Okay, I did that one very quickly. Looking back on it, here's my revised version:
Jeg er sikker på at det finnes flere nordmenn, men det finnes ikke en sticky for dem.

I know there is another one, Dr. something something, but I lost all track of him.
Anyways, I wanted to request seperate sticky threads or sub-forums for geographical gropus. First for the fun of it, but also to be able to speak your native language.

There are only two things I can't stand in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures... and the Dutch.
Sorry, couldn't help that.

Regarding country specific forums, I don't think they'd really achieve all that much. If you wish to keep in contact with compatriot members, then there are better means of doing so.
I think annk already mentioned this, but I think if you want to write in another language, at least some sort of translation should be provided - more out of courtesy than anything else. Just like in real life, it's rude to have a conversation in another language that members of the group can't understand. I'm bilingual (Ukrainian and English), and I know that if someone involved in the conversation can't understand Ukrainian I will either speak in english or translate anything that's been said.
Haven't really been around the past half year and wha'd'you know - a Danish thread and a whole bunch of new Danes. How hyggeligt ...
... but however hyggelig it is, it might be a bit over the top with a subforums or stickies.
Anyway, one of the main reasons I come here is the incredible inside view of American culture
Why don't you just start a thread in the community forum about all things Danish... people interested could just subscribe in that one. Those would be manly Danes and pastry fetichists.

It's called the letter "ø".
Seriously though, I think the Wiki article says it pretty well. The closest I can come is the sound of the "i" in "bird", if you say it with a British accent, or the vowel sound in the French "boeuf". In addition, the lips are pretty much pursed when you say it.

Very good. Børd or bøf is a good example.
BTW, bird and steak are "fugl" and "bøf" in Danish.
It is now updated with 9 Danes, plus that Dr. something I can't find.
An amount of these have supported the idea, and also made proposlas to simpy start a thread.
I live in that country to the south of Denmark
which shall remain nameless. However, I originally hail from the land of Steve Jobs, but on the other side of the country.
However, I do want to visit up north there someday, but it is just so expensive!
Any suggestions on making a fun, cheap trip?

Well, I shall teach you fluent Danish and give you a free trip to Denmark, for the low low price of one 15" high end maxed out Merom MacBook Pro.
Otherwise, I would be glad to have a MacRumors get together in Denmark. That would be awesome.
I have a suspicion my big brother was active here last year. He says he wasn't, bu he's the one who told me about this site... hmmm
His name is Jason, lives in Ringsted, Denmark, and has a rev. B 14" iBook G4.

Wow! South Africa uses 11 different languages, second to only India?dextertangocci said:What about a South African club
There are about 3 of us on MR
Afrikaans, English, Ndebele, Northern Sotho, Sesotho, Swazi, Tsonga, Tswana, Venda, Xhosa and Zulu.
So, how do you type that "clicking" sound? (Sorry for OT: just curious)

Hehe, yeah, jeg vet, I'm a stealth Norwegian (American living in Norway for 19 years).
I just love Danish. At first, when I moved to Oslo and met and heard my first Danes, I couldn't believe any of you actually understood each other.
Now, I love it and wish I speak it, not just understand it.
