Nudiustertian the rastaquouere announced with lamprophony that the pronk began to inaniloquent about a phenakism by a widdiful who told him tyrotoxism was the same as limerance.

In case you were wondering.......YES the preceding sentence was in English. I found this article about 20 weird English words and attempted to construct a sentence using some of them......just for fun! Here is the list:

1. Erinaceous - Like a hedgehog

2. Lamprophony - Loudness and clarity of voice

3. Depone - To testify under oath

4. Finnimbrun - A trinket or knick-knack

5. floccinaucinihilipilification - Estimation that something is valueless. Proper pronunciation based on Latin roots: flockə-nowsə-nəkələ-pələ-fək-ation.

6. Inaniloquent - To babble

7. Limerance - To be in love

8. Mesonoxian - Pertaining to midnight

9. Mungo - A dumpster diver - one who extracts valuable things from trash

10. Nihilarian - A person who deals with things lacking importance (pronounce the ‘h’ like a ‘k’).

11. Nudiustertian - The day before yesterday

13. Pronk - A weak or foolish person

14. Pulveratricious - Covered with dust

15. Rastaquouere -A social climber

16. Scopperloit - Rude or rough play

18. Tyrotoxism -To be poisoned by cheese

19. Widdiful -Someone who deserves to be hanged

20. Zabernism - The abuse of military power or authority. I wonder how long it will take for this one to show up in the comments.

Now that you have the key. You can decipher the sentence. I am of course assuming that you didn't understand it before. I am also assuming that you care enough to go through the exercise.
