We all speak english, but...

[RedRalph]

I bet there loads we can each say in our local dialect to baffle the others. for example, have a go at translating these from Dublinese to english

"Yis havent a bollix what I'm banging on about"

"Stallin for a few scoops?"

"Hold me sambo while I go for a jimmy riddler"

"I'd bleedin lash her out of it. Hole on her"

 

[joycem10]

Yinz want some jumbo?

 

[steviejay]

"Yis havent a bollix what I'm banging on about"

You positively have no idea what exactly I mean when I explain it to you.

"Hold me sambo while I go for a jimmy riddler"

Hold me <hmm, pass> while I pop off to the toilet.

Pass on the others Stallin for a few scoops? = Fancy a pint?

This is how Dutch speak english:

'Hello, hau aar joe doejing?'
'Aai em faain, senk joe!'

'Wat doe joe sink raait nauw?'
'Aai em sinking: Oh maai kot, hies kot a kun!
Run for joer laaif! '
'Sets streensj.'
'Jèah.'

Now go guess the translation

 

[warpus]

'Wat doe joe sink raait nauw?'
'Aai em sinking: Oh maai kot, hies kot a kun!
Run for joer laaif! '
'Sets streensj.'
'Jèah.'

Now go guess the translation

"Hello how are joe doing?"
"I am fine, sank joe!"
"what do joe sink right now?"
"I am sinking: Oh my cot his cot a ???!"
run for joe life run
"sets ?????"
"Yeah"

is it right?

 

[Mirc]

Oh my cot his cot a ???!"
run for joe life run

Nope, doesn't make sense at all...

"Oh my God he has a gun!
Run for your life, run."

As for Romanians:
"Ai d&#259;unt andestend &#259; u&#259;rd in zis tred." = I don't understand a word of this thread.

 

[Izipo]

That reminds me of NATO speak. You have to hear it to believe it. Imagine 30 (military) guys in a meeting, coming from various nations, of which none has English as its native language.
We also call that 'Arafat English' sometimes...

"I am sinking: Oh my cot his cot a ???!"
run for joe life run
"sets ?????"
"Yeah"

No. A few hints: Dutch can't pronounce the 'th' sound or the 'g' sound, they become 's' and 'k' respectively.

I'm not Germanic either. (though my look really makes me wonder what genes I have in me).

Spoiler :

Hello, how are you doing?
I am fine, thank you

What do you think right now?
I am thinking: Oh my god, he's got a gun
Run for your life!
That's strange
Yeah

Of course, I speak like that myself
