Ai æm fråm nårvei ænd ai ønderstæn dverri vel vott ju ar seijing. :

 

[Ephratah7]

The text below is written in English, but in a way that is not trivial to understand. I want to see how many readers can understand it:

Aj rajt dis tekst es it vud bi ritn in Kroejšn lengviđ baj samvan hu ken spik ingliš, bat kennot rajt ingliš. Aj vondr hau meni of ju ken andrstend it. If ju ken andrstend it, aj vud olso lajk tu nou volt iz jour nejtiv lengviđ. If ju ken andrstend it, rajt jour rispons in a similar vej.

I write this text as it would be written in Korean language but someone who can speak english, but cannot write english. I wonder how many of you can understand it. If you can understand it, I would also like to vote is your native language. If you can understand it, write your response in a similar way.

Is it correct or not...?

I can't figure out what Eoljs is, but I doubt it means "English".

nårvei is Norway. I apologize for flipness in my responses. I hadn't considered that you were not a native speaker of English. You did much better at interpreting misspelled English, than I would at misspelled Tagalog.

There are now.
Translation: I understand perfectly well, but it takes me a while to get it. Can you translate Irish into English or will it be to difficult for you. Because in Irish there are no k's, j's q's, v's, w's, x's, y's, or z's.

Dere is no problem łis anderstending dis tekst if ju spik polisz as jour ferst lengłidż. Most lajkli bikoz polisz and kroejszian ar not dat diferent in prononsjejszyn, dey ar bot slawik lengłidżys after al.

Main problem here is with "th" - there is no similar sound in Polish. Thus it is not possible to write something that will even closely resemble (in sound) "this" or "both".

Ease fo reading these txts must be at least partially connected to the way language is stored and analyzed in our brains. We don't store letters. Cf Liberman & Mattingly, The motor theory of speech perception.
