I suppose my accent is nicely-spoken Londoner. 'Standard English'. Yes. I just love Scottish accents, Geordie and Southern Irish, but I'm not keen on Scouse (apologies to all Scouse members!).
haha that video was awesome! i must say i had to play some parts twice to understand everything tho.. but this was entertaining =)
yont-supm-a-ite?Translation=You want something to eat?=guy I knew from Tennesee.You guys have some trouble understanding accents from your own country?
My accent is a bit of strange one in a way, I live in a town right in the middle of Newcastle and Sunderland. So there's a bit of Geordie and a bit of Mackam. But then again, something all of it's own...Sometimes when I'm singing it comes out plain Scottish. I like it anyway. So that's alright. It's weird how accents can change so easily though. I was talking about this t'other day with oaffie who used to post on the forums. I live with a couple, one of which, Joss, is Canadian. She and her partner Chris have been living together a good three/four years now and Chris' accent is an English/Canadian blend. Oaffie worries as since she's been back in America, some of their twangs have crept into her voicebox. Don't know why I bring all this up really. But you have to admit, it's weird!
To be fair, some of them are barely English; you just don't have the rich and confusing depth of accent that UK English has....
Its not that they are poorly spoken English but some of these accents/languages still have a lot of roots in Anglo Saxon, especially regions 'narf of Watfad, mate!'
