As I was saying, if "it has long words with sound/letter combinations that monolingual Anglophones find hard to read/pronounce" is the only criterion for "this language is too funny-sounding to be real", then I guess Nuxalk must be absolutely hilarious.

Like it or not, German is one of those languages where the spelling of a word actually gives you a very good idea of how it is pronounced.
