152. When We Lived in Holland, My Wife and I Would Try To Guess Which Language Was Being Spoken

We once sat in...of all things...a Mexican restaurant in Delft. We could overhear Dutch conversations, obviously, and German and French ones, and Turkish, and Greek, and so on. But there was one table where the language was completely indistinct to us. Eventually, we stopped by their table and asked, in Dutch, where they were from.

"Scotland".

We were hearing "English", but couldn't identify it!
