In Finnish we have “kissanristiäiset” (literally means a cat’s christening), which means some trivial and meaningless celebration/event.

    When something is complete gibberish, it “sounds like volapyk” / lyder som volapyk.

    In Dutch we say “This might as well be Turkish”, if something makes no sense.
    If I recall correctly, I Turkish they call complete gibberish “Chinese”, and Mandarin just straight skips to “ethereal writing”.

    You can definitely see which one’s the more difficult language, here.
