Broad Glaswgian, for instance, is fairly<BR/>horrendous! I don't know if Rab C Nesbit ever got shown in the US, but after half an hour of that variant my ears simply gave up!<BR/>Jen<BR/>Jen Black<BR/>http://members.lycos.co.uk/jenblackAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28436164.post-13645550046533504682007-03-12T00:02:00.000+07:002007-03-12T00:02:00.000+07:00LOL, the 18 month old is now 26 years old.

We managed to make it through her 'alien' language stint until she entered her teens :D but once she got through <I>that</I>, we've been able to understand her and vice versa.Lynda K.

In fact, in one scene I have the heroine actually cringing over something that looks like green sauced "sketty".<BR/><BR/>When I create new words that are from another cultures vernacular, I try to make it easy to say (as if Vahezheno is easy!). And usually my words come from a combination of the words that make it and also the way it would taste (as in pouli or tropi).<BR/><BR/>Keep up the great work, and good luck with deciphering the 18 month olds' language.Skylar Maseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09940870700805648514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28436164.post-45974631105918326582007-03-08T00:58:00.000+07:002007-03-08T00:58:00.000+07:00There's some great advice here.
