How do other languages fare? Does a language that uses accent marks with their vowels fare as well?
I wanted to know if a non-english language would cope without vowels.
One that uses the ABC alphabet, not kanji/arabic 'script', so for example á Á à À ȧ
To me they are one vowel, but how does removing them from a language affect the reading comprehension?

That's why I'm not using an online translator, I would prefer a Swedish native would translate the quote into Swedish, remove the vowels, then see if the remainder makes sense in Swedish.
(substitute your native language and let me know.)

Part-reason: wondering whether it's worth the time to switch to unicode (well, Microsoft's version for now).

"á Á à À",sometimes used in names, to change pronounce from the usual vowel to the one with accent mark
A database with lots of names, many users with names like -"svensso'n" would be angry they got their name spelled wrong that their name isn't same as "svensson" and might be spoken wrong by some personal that use database, forget the special importance of second vowel

Try this:

QuoteAnapretply fro an elingsh skerpea tsih is slitl dreablae, veen thwi no wovles.
Woh do thoer alagunges arfe? Esdo a glaungea hatt sues cantce krams thiw reith wolves rafe sa lewl?

Bet you could still read that without too much difficulty (fidiclufty), yes?

Took me a minute to get into an anagram mindset.
