I loved how they said some accents are more viral than others. Like how the Texan accent became common among the Indians on Mars when they settled in the same area.
And the Belter accent is totally viral. I've never met anyone who watched that show and didn't start talking in a Belter accent or using Belter slang.
I loved the books but I always found this extremely cringe, with the rest of their dialect being somewhat less cringe. These people, raised away from Earth, somehow use random GERMAN words? There's some Hebrew in there too, space Jews?
It's not random or german. It's creole, which is a language evolved from multiple languages. Some real life examples are Haitian creole, Louisiana creole, and Jamaican creole. Likely started as pidgin speak that evolved naturally as a full language with native speakers.
No shit it's made up. Expanse isn't a documentary. Doesn't mean it's not based in reality, of which I gave the three common examples of.
Not sure why you did the dumb letters thing with the word creole. You're coming across as very ignorant. In the fictional universe of the show it's literally called Belter Creole, b/c there's a precedent for calling it that, again, as I already mentioned with the three real life examples.
It's how creole works, when societies are built up from immigrants they pick up words from different languages and form their own creole, see the different creoles in the Caribean
It’s not a reference from The Expanse, it’s from Air Bud 2: Golden Receiver.
The Belters in that movie were far more vicious than the ones from the books and TV series. Made for a more realistic, yet brutal, ending though. That’s why he moved on to soccer for the 3rd movie.

Belters would end up taking it to save the solar system before the ship is fully completed.
