Danish-style kurrent is the final boss of my genealogy research. There's a nice image on the Wikipedia page. Look at the a, e, o, r, s, v, æ and ø in lower case, and imagine that written by a Danish priest with early parkinson's and/or being drunk.




There's some poetic beauty in the difficulties of understanding the nuances of spoken Danish be matched by the same in reading. :)

Once when interrailing I asked my compartment-mates (compartmates?) for their languages' worst tongue-twisters. And the Danish one was God-awful.

Why does the c have a breve above it!?
