The Deucadon Dialect - Part 1

Yesterday, I gave you the rationale behind constructing the Deucadon dialect. I had to make it foreign enough to be convincing as a true dialect but not too annoying that you wouldn't want to read it.

To review, the Deucadons drop their g's, say ya and naw. They also have a few words which don't have direct English equivalents.

Here is our first exposure to the Deucadon's way of speech from the middle of Part 2 of Rome's Revolution:

     Rei awakened on the floor of a cave in the pitch black. He could not see anything. Even one day ago, this might have bothered him. But now, with his enhanced hearing, he just used the rustling of his clothes as he moved around to map his cell. The small cave was roughly semi-spherical with a diameter of not much more than three or four meters. The roof seemed unnaturally smooth so Rei assumed it was man-made.
     He sat up. Every part of his body ached. He had absolutely no idea what they hit him with but whatever it was, his skin was tingly and he felt pins and needles all over. If he didn’t know any better, he would have sworn it was a plain old electrical shock.
     His sonar vision told him that the cave or whatever it was, was blocked off with by plates of cross-hatched strips of cane-bark. In between the strips was enough spaces that sounds from the outside came in but he could tell that it was substantial enough that he could not break out.
     “Enough foolin’ around. Ya know we have to kill him,” said one voice. Rei was stunned that they were speaking in English but their accent was skewed. Their dialect sounded almost like a mix of Brooklyn and Britain.
     “He’s Vuduri and now they’ll know where we are,” said another.
     “He’s nawt Vuduri. He’s too flaggin’ tall,” said a third.
     “But look how he’s dressed. And he spoke to us in Vuduri. Naw, he’s Vuduri,” said the second voice.
     “It does nawt matter,” said the first. “We kill him and we vacate the area. If we leave now, there would be naw way to trace it back. We cannawt have them around here. Where one is, ya know there are others. They always travel in packs.”
     “How did he find us, anyway?” asked the second voice.

Odd? Too odd? Hopefully not. Tomorrow, the second half of that first conversation.
