[@BrunoPerissotti]

This was the first time I saw Siobhan and I've always tried to follow her career. When I stumbled upon an KZbin Short of Dimension 20 first season I was so happy. I would say she's my favorite player from the Intrepid Heroes, but they're all so excellent!

I'm convinced the UK has about 100 accents for each square mile

[@MA-ck4wu]

Nothing special, a lot of regions have that diversity

[@haer8570]

Like where ?

[@dustin445]

every family is developing its own accent haha

[@hellothere5843]

It's kinda similar to Indonesia, just in Indonesia's case it's a bit like 100 languages/ square mile.

[@marklangridge2734]

It's complicated by the fact that Ireland is part of the British Isles (the UK, ireland and surrounding small islands), but it is NOT part of Great Britain which is the largest of the british isles and includes only England, Scotland and Wales. Mostly when people say "Britain" they mean "Great Britain".

[@TheClassyArchitect]

With a name like Siobhan, you’d hope she’d be sympathetic toward the sentiment!

[@spencerburke]

​@@marklangridge2734 It's not complicated at all. Ireland isn't part of the British Isles, and it isn't British, nor English. Only people misled by old English propaganda will say otherwise. They are known for saying nonsense like "it's just a geographic term". Don't swallow the lies.

[@candidethirtythree4324]

I think that London has at least a dozen different accents all by itself.

[@josh0g]

Candide Thirtythree I think that London is the most likely place to hear any of these accents, and perhaps blended accents influenced by other places. That's just the nature of a large city. People pick up things they are exposed to over time, and it is natural that in a big city people are exposed to more accents more often.

[@kingjah129]

I'm from London, I think people up in East London's is a lot stronger proper cockney. And North London speak a lot slower and calmer and south speak quite fast.

[@markhorton8578]

+Candide Thirtythree There are language experts who recon you can tie down an accent to within about a 6 mile radius. I recon that may no longer apply due to the effects of media and mobility. I think is is probably more like 12 miles nowadays. Though who knows, maybe computer analysis will be able to bring it back down again.

[@MrFrimponged]

+Candide Thirtythree Same with areas in Lancashire and Greater Manchester, I'm from Bolton and my accent is quite a bit different from people that have grown up in Manchester/Salford and it's only like 12 miles away.

[@TonyEnglandUK]

How on Earth did we get so many different accents in such a small place as the UK? Travel 50 miles in any direction and the accents will change dramatically.

[@jonbriffitt5654]

Uk's been invaded alot and settled alot of times hence why there's different cultures/ accents everywhere.

[@johannaschreiber1243]

That happenes to a lot of countries in Europe. It's the same in Germany even though the explanation seems a bit more logical since it was seperated into 10701790170109 1/2 (not an accurate number) little states... It goes as far as that for example the average bavarian (not the one from Munich) generally has to be subtitled when talking on tv.

[@FanxB]

UK regional and local accents are due to people not having any great mobility - at least not until the mid nineteenth Century. It has nothing to do with having been invaded - the last time that happened was nearly a 1,000 years ago. Until the Industrial Revolution, and later the railways and bicycling, most people lived in the same town as their ancestors had done for hundreds of years, and accents remained very localised. You're wrong about travelling 50 miles though - travelling just to the next village (less than five miles away) would be enough to notice significant accent change, and sometimes they'd be more or less mutually incomprehensible. Travelling 50 miles away could mean passing through a dozen different accent zones, although most such local accent variations have given way to regional accents.

[@andystrazz]

come to italy, I guess it's the same here. apart tuscan accent, I think every local accent has also his own dialect. many of them are so much different from italian that a person who comes form more than 150 miles away wouldn't understand half of the words, because they're totally different. E.G. chair is "sedia" in italian, "cadrega" in milan and "scrana" in bologna...

[@johnbell5260]

Tony England I'm English but the two accents I honestly do prefer are Highland Scottish and Welsh. Scotland has some fantastic accents, not just the harsher Glaswegian types but really musical-sounding and beautiful. Welsh accents I just find sexy lol.

Big cities can be crazy like that, NYC used to have a bunch of different accents for example. I knew someone who was a teacher there briefly in the 50s or 60s and she even had a couple students that were born and raised there that barely spoke English since they were raised in Little Italy and plenty of people had different accents based on neighborhood. Brooklyn accent, Bronx accent, Queens accent, and tons of foreign accents. Despite that alot of people think the NYC accent is all Brooklyn, and London gets a similar treatment.

[@cherri_chip7257]

​@@seanleith5312 My guess on why there are so many accents is back in the day there were lots of languages you see, and the way those languages used syllables probably impact the accents of today Like welsh accent sounds like the language in the way of pronunciation I don't know much about the language history of the uk but Wales, Scotland, Ireland and Cornwall spoke celtic languages and because that they sound in the words of my Welsh Mother. "Like uneducated cabbage farmers." North East England was taken over by the vikings, perhaps some old Norse got in the accents? villages did get a bit of old Norse in village names like Grimsby which means "Grim's Village" Grim was the guy who founded it so I guess he's a creative chap Enjoy this rant about history, cabbage farmers and a Norwegian fisherman.

[@rogerhwerner6997]

Cockney isn't really an accent at all. It's rather like a dialect. If you're interested, Kate Arnett explains Cockney in depth on Anglophenia Ep. 36. It originally described the word substitution dialect used by people in a geographically defined area of the the London East End. Ms. Arnett's episode provides a nice intro. Of course I'm not from London and can only presume Ms. Arnett knows what she is talking about. As she exlains it, cockney is a native of East London, traditionally one born within hearing of the St. Mary Le-Bow church bells located within the city of London.
