NEW as of 05/09/06:
Warro, I thaught you were gonna put my south staffordshire england
diallect stuff on, I've re written the guide,
i thaught you were gonna mension it as an old world influence to aussy
on the aussy pages? (Here it is. *S*)


warro aer kid,
owsi gooin me ole shoe, yo aurite

arr spayke a local diallect we call
"black country" or just a "cannock dialect"
people like me who talk like thisr'called
yam yams, block countraye folk, yammies warrever

I dunno if you've ever heard of it, but its one of the only remaining natural
old style diallects in the country,still standing and frozen in time.

its a diallect that we've preserved for hundreds of years, its nothing to do
with blacks it refers o the miners and the hard times living in total
blackness from the smoke of the factory. some say it came about as a
result of trying to talk under sound of the ommer(hammer) some say its a
throw back to old english,

the basic idea behind is, we have our own words like
dayna-did'nt want to
downa= don't want to
day=did'nt
dow=don't
aye=ain't
taye=it aint
alot of the words get changed ie Jesus becomes
Jaysus

the words change example say while becomes wyule
toy tiye
bird berde
mate mert
crocodile crocoduiyle
baby babbie
kid nipper
woman wench
man bloawke
yes arrr
I is also arrr

you can say "arrr do arrr" for " I do yes"
arrr willarrrr "I will yes"
"dow ya wanna cum" "don't you want to come"
