I've wanted to post more dialect for some time and last night I had a little chat about accents with 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 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

Hee hee. I might try this later :3 My German has went down the pan this year but I'll give it a go XD

I don't think saying that line will bring out my Ayrshire accent though. I'll think of another sentence :)

Your voice does sound a bit different. xD I think it's cute. And that's a really fine idea! :D
And Italian and Brianzöo sound way different! xD
And I guess the part about origins is right, 'cause I'd say "... und hab zwei Brötchen gekauft." Heh. Or when I wanted to annoy people maybe I'd say "... und hab zwei Wecken gekauft." xD

If I could record something I'd totally say that sentence in Norwegian and Finnish... just to show off! :D

Lol, the bread/roll debate rages hard in the UK.

Your voice does sound a little different. I think your natural one sounds a bit sharper, if that's the right word?

I think it would be very difficult for me to sit and record something that sounds like my actual speaking voice because it would be a one-sided conversation. It would sound nothing like how I actually speak to friends/shop keepers/bus drivers/the general public. It would be the same as speaking in Scots; I'm terrible at reading it, so if I was to try it would sound nothing like actually speaking it naturally. Difficult to put the actual accents in and make it sound correct.

What the h is Brianzöo? Where do they speak that? It looks like Latin and and Italian and Moonspeak had a baby.
