With Germanic origins, contrary to popular opinion.

Classic case in an Aust Family Court dispute in FNQ where the "defendant" was self-represented and it was part of his vocabulary. The opposing party's solicitor made numerous objections to his "normal" method of speech, more to make the defendant appear to more unsuited to the proceedings. The magistrate and the solicitor had had a few run-ins over the years so the solicitor was not a favourite of his.

Also, the magistrate was very learned in the English language. In the end, he pulled the solictor up on his objections as the word rhyming with truck was an "English" word which may have lost common usage in the 15th Century but did get a revival for some reason in the 20th Century. One more objection and I will throw the case out.

I was in the top of Scotland many years ago. Had a drink or 3 in the pub we were staying at. Had no problem understanding the way they spoke the 'Anglesh.'

Weeks later in North Queensferry (just across the Firth of the Forth from Edinburough) and I had many troubles trying to understand the "Keng's Anglesh" as spoken.frustrated dunno help
