Dear Ron,

I was thrilled to read that you also mention South African English in the 
list. It wasn't clear to me: do you need a few lines 'translated' into SA 
English?

I intend to write my doctoral thesis on this subject. First I will go to 
Port Elizabeth, South Africa, from July to November, to collect data on 
local English accents. It will be a lot of fun.

Best regards,

Marcel.

So, how about some more efforts here, kiddos?  Welsh English?  Irish
English?  New Zealand English?  South African English?

Hi, Marcel!

*Any* language variety is more than welcome, even several translations into 
and sound recordings in the same variety.   I've been on people's case about 
South African, Irish and New Zealand English (among other things) for quite 
some time, and I have discussed aspects of SA English before.

The story ought to be retranslated into authentic language, and a recording 
ought to be added if possible.

Good luck with the dissertation and field work!  Make sure you take a 
digital recorder with you.  They are excellent and no longer expensive.

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
