ATG Language
Most European countries still speak in the barbaric tongues of pre-1776 civilization.

A form of pidgin English is spoken in the city of England, often used to depict villains in Vinewood movies.

We strongly recommend that you strive to avoid direct contact with the local yokels wherever possible. However, if you are forced into a situation where conversation with a European becomes necessary, these three steps will stand you in good stead:

Hold tightly onto your wallet

Speak slowly and loudly like you are talking to someone with a mental handicap - most have one

Move closer into their personal space and repeat at a higher volume
