speak a strange dialect, incomprehensible even to the other villages
I was meeting my wife for dinner and arrived before her so I went to the bar where I ran into a bunch of Scots I knew in the oil and gas game. So I am standing there talking with them when my wife shows up. When we got the table my wife asks, "what language were those guys they speaking?" When I said English she looked at me like a cow looking at a new gate.

Funny. I’ve had Singaporeans translate Australian for me. Not fun.

"When I said English she looked at me like a cow looking at a new gate. "

Spent my early youth on a dairy farm....never heard that one.

Same thing happened to me on a train in France. A guy said something, and I told him, “Sorry, don’t speak German”. He said, “ahm spikkin English ya blewdy bahstahd.” ONce I realized he was scottish, I could understand him.
