Accents in the UK developed a long time ago before people moved around easily in cars or trains. This means the accents developed in relative isolation from each other, which is why they can be very different over small distances
I'm not so sure about that because a lot of accents developed in the 19th century when there was mass movement of people from rural to urban environments and even cross-border (I'm thinking of Irish influence on Scouse, for example). Mass communication (Radio, TV and now the internet) will probably begin to deteriorate localisation.
No what the original poster said is correct.
Pre industrial revolution people were tied to the land. This means they had to spend almost all their time working for their local lord who essentially controlled their movements.
The Lord would want to get as much value out of each peasant so he would not tolerate them travelling frivolously away from their community hence there were countless isolated communities all developing different accents from each other.
This certainly was the case in Britain and would probably have been the same throughout medieval Europe.
Yes, before railways I imagine that most of us Brits probably never ventured more than 10 miles from our village and us of the peasant class would have spent most of our lives working in terrible conditions and very very poor.
Spot on comment
The differences are also heavily influenced by invasions from other countries, which often only impacted parts of the UK. A lot of regional words in northern England and Southern Scotland, for example, are old norse words.
"Do you guys always understand each other?" was the funniest moment for me.
The real answer is NO! I'm guessing that the guests thought that she meant each other guest?
Southerners can usually understand every British accent except Geordie and thick Glaswegian!
@@gary.h.turner Scouse and Northern Ireland can be tough at times
@neilbiggs1353 I do struggle with Cornish and country some like Gerald from Clarksons farm or the farmer scene in Hot Fuzz have such a thick accent I can only make out every third word.
In fairness, not everyone does all the time. As a Scot my experience at least has been that people from the south-east of England tend to be the worst, on balance, at understanding other British accents (like broad Geordie, Glaswegian, Scouse etc.). Not sure why.
(I think i've got a pretty good ear for accents - broad Govan like Rab C Nesbitt, Geordie, Scouse, Cockney etc. are all no problem for me - BUT in a pub in Gloucestershire I once had the "Hot Fuzz" experience of speaking to a UK native that I _knew_ was speaking English but still only understanding maybe 1 word in 4. Fascinating and funny to both parties :)
I find it bizarre that Americans think we all speak with one accent, but not as bizarre as Americans who think they don’t have an accent. 😂
Right ? Only came across this idea a few years back and find it utterly baffling. We _all_ have an accent, it's just that accents different to your own stand out more.
(right enough, i've also heard UK natives claim that RP is a "neutral" accent which is almost as bizarre - it's as distinctive an accent as any other, it's just that for a long time it was _defined_ - entirely arbitrarily - to be the "Standard English" accent, despite only being spoken by 3-5% of the population)
I live a couple of hours away from Manchester and I knew all of the words/phrases mentioned because we use a lot of them here as well. Also, even though the UK (England mainly) is so small, you can literally travel 10 minutes away and you'll hear a different dialect or accent. You can't avoid hearing them no matter where you are in the country. I love the range we have here😊
They should have got a Geordie and a Glaswegian...
They need to start by getting people who actually have the accent they are claiming to represent.
Im a Smoggy and to me there were at least three different Geordie accents and one of those I couldn't understand either 😂
@@PaulForeman-indievisuals Yep, Northumbrian, Newcastle, Sunderland, Durhamite and the smoggies. at least.
Yeah let's get a Scot in when talking about English 👍
@@jt5765 Scots isn't a separate language. I live near Glasgow and can understand everything everyone says. They're just speaking English. That "Scots" thing is a myth.
They do struggle to understand me though. I'm a Midlander and they find heavy glottal stopping very difficult to understand.
Americans, totally confided in their bubble, have no idea of other cultures. Very self protected country.
Why do the Americans on this show always sound like they're high
Why use a collective term like “British”, that’s supposed to cover all the cultures and nation of Britain (English, Scottish and the original Brits, the Welsh), instead of using the term “English”?
Why say English when it only covers 3 cities and 3 accents while there are many many more? You might say "because they're all English" but then they're also all British so round and round we go.
I don’t think you grasp the concept of those cities are within one country and part of one culture. Totally different context altogether to Using “British”, but only providing examples of this “Britishness” from only one culture who resides there. As if they are the de facto British people!!! The English adopted the term from the people they call Welsh.
@@taffyducks544 You're missing my point. All of England isn't one culture. Go and have a look. There are parts of England that are considerably closer to Scotland than other parts of the southeast. I call myself Brirtish because I am.
@@sleepcrimeok but british implies more than one british country, this isn’t about cultures, mate, just geography and accents/language stuff
I mean, I broadly agree but the answer is basically "Because this is mostly aimed at Americans" (and to them "British accent _isn't_ the "so broad it's meaningless" category it is for us). They also often - incorrectly, obviously - see "England" as synonymous with "Britain"/"the UK".
(and not to wade into a quagmire - yeah, I know, when has that ever stopped us before :) - but "British", at least as a synonym for "of the UK", also includes Northern Ireland. If people here in the UK have started using "Britain" as a synonym for _only_ "Great Britain" - the name of the big island that doesn't have NI on it - then that's both news to me _and_ confusingly ambiguous so, y'know, we should stop :). I.e. there _is_ no "nation of Britain")
ow bist (thee), Ive heard it used in the Black country, which is a dialect that retains features of Early middle English, so closer to English's Germanic Roots, it contains more words of germanic origin than standard English Also it was less influenced by the great Vowel shift that took place between the 15th & 18th centuries. Bist in German means are
In RP it's always a napkin, never a serviette.
If you want to meet a cockney,you'd struggle to find in our home town.
Most have moved to Essex and Kent.
London is now full of middle class people and foreigners.
It's thought only between 5-15% of Londoners are cockneys,and most of them are older.
Yes, the accent was widely spoken in East Laandan a few decades ago, but RP has swamped the area. I just switch between them depending on how annoyed I am at something.
Why do Americans say "LIKE" a thousand times a day 😅 like like like 😅
UK has the most accents because English has been spoken there the longest. So the language has had much more time to diversify, regardless of how large the land area is or isn't.
I think the lack of any distance of travel for mostly people until probably 50-60 years ago has also lead to a widening of the accents.
Most pepople were born, lived and died within a perhaps 15 mile radius.
@@andrewgarner2224 you need two things for dialect diversity: isolation + time
So yes, your instincts are correct, and that's the other half of what should have been my statement
The "Queens English" or "posh" is Heightened Received Pronunciation, not RP.
Received Pronunciation (RP), the accent she's talking about, is socially a step below Heightened Received Pronunciation, and is associated with the Gentry or middle class. It's very common in the media as well.
Heightened RP is typically associated with the nobility or upper class. (This is not universally true, though. Prince William, for example, speaks mostly in RP, with the occasional Heightened RP and even Estuary accent enunciation.)
Compare the way King Charles speaks with the way Tom Hiddleston speaks and you can really hear the differences between Heightened RP and RP.
RP is also sometimes confused with Estuary, a South-Eastern/London accent which blends elements of cockney and RP. Because Estuary sits on a bit of a spectrum, people with an Estuary accent who lean more towards the RP end of it are often confused with RP speakers by foreigners, but the regional elements always come through, in particular with how they pronounce the T's.
There are actually MANY American accents too. But mass media, particularly with the creation of the unnatural “Midatlantic” accent in the mid-20th century, homogenized many of them to the public view into a couple broad stereotypes.
Indeed. The same thing happened, at about the same time, to _overseas perceptions of_ "British accents" (so Received Pronunciation is what many people from the US think of as _the_ "British accent" when it's only actually spoken by less than 5% of the population BUT because it was seen as "high status" it happened to be how they often spoke in films, on the BBC and in the corridors of power for a long time - for the latter two, still is to some extent - so it's what _we ourselves_ exported to the rest of the world as _the_ "British accent").
Cary Grant for instance was from Bristol so would've originally sounded like the guy on the right (in fact, he has a pretty mild accent so young, working class Archie Leech might've sounded even _more_ "Brizzle" than the chap in the video - maybe like Stephen Merchant for a modern reference) but was firmly "mid-Atlantic" by the time he became a film star.
Serviette is a middle class word, and was an attempt by the new middle classes in the late 18th century to sound more "french" and therefore sophisticated. Napkin would be the more aristocratic and traditional word.
Spot on. I bet she uses "toilet" rather than "lavatory".
In Sheffield when you say ark, as in ark at him, it means listen to.
From the word "hark".
Hark.
As in hark the herald angels sing
Yer, would need someone from every town/city within Gods County. Though there might only be 12 miles between them, there can be a BIG change in accents
So daps is a shared Severn estuary word, commonly used in South Wales, Somerset, Gloucestershire and North Devon showing that certain words are shared widely between different accents (one of which is heavily influenced by a completely different language, Welsh).
I do also find it interesting that a lot of major slang differences revolve around children/youth. A NY Times quiz published a few years ago was able to give a pretty accurate measure of the area you were from based in slang you used and a lot of identifiers were names of children's games (touch/tag, mob/123 home) and terms to do with school (daps/plimsoles/pumps, bunking/mitching/skiving). I guess children's lives are far more localised than adults, so (previously) developed unique local terms (the internet and social media may just kill that off)
"Ark" does not mean "look", it means "listen". It's short for Hark.
Eh, in that context, it's more just pay attention to
@@hakarthemage exactly
English from Lancashire.. Born 1953. Never heard "ow bist" before. Typical greeting " 'ello luv" or " 'ello chuck".
West Country accent is the precursor to the modern standard North American English of today.
The crazy thing about UK accents is that they vary in such a small area. I live in north Manchester and the accent here is slightly different from the way that young woman from Manchester spoke, which sounds more south and central Manchester to me.
I am originally from Durham but grew up in Hebburn, which is on the Tyne just opposite Newcastle. You can usually tell if someone is from north of the Tyne or south just by the way they pronounce the -er on the end of words like 'bigger'. Mind you, nowadays people move around so much that differences are gradually melting away.
Accents vary around Manchester NOT due to which part but more about what kind of people you grow up with. Like, a Salford LAD'S accent is the same as a Wythenshawe LAD'S accent. Or Moston. But someone that went to a posher school, say, and grew up with the same, tend to have softer accents.
@@mana3735 There is a lot in what you say. I have to say my daughter is always going on about plastic Mancs. Lads who imitate the 'sorted, nice one, know what I mean' accent which I associate with further south. However, you're not totally right. Just north of us is Bury and Bolton etc where the accents are more Lancashire. Accents tend not to obey geographic boundaries but change gradually in what is called a 'dialect continuum'. So in parts of Prestwich, Whitefield etc you get a mix of people who sound more Lancashire, more Manchester or a midway accent that is neither.
No, Cockneys say 'f' and 'v', not 's' instead of 'th'. And why are there so many different accents in the 'small' UK? Because it's much older than America.
Yeah, whoever was doing the subtitles messed up. She did say it with an "f".
Saying 'cockney' is an inaccurate term as used in this video.
The entire south east of England speak this way which equates to over half the population of England and probably Britain as a whole.
Cockneys was a term for people born within the sound of Bow bells or a square mile of Central to East London.
The term has also stuck because many British people from other parts of the UK have incorrectly used the word cockney when they should have used the words Londoner or southerner.
The subtitles are usually VERY sketchy on these
Only 70 years older! 1707.
The accents were mostly caused by the great vowel shift. Because the GVS happened over the course of hundreds of years some changes reached some parts of the country others reached different parts. Technically the UK standard southern accent, which is often regarded as the standard English, is the least authentic, because it's the place that underwent the most change. The regional accents that differ from the southern accent are still pronouncing certain things the way they would have been previously.
I got a friend from Manchester. Adam! Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷
The many accents in the UK are due to the influx of various peoples over the last two thousand years, such as the Picts, Scots, Angles, Saxons, Jutes, vikings from Norway, Norman French (1066), the 'great vowel shift' (1300s to 1700s), the impact of the British Empire and illiteracy.
Funny how you don’t mention the “Welsh” OG Brits!
"Daps" were called that because of the sound they make when they were used to smack you on the arse.
We used that word in Wales too.
" 'Ark at ee" comes from "Hark at ye", here in Wales, we'd use " 'ark at ewe" meaning "Hark at you".
She got off lightly here. It would of been different with a scouse, a yam yam and a geordie.
I grew up in north London and then spent my teens in Worcester and Gloucester and had a friend group from Wales, Manchester and Derbyshire. I use slang terms from all over the place, lol. At school in Worcester, back in the 90s, we all used to say "kecks" for "underpants" and I only just discovered that that actually comes from Liverpool, which is weird because I didn't really know any Scousers - I don't know where we got that from, lol. I guess we just pick things up from TV and British music as well - we have a lot of accents, dialects and regional slang but we're also a pretty small island, so we interact with each other all of our lives and so understand each other and pick up bits and pieces too. I sound very Norf London most of the time but I still do a weird thing where I slip into slight West Country with the odd word and use various slang from all over the gaff.
These are all english panelists so English Accents not British Accents
You know where england is right?
I really don't get why some Brits are offended at being called British...
Imagine an American saying 'that's not an American accent it's a Texan accent'
If you want to hear how wildly the accents can vary, Listen to Shaun Ryder and Bez talk. They're from Little Hulton in Salford. Just a few yards down the road is the border, and you cross into Farnworth, Bolton, where Pete Kay is from. It's a short walk. Compare the accents!
"Some people don't say their Ts"; a small correction to a common misconception - it's not that the Ts aren't said in most such accents, but that they are realised as glottal plosives rather than alveolar plosives.
Fun video but the subtitles are misleadingly wrong several times (e.g. 1:01 "British pronunciation" instead of "Received Pronunciation" which actively misrepresents both the literal words and more importantly the _thrust_ of what the leftmost English woman is saying or 1:56 where she correctly points out Cockneys often say "F" instead of "TH" but the subs claim she says "S").
I actually find myself siding and sympathising with the American girl...i'm a born bred Londoner and a strong Cockney..the only slang word in the whole video I've ever used i was telling a story about when i stayed in Lancashire like 5 years ago nearly..and it was vegetarian food for 2 days..and i said in the story..by Wednesday i was Gagging/gaggin for a bacon roll..that one seems countrywide..the northerners constantly use the word brew but i just say cuppa..it comes natural to me..but like them..we know what other slang means..as for most of the slang..a lot of it was meaningless..i got a few only..i dont yravel enough obviously
Slang can be _highly_ region specific and even within regions it can be quite age specific too.
Added to that, though it's been changing in recent decades, England at least (if not the whole of the UK) is still _highly_ "London centric" (in the sense of TV shows, the seat of power, economically etc.) which means those of us outside London hear a lot more of your slang than you do of everyone else's (for instance, as a Scot living in England but never London - certainly not within the sound of Bow bells :) - I have a _fair_ grasp of Cockney rhyming slang just because of films/TV and general cultural permeation in a way that i'm pretty certain _most_ Londoners _don't_ of Scottish or even, frankly, Midlands, west country etc. slang).
Didn’t realise the English were the sole owners of the term British! Here I am supposedly wrong in understanding that the term was coined for the Welsh by the Romans. With Welsh being an Anglo Saxon/English Term.
They aren't and no one said that they were. People need to work on their comprehension.
That’s very much the applied assumption with videos such as these. When you use a collective for multiple cultures but only show subjects from one. It implies they are the only ones who uses that, or can use that term. The term hasn’t been used for singular culture since the English adopted the term from the Welsh.
@@WalesTheTrueBritons You're wrong. I've never refered to myself as English, always British. It doesn't imply we're the only ones who use it anymore than this video implies that these are the only three different accents.
@@sleepcrime Literally _never_ referred to yourself as English ? C'mon, pull the other one, it plays Jingle Bells :).
(I am, of course, assuming you're English - i've never referred to myself as English either but mostly because i'm Scottish :)
@@anonymes2884 Yes, never. If someone asks where I'm from I'd say either the UK, my home town or the city I live in now. I'm British.
There are YT channels showing the origin of US accents going back to the regions of Britain and Ireland The US Southern accent is like the fringes of England but England weakened its accent because of the influence of things like radio, while the US South preserved it.
I was brought up to say Wawturr for water. Yellow was pronounced yallur. Allergic was lurgict, horse was hoss.
My dad spoke like Gerald off of clarksons farm.
Wiltshire language and colloquialism was passed on to the south in America.
Unfortunately Gert here is used wrong. It means big or great. We use it in Wiltshire a few miles away from brizzle.

Throw Glasgow in to it as well as Liverpool
She would lose her mind if she heard someone talking DORIC !!
“Ow bist” - that’s straight from German! “Du bist” = “you are” in German. Probably from Anglo- Saxon. I’d not heard that before, it’s great!
I think it is more like 'wo bist', with wo inverted (ow).
@@giwrgostsiotsios464 That does make sense.
Southern Drawl...Have you not listened to anyone from the West Country?! Also the "Yam Yams" people from the black country in the Midlands Wolverhapton, Walsall etc they say "Alright Y'all".
Being someone from the Southwest of England I hear smatterings of our accent in some of the Southern US Accents.
The reason we have so many different
accents is down to the amount of times we
have been Invaded and the invaders settling in different areas then over time thier language and accents have merged also immigration has played a role...the "Road man" accent being one of them which has basically come out of the Jamaican accent.
When people don't pronounce "T" when talking its called a glottle stop.
If I said "In'um my you", would you know what I was saying...am I stating something or is it a question or even both!? 😁
I come from Wigan in the North West of England more or less equidistant from Manchester and Liverpool, around 18 miles and our old accent / dialect is nothing like either but on the whole its less pronounced now, you do get some really old Wigan speakers (WigginSpeyk) for example ‘aret awreet’ for ‘are you ok’. It cann be spelled differently from area to area but the pronunciation would be very similar.
Why use a collective to describe a singular? Why use the term British for solely the English?
English is also a collective term. For example, all of these accents are English, but these accents are not all of English. Change the word English for British and the statement is just as true. All English accents are British accents.
No! Because the term British is no longer used for any singular culture. It’s no longer used that way, it’s a geographical term only. So using British in this context is a misrepresentation of the island of Britain and it’s multiple cultures and countries. And compounded when you learn the origins of term and who it was coined by and for whom.
My hometown has at least 4 different sounding names depending on the side of the river you come from. One has at least three syllables yet another has just one. The BBC for it has two.
Stuff like " l reckon" is somewhat strongly british , instead of saying " l assume or guess etc is more the american way.
Whilst came to mind as the british way, instead of "while" etc... as being the traditional way of expression.

"Dead sound" is what you hear in an anechoic chamber, isn't it? 😅
England is half the size of California (by area) but has twice the population of that state, so quadruple the population density of California. I think distinct regional accents developed to help with cohesion of local identities. I’m from East Lancashire in the North West of England, which had a lot of small towns that developed around a single industry or large factory during the Industrial Revolution so accents would have become very locally concentrated. Movements of people to follow the work would lead to influences and developments. Then factor in the other two countries in Great Britain - Wales and Scotland - and you have a lot of mixed influence. Ireland adds to the mix. And consider the original major influences - Latin, Celtic, Anglo-Saxon, Old Norse and Norman French - and you have quite a heady brew!
England's population is about 56 million, California's is about 39 million. Even the whole of the UK (about 67 million) is a fair way short of 78 million.
But yep, I agree that accents are _very_ tied up with identity in the UK (moreso than they seem to be in the US as far as I can tell), whether it be regional, socio-economic etc. and I too think that's a big part of why we have so many distinct accents even within quite short distances (e.g. Manchester to Liverpool is only about 40 miles, my auntie - from Glasgow - had a recognisably distinct accent to mine, born and raised about 10 miles west and so on). As the leftmost English woman points out even RP, which is _less_ region specific, is (or at least was), about identifying as "educated" and/or "high status".
I like the way the American girl talks. It’s so relaxing.
Yeah, she has a very chill vibe.
I would not have guessed the guy on the right comes from Bristol!
The RP woman is potentially putting on her accent a bit. And it is unknown fact that serviette is generally used with lower class accents and people and napkin is used by middle and higher class so I think she’s faking it and she’s actually working class.
The first lady thinking she has RP is funny. She is just estuary.
I’m from England and been around many military bases and knew very few of these phrases.

Our accents differed from town to town city to city village even Street to street the influences of the different invaders have moulded the way the accents developed we have had french german Scandinavian whatever languages all the Roman's used in our whistlestop tour of taking over the world we pulled words from all over a lot of the variation is diminishing due to media influence we're all starting to sound the same

"ark" is "listen" not look. Cf: Hark The Herald Angels Sing.
We should bring back the Transatlantic accent
This video it seems is designed to make people believe that the de facto “British” culture and people are the English. The term hasn’t been used as a singular representation of any one culture in Britain for atleast three hundred years. So surely you should have had one person from England, One from Scotland and one from Wales?
Now make a video featuring a New Yorker, a South Carolinan and a Louisianan!
And a Bostonian
@@lieutenantkettch That would be very interesting!
That would indeed be interesting. But part of the implied point of the video is that Bristol and London are about 100 miles apart. From either to Manchester is about 200 miles. And all three locations have many (seriously, _ma-ny_ :) other distinct accents in between.
(and even then, despite the "British" in the title, those are all just within _England_ - in reality the UK as a whole also has a variety of Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish accents too, all within a total area that would fit into Texas more than twice over)
Who would have thought different area different accent (sarcasm)
It’s back to being the Kings English now
Bist is a German word for are, ie Wie bist du? = How are you?
Greetings from Kentucky USA ❤❤❤
Folks tell me I have a weird accent. I was born in Bedfordshire, spent my childhood in Suffolk and now live in Essex. That's 3 very different accents mixed up there, my mates at college called me the posh one 😉
I have a strong R but I'm from East lancashire so it's rare.
dialects - not accents.
When people speak one language (English in this case), but with regional differences in pronunciation, spelling, etc., then they have a dialect. If a person does not speak in their native language (e.g. a Japanese person speaks English), then the person most likely has an accent.
No. The boundaries are _slightly_ blurred but broadly speaking dialect is a superset of accent. Accent is more strictly just about pronunciation, dialect encompasses pronunciation _and_ vocabulary, grammar etc. So having lived in England a long time I don't use many of the Scottish words or grammatical structures I grew up with (elements of a [western lowlands] Scottish _dialect_ of English) but I still speak English with a Scottish _accent_ (pronounced 'R's, short vowels etc.).
(but you're right that a lot of this video was _actually_ about differences in dialect)

different accents because to get to another town you had to walk or be rich enough to own an horse, so we were separated for hundreds of years...its bloody obvious if you just think about it. So you think there there as always been cars? cars are new
Same in the US surely, except that it is much more spaced out, and even today, it takes about 6 hours by car or 9 hours by train to get from Los Angeles to San Francisco, or about an hour by plane. Travel that sort of distance from the South of England, and you end up in a place where they speak a completely different language like French or German.

Is "tiss-yew" really how "tissue" is pronounced in RP??? Huuuh
Yep, true of a lot of those "'ss'/'c' in the middle" words so "speciality", "appreciation" etc. are the same. Most of us from the UK have a "sh" sound in there but if you listen to someone like e.g. Stephen Fry they'll usually pronounce it as the woman in the video demonstrates.
(of course accents change so it could well be that younger people using RP are starting to drift away from that)
Is that American girl high, or drunk or something?
Nothing worse than an english person who says their accent is RP

These three are not good samples of accents, they all sound middle class with hints of an accent.

They are, should just use “English” accents in the description. It’s almost as if they want people to believe that the English are Thee British when they are in just one culture of three that can use the term. With the English being the last to adopt it.
