if you are english, and you hear ghetto english, like i guess its called "cockney" or whatever, can you understand it? |
||||||||

"sup dawg" (ghetto english) in regular english means, "gescom hat " |

yes. cockney isn't ghetto. cockney's just a regional accent. ghetto accents are usually a heavy blend of slang and a jamacian accent, with its own regional twang. |

Typical features of Cockney speech include: * Intrusive 'R' before a vowel, hence 'Americer is' for 'America is' * dropped H, as in not 'alf pronounced [aːf], ("not half") * use of ain't instead of isn't, am not, are not, has not, and have not * merger of /θ/-zd- with /f/, and [ð]-d- with /v/, hence [mæfs] for ‘maths’, [bɒvə] for 'bother'. * monophthongisation of /aʊ/ to [æː], hence [dæːn] for ‘down’ * use of a glottal stop for intervocalic 't', as in bottle or butter (but not when it precedes the stress, as in deter); it can also occur between other sonorants, as in mental or in Feltham (the h of which is silent even in RP) * use of a labiodental approximant [ʋ] for /r/, in contrast to an alveolar approximant [ɹ] in RP. To speakers who are not used to [ʋ], this can sound like a /w/. * vocalisation of dark l, hence mɪowɔː for ‘Millwall’. Example: [ˈfɔːʔi ˈfæːzənʔ ˈfɹʌʃɪz ˈfluːˌəʊvə ˈfɔːnʔənˌiːf] for Forty thousand thrushes flew over Thornton Heath |

cockney rhyming slang is quite possibly the best anything ever |

I love accents. "Really, really, really posh girl" and "old cockney jewboy" are my favouries. |
