Easy! That one is Swedish. |

For the first one: Ik weet het niet. Though it is a little overpronounced, like for instructional purposes. |

The accent sounds like Afrikaans, it's not regular Dutch. Could be somebody who can do a passable Dutch accent, but is an English native speaker. |

It's Dutch, with an overdone American accent. |

I wonder if Bjork has ever watched the swedish chef |

Yep. Dutch. Good morning. My name is Brad. Sorry to hear that. Brad. Give my regards to Janet. |

It's Dutch, with an overdone American accent. Oh, that cracked me up. Obviously Americans can't handle a Dutch accent. |

Now this is a real Language, what everyone was speaking in the UK before the Romans, Nomans,Vikings and other invaders pushed us out into the hills. Diolch i chi am ddarllen! YouTube link |

American advert. Presumably made in America and therefore simpler to find an American actor to speak the Dutch bit! Bjork is Icelandic. Don't they speak Danish or Norwegian rather than Swedish? |

@ freewargamesrules One of the Cthonic languages but let's not forget Goidelic: YouTube link (very funny comment: It's Scotland. She should just say "rain")

Icelandinc is basicly a variation of norse language, much like what was spoken in norway about 1100. But all Icelanders learn danish in school, however, danish pronouce danish rather odd, and since danish and norwegian is very much the same. when icelanders speak danish it sounds more or less like modern norwegian. |

Oh, that cracked me up. Obviously Americans can't handle a Dutch accent. Of course not. This past week I was in a boutique food shop and asked for some Gouda cheese. The clerk had no idea what I was asking for. Apparently, he didn't know "how da" pronounce the name
OK
it's a little more like a "kh" instead of a "h", but it really depends on where you are in the Netherlands and who is actually speaking. And partially how fast they are talking. Your mileage may vary
but it ain't Goo-duh. |
