WI British were uh uniyted lanwedge liek wi' Skandinavyun?
Wot ah mean is, WI: insteed o' Northumbrian, Highlund, Irish, Anglian en Wesks weh insteed had won official Jermanic lingo ahn de isles?
Ah naa wi' me Northumbrian that sumtimes de southnas divint naa wot ahm on aboot eeven wen ahm writein (let alaan spekken) but cud uh geet big uniyted system liek de Skandi's actyually werk wi' us?
Whey wuv kinda got yun. Aah meen ivry'yun can undastand 'standad inglish', an murst folk can speak it weel enuf when required. (Aah divint mean geet posh liek, but undastandable, cos wa can adjust the way wa taak). Sur aa'd say thet it exists alang side aal the difrint accents an di'lecks thet wis aal taak wi'. Aalthur it's probly not the best way aroond things, wi it bee'in an invented lenguiche leik Esperantur. Canny in prinsipil leik, but notsee gud when ye actchally try an get folk te taak the thing! But aah suppurs worram getten at is thet the lenguiches are klursely relyatid, sur it dusunt tyek aal thet much tiv myek yasel undastud te sum degree. Aah mean, if aah gan tiv a gaafe te wotch a fillum thets bin myed in Lundun, aah can justaboot folla whaat the'ore taakin aboot, althur aah hev te say aahm gladiv them subtitles!
But ye knaa then agyen, it can be tricky. Ye, buggar, aah fyind it hord tiv undastand whaat yeez lot ower the waata in Coonty Durum ore yun aboot haaf the time! An as for them Mackem buggas doon in Sunlun - them lot soond geet wierd wi' aal thet
"wheeyz keeyz are theeyz" nonesense! The' cannat pronoonce the' 'ee' soonds them lot!
Aah wudna iv thowt thet wi' the myek up of the British folk that wa'd iv getten a standad lenguiche sperken nat'raly biv ivry'yun, simply becoz wa've cum frae aal ower the plyes. Ye knaa, coz doon Lundun, the'ore Sacksuns. Us lot's a mix iv Kelts an' Anguls an Skandinavyun. Kelts up in Scotlund, an' ower in Irelund. Diffrint lotta Kelts in Wales an doon in Kornwaal. Aah divin knaa, wussaraal frae diffrint backgroonds an diffrint mixes iv backgroond furitaal tiv wark es a nat'rul lenguiche. Sur aah warrand thet wussul just hev te keep on eithor lornin each othas lenguiche prop'ly or else just crack on getten biv the way wuh hev dun sur far.
