It's a team, my wife and I. Where I come from we have a language of our own, a very strong dialect, with words not used by (m)any English speaking folks anywhere else. Americans stand virtually no chance of understanding it when spoken naturally, and the rest of the UK **may** understand every 3rd or 4th word (when spoken at normal speed). NOTE :- (From wikipedia :- "The dialect is (massively) toned down for comprehension of the general (non-Northumbrian) public."), Many years ago I was sitting in a hotel foyer in Paris, and saw two girls (early 20's) watching (2 of) us with puzzled looks on their faces, after maybe 20 minutes or so they approached us (we were in deep conversation talking more or less non stop), and they tentativley asked us if we spoke English, i think we responded with "wey aye" (that means yes), but our initial response didn't really clarify the matter for them one way or the other . Instead of "Jolly good show" we might use "wey aye !!!", or "Howay man" or "thats canny", maybe even "mint". Here's a couple of links to sites explaining more. http://www.le.ac.uk/ee/glossaries/20...ang/index.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geordie#Geordie_dialect ---------------------------------------------------------------- My husband and his family are from Newcastle Upon Tyne, although they have lived here in Canada since 1964, and it would seem they have lost the 'thickest' part if their accents (hubby was 3 when they came over, so sounds and is truly Canadain). I've heard stories about the Geordie language....thanks for the links - I know they'll be curious to read the Slang Dictionary. Kathi |
