Is the limburgish word uncountable? Then we need the template {{li-subst-oräkn}}. "85" 16 augusti 2009 kl. 20.09 (CEST)

Forget that question! Now I've seen that Ooswesthoesbes has added plural forms.[1] :P "85" 16 augusti 2009 kl. 20.12 (CEST)

Well, even if it was uncountable (which is very, very rare in Limburgish, blood: there are different types of blood, so there's a plural; swedish: there are different dialects/ways to pronounce it etc, so there's a plural, sounds strange but "swedishes" (Zwieëdsjer) is correct Limburgish) there's no need for a template. Just typing "-" also works :) --Ooswesthoesbes 16 augusti 2009 kl. 20.19 (CEST)

Ok! Strange... "svenskor"^? (Swedishes) = "sorters svenska" (kinds of Swedish) is completely wrong in Swedish, and in English. Do you know if there's any other language where nearly every noun has a plural form? :P "85" 16 augusti 2009 kl. 21.05 (CEST)

Actually there are only three languages in Europe I'm aware of that have this strange thing. :) Limburgish, Selfkantish (or whatever the English name may be, it is spoke some 2 km away from my town here, strictly speaking it is Limburgish, but since the early 19th century the language takes its own path) and some Ripuarian dialects (ksh, spoken some 30 to 40 km away from my town) You could say that this is quite normal for the Limburgish region, but most people don't understand it elsewhere. Sometimes I even use wrong plurals in Dutch or English :) Also countries can have a plural, like for Iceland: Ieslandj (singular) and Ieslenj (plural). There could be two "Icelands": the Iceland of 1937 and the Iceland of 1986 :) Of course many of these forms are very rare. --Ooswesthoesbes 17 augusti 2009 kl. 07.12 (CEST)
