To me it sounds something between Low German (niimеn), Danish (krouf, gräns) and English (ailönj, üülje).
Jysk?

Nope, but you are getting close. In Synnejysk it would look like this:
Å æ’n lille ø i æ grænseå Vidå liche æ gammel kro midt i æ ingenmandsland

Yes, it's clearly Germanic. Looks like a mix between English and Dutch. Maybe Frisian? |

Iversen, when replying to Quique, perhaps you missed my guess (above). I don't mind being wrong, I just don't want other people not trying "Frisian" because they think you already dismissed it.

My apologies to Luso - I just saw Quique's answer and overlooked that you already had given the correct solution in your message at the bottom of the preceding page. And yes - the language is Northern Frisian.
What's the next challenge?

No problem at all.
Since it's up to me, and given that I don't know all that much about less known languages, I searched a bit about one of my favourites:
Nencióin súbatu siansa saul e nencióina troka siansa amáur.
A Saturday without sun is like a girl without love.

It is not Portuguese. Maybe you'll want to:
a) guess again my phrase;
b) replace "Britanii" by "Brytanii" in yours. ;)
P.S.: I believe that, according to the rules of this game, you only get to ask a question after you've successfully answered the previous one. If you're sure you're right, you get to do it in the same post, of course.
