This sounds nothing like West Country or East Anglian, I live in East Anglia and it has more than one accent but this matches none of them.

[@ravinloon58]

I live in Bristol and was raised in Bedfordshire. This accent is somewhere between Bristol and Norfolk... but it has clearly developed to suit where they live now. The pace/rhythm of Bristol with the tone of Norfolk. I would love to spend a few days there and would enjoy seeing some of these folk over here. There is something about local dialects, we hardly recognise what we sound like until you are a thousand miles from home and you hear someone talking on the bus/train and thy sound just like one of your relatives.

[@catscats50]

Clancer I can hear some Norfolk in there. The turkey man BERNARD MATHEWS springs to mind. He's on KZbin.

[@menacinghat]

Half the people in the West Country or East Anglia no longer even speak with the traditional accents. More of a watered-down South East accent. These people are just the predecessors to the homogenization of accents that we see today.

They don't though, there wasn't some monolithic accent, imagine how *hard* that would be to enforce over a population of 70 million anglophones back then. Australian is more Cornish, but Cornish had been a specific accent or even dialect of Middle and Early Modern English too (fairly close to the current one).

As someone born and bred in Northern Ireland and who spends alot of time in Weymouth Dorset and Falmouth Cornwall, I can guarantee I've just head all three accents in this video, it's amazing it has stood the test of time, I guess being remote on the coast has played a part in that. In N Ireland along a 60 mile stretch of coast, we have at least 7 different accents deriving from Ulster Scott's, English plantation and Donegal Irish. All adds to the mix of life here but it does sometimes flumux the hundreds of thousands of tourists that visit the Causeway Coast .

I'm from Northern England with Cornish parents, and when I go to the states they ask me if I'm Australian. Reality is most of the accents throughout the Anglosphere can still be detected somewhere in the British Isles but mostly England. In spite of the highly publicised and self-promoted Scottish and Irish contingent, who love nothing more than spinning a yarn, the English founders of these countries took their accents with them and had generations to establish themselves before the later arrivals from other parts of our Isles or further abroad. The West country accent seems to be present in most of the Anglosphere at one level or another.

It's quite interesting ,because I have travelled to Newfoundland (when I was a seaman) and the first thing that hits you is the accent on the inhabitants of Long Harbour, it is nearly pure Ulster- Northern Irish.And I believe it's been like it for hundreds of years.Then travel thousands of miles south to Patagonia, Argentina and a lot of the inhabitants speak Welsh as a first language, with the people having joint Welsh/Spanish names IE: Gomez-Price.The shops and offices and road signs in certain Patagonian towns resemble strongly that of towns back in the valleys of Wales, in that the signs are dual language, whereas in Wales it is Welsh/English in Patagonia it is Welsh/Spanish.Good to see cultures survive after thousands of miles and hundreds of years.
