Why You Can't Imitate The Welsh

<<< Previous Entry: Pastor Kids That Go Wrong | This Month's entries | Next Entry: Photo Gallery Made Easy >>

Why is it that whenever you try to put on a welsh accent you end up sounding like you're doing a really bad impersonation of someone from Pakistan? If you don't believe this to be so try the following; think of the most Welsh sounding man you know (it works better if it's a man) and read aloud the next three sentences (the louder the better it seems to work).

Hello, my name is dafydd and I come from the valleys. My father used to work down the coal mine before it was closed. Now he owns an indian takeaway called the Good Korma.

Now look round and wave politely at all the people staring at you. The phrase "I'm just rehearsing for the Christmas pantomine in which I play a second generation Pakistan-Welsh curry shop owner" may come in handy, although then again you may just want to use the standard catch-all phrase for whenever you do something moronic; 'Sorry, I'm Welsh'.

Dude, I know what you sound like when you try and do Roger's accent.

I read somewhere that Indian people sound welsh cos the first english speakers over there were welsh missionaries who taught them english, and as such the accent has carried through from generationn to generation. NOn idea if its true though.
