 English is spoken in South Africa, but that doesn't mean you can always understand it So when you see chatter about boerwors, braai's, biltong and slaaping lekker this link might help my chommies in the Boma understand better __________________

Gerda, as far as I understood blikskottel is a person what does make noise for nothing. Like someone drumming a tin can , while running around the Christmas tree. Very freely translated. Correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks, Sparrow. I think I know the long a sound you're trying to describe and it is something like a the word sleep? Or maybe the word Bayou? __________________

Is slap pronounced differently from slaap? Are the two aa's together a longer a sound (a as in ache)? Yes SD, that's right: two aa's together make a longer sound... but... not pronounced like in ache...
somewhat confusing eh :roll: I'll try to explain: *one a as in slap is pronounced like the a in art *two aa's as in slaap sounds like.... eh... as in... eh... :shock: I can't find any English word...

except for the odd word which i am told has a 'twang' to it.
I'll check with some friends about it... so you'll have to wait a little longer for further explanation if that's okay by you...
