The Birmingham Accent Explained.

[@bobdavis6360]

People should realise that the brummie accent is different to the black country accent. But I must admit that this guy made me laugh. Former brummie.

[@ellydavis2066]

I love the Brummie accent. It's so singy. My Dad's family are from there & visiting was great listening to my Dad and his brothers crack on especially after they came back from the pub and it'd get loud. How everything was bostin (no idea how to spell) and they'd say things like 'yow day did ya?'....'rrrr, I did'. Still love listening to it to this day regardless of what others down south say about it.

Deafened lipreader here...formerly hearing, multilingual...Monsieur Kane, your facial expressions and oral gestures allow me to hear the music of accents. Its how I can still speak Dutch vs German after a voice coach helped me "get the German out" of that language. I love lipreading you and it fits with everything I detected in languages...the music, prosody.. Thanks for this wonderful humor!!!!! 😂😂😂🎉

The way they say boermingham is correct since it was originally the city of the boer minghas. Similarly wealas was one of the previous names for wales and it still how the welsh pronounce the name of thier country.

[@omega9409]

Wealas is an Anglo-Saxon word meaning "foreigners"

[@edwardferry8247]

@@MrFoxxRaven Birmingham is a big city you are mentioning small districts of the inner city that like most inner city’s are deprived areas and not remotely representative of an entire place. London, Manchester, Newcastle, Glasgow etc etc all have similar areas. Listen to UK drill music, origin London, those places are described as ghettos by the artists making the music. London has some of the worst child poverty and deprived areas in Europe. Visited Paris recently ? Have you seen the soup kitchens and homeless people in tents by the nice hotels and monuments. Visited Berlin ? Tried Neukölln after 6pm? I could go around Europe.
