Can the English language be mocked?

Question

For example, people who don't speak Spanish can mock it, by speaking something that sounds Spanish, or someone can mock Chinesse by going "ching chang chong ching". In any case, most people are gonna know what language you are mocking. Can the same be done for English? Or is English just a neutral language?

Answer 1

Yes it can - but *how* depends entirely on the language the people are *actually* speaking when mocking English - Spanish people would do it differently than Chinese. And the result wouldn't sound much like English to anyone who actually speaks it - just as "ching chang chong ching" wouldn't sound at all like Chinese to actual Chinese speakers.

Answer 2

Yes, I have heard it mocked. I have relatives in South America, and, just like Chinese sounds like "ching chong chang ching" to many English-speakers ears, to many Spanish-speakers English sounds something like:
"waysh wish woish wush"

Answer 3

I've actually heard a group of Russian girls do this - it sounded like gibberish with a Valley Girl lilt and an occasional 'Ohmigawd!' thrown in for good measure.

That was about ten years ago, though; I wonder if Baywatch is still the ordinary perspective of the foreigner about the US.

Oh, yes, I think any language can be 'mocked'. My staff does it now and then when they are annoyed at me because I am annoyed at them and speak in English... sounds fun!

Answer 7

you can "chew"/"chewinggum" sounds so they sound like southern american, as it's spoken in texas or louisiana. that's for mocking the american language.
as for the british accent, i think it's kind of harder to mock it, although when you think of the BBC accent, perhaps there is some possibility to mock it too.
