Language geek - Take 1

I've wanted to post more dialect for some time and last night I had a little chat about accents with [livejournal.com profile] kiviraat on Twitter and thought I could post little audio files of me talking in Italian and dialect, just to show the difference. And while I was at it, I recorded the same sentence in English and German as well, just because. I chose the sentence "Today I went to the baker's and bought two rolls" because [livejournal.com profile] killer_ameise once said something about it being a sentence that reveals a lot about your origins. Sorry, I don't remember why, was it because there are a lot of different ways to say bread/rolls, depending on where you come from?

Anyway, here they are. The volume is quite low, I hope you can hear something. If not, let me know and I'll record them again.


Italiano: "Oggi sono andata dal panettiere e ho comprato due panini."

Brianzöo: "Incöo sunt andada dal prestinée a tö dü michett."

English: "Today I went to the baker's and bought two rolls."

Deutsch: "Heute bin ich zum Bäcker gegangen und hab zwei Schrippen gekauft."


Is it just me or does my voice sound different when I speak in different languages? o_O
