* In mainland China, there's a few verbal tics that depend on province and dialect. One of the more well-known ones is the tendency of Mandarin speakers (especially those from Beijing) to append "-ar" (rhymes with "car") at the end of phrases, sometimes slurring words together. The end result turns the accent-less sentence "Xiànzài jǐ diǎnle?" ("What time is it?") to "Xiànzài jǐ di-ar?" This tic is noticeably absent outside of the mainland, which is an easy way to identify who lives there and who doesn't. In fact, the "-ar" tic is so prevalent that the Japanese have their own stereotype of Chinese people ending their sentences with "[[Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers -aru]]", the phoentic equivalent.

* This trope is a sign of respect in the Philippines and familiarity if it's lacking. In the regions where Filipino (the Tagalog-based national language) is mostly used, when you have someone who is new to a place (like a new employee in a room full of veteran workers) the newbie would end their sentences with ''po''. The ''po'' is a gender-neutral sign of respect, in the most basic sense used for someone older than you. The sentences would usually translate accurately by adding 'sir/ma'am.' (''Order nyo po?'' = "What's your order, sir/ma'am?" ''Ewan ko po.'' = "I don't know, sir/ma'am.") You can tell a person has been at a job or has been doing something for a while if they talk without the ''po''. Hell, it's even appeared in English, as "ma'am/sir" but sometimes appears or spoken like one word, i.e. "ma'am-sir". This can get hilarious, even in ''teleseryes'' (equivalent to the Spanish ''telenovela''). For example, the protagonist in the teleserye ''Be Careful With My Heart'' has a really bad habit of addressing her boss "Ma'am-sir Chief" even though her boss is a male.

** Afrikaans also has "hê?", which is probably derived from French "hein?" via the Huguenots. South African English speakers do the same with "hey?".

As in "So you're going to...", "So I told him to...", etc. This has been used to the point of some teachers calling it a "weed word" and trying to teach students to stop using it. In some parts of the country the particle "де"/"de" is also often used at the end of a statement, usually implying annoyance: "stiga de" - "enough de", "ostavi me de" - "leave me alone de", etc.

In Plovdiv it is still very common for them to end almost every sentence with "майна"/"maina", which has no actual meaning, but probably derives from an old dialect word for "mother" and can also be used as a curse word.

The end result turns the accent-less sentence "Xiànzài jǐ diǎnle?" ("What time is it?") to "Xiànzài jǐ di-ar?" This tic is noticeably absent outside of the mainland, which is an easy way to identify who lives there and who doesn't.
