I come from a country with 11 official languages. We have "street speak" that includes all 11. Is that what we would term as a dialect? In terms of this comp?

Oh dear, Al, now that is indeed a proper dialect challenge!

Yes, I would class that as a dialect.

Hoesit my bra!

Sunbonani
Ge' kyk net
Lookie, taking a peek
Awe bra
that chick with the lit tit
she made planne with mother
they took steel
to da pad
hit the vibrator
in gears one 2 three
in under 30 secies babe

the hunny was
still adjusting cleavages
the Beemer was past
two red robots
ek se'

Ja ne'
lekker gelag

Den comes Davie
the wheels was smoking
oke
sommer like campfires
wiff green
Nambib hout
chimneys my bra, chimneys

I was rooking Swazi
it made
less smoke dan the Beemer's rings

the ladies was tuning
"Llllaaaadddduuuummmma!"
When the spins
smoked
that one tannie
had huge jugs bra
When she screemed
my eyes was like a popeye
I got excited te veel, bra
dropped my roach
in between that
clevages it burnt
Her G's bra
Then she screemed in tongues
Boet it was mal huise

her Malungu arived
Old tatta
waving fingers

Eish bra, we had to running byes

He was screeming
"Woza Woza"
"I'll drop gold in your teef, wena!"

But the referee saved our gat
He just tuned
"Hey Julle
Tula!"
Everone kakked bricks, bru

Shut up, just laaik that
The Mulungi rinsed her
tiete wiff
da fires extinguishers
Den she foned my vrou, bra
Eish
my vrou!

But now we just be lekker, china

Ke'ela boga baba

half-wastad

Hey ya'll
standing holding a gan
I’m half-wastad
Explain yuself

when yu say half-wastad
yu mean when ya'll
mix moonshine and whiskey

Explain yuself
wha yu mean
when yu say half-wastad
yu mean when pickup trucks
mix in de sky
is a half-wastad
well in dat case
in Alabama honey
I'm nearly always half-wastad
