An Example of Strine

[longlongwaytogo]

"Eiche nardly bleevit." I can hardly believe it
"Jareedna piper wairtsed abat the bushfires?" Did you read in the paper what it said about the bushfires?
"Yagunna goda Mairlben freester?" Are you going to Melbourne for Easter?

okay. i'll admit it. i'm a total nerd. where can i find more written examples of strine? i love that. LOL!!

being a northern californian, i have no accent and no language abilities, so i can't say any of it. i just think it looks like secret code all spelled out like that. =cD

so does 'strine vary from region to region? is there more to be poked at than just that one interpretation of the spelling? or should i just go back to lurkerdom and shush? 0=c>

of course there are. Although don't believe any who says Queenslanders talk slow, because they don't.

:D

This is a very strong accent version. ... sort of. I mean, sometimes even in my speech, I'd run it together like the third version.

I'm from Adelaide and I only learned this existed through this post and others like it =P
