He sounds JUST like my Yorkshire relatives from Halifax !

[@EverythingAmericanEnglish]

Quite an interesting video, I like this series from you. Accents are so interesting! Most of my family speaks with a southern drawl, but for some reason my older sister and I speak with a generic boring American accent. I learned something new. Thanks for sharing!

[@partlimer]

Interesting. Did you both go to the same school? Similar to how Zayn would have gotten influenced by his teachers and classmates. Also is your accent generic but you could switch to the drawl when speaking to the rest of your family? So many questions as this is so fascinating.

[@EverythingAmericanEnglish]

p l I could probably attempt a Southern drawl and fool people into thinking it was how I really spoke lol. Similar to a friend of mine who is American, but has parents from Jamaica. Only when she speaks with her family do I hear a slight Jamaican accent. I think there was the influence of my peers as well. I went to a pretty diverse school. Same as my sister.

[@SunnieBal]

His accent and Louis are the strongest but are my favorite haha You should do Cher Lloyd next, she kinda disappeared but her accent always intrigued me. Ps. Love your videos, English is my second language and it’s really cool to learn about accents

[@Fatima-sg6cd]

He can speak more than one language so I think that could have a factor on his English accent.

[@eflastark007]

He can speak Urdu and can read Arabic

[@ChavvyCommunist]

@ꫝarry K Why do you keep saying "Pakistani/Arab" like that. Arabic is a completely different language from Urdu, and so the accents would also sound different in English. There's no reason relationship at all to lump in as the same category beyond Pakistan and Arab countries being Muslim, and that's got nothing to do with linguistics at all.

[@ChavvyCommunist]

@ꫝarry K The fact that Urdu, Pashto, and Farsi have a large amount of Arabic loanwords in them, and use an Arabic based script, does not mean they're at all similar to Arabic. They're not mutually intelligible with Arabic because they have completely different grammar, different sets of vowel and consonant sounds, and also still have a large amount of different vocabulary (especially with things like pronouns, numbers, kinship terms, etc). You are talking out of your arse. Also Pakistan isn't part of the Middle East. They've more in common culturally with India than with the Arab world.

[@ChavvyCommunist]

@ꫝarry K Those are certainly all words
