Although not Irish, I celebrated Saint Patrick's Day with another friend of Ireland with a few cans of Guinness.

 

Reading the text printed on the can (see photo below), we were puzzled by the following:

The above is near the top of the attached photo and is obviously the symbol for centilitre, but in what language?

The above is near bottom of the attached photo. What does 1 PANT mean and in what language is it?

Thank you. I think I shall wait until it gets a bit warmer in Norway to go and collect the refund for the empty cans :smile:

 

Regarding the letter Л, I have in the meantime figured out that it is the Cyrillic letter L and stands for litre, ie 0.44 L. Drink Guinness and you learn all sorts of languages and alphabets.

But, you may have forgotten them by next morning.

 

Still, you will have the memory of drinking (IMHO) the best beer in the world.

Glad you got that sorted out Maestro. I thought for a minute that the person you got that from owned a brewery as well as the distillery I got this from.......:whistling:
