I believe it will survive in the medium term. Though the East Anglian sounding burr was common in across the south and has been wiped out of the home counties in 50 to 75 years. I remember listening to old boys using buggeree buggeri Bucks in the 80s but have not heard it in years. There are still young people speaking Cockney so it is protected for at least a generation. The one caveat is that as I'm the 1920s it would have been unimaginable to think that the southern English family if accents would be pushed to East Anglia and the fens only within 60 years. So MLE could sweep Cockney out quicker than I imagine.
@@garethfarman9540 Confirmed, born in South London until 10 and then moved to Norwich with Estuary English. The Norfolk one still exists (mainly in the North and West) but it's taken a big hit in Norwich and South Norfolk and a lot of the East (other than the coast).
I’m glad you acknowledged the other influences and didn’t just say “Jamaican” or “Caribbean” like others say. MLE has influences from so many languages, accents and dialects. For example some words come from Portuguese, Somali, Arabic, Italian, different African languages and more
No British cant or dialect is totally free from foreign influence. Polari leans heavily on Cockney Rhyming slang, but infuses it with overly pretentious use of southern European languages. Bona to set me minces on your dolly eek. (Good to set my eyes on your lovely face) Eek is a genuine Polare, coming from ecaf or face backwards. However Chav comes from Romany and there are many other influences.
There's another thing I've noticed (it's either MLE or South London) where a word such as "like" is pronounced as "lack" and "house" is kind of "haahs" (instead of "howse"). And I remember for a while "innit" became "izzit". You're going to the party, izzit. But I haven't heard that for a while.
To anyone in the comments section, Cockney is not at all pretentious, it's how we speak, don't run down what you don't understand. We still exist you know
Th stopping was already replaced with T’s or D’s in the other Northern European languages in the Middle Ages. In old Norse, we spoke like the British but the TH sounds disappeared in the high Middle Ages. I’m surprised they lasted this long in 🇬🇧
In Manchester, almost everyone under the age of about 35 does the th-fronting thing. It irritates me. I was talking to someone in Manchester yesterday who had a well-spoken southern English accent, like he was from Oxford or Bath or somewhere (who knows) and even he was doing it. I refuse to do it.
The black kids were always seen as cool on the London estates . The white and Asian kids copied their style and language. The young black kids adopted a Jamaican influenced dialect that their parents didn't use. Most of their parents had been born here and spoke with a traditional working class London accent. I first noticed this change just over 20 years ago while travelling on a bus in Highbury. Two kids who I assumed were black, were chatting behind me, as I turned around to leave I saw that the kids were white. It took me by surprise. Now it's the norm. I was in my doctors surgery in Camden last week and heard a discussion between the 50 year old black male receptionist who spoke with an English accent and a 25 year old white English man who talked with a Jamaican one. London language has changed dramatically in one generation and it's not just working class kids. I've heard young wealthy teenagers in Highgate doing the same ting. It's the cool way to speak. Innit
Remember the Jamaican accent wouldn't exist without the Irish influence. Listen to how crazily similar a thick Irish accent sounds alongside Jamaican patois.
Yes, it's certainly a mix of Jamaican, Irish and some Cockney. The black kids developed it as their own slang and the white and Asian kids copied as they thought it was cool. I've lived on an estate for 30 years. I've seen it develop. And your right, it certainly has an Irish influence as their were a lot of families around here in Camden of Irish descent. It's certainly widespread and established in London
I’d say it’s somewhat put on In both races alot of the black kids they’re mum and dad usually speak more like traditional Londoners and the white kids it’s even worse they ain’t got no excuse for it
British Colonial Slave traders sent Indentured Irish Servants to the Caribbean. West African Slaves tribal dialect mixed with Irish accent led to the west Indian accents. West Indian people moved to London, then few decades later the modern day MLE was born. You done know - top of the morning to ya !!!! Irish and African are for me the biggest influences for me.
@@adangbe Plenty. Jamaica wasn't the only British Caribbean colony to receive a much of Irish servants. You can look up the "Black Irish" of Montserrat (most people of the island are of African and Irish descent) and the "Redlegs" (the Irish Caribbean versions of "rednecks") in places like Barbados. Two good books you can also read are "The Black and Green Atlantic: Cross-Currents of the African and Irish Diasporas" edited by Peter D. O'Neill and "Everyday Life in the Early English Caribbean: Irish, Africans, and the Construction of Difference" by Jenny Shaw.

@@WhiteLineRacerprobably cause you’re a racist twat. Accents and dialects are different all around the country and in London there are multiple cultural influences- literally what this video is about and yet you still chose to say racist shit
It's an interesting accent for sure. I'm an immigrant to this country from a young age. Raised in glasgow and have obviously picked up the accent (although I am told I speak like a posh ****.) The one thing I find odd is fellow immigrants have the MLE accent even though a lot of them were raised in Glasgow. (Tbf some lived in england b4 coming up here so maybe that had an effect.) Just find it odd, a Scottish immigrant with an MLE accent 😂😂😂
It becomes a v or f if it's in the middle of the word like brother is like bruvva but not always at the start. There is just there. But now I think of it I say "fink" and "free" instead of think and three. But I say there as there. So I really don't know. I guess there is sometimes.."dere" if there's a word before it, to run it together? (I'm just thinking about what sounds natural when I talk)
I have one question for you In international phonetic chart of RP there are two front sounds /ei/and /e/ And the place of articulation is almost same but little different. However, speakers start /ei/ (close mid) diphthong from /ɛ/ which is in open mid position in phonetic chart. In dictionary there is only /e/ symbol for both /e/ and /ɛ/ sounds. I think we can start /ei/ diphthong from any one place out of these two. I've seen RP phonetic chart many times and got to know there are some sounds positions which are not definite. But tell me why there are contradictions in RP chart regarding sounds? I hope u understand!
If anyone talks to me in MLE I tell them I can't understand them. Also, 'innit' was was used extensively by the working class in London and the South East back as far as at least the 70s. 'Smart, innit?' It's funny how 'innit' is being attributed to MLE. In MLE 'innit' is just gibberish, innit?
I don’t like it myself that much, but seriously there are a lot of different African accents. West African does not sound like East African South African does not sound like North African and then there’s those that even have the French accent
Its the death of cockney from my period of time i can tell straight awzy im a 1955 born cockney accents change due to social change way it is cock or mate just is
Cockney always sounded so pretentious and forced to me, whereas MLE sounds so natural and modern, and I'm lowkey picking it up from friends, even though the way I speak is nowhere near anything British. But there are times where I catch myself and whatever came out of my mouth sounded so Caribbean/British for some reason.

Hearing everyone with this "MLE" accent no matter what region of the UK they are in and no matter their cultural background is beyond cringe. This is how young black men used to talk in the early 2000s, no other races... and the speech was all derived from Patois, Jamaican broken English. Everyone else from every other culture are culturally appropriating to the point this is now called "MLE" and they will never admit it's simply influenced by Patois because they're all BEGS.
Shows how bad things have become when your own accents start dissapearing. And white kids who speak in this new accent should be ashamed and get some self respect and stop trying to be something they are not.
Right on. I'm an American but always liked the Cockney accent, shame this is what it's being replaced with. I reckon a lot of these kids will snap out of it as they age
@@Draefend it's not new tho, it started in the 80s. I grew up surrounded by this accent, learning to speak different now would involve faking an accent which is weird and hard, you don't just grow out of an entire accent, maybe people use different words when they're older but they're not going to speak different. I don't see how this accent is any worse than cockney, people used to look down on that too
@@pumpkinpepsi Thing is I don't live in London I'm 'up North' and it's a pretty popular accent here too. It literally IS kids copying rap to become 'cool'. In the 80's you might have had it in the bigger and more diverse London, but leafy Cheshire didn't!

@@di7209 People who spend all day watching RUclips and copying London ''roadmen" (street level dealers) are definitely less intelligent than the average. I was born and grew up in Inner South London and don't speak that way but then I go to Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Essex etc. and hear a load of home counties "yutes" forcing this "accent" by using out of place Jafaken words so much lol. There's more American cultural influence than Jamaican by far but I don't hear people randomly forcing American words lol.
Nowadays most whites kids in London speak English with a hybrid Jamaican dialect which is very different from the anglo saxon dialect of English which was spoken in London. In the early 2000's, young white kids on council estates in London became JAMAICANISED. This is when they starting speaking with English with a hybrid Jamaican dialect. For example, Essex county is the only place in Britain where the cockney dialect/and or accent is still spoken. TO SUMMARISE: In the 1980's all the national British companies when through a process called national - PRIVATISATION - and then almost - SIMULTANEOUSLY - all the poor - NATIONAL - white kids endured a process called - JAMAICANISATION - which did indeed definitely - LEAD - to all poor - NATIONAL - white girls on council estates quickly - UNDERGO - a process called Jamaican extreme - INSEMINATION - and thus all the young - RESULTING - half cast babies initiated a full - NATIONAL - process called extreme - BASTARDISATION. Remember everyone, that the last point regarding bastardisation is entirely optional, and is not my view but instead is the view of white nationalists.

The most annoying feature of this so-called MLE is the sound of the I in “like”. Which is a shame because the people who speak with this accent say “like” several times in every sentence. Except they say “laaaak” instead. I will never employ someone who speaks with that ridiculous accent.
So my question in the video is - is it the death of Cockney? What do you think?

@@anamerican5585 People who want to be Jamaican are faking it, no one taught you to pretend to be from Kingston in a public primary school. If you speak like that then you're an easily led sheep who can't speak proper English. You may as well start using American slang in an American accent as well, that is what you sound like when you try and force patois lol.
Get a job please
No it’s not that’s just how people sound accent is no indicator of IQ that’s a very classist way of thinking.
@@di7209 People who spend all day watching RUclips and copying London ''roadmen" (street level dealers) are definitely less intelligent than the average. I was born and grew up in Inner South London and don't speak that way but then I go to Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Essex etc. and hear a load of home counties "yutes" forcing this "accent" by using out of place Jafaken words so much lol. There's more American cultural influence than Jamaican by far but I don't hear people randomly forcing American words lol.
The uks most worst accent
Nowadays most whites kids in London speak English with a hybrid Jamaican dialect which is very different from the anglo saxon dialect of English which was spoken in London.
In the early 2000's, young white kids on council estates in London became JAMAICANISED.
This is when they starting speaking with English with a hybrid Jamaican dialect.
For example, Essex county is the only place in Britain where the cockney dialect/and or accent is still spoken.
TO SUMMARISE:
In the 1980's all the national British companies when through a process called
national - PRIVATISATION - and then
almost - SIMULTANEOUSLY - all the
poor - NATIONAL - white kids endured a process
called - JAMAICANISATION - which did indeed
definitely - LEAD - to all
poor - NATIONAL - white girls on council estates
quickly - UNDERGO - a process called Jamaican
extreme - INSEMINATION - and thus all the
young - RESULTING - half cast babies initiated a
full - NATIONAL - process called
extreme - BASTARDISATION.
Remember everyone, that the last point regarding bastardisation is entirely optional, and is not my view but instead is the view of white nationalists.
Bit of a stereotype still places in London that ain’t got the jafaican thing and plenty in Kent still talk similar to traditional London

Maybe people in the outer limits of London still speak with a traditional celtic accent/dialect.
But not deeper into London where white kids speak English with a hybrid Jamaican dialectn
Bermondsey ain’t exactly a outer limit where would you class the outer limits as

@@shaunigothictv1003What's a celtic accent?? Never heard one.
The most annoying feature of this so-called MLE is the sound of the I in “like”. Which is a shame because the people who speak with this accent say “like” several times in every sentence. Except they say “laaaak” instead. I will never employ someone who speaks with that ridiculous accent.
