Linguistics lecturer here originally from Northumberland. When I was a kid the old guys used to use uvular burr. Nobody my age used it regardless of gender or social class so I would imagine it's all but gone extinct now. There might be some people my dad's age who still use it.

honestly practically speaking there isn’t much utility for an outsider to learn any language other than the ones with hundreds or thousands of speakers, like Arrernte and that, as a translator. Besides that the only people who benefit from learning an indigenous language are the actual members of the community who might have lost it. I think overall, especially if ur in law, it’s not so important to study individual languages languages as it is to understand the social problems surrounding them

This video made me realise how broad me own accent is. I've always had a problem where when I talk to someone I dunno, I talk slightly more "posh" (as me da and I would call it), but I guess it's more Gen AU English. I also recognised by meself before this video that the Irish accent and my own accent (Broad) are very similar in how pronounce words with rs in them. Only difference is the rhoticisation being there or not, for example in car, part, heart, etc - add a rhoticised r to it, it sounds Irish.

Oh, I always thought that the Swedish sj-- was just a bi-articulated English-style sh- (as in Norwegian) or, more commonly, a retroflex version of that sound (in standard Sw) PLUS lip rounding (like English wh- for those speakers that still have that sound). There's definitely a sound change in progress and the sound is losing the sh-like component, so just a wh-type sound (at the beginning of syllables. When it comes from -rs at the end of syllables or between words, there's no change in progress). The wh-only sound is general in the south and common in Stockholm among the younger and also less-reputable population. (I acquired it as a learner who hung out with those sorts.) These are just personal observations, so the only source is That Lizard In The KZbin Comments. edit: Don't know whether to praise the YT algorithm for recommending this channel or damn it for taking so long. Also, I had considered Perth a mythical place because The Decline is such an awesome band, but it seems to be real.

Middle Korean was tonal, according to Wikipedia. So maybe the language is just going back to its roots. Burmese is apparently in the midst of tonogenesis with difference in the manner of pronunciation and not just the pitch. So if you say a syllable in a a Kardashian Burmese accent with vocal fry, that's called the "creaky tone". I'm not sure why, as it sounds nothing at all like a creaking door or a creaky floorboard.

Hi, just found your channel and loving it. I'm trying to get a better understanding of the regional trap/bath split and it's so hard to find information on. The David Crystal study is basically useless at this point because it's 30 years old and and even as a Brit just listening to hours of Australians speaking I know that it's very rare in Sydney to hear anyone pronounce "chance" as /tʃɑːns/ over /tʃæns/ (I've only heard it in SA accents in fact), but the study says it's the prevalence is 80%. But the major question I have if it's not universal within one region (you estimate 25% for Perth), what factors cause the variation within one region. Is it age, prestige, education... being a pretentious tw-t? Becuase obviously in Southern British English, it's always /ɑː/ Another thing I've noticed in SA English is the broader the accent the more British (more round I guess) the /ɑː/ sounds so it really sticks out (See Julia Gillard "circumstances" kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5rZd41jgsaHatk) but a more general speaker will use the same vowel in "bath" and "chance" (See Hamish McLaclan "chance" kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2ashIijbbGrbas)

I think in the past it was much more up to random chance of where your ancestors came from, and your friends’ ancestors, etc…but nowadays it’s definitely much more associated with being posh or educated. I’ve noticed that in WA for example the split is significantly more advanced in older people, but younger people are starting to stamp it out in words like “chance” and “dance” because they see it as posh! So I think nowadays most people definitely consider the difference to be based in education and pretention, whether or not that’s actually true is still up in the air though. And yeah, basically all big studies of Australian English phonetics are horrendously out of date nowadays :( That’s why my generation of linguists has gotta start writing papers ASAP so we can fix that shit. I’ve discovered no less than four diphthong qualities in my friends and family that are not mentioned in ANY literature on AusEng.

the diphthong flattening is happening in young american speech too. in my area weve been consistently pronouncing "about to" as "badda" in casual speech, and "our" sounds identical to "are" for me. "hour" is still pronounced distinctly tho.
