Would you agree that we have a diffrent type of english, that other english speaking countrys?

Question

Like our own words that you would only hear in belfast or ni?.

A word like Slabberin, also how would you say slabberin to someone that wasnt from Belfast.

Thanks

Answer 1

Gaunching sounds better to me than slabberin.

Answer 2

oh yes lol

being from yorkshire we have our own dialect

i know people will take the mick out of emmerdale and heatbeat but yeah the accent they have on emmerdale is not true most of the actors are from lancashire trying to put on a yorkshire accent,

ee by gum is one, eyup-hi there cant think of any others as you just get used to them but people from other counties will recognise them straight away. more often than not southerners will mistake the yorksire accent from the manchester accent and it is nothing like us at all

ok jabbering on a bit yeah my apologies

Answer 3

Yep, there is a Northern Irish dialect.

Loads of places have their own dialects not just in other English-speaking countries like the USA but also within the UK. For example there are loads of words different between Scouse and Mancunian, and those two cities are less than 40 miles apart.

Answer 4

Of course we do. We say 'Like', 'craic' loads of different things.

However, we are not the only place who does this, think about Newcastle-upon-tyne they say 'canny'; can't think of anymore right now though.

Answer 5

Of course there's a different type of English spoken in NI - large Scottish/Irish/English influence so very different to other parts of UK and Ireland.

Slabberin is easy to say to anyone that wasn't from Belfast. Other parts of NI use the word too.

Seems like you have your very own type of spelling too. Plural of country is countries.

Answer 6

in scotland we use slabbering, if you mean it as drooling? or is it something completely different :p

anyway yeahh sometimes i've heard people from parts of northern ireland and got pretty confused :p but mainly cause of accents and things.

every regions got different things they say. like in glasgow, 'im gonnae get pure wide to you ' means something, but say it in england and people get confused :p
