    Southern California English. I never realized how often I used “dude”, “man”, and “like” until I spent a few years in the Midwest. Also “rad”.

    I can understand some parts of Akrikaans. It sounds Dutch but our words are a little different here and there.

    Oh and lets not forget Belgian. The north part is Dutch speaking (flamish), but I think they tend to mix less French and English words into the language.

    German is spoken in different versions by Germans, Austrians, Swiss, Luxembourgers and that one Belgian.

    I speak the correct version.

    Native English (US), learned the vaguely-Latino-Americano Spanish. That lasted until I went to Spain for a few months, now I have a strange amalgamation of Latino/Spanglish vocabulary with an Andaluz-ish accent.

    Philadelphia English

    I root for the iggles, phils, flyers, and sixers. I eat beggles with cream cheese, and in the summer I’ll get some wooder ice. I go fishing in the crick. If I fall in I’ll dry myself off with a tal, and maybe I’ll hang it on the ratty-ator to dry afterwards. I’ll warsh the mud off my boots at the spicket outside. On vacation I’ll go down the shore. If I need cash I’ll tap mac, perhaps so I can order a cheesesteak (wiz wit) or hoagie. Maybe I’ll see if my friends want to join me, and I’ll ask them "jeet? And they’ll answer “no, jew?” And at the end of the night, after a few citywides, I’ll tell them “I’ll see youse guys later”

    You can also replace most of those nouns with “jawn”

    Be a rebel - learn Catalan and just try and speak it to French and Spanish speakers. The world needs more fluent Catalan speakers!

    In English, I speak a kind of wild mix of British English and American English. Like my pronunciation is probably closer to British but I’ll also use some American terms, like “sidewalk” instead of “pavement”. I guess it could be considered a variety of Euro English.

    I speak standard (German) German, with a slight dialect of my region.
