      It's complicated by the fact that Ireland is part of the British Isles (the UK, ireland and surrounding small islands), but it is NOT part of Great Britain which is the largest of the british isles and includes only England, Scotland and Wales. Mostly when people say "Britain" they mean "Great Britain".

    I think that London has at least a dozen different accents all by itself.

    • @josh0g
      @josh0g 8 лет назад +264

      Candide Thirtythree I think that London is the most likely place to hear any of these accents, and perhaps blended accents influenced by other places. That's just the nature of a large city. People pick up things they are exposed to over time, and it is natural that in a big city people are exposed to more accents more often.

      +Candide Thirtythree There are language experts who recon you can tie down an accent to within about a 6 mile radius. I recon that may no longer apply due to the effects of media and mobility. I think is is probably more like 12 miles nowadays. Though who knows, maybe computer analysis will be able to bring it back down again.

      That happenes to a lot of countries in Europe. It's the same in Germany even though the explanation seems a bit more logical since it was seperated into 10701790170109 1/2 (not an accurate number) little states... It goes as far as that for example the average bavarian (not the one from Munich) generally has to be subtitled when talking on tv.

    • @FanxB
      @FanxB 9 лет назад +415

      UK regional and local accents are due to people not having any great mobility - at least not until the mid nineteenth Century. It has nothing to do with having been invaded - the last time that happened was nearly a 1,000 years ago.
      Until the Industrial Revolution, and later the railways and bicycling, most people lived in the same town as their ancestors had done for hundreds of years, and accents remained very localised. You're wrong about travelling 50 miles though - travelling just to the next village (less than five miles away) would be enough to notice significant accent change, and sometimes they'd be more or less mutually incomprehensible. Travelling 50 miles away could mean passing through a dozen different accent zones, although most such local accent variations have given way to regional accents.

    • @andystrazz

      come to italy, I guess it's the same here. apart tuscan accent, I think every local accent has also his own dialect. many of them are so much different from italian that a person who comes form more than 150 miles away wouldn't understand half of the words, because they're totally different. E.G. chair is "sedia" in italian, "cadrega" in milan and "scrana" in bologna...

      Not sure the name of the accent, but in Braveheart there’s a line I love. William goes to pick up Murron (🤤) in the rain. Her father’s answer is “not the now”. With the accent, it’s so awesome. OH! And though I doubt Brits even hear it, the substitution of “me” for “my” is simply divine!
      I know we in the States are annoying as we gush over your accents, but suppressing a compliment IN PERSON is almost asking too much. I try to hold out, knowing we do it so much. You have no idea.

      Big cities can be crazy like that, NYC used to have a bunch of different accents for example. I knew someone who was a teacher there briefly in the 50s or 60s and she even had a couple students that were born and raised there that barely spoke English since they were raised in Little Italy and plenty of people had different accents based on neighborhood. Brooklyn accent, Bronx accent, Queens accent, and tons of foreign accents. Despite that alot of people think the NYC accent is all Brooklyn, and London gets a similar treatment.

      Like welsh accent sounds like the language in the way of pronunciation
      I don't know much about the language history of the uk but Wales, Scotland, Ireland and Cornwall spoke celtic languages and because that they sound in the words of my Welsh Mother. "Like uneducated cabbage farmers."
      North East England was taken over by the vikings, perhaps some old Norse got in the accents? villages did get a bit of old Norse in village names like Grimsby which means "Grim's Village" Grim was the guy who founded it so I guess he's a creative chap

    The biggest thing that people get wrong when trying to speak in a Yorkshire accent is that you'll find very few people actually say " t' " anything. The t' that most imitators put in is really exaggerated as you find the overwhelming majority or locals will actually speak with a glottal stop instead. As a result of the perceived exaggeration it ends up making people's imitations sound more like a piss take than an attempt at mimicry. Only a minor thing, but it would really make you sound a lot more convincing.

      @littleun1990 9 лет назад +3

      Rory Oliver Daley You're kind of both right. In a Yorkshire accent t' as she pronounced it means 'to the'. "going to the shop" would be "going t' shop". Many people trying to immitate the accent incorrectly think that it means 'the' without the 'to'.
      In this video however, she actually goes the other way: using t' in sentences which dont include the word 'the'. She is actually saying "So across the Pennines to the Yorkshire" and "One does not simply walk in to the Mordor" which is why it sounds jarring. Here there should be no glottal stop. The t should sound like first syllable of tomato. She gets it pretty much right when she says "I'm going to the pub up the hill" though.

      The TRAP/BATH or TRAP/BARRRFF being an example where RP isn't objectively straightforward.
