        The article ‘dat’ doesn’t match with Nordic languages. Google translate says its Krio language, which is English-based and lingua franca in Sierra-Leone. However, I can’t tell whether that’s correct.

          Well, the text in the review is obviously joking about how there’s characters missing, so it is just English with substituted characters. I was just saying it looks less like Dutch to me, and more like a Nordic language. I am Dutch though, so I am probably biased :p

            I just wanted to defend that it doesn’t look Dutch, but neither Nordic. I know how they look, as I’ve been living there for a while.

            But, looking at the image, It’s probably just a joke that one can’t write a properly spelled text with that keyboard.

            For me it looks like my grandma has been trying to write a text in English ‘by ear’.

      I think it’s “I recommend it to all Amazon watchers!”, but I don’t know what Amazon watchers are supposed to be. Also, if that were correct, it’d mean they used b to replace m in “recommend” (“recabed”) but g in “Amazon” (“Agazad”), which would be a little inconsistent considering they used d > n and a > o in both words. So it’s probably not Amazon, I guess. Maybe a show or something because of the capital A?

      edit: after thinking about it for a few more hours, maybe it’s a porn site or a euphemism for porn? I don’t know any that would translate to “Agazad,” but that’d explain the need for a one-hand keyboard.
