Ching chong

[Malcolm]

[[b]Icelandic: Norwegian words with an -ur: Heiur, erur du herur i dagur? ~ Hei, er du her i dag?

I do the same here with my french friends. Using French though, not Norwegian
heyrðu, on va à la piscinur cet après-midur?

Finnish like Tostoia toiva tolla kaala

[Oleksij]

Just remembered that we referred colloquially to the local chinese restaurant as "Hoo Flung Dung" (Who flung dung?)

But we didn't mean it negatively, it was a gorgeous takeaway

Reminds me of those Chinese colloquial 'phrasebooks':

'There's a problem' - 'Sum Ting Wong' etc.

[NulNuk]

Ching chong is a card game, I thongh you wanted to play over net.:0o

A common one in Haitian Creole: tilitili for French...it pokes fun at the 'peculiar' French u's and their 'overly' emphasized t's and l's. BTW, to fè tilitili means to pretend to speak French - literally, 'do tilitili'.

In English, Spanish is often mimicked with an ay ay ay, arriba, adding o's onto English words and saying random Mexican dishes (usually quesadilla, taco, burrito in some random order).

Oh, we mock Spanish by adding S to any Italian word, and maybe if we go more sophisticated adding -iento

"Dzsollottoláréééé" That can also be Italian here

We 'mock' Italian by adding o's and a's on the ends of words too...You might ask how we differentiate between Spanish and Italian : Italian's cadence, which we also imitate, makes it pretty clear which is which. Oh yeah...we also punctuate everything with a 'mamma mia', 'pizza pie-a' or a 'ciao bello'.

Can't blame you really I think I still sound a bit like that sometimes

[Nukalurk]

Here, Italian is usually envisioned with looots of "i"s.

[sa wulfs]

Same here. We'd replace our -s plurals with -i, and use some strategically placed Italian words, like bambino, questo and ciao. Coupled with odd intonation and hand gestures, of course.

[lishaoxuan]

I've heard people mocking Korean by uttering some random sound and then adding the "-simnida".

And Japanese, adding "-masu".

here's the way I've heard imitations around my area, may have already been listed

spanish - a few different things apply here since it's so common
one is something like 'abupupupup' like they're running their mouth a million miles an hour
another one is to say every other word starting with 'el' and ending with '-o' (for example "I went for a ride-o in el carro to el store-o for some food-o")

french - basically a really nasal accent and a lot of obnoxious laughter like "hon hon hon"

italian - very accentuated speech, kind of like the spanish where everything ends in -o but with accents and hand gestures... kind of like mario's famous phrase at the beginning of mario64 "It's-A mE, mArio"

russian/polish - pretty much every word ending in 'ski'

german - basically just a lot of gutteral sounds and imitations of nazis and whatnot

swedish - a lot of /y/ sounds and a lot of /v/ sounds, and kind of a jumping way of speaking

japanese - not so much a modification of a way of pronouncing words, but a lot of people think they're cute and imitate the offset of the pronunciations in old dubbed anime movies so that they'll say some really short phrase while moving their mouths oddly, then keep moving their mouths for a little while afterwards

chinese - there is the ching-chong-ping-pong thing, but then there is also the whole 'confucius say' thing as well as the whole random gasping thing that somebody mentioned earlier

[ILuvEire]

Vietnamese: Nasal with the hỏi (hook accent) on everything. Well, pretty much like this.

[Mongol]

During the fighting between Russia and Georgia, people listening to the Abkhazian language noticed that the Abkhazians were using all kinds of strange buzzing noises,
but Caucasian languages are just about the weirdest sounding languages in existence, but so fascinating.

[Boes]

"Ching chong" is the typical racist imitation of what all Asian languages sound like (at least amongst English speakers). How do people imitate other languages in your country?

It might be something cultural, but why is that racist?

Anyway;

Some Dutch language jokes close to this topic ...

What's the Greek word for incest? Papalamepiemellos (Dutch:'daddy let my penis go')
What's the French word for vibrator? Pic d'electric (Dutch: 'electric dick')
What's the Spanish word for fingering? Porre va vore (Dutch: poking at the front)
What's the Swedish word for a blow job? Lullensmullen (Dutch: dick feasting)
What's the Danish word for group sex? Helemeuteneuke(Dutch: fucking a crowd)
What's the Finnish word for cunnilingus? Clitte licke(Dutch: clit licking)
What's the Russian word for a string? Ziepoesnetnie(Dutch: almost see pussy)

Here is Shrek in Abkhaz. To me it sounds ANGRY, very close to Klingon.

[ILuvEire]

This reminds me of a joke:

"I can speak four languages!
Really? Prove it.
Okay. French: [bõnõbõhõ] English: [wɑsːɔsːəsː] Swahili: [ǂ!ǂ!] Dutch: [gæxːkæx]"

I find it so funny, because Swahili has no clicks and Dutch has no /g/.

I believe it's mainly due to the speaker.
