We can't even pronounce Rubl's surname. Van der Orshonopitre, or something like that. That would be more Flemish-like I think. My surname has only FOUR characters, but even that doesn't stop foreigners from mangling the sound of it . Guilty your honor...

According to wiki we Dutch are in good company with Irish, Scottish Gaelic, Crimean tartar, Pashto and all that without HP sauce en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GutturalEen recht goedemorgen, m'n beste oldie
