I've been discussing male and female speech in Japanese with a woman from Osaka, and she sent me a paragraph that I'm having trouble translating. Some is Osaka-ben but most is just talk I don't understand yet.
I understand that めっちゃ is 大阪弁 for 'very'. I'm having trouble understanding how/why って is used in these contexts:
日本語って
僕とはいわなくて俺っていうのはしってる ってか大阪弁りかいできる?
Oh and what does ねん at the end of a sentence signify?
いいかたがくだけてるねん
Is it just slang for んだ(のです)?

I THINK....
Japanese (it is said) is difficult
Did you know you we use ore instead of boku?
Are you able to understand this (the previous sentence) in Osaka ben?

Yes, thanks, I looked into it as well and realized Sayaka had to be a name. It just wasn't introduced to us so a bit confusing. And according to the goo.ne.jp dictionary, there are a number of entries for Monosugoku. The only usage I was aware of before was "very well/poorly," such as in talking about someone's health condition.
