Kalabaw Languages

Day 7: Different Sounds That Lettets Make In English (Based Off Of A Texan's Perspective).

Accents: Place a HUGE barrier among people who speak English. Even if a person pronounces a word differently, that does not mean they're wrong! However, these accents do not prevent the wide variety of english speakers from communicating unlike in the Philippines where the 'Language' is Tagalog (Filipino) and other 100+ languages are considered 'Dialects' 

Here's the letter "A" for example.

Apple - "Ah"
Angel - "Ay"
Another - "Uh"
Aeroplane - "Eh"

  Each day I will post a word in either Tagalog/Ilokano/Itneg/Spanish/or English. Tune in daily to learn something new!

*Some of you may or may not have noticed but the title of these post have a varied. The tag I will be placing on this series of post will be 'Carabao Languages'.

Nuang - Ilocano/Ilokano/Itneg
Kalabaw - Tagalog
Carabao - Spanish/English

(Fun fact: Carabao is a Spanish word!)

I chose 'Carabao Languages' as the title becaue in the Philippines people say "Carabao English" to describe that they speak Broken English. So, by translating Carabao into Ilokano/Itneg/Tagalog/Spanish/and English it makes these lessons less intimidating.
