Prompt: Write about whatever you’d like, but write using regional slang, your dialect, or in your accent.
Ag, you know, I sent the WordPress Prompt blokes a suggestion. The suggestion was “Write a post phonetically.” So check what they did, they went and told everyone to write local. But you know, I see they used their kop, cos the way I see it, after reflecting big time, the other blogging okes wont know how or what I saying. I mean, when I saw the prompt only one word came into my head “Jislaaik!” It’s like they sommer went and took my suggestion and twisted it into a blerrie koeksister.
Ja, but I’ll tell you what. It prolly didn’t even happen that way. I swear, they didn’t even look at my idea. But, its laaik I said, I’m a touchy bird. Ag shame man, I feel bad now, cos I skinnered about them. Tomorrow I’ll be feeling all bakgat again. Still, it makes you think, doesn’t it, hey my china?
*hugs*
Not all South Africans speak this way. There are many accents. This is the one closest to me. More the “Jo Burg joller'”or as they say lately “Jozi”
