Eurolingo

I am not sure if this has ever come to mind, but visiting different countries I have noticed various words of other countries from Europe creeping into daily use in other countries, especially amongst the younger people trying to be 'cool'.

So I reckon in the not too distant future the European parliament will catch onto this and declare that they will instigate a Eurolingo.

They tried many years ago with Franglais, but of course the French wouldn't speak any English and the UK wouldn't want to learn another language.

So let's try some

Bye = Ciao
Hello = Hi
Thankyou = Bitte
Please = Alstublief
Excuse me = pardon (french accent)

other examples are available!
