The idea for my Cockney Alphabet came from ”Schott’s Original Miscellany” upon which it is loosely based.
I can thoroughly recommend the book as an excellent Christmas stocking filler.

I had wondered if there would be a problem with people understanding the humour of the alphabet if they have no experience of the Cockney tongue.

Cockney is a careless way of speaking.
The Hs are dropped e.g. hand = ‘and. Hay = ‘a. Horse = ‘orse.
Th is pronounced f e.g. things = fings.
Ing on the end of a word, the g is dropped. e.g. going = goin.
Going out = goin ‘ut

I don’t think I am very good at explaining this.
As a chap who stammers I pronounce my words badly anyway.

Some of the letters are rather obscure others are easy.

An explanation will follow Z.
