Offshot of the "Patois" thread

[britisha]

So as not to derail IronMan's thread..mi bring dis ovah yahsoh.


George Bernard Shaw observed that<span style="font-weight: bold"> &quot;America and England are two nations divided by a common language.&quot;</span> This is never more apparent than when Cockney rhyming slang is spoken. It originated in London, but is spoken all over Great Britain. It is baffling for the first-time listener. Once you pick up the pattern of it, then it's all &quot;lemon squeezy&quot; (easy).

Any thought on this?

Well, it is amusing to hear some Americans say that &quot;Jamaican Creole&quot; is not a language, while the British have clearly stated that &quot;American&quot; is not &quot;English&quot; either.
