South Philly is known for a lot of things but the local Philly Tawk dialect is perfected in Marconi, Whitman, Packer Park, and the rest of South Philly. The language is as entertaining as it is a true art form.
Here is a sentence in regular language:
"Wherever you live in South Philadelphia, you must speak the native language."
Here is the same sentence is South Philly Tawk:
"Wheah-evah you live in Sout-Philly. Ya-ga-da speak da nadive tung."
Here is a challenge for you. Can you translate this conversation?
Any-ding youse want, youse ga-dit. Fa-getaboudit. J-eet? Has-a-bat some bref-fist? Yaint hungry? What? Dacatgotchatongue? Wadya tink?
