The language of the camino

On the Camino you get to hear many different languages. Of course Spanish as it is the language of the country but you will also hear Euskadi,  the language of the Basque country and Gallego, the language of Galicia. 

As people come from many different countries to walk the Camino there are so many different languages spoken all along the way. 

During my walk I have heard Spanish, French,  German,  Dutch,  Finnish,  Swedish, Italian, Korean just to name a few.  But the language that is the lingua franca, or most spoken language, on Camino is English,  or at least a type of English.  Being an English teacher I'm quite fussy about the way English is spoken and often find the way that non native s speak my language humorous.

For instance when we stayed in Rabanal, where there is an English run albergue,  we saw a menu board outside a restaurant that gave us quite a few laughs. For instance what are Friek eggs?

 

That being said I have to take my hat off to all those different nations for practising English along the way because in general they do very well and make themselves understood without too much problem.
