translated into Pittsburghese, with a li'l help from the online translator (see link below) and a a bit of personal experience. This is what Sagabjorna the Berserker would sound like, if engaged in a modern day converstaion located in Pittsburgh, Pa.:

Better mahnd yinzes own bidness dere, lih-le waif... ahz Sagabjorna, a Brunhilda's Berserkergang ~ Berserkers. An' ahm kind a grumpy, aving jest recovered from re-ast. We Berserkergangers dawn't like nebby neighbors, e'en if they're priddy, like yinz. Now, I left my weapons ahtside da door, respectin' a yinz locals, but Freyja dere, she's a cousin a mine, and it's none-o-yer beeswax who she's lookin' fer. If yinz axe any more nebby questions, she jest might be hunting fer sumpin, like yinzes head. Then ahl hafta go back ta work. So, let's think a sumpin else...

Wah's at yinz got dere in dem pots, little one? Ahm hungry an dirsty. Ferget abaht at big blawnd Gawd annan make me a rawn bairy jam sammitch. I have a sweet-tooth. So bring me als sum food annan sit dahn by ME!"

The Alibi

Don't you remember? We all went with you down to my house, cleaned the house and then climbed around on the roof. We threw rocks off the roof, and we ate bologna, stuffed cabbage, sausage sandwiches and that. Then we all went with you to downtown Pittsburgh. You said, I'm going to my house. I will meet you all down there. Well we all walked around for an hour, and then your sneaker became untied. You fell down on the ground, and a pretty girl with huge hair asked if you were allright. She said, What's up with you? You had better watch out. Can I wash that? And then she cleaned your cut and said, There you go. So, we all went back down to my house, got a few more slices of bologna for sandwiches and ate until we were full.
