I’m from Merlin. We have a special way of speaking here. The Merlin Dialect is spoken by the people long the western margin of the Chesapeake Bay, roughly bounded by a line starting at Towson, west to Frederick, then following the string of McDonalds along Route 50 to the Bay. These are the Lands of Merlin. They are divided into fiefdoms called Cannies (Anna Runnel Canny, Ballmer Canny, etc.). The dialect area is centered on a city named Bawlmer.

Some samples of Bawlmerese…

Arn - what you do on an arnin board
Bleef - what you bleev in, your faith
Canny - a state gubmit division, such as Anna Rundel or PeeJee Canny
Downey Ayshen - where everyone goes in the summer
Error - a time measurement of 60 minutes
Farmin - the people who fight fars
Farn Gin - used for taking farmin to fars.
Pleece - the people who uphold the law.
Sarn - what a pleece car or Farn Gin makes noise with.

(with apologies)
