The Andalucian Dialect
 

Andalucía has no more reason to feel left out. Here's an introduction from the 'Sociedad Para el Estudio del Andaluz', or rather,
Zoziedá pal Ehtudio'el Andalú :

Phew, all those "Z"s:eek: Had to read it aloud to get the gist of it, thought it was basque at first glance!

Re: The Andalucian Dialect
 

Wow, difficult to read at first,I needed to go over it a couple of times, very amusing post.:rofl:

Re: The Andalucian Dialect
 

Even more difficult to read than to listen to! :ohmy::D

Re: The Andalucian Dialect
 

If it were in Basque the likelihood is that you'd recognise absolutely nothing!!

"Euskeraz esan baginun ezer ez zinun aitzuko!!" which is the translation of the above in Basque.

eskerrik asko (thank you!)

Re: The Andalucian Dialect
 

I recognise the word asko, but you have spelt it wrong.:rofl:;):rofl:

Re: The Andalucian Dialect
 

you had me running to the Basque dictionary to double check!! No bad thing.

I'm sorry, but it does say "asko" & not azko which you may have thought. In fact azko doesn't exist in Basque, at least not in the dictionary!

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

Sorry it was a joke of mine.

I dont know the first thing about the Basque language, but ASCO means dirty,disgusting, disgust etc. in Spanish.

Cheers JL

Re: The Andalucian Dialect
 

No problem. Yes, asco tends to be heard a lot here, such as "que asco". Such as when I've explained about problems lambing ewes for instance!
Basque is pretty difficult, to say the least; they reckon that it's possibly the original Iberian language spoken in this area, Cantabria & what is now Gascony.
The only word Basque has given other languages is "bizarra" (bizarre)which means beard, & presumably at a time when beards were weird!

Franco forbade them to speak it, which still rankles among some people. Hence their suspicion of PP, etc.
My wife, as a 5 year old was told by a nun in school to "speak Christian" (ie Spanish)!

I say dammit, I thought everyone knew that god was english?

Re: The Andalucian Dialect
 

yes he was !!

Re: The Andalucian Dialect
 

What do you mean WAS?!!!
I guess we ought to give Him/Her his respect & spell the name with a Capital letter!

Re: The Andalucian Dialect
 

I dont understand Why british people are so disrespectful sometimes... What about the ridiculous scotish accent in the north of UK?? Its better that andalusian dialect?? Please... If you dont like Spain, or our culture... Just move on..

Re: The Andalucian Dialect
