That's just Dutch
Dat is geen nederlands, vriend
That's not dutch, friend
Fries misschien
With the traed? It definitely looks more like some Scandinavian language.
The article 'dat' doesn't match with Nordic languages. Google translate says its Krio language, which is English-based and lingua franca in Sierra-Leone. However, I can't tell whether that's correct.
Well, the text in the review is obviously joking about how there's characters missing, so it is just English with substituted characters. I was just saying it looks less like Dutch to me, and more like a Nordic language. I am Dutch though, so I am probably biased :p
I just wanted to defend that it doesn't look Dutch, but neither Nordic. I know how they look, as I've been living there for a while.
But, looking at the image, It's probably just a joke that one can't write a properly spelled text with that keyboard.
For me it looks like my grandma has been trying to write a text in English 'by ear'.
