For those of you reading for a while, you know that I have a woman who’s been leaving messages on my voicemail at home. She clearly has the wrong phone number, at least I hope she does, yet she continues to call. I hope its not important, but I can’t really tell. If anyone can decipher / translate the message it would be interesting to know what’s been going on. It’s also ironic to note that the language she speaks seems to be somewhat of a hybrid, as she always ends her calls with, “Okay, bye.” (in English) Here are two messages I’ve received over the past two days.

LOL
it sounds more like an Indian dialect to me.
LOL @ Dave – I almost deleted your first comment thinking it was comment spam!
It sounds more like Persian to me…I should have some of my fellow linguistic geeks have a listen so we can figure it out!
It sounds like Persian or Arabic to me.. definately not Asian.
Nice Blog btw 🙂
My first guess is Russian. Or some eastern European language. Polish?
She is speaking Nigerian and it is a form of slang she is using called high English, a mixture of English and Nigerian. The message was not important just a everyday call. To much to translate.
By the way enjoy your blogs, Thanks.
