Ah the joys of different languages! Don’t you love the way that people speak differently, spell and pronounce things wrong and mess up the syntax and semantics when they say things.

This is a collection of jokes and funny stories about language, speech and the way people talk, which we hope you enjoy. If you enjoy these jokes, you mustn’t miss our collection of Accent Jokes.

Of course we have nothing against foreigners, people who speak a different language or have a strong accent, but these do provide great ammunition for creating some really funny jokes. Never forget that just as others may be foreigners to us, we are also foreigners to them.
