Asking what language is used in Duckburg, is like asking what time it is on the
North Pole...
Nah, if we stick to thinking of Duckburg as a town in the United States of
America, let's say they use English...
.but in most cases where I've seen our friends from Duckburg, they have been
talking Norwegian. In other cases, they have been talking English. In many
cases, the cases where they have been talking Norwegian and the cases where
they were talking English turned out to be the exact same case, depending on
where in the world the publication is printed. And I'm sure you've seen many of
the same stories in... German, I guess. So, Duckburg uses the language of
Fantasy. They use all different languages at once, depending on who's listening.
Just like Santa Claus, you know... He talks all different languages so that
everybody is able to understand him. And I'm sure that if Santa were to talk to
a Norwegian child and a Japanese child at the same time, they would both
understand him - because the language he uses is the language of fantasy.
Everybody understands it. That's the language they use in Duckburg.
Or English, I guess.
