"»Butter and cheese« is proper English and proper Fries."

Unfortunately Fries is not supported, but I'd be interested in the results. But I don't think polyglots for natural languages are common, this is in fact the only one I know.

And it doesn’t have a Universal Declaration of Human rights: http://www.unicode.org/udhr/index_by_name.html

It does have several translations of the bible, though. I guess it would be a lot of work to find bible translations for all those languages - or was there another reason for using the Human Rights Declaration?

P.S. Kudos, very cool project!

EDIT: Frisian version should you want it: https://www.google.com/search?q=Yn+betinken+nommen+dat+it+er...

Thanks! Currently, the UDHRs are crawled, and I’d rather not include exceptions and maintain their plain-text and XML/JSON versions by hand. If you’re into growing the language, I suggest contacting the Office of the High Commissioner of Human Rights of the UN, and the Unicode project, or fork wooorm/udhr and add support, I’ll merge :)

Fries as in Frisian? I don’t think it has one million speakers (right?) :p
