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'.
