We make up words on the fly, and they already exist, conjugate everything known to man including first names, and the language is so difficult to outsiders they've coined the phrase, "It's all Greek to me." I'm not exactly fluent anymore, although still close. Then again, my English isn't too hot: I tend to verbify, nounify, and even adverbify ("He podcastingly addressed the audience") with reckless abandon :) English has got nothing on Greek!
