I've just remembered another palindrome: A SLUT NIXES SEX IN TULSA Presumably, a headline - the situation being so unusual ? Hope I've got it right this time ... Regards, Jenny | | | JPW (X) Local time: 21:16 Spanish to English + ...
I've been a native speaker of English for some oh, 37 years now, but Nixes?? Then I looked it up and it all made sense: to refuse, is that right? ....you learn something new every day (the rest of the words I knew already). | | | The only language with a palindromic name? | Mar 17, 2008 |
Malayalam, spoken in Southern India. I don't know if this is the only one, but according to Salman Rushdie it is and I can't think of any others. Of course, it may not be a palindrome in Malayalam. | | | Vidomar (X) Local time: 17:16 English to Portuguese Longest palindrome in Portuguese | Mar 23, 2008 |
A NAMORADA RIA DO CASACO DA IRADA ROMANA (The girlfriend laughed at the angry Roman woman´s coat). I´m kidding. Maybe this is not the longest palindrome in my language. But it is the longest I created. If anyone knows a longer one, please tell me. Cheers! | |

the longest single-word palindrome I know in Dutch is 'parterretrap'. but I also like "Naai 'r dan, Adriaan." meaning "Screw her then, Adriaan." I know, I know...
