[Q & A] Grunt speak?

[arial_destiny]

In the scanlations I hear people say Sweden's accent is translated into 'grunt speak.' What exactly is grunt speak? The translations seem like gangster speech mixed with a Texas accent...

So, does grunt speak = gangster speech? o_o

I think they mean it like the sound of grunting. Real brash, forward... Berwald kind of seems like he would answer by grunting or making some weird guttural sound for a confirmation.

"You want breakfast?"
"Rmmm."

Think... Your gandpa, or any seemingly grumpy old dude.

He leaves out a lot of vowels, so generally people type an apostrophe where the vowels would be. He also replies with kinda like, "mm", "nn," those kind of affirmative/negative noises. ... if you know what I mean? o_o;;
