Birmingham Language?

[THT]

Black Country?

Racist

 

[G|mp]

Don't forget "Oh, ah". If I had a quid for every time I've heard that, I'd be a rich man!

Translation

Yes, that is correct, I have just realised

 

[merlin]

Black Country?

The strip from Northwest to Southwest of Birmingham historically heavily industrial & mining - lots of smoke hence Black Country.

I text a Geordie a lot of the time. and after every sentence she adds 'like'

e.g. I am going out tonight like

I can only text her for a short while before I get frustrated.

I know quite a lot of people that actually talk like that
and it does get quite fraustrating.

 

[Sankari]

Oh, ah.

 

[Dark_Angel]

I text a Geordie a lot of the time. and after every sentence she adds 'like'

e.g. I am going out tonight like

I can only text her for a short while before I get frustrated.

Text back with a "like what?" and then when she replies back ask her "like what" once again, each time the person uses like make them explain the situation or what it is "like".

Oh ar, just gewin to hav sum werta. I love it if you are talking to another local, but no one else understands

 

[starfighter]

I have to laugh at people that think they are great because they can speak correctly. you will find that most people do know the correct way and simply choose to speak like this.

If everyone stuck to the official way we would be still speaking ye olde english.

I prefer to improve it.

 

[gillywibble]

The same goes for Birmingham too.

We're practically posh

 

[Nanoman]

Coventry ain't posh

 

[dun]

We're practically posh

I read that as Polish, which isn't far from the truth..

 

[gillywibble]

I read that as Polish, which isn't far from the truth..

Nah, we won't take your jobs

"Am 29 wrong for me to date a 19 year old ?"

 

[Shikkaka]

"Am 29 wrong for me to date a 19 year old ?"

Exactely what got me thinking about it.

 

[Raikiri]

A common misconception.

I lead with my left and strike with my right.

 

[p4radox]

"Am 29 wrong for me to date a 19 year old ?"

But surely that just means "I am 29, is it wrong for me to date a 19 year old?"

The OP says that Brummies replace "are" with "am"...

 

[tuckenator]

Oh Capital a fellow Silhillian, how do my fine chap?

 

[Nanoman]

Greetings good sir.

Did one go to Solihull School?! I was more Tudor Grange scum in comparison unfortunately.

 

[Amp34]

My friend is from around there and although she occasionally talks like that as a joke she talks normally, from what I understand it's the "riff raff" that talk like that, not the normal people?

I guess it's a bit like "where you too?" in the south west, where am I too what?

 

[Skeptic]

They's me daps mind. Where be tha' bla'bird be? Spending 18 years in Dudley and then 3 in Bristol has turned my accent a bit funny.
