A tour of the British Isles in accents.
Received pronunciation is the great
communicator as soon as you deviate from that and you
go into London speech for example then you lose a little bit of the
communication. cockney is based on East Anglian Suffolk, Norfolk, Cambridgeshire, this is
often by actors confused with the West Country
where the R’s come in and then you get Dorset and Somerset get into Cornwall.
Devon’s slightly different it goes into the nose bit more like that then you go up north to Yorkshire it’s nice
if you get a word that’s got one on the predominant
sounds in it like yark sheer then you cross the Pennines into Lancashire
where he gets much more flexible and fluid in the mouth Liverpool is there too, you know, it’s
Scouse it’s a mixture of all kinds of sounds one of
those is Northern Irish with the rising
inflections but you don’t get the rising
inflections down in Dublin where it has that poetic quality which is
sometimes thought of as being not different from
Highland speech which is also quite poetic and almost
Scandinavian and then you come down to Glasgow and
into the Lowlands of Scotland where you get glottal stops and things like that.
Then you come down the west coast and you’re in Wales, North
Wales where it’s breathy like that and down
into South Wales where you get much heavier and Welsh people who sometimes even sound a bit drunk.

No geordie. Shame
amazing
Really thought he would do more of the Irish accents. Like as soon as you hit the west or south west the pronunciation goes crazy. Mind you he has very flexible vocal chords though.
1:06 Sir Alex is that you?
If you're not from liverpool its impossible to speak with the accent
not Staffordshire ;-;
Why does everyone forget the isle of man
Why do I really love the Irish accent lol
Apparently the north east of England doesn’t exist
Glasgow (glasgae)
I live in devon!
I will reclaim the north as i am proudly irish. Frick england from stealing my country. Fuck the british rulers.
This hurts my brain.
What happened to southeast england?
North East? wheres geordie?
It’s funny how you could drive 30 minutes in England and encounter a whole new accent while in America you’ve spent the last hour in highway traffic
Channel Islands: Am I a joke to everyone?
I’m disappointed you didn’t go to Birmingham and start shouting “YOU SENT THE MESSAGE FIRST, YEAH. I LIVE IN SMETHICK BIRMINGHAM”
He sounded like Sean Bean when he did a Yorkshire impression
whyyyy youtube :"))
cambridgeshire was wrong 🙁 we sound completely different to the rest of east anglia but u did ok lmao
hi
Ahhh Yorkshire, the accent of the Starks
Where is the geordie accent
Forgot Geordie and Brummy. And To hear Cumbrian would have been nice. Although I'm a few select both and raised in Cumbria have It.
How is a Dublin accent British?
Liverpool was the only shit one
Everyone gets Yorkshire wrong and I won't lie, it pisses me off.
Hahahah fuck yis all orange coats
That was the greatest thing I've ever seen
The Yorkshire accent is the best
the british isles is it? prick got me balaclava on already ready to go the war with u lot again were are the the republic of ieland not the british cunting isles
Should've done Birmingham
and here we are in the west country and lets just real quick skip the entire midlands and here's yorkshire.
now I can communicate with my camp counselors in their native accents
Do one from the states
Funny how he sounds convincing until he gets to YOUR town? The scouse is way off. not mix – ture, it is more mix – tair.
Idk Sheffield accent is my fave
I’m from Barry in vale of Glamorgan and people do sound like that
Why is Cumbria always forgotten about lol
The drunk part at the end made me laugh out loud!
why do the English continue to butcher the Northern Irish accent so badly
You miss the whole of the Midlands you fool.
I'm french, and i didnt see any difference. So you anglos are all the same. Welsh, anglos, scottish and irish people are all the same.
Fuck sake. Can anyone who is not from Liverpool, stop trying to do a Scouse accent please. No matter how good you think you are…you aren’t good,
What about the midlands im tired of us never being mentioned wtf. You didn’t have to include the other countries just to do one on England
That Liverpool accent was so shit
I sound nothing like a South Western
And I'm from Wiltshire
I'm from South Wales, but moved up to Yorkshire as a kid, but moved back down as an adult because of of the drink. Alreet boyo!

2019 GOTTA WATCH THIS RIGHT FCKN NOW!!!!
The Northern Irish one was better than most people but still quite bad in all honesty
The Yorkshire accent is just the Lancashire accent on ketamine
I can't believe you missed the Boston accent.
A small Lincolnshire market town that inexplicably has its own accent that sounds like nothing you hear anywhere else in the UK.
South Wales sounds like Kester
lısten here you lilly liveted fuck. you missed geordies. you wont forget this. i will come for you
Very clever
No matter who tries to do an irish accent they can never get it quite right.. always sound like that generic american leprechaun, who is always concerned about his lucky charms
Wait so where is Eric Idle from
Why did I watched this, Youtube Algorithms??? Is it because it's hilarious?
No commentary on the North East of England? Tsk tsk. Some of Britain's most distinct accents.
North Wales accent was off. Its more nasal and sounds a little bit like chester/ liverpool.
i love you phillip have my kids
South wales sounded almost exactly like Rhod Gilbert. Eerie.
You got the Yorkshire one really wrong
That's the worst scouse accent I've ever heard 😂😂
Ireland has two accents in this and neither one is accurate
People born in London for the past maybe 20-30 years have spoken MLE not the accent in this video.
Didn't realise Dublin was part of the British isles🙄
Where’s Geordie?
This is probably one of the most accurate representation of the religion accents, like nearly 1:1 for every accent. Eventually someone that nailed a genuine northern Irish, Irish and different Scottish accents. Something a lot of people (even those that can impersonations) struggle with and go into the Micheal Myers territory for the Scottish
I find it quite amazing sometimes that in the UK you can go on a 40 min train ride and people will sound different on the other side. Though I do wonder how much of our regional accent heterogeneity will survive the next few decades given so many young people are moving-around and relocating around the country for work…
God that's clever. I wish I could change accents that quickly, as well as do the accents in the first place.
Mancunian is the best accent and you forgot it u racist!
Your scouse is awful 😩
Swear his Irish accent just sounded like Dara O'Brien
Scouse wasn’t very good
Fucking rubbish! :p LOL
We need more of these
What about Kent….
Christ, Cornwall was accurate
Source: I'm cornish
…and down here where Welsh people sound a bit DRUNK *video cuts off*.
He opted to stay clear of two massive swathes of the country, The Midlands (Birmingham) and The North East (Sunderland). Maybe his Brummie and Mackem aren't up to scratch.
ignored the north east. just like the government do. hahaha
Fantastic content
Poetic quality? Dublin accents are the worst accent i have ever heard.
Typical! Must be a southerner, only went as far north as Yorkshire. You know there is still some England between Yorkshire and Scotland. Then again if you ask Boris he says he doesn't care about anything further north than Manchester
South wales? Lived there my whole life, only real welsh accents I've heard are from welsh language teachers from northern wales
Forgot about Brummie, Geordie,Posh and Roadman accents
The entire north east of England appears to have fallen off the map
I like how every one of these videos forgets Cumbria
You mean to say some welsh people don’t sound drunk?
Ireland is not part of the British Isles
Where … the fuck… was Manchester
Much of Scottish speech is influenced by the Norse folks especially with slang words used in the Scots tongue like Bairn for baby, Noo for now, alane for alone and a whole bunch of other words mostly dying in Scotland now. The regional accents in Scotland will pretty much be gone in the next 20 – 40 years. The Irish(Rep) and much of the North of Scotland is hugely influen Ed by those funky Norse men.

as a dubliner i can say you are 100 percent correct, but i'm disappointed you gave up the chance to talk about the cork accent
and this shows up in the youtube reccomendations in 2019 because why??????????????????????
All that variation in an area 1/3rd the size of Texas
All these people complaining that he skipped places, i’m just amazed he got all these so well.
