Ah heck! I'll never be able to tell between those Scandinavian languages!

alk5. Norwegian

Anyway, the following are NOT for the faint of heart:
(One clue is that they all have something in common; another clue: all of them except the last one have ANOTHER thing in common )

If you can get any of these on your first attempt, well then, you've proven yourself to be really good at this.

Well.. right except the last, although I wouldn't expect anyone to know that one unless theyre some old teacher of mine or have gone through my stuff.

[Tau Ceti]

These are getting tough... but someone has to start guessing. My guess is that the common factor of those languages is being extinct. So:

AV: Sumerian?
AX: Phoenician?
AY is some kind of ancient Germanic, possibly Nordic, and it is a bible quote, about turning the other cheek when someone strikes you.
AZ: Assyrian?

BB makes no sense on my screen. Lots of (, &, $ and @. Do you need some special encoding to see it properly?

Elements of the same in BC - a randomly placed '?'

[Al'Kimiya]

In phonetics the ? sound denotes a glottal stop. I guess there are many different ways to transcribe languages

[ranskaldan]

Tau Ceti:
Yes, you are very much on the right track, especially AY.

All of them, except BD, are Indo-European.

And no, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the encoding.

[mapfi]

AF is "Letzebuergesch" one of Luxembourg's languages

I'm actually quite surprised that for me it's understandable, almost better than Dutch.

[Viking Berserk]

"Du treng ikkje tenkja på alt dette kvar gong du skriv eit dikt. Heller ikkje ein forfattar tenkjer så mykje over slikt når han skriv som best: Det er noko ein har i seg når ein har skrive lenge. Men det er viktig å vita om det den dagen du treng det. Sjå nøye på dikt du kjem over, og spør diktarar du møter korleis dei arbeider."

Western-Norwegian...

~translation~

"You don't have to think about all this everytime you write a poem. Neither do a author think so much about such when he writes as best: It's something you got in you when you have written for a long time. But it is important to know about it te day you need it. Look close on the poems you read, and ask poets you meet how they work."
