May a suggest the tag #linguistics?

Language Log did a post about this film some time ago. Be sure to check out that "British Movie" link. http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=3514

As eb, I too speak english as a second language. So, yeah, thenewgreen, that sounds like english to me, probably because of the rhythm and the sounds they use.

Thanks for the testament. Now we just need to make one of these for Portuguese.
