        Spanish would be doble ve doble ve doble ve

        In double checking my work, it looks like the alphabet got reduced and the name of w changed.

        Now it’s doble uve doble uve doble uve

      If you skip the “b”, you can speed it up even more with “dudududu” to include the dot.

    In Dutch it’s whey-whey-whey.

    I still remember when companies started mentioning their websites in commercials.
    It was one big torrent of whey-whey-wheys.
