That's pretty much the Finnish language :D

Just check out the difference between these two phrases written in our goose-y language:

Tapaan sinut.
means I will meet you.

Tapan sinut.
means I will kill you.

(You can use your machine translation of choice to check the meanings of those two phrases, if you wish.)

This isn't so different than:

"I will kill you." vs "I will call you."

Written it looks much more different, but spoken the c in call is pronounced just like the k in kill.
