chx on Friday April 28, 2017 @09:08PM (#14224395)
It's not a straight transliteration -- it's not like we are writing IPA phonetic marks by-the-by in two different languages. For example your "th" in "thing" doesn't exist in Hungarian so I will use "sz" which by the way is one of the common pronunciation mistakes we make: replacing /θ/ with /s/. There are sounds in Hungarian which do not exist in English and yet if I wanted to "encode" the word "duke" I would likely use "gyúk" thus replacing /djuːk/ with /ɟu:k/.
Re:Spellfucker by BoorishBears on Friday April 28, 2017 @05:10AM (#14217960)
As soon as I start to read it with a Slavic accent (after reading the last line) it clicked
Re:Spellfucker by MrZeus on Friday April 28, 2017 @05:23AM (#14218014)
I could also read it OK, with concentration (not Slavic). Ai theenke thet eefe ay red laikh theiss four ey uayl eye wood gette phassterh kueekh-Lee.

Brazilian here with a somewhat good english proficiency. Could understand almost everything. Thanks for that experiment :)

edit- also a little german knowledge by i don't know how much that helped.

Re:Spellfucker by pikzel on Friday April 28, 2017 @04:38AM (#14217852)
I could read it fairly well, and I'm Swedish. Now I feel Slavik.
Re:Spellfucker by jug on Friday April 28, 2017 @05:36AM (#14218054)
Funny, am Swede and thought this was written by a Scandinavian!

Re:Spellfucker by Markoff on Friday April 28, 2017 @03:05PM (#14222153)
indonesian/malaysian language is also phonetic with almost same pronunciation as slavic langiages, maybe except letter C and J, they literally write in Malaysia "bas" (bus), "kaunter" (counter), kolej (college), etc.
