I think I use a mixture of Estuary English and Received Pronunciation. My mum had elocution lessons as a child so speaks in Received Pronunciation whereas my dad has a broad Estuary English dialect. I think I sit in the middle, probably leaning more towards Estuary English

My parents went to Fredericton, NB and said everyone says eh at the end of each sentence.

Well Frederction is special to begin with:ninja.

My mom and dad both have accents.. I just don't' have one.. but if I am around someone with a heavy accent for a bit.. I end up picking it up and talking like that while I am with them.

Most of Ireland speak English as a first language but our native language is Irish (Gaeilge)

Dia dhuit

(pronounced dee-a gwit) is how you'd greet someone in Irish

My first language is English and I grew up knowing only bits and pieces of my native language, which is Plaut Deutsch (Low German...a German/Dutch dialect). It's not really a written language and I don't know how to spell half the stuff so I'm not even going to attempt to post a greeting. Maybe Guyzerr wants to. He knows more than I do. :D

I know a bit of Low German. Trouble with German is there are so many dialects that even Germans have trouble understanding each other.

Gutten morgan (Spelling ain't right, I know). Good morning! :)

I speak English and know a VERY small amount of Spanish... typical greeting from me is "what's up?"

I don't expect you to, I know you know more than me. :p I never kept up with the language growing up so I only know a few phrases here and there. :ninja

Yup, that works. :thumbup I believe another one would be "Gundach". Very informal...sort of the equivalent of saying "G'day!" to a buddy. :)
