(DISGUISED AS A 1950'S SUITCASE AND HIDDEN IN THE SHED)
MARTIAN
sounds like a cross between Welsh and Chinese.
Much of it comes from the back of the throat, ripples along the tongue and slams into the roof of the mouth.
The intonation goes up and down a lot (which is pleasant) - but there are also a lot of startling exclamations mixed in, making the speaker seem aggressive to those who (like me) are used to speaking English.

Esther!! I'm so glad to have you as first on my list for the "pay it forward meme"!
Ming - I hope the plant isn't too big. Will there still be room for Esther to get into the garden?
You know, Ming, sometimes bigger isn't better.
Easygardener - I'm back - and I'm in.
I bought a new pair of secateurs at the Poundbury Garden Centre when I met up with VP.
. . . . strong . . . . and sharp!

MMD I've passed your message on to Ming.

P.S. Sometimes - 'not having it at all' would be even better!
