I think this is a good source for learning several languages at one time. Seriously, you can look at the word "sugar", for example.

There are English, French, German, Spanish, Portguese, Italian, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish (mmm, difficult), Russian (this is very difficult), Greek (very difficult), Polish (difficult), Chech (difficult), Arabic (you'll need at least 30 days to learn the letters), Japanese (my native tongue so no problem for me), and Chinese (the characters are the same so I can guess to some extent).

In this picture, there are Norwegian (blurred), Danish, Finnish, Russian, Greek, Polish, Chech, Arabic, Japanese, and Chinese (blurred).

Local children read the phrase "point to it," from U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Jeremy Torres-Cortes' language translation card, while patrolling the Wadawu valley of Nuristan province, Afghanistan, Aug. 7. U.S. service members are issued the cards, which offer basic phrases in Afghanistan's native languages, as well as pictures, before deploying there. Torres-Cortes is a member of Headquarters and Headquarters Battery, 2nd Battalion, 77th Field Artillery Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, based out of Fort Carson, Colo. The patrol was part of an operation where Afghan national security forces and International Security Assistance Forces teamed up to disrupt insurgent activity before the nation's second national elections,
scheduled for late August.

Language Distribution of Oregon Natives




Image by Travis S.

The visitor's center was about half the size of the gift shop but still had some interesting information inside. This is a map of western Oregon's Native language groups. Other than Tillamook and Clackamas, I'm not really familiar with any of them.

While at Broken Mammoth, a woman, Cynthia told me she was a part of a tribe along the Oregon coast. She said I had never heard of it and in doing so when she told me, that probably made me forget it. I don't even know which part of the coast she was from. If I had to guess I would say Siuslawan and Coosan (purple).
