Welsh is also a legally official language in the UK. There's also currently pressure to recognise Gaelic and Irish as official languages.No reason why the US couldn't do the same and make several languages official.
Joke is on you: I'm going to speak Cornish when I visit. It will amaize you.

Cornish isn't so much a language as it is the sound someone makes while eating a Cornish pasty, burping and whistling all at the same time after having a major stroke.
Other than the pasty, that sounds Italian as f*ck.
Just add in farts and that's my dad. Or as you illiterate f*cks would say, "me da."

That's clever.
We (my family) still call it capocollo. We didn't become the illterate f*cks that some of the East Coast Italians became after leaving the Old Country. Still not a fan of it. I prefer the 1001 different versions of salami over capocollo. It is now likely that one of my ancestors, in the great beyond, is shaking their fist at me for my disrespect say saying this about capocollo.
But no. "Me da" would be a Northern England thing. West coast of Scotland would be "mah da". Northern Scotland would be "mih da" and Dundee would be "Meh da"
Accents can vary hugely in very small geographic areas.
This is a typical Dundee accent
It's considered possibly the most difficult Scottish accent to understand with the exception of Doric

I can hear "mee dah" in my head when I typed out "me da" in my previous post. I don't know how to type out the slang Scottish spellings.

I can understand him just fine and it sounds like a lazy Scottish accent to my American ears. Then again, I had Scottish contractors working for me for years so I was exposed to multiple "accents."

This one got me. I went anywhere from understanding 90% to 70% of what he said, depending on what he was talking about. That's such an atrocious accent. Barely "sounds" Scottish to me at times.
Yeah Doric is horrendous. Trump will be used to it. It's the dialect of where his Aberdeenshire golf course is.
I remember a radio show talking about Doric and they mentioned how the word "what" is pronounced "fit" and they call a shoe a "fit" and they call a foot a "fit" so someone speaking Doric and doesn't know their left from there right would go into a shoe shop and ask...
"fit fit fits fit fit?"

That reminds me of the buffalo sentence.
Also, along the same lines, I have a joke for you.
