It sounds like a mix of Jamaican patois with Cockney.
Cockney and Jamaican patois are legitimate dialects for England - Cockney has existed for centuries, and the general West Indian patois has come from migrants whose stocka are now third generation British. My dialect, (as I am Geordie, but of Irish and Jewish stock) is prfmarily geordie with the addition of a few Yiddish-isms - do you get my idea already!
Chavspeak is pure fluff. It is frequently incomprehensible and is used by some of the lowest elements in society. I work in the English Criminal Court system in NE Essex, and the bulk of our defendants on crimes such as harassment and battery are well versed in this verbal abomination. Unfortunately, youth seems to be acquiring this argot. I do tell them that the purpose of speech is to enable communication, but I might as well talk to the courthouse wall.

I can honestly say that I think chav is quite normal, you only have to listen to people born and raised in Nottingham, now theres a strange language, I lived among Nottingham people for a few months and never did fully understand some of the lingo. Things like "evyamashed", that was supposed to mean "have you made a pot of tea" . There were so many strange sayings I found a new job and moved away. lol

They actually think it is both big and indeed clever to talk like this. It is fashionable and amongst their peers the most socially acceptable way of talking.
You are right though - they do sound like morons to me too.

It derives from Caribbean patois English. When now spoken by these individuals, is known as twatois.

Accents and slag are constantly changing and being reinvented. I think its a good thing, its always nice to hear a new word even if it was just made up by a 14 year old.

I think you are describing the cultured part Asian, part Jamaican, part Cockney accent which has been formed due to mass immigration over the years. That kind of talk irritates me aswell.

och, Graham, they think it sounds cool, not ridiculous. I think Jamie effing Oliver tries to do it, and he has a middle class background. It is black gang culture speak is it not - or as I should say innit?
