6- the phrase really seems to be romanian, Constanta is a romanian port

I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

1. Definitely Eastern European. I don't know much about Eastern European minorities, so I have no clue.
2. Reminds me a little of Scandinavian languages. Lapp?
3. Mix of Latin and Germanic. Probably from the Low Countries. Frisian?
4. Have no clue.
5. A Latin Language. Looks a lot like French. Langue d'Oc (is it still around)?
6. Have no clue."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way. "

Re: Name That Language European Minorities Special Edition

Okay, all you language Wizzes out there, you're great at finding obscure tongues from all ends of the earth. Here is a new batch, with only one clue to guide you to their origin: They're all the spoken and/or written languages of european minorities without nation states of their own. Think "Basque" (not included here).
Hey, that was easy.

Yes I do. Kaszubski was a wild guess, it was the only Polish minority I could think of AND it certainly did look like Polish once it wasn't Sorbian. As for middle Sorbia, there even is a Sorbian-based (culturally and linguistically) grammar school in this town, however it is only attended by punks really.
I still can't believe that kaszubski actually hit the 100 zone

This leaves #4 and #5.
#4 is, as correctly pointed out, a Turkic language, and the associated ethnic group is one of the most volatile political issues in one of Europe's least-well-known countries.
#5 is a border language between three European countries of which Italy indeed is one.
The rallying cry of the region is "[name of region]'o sejs o Popul, Clamajt la vesta Libertát!"

#5 is indeed Furlan.
Keep guessing on #4! That extract is from one of many translations of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that appear on the UNHCR web site...Världsstad - Dom lokala genrenas vän
