Deconstructing Cockney

Sentence 4 of 5 cockney-speech set

Video courtesy of Youtube.

en-aiv left þe twi‛nz tuu rastii wa‛nz

This is how what the man said can be written in phonetic text (see list of the sounds here).

Notes:

en-oiv = "And I've", the N Sound joins the next word, the O-I Diphthong replaces the middle-class A-I Diphthong.
left þe twi‛nz = "left the twins", in the word "the" the Thorn Sound could have been replaced by a V Sound but not in this case.
tuu rastii wa‛nz = "two rusty ones", mainstream speech.
