Well.  As for my natlang: in Bogot=E1 young speech (and spread to all soc=
ial
clases and most ages) there are two common fill words that has begun to b=
e
used everywhere: "g=FCev=F3n" and "marica", usually pronounced as /w@'BOn=
/ and
/m@'rIk@/ with very relaxed and short schwas, unless they are enphatic wh=
ere
they could become /Gwe'bOn/ and /ma'rika/.

Those fill words are inserted at the end of every sentence, but probably =
the
last.
