The biggest surprise from this video, for me, is that people are still worried about the concept of a 'correct' or 'right' way to speak; this is not the nineteenth century. If you lose the language/dialect/accent of where you come from then you lose the means of expressing the culture of that place, and a culture that can't be expressed is a dying culture. The most correct pronunciation is your native pronunciation .

[@patriciakeats1621]

So well said!!

[@ahmedezzaldin372]

[@patriciakeats1621]

You are right….my culture “Americanized” and “Canadianized” rapidly in the past 30 years or so. It makes me a bit sad. It’s life though.

[@Rowlph8888]

No, that was just a personal/Private joke between those speaking RP and Lauren, who is a hybrid between RP and Northern. The joke was simply that most people would consider Lauren having an RP accident, but when she is around people in South-east England, she Sounds Northern. There really isn't much of a prejudice against what you would call "proper".I speak RP,and so do most of my close friends, but I've never heard anyone even mention accent variations, in middle England

[@andieslandies]

He's Scottish. There's plenty of different accents and dialects just within Scotland and it's a bit disingenuous to divide it between northern and southern British since nobody thinks or talk about that in the UK. There's the South and North of England and then there's Scotland as well. But Scottish people aren't considered 'Northern'.

The only one with a different accent on here is the man on the far left. All the others speak the same. I say that as a British person. The reason is because all of them are middle to upper class and regional accents and dialects become homogenous among them.

I wish they had a Northerner from Yorkshire or somewhere similar as well, because they have "Scottish-like" (monophthongal) "oh" and "ey" sounds as well. It would've given a nice example of an English person with those stereotypically "Scottish" vowels. The Scouse woman sounds very similar to the Southerners.

I'm from Yorkshire and I wouldn't say we have too much "Scottish-like" sounds, but we sound completely different to anywhere else, especially in West Yorkshire where we skip the letters H and T (unless the T is at the start of a word) and we don't say 'To' so like we say 'orse' and 'ouse' instead of horse and house and we say like 'I'm off town' instead of off to town

@@cheman579 I didn't mean that Yorkshire phonology in general was "Scottish-like". I know they sound very different.

I'm from Edinburgh, but my accent sounds southern English. I've just never really been surrounded by people with strong Scottish accents and one of my parents is German giving me the 'silent r', which I feel is the biggest difference between southern and northern accents. I do, however, pronounce the 'A's in words like Bath, Grass, and Answer like 'ah' instead of 'uh', and I pronounce 'T's if there is a vowel after them, but if there is nothing after or a consonant after when it is used at the end of a word, I use a glottal stop.

I would of loved to have a proper west country accent take part in this!! As living in rural southwest England for most my live, there so many more relaxed way of talking and slang that is present in Devon and Cornwall (although Cornwall have more of there own as well) thats not available shown here, to me even the Dorset sounds more posh and although i know people who can sound like that here they often come from more affluent background even if they are still farmers or mechanics etc.! I know personally my accent isn't that thick as some other west country accents as i spent the 1st 8 years of my live living in Essex so i still have a bit of a twang there from my mum, but my dad grew up in rural Hampshire so he sounded different again! My kids dad doesn't speak very Devonian either has his father served in the RAF so he grew up exposed to many accents, although his family comes from Plymouth so that's kind of what some people would refer to as a townie accent rather than rural. But i also feel that this is an accent that isn't really represented in modern media very much either.

[@Azog150]

I also like a West Country accent. Problem is these people are all in their 20s, and the younger generations no longer speak proper West Contry because they think it's embarrassing or uncool. So instead they ape London and South Eastern accents, which is sad. West Country is one of the countries oldest dialects and accents, and it's dying out within the space of 50 years because young people think it's not cool anymore. Tragic really. I'm a Northerner, but I say West Country people should take more pride in where they live, and who cares if the South Easterners (or anyone else) laughs at your accent! West Country accents have always sounded friendly and unpretentious to my ears.

There's nothing worse than being asked to talk in your Scottish dialect on the spot.

OK, so this is not the best example of how varied British accents are. The 4 on the left are what I would class a pretty much the same (I struggle to hear a difference). If the producers really wanted to show the difference amongst the British accents then they would have chosen people from across the country; Essex, South London, Dorset, Bristol etc all the way up to the North. I don't think this is a great example of just how beautifully varied the British accents are. Even in London there are multiple accents that are different between themselves: for example, the African British accent is different to the Indian British accent. Now that would be a video I would prefer to see that truly represents how wonderfully and fascinating British accents can be.

I wouldve loved to see someone from Yorkshire here, it wouldva spiced it a bit more. oh well

[@2RANbit]

Hmm. In my opinion, a language that fundimentally belongs to the same basic language no matter how big it may differ otherwise is a dialect. An accent would be basically different if the language was confined to a confined defined area. So someone raised in the area of a country that used English as the common denominator might experience different dialects of the same language, whereas someone who was brought up in a German or French speaking area, country or community might have an accent if he or she enters a different place in the world where a basically different language was spoken and the person tries to learn that language. Some terms may be known if they were imported as loanwords to the the foreign language, but in general, the terminology will be completely different. Someone from east Asia, for example, will not know how to speak an English word correctly until that person learns otherwise. To be able to do so, a person has to overcome such things as the correct pronunciation of the word in the according other language before being understood in the other language and so on. It can be quite frustrating to experience that down to the way the letters of the alphabet are not used in quite the same way as in the English way.
