Gemma has a great vocabulary (in my opinion). However, her speech can be difficult to understand if you don't spend every waking moment with her. Over Christmas, I was explaining to a few people about how her language rules to help them understand her better.
Rule 1: All c and k sounds are t's.
Example: tootkie (cookie), pint (pink), tandy (candy), Tana & Haint (Cana & Hank)
Rule 2: All g's are d's.
Example: Demma (Gemma), Damma (Grandma- very similar to her name), Danpa (Grandpa), dive (give), deen (green), do (go)
Rule 3: most l's are y's. This isn't a hard and fast rule.
Example: reay-ye (really), yeya-ow (yellow),
