Have any of you ever had different dialects adopted into your own?

I've started noticing how often I've been saying "mang" recently.
Other words like "mate" or "comrade" have been introduced into my regular vocabulary somehow, too. I've also noticed that after studying Japanese for a year I've involuntarily been mixing an L sound in with my R's.
Odd, mang. Share your own personal experiences.

I say 'fudgesicle' instead of the other, worse word that is generally censored that begins with the same letter. In fact, I don't think I've said the other word at ALL since I've adapted this. xD
I'm sure there are others that I'm forgetting as well.

My language dialect is kind of screwed up.
It's like a mix of British, American, and Canadian.
But that's because I go to an International School, with lots of Canadians and Australians. And our Head of Secondary is Scottish. xD
I find myself saying "bloody" and "eh" alot. And sometimes, "no" or "yes" at the end of a sentence.

I've studied Japanese about 4 years and I do the same. Weird, isn't it?Valigarmander wrote:I've started noticing how often I've been saying "mang" recently.

Not really. The Southeast Wisconsin dialect suits me right down to the ground--and anyway, I don't really hear many screwball bits of dialect, aside from when my Iowagian cousins are in town and one of them says something about 'drinking fountains' or 'bottles of pop'. Weird kids.
As far as accent goes...well, I didn't know I had one until everyone and his grandmother started guessing I was from Ireland/the South/Canada/Boston/who knows where the hell all else.

I've picked up some Southwestern accents from driving around everywhere (think 50% southern, 50% no accent) but I don't use it unless I wanna be weird.

I usually say 'drinking fountains', but 'bubbler' is extremely fun to say.Booyakasha wrote:Not really.
