English Accents & Dialects of the British Isles Impressions

[TravisMarler]

@1vnman @1vnman Actually, yes, it does. I had sources for you, but unfortunately you can't post links in YouTube comments. But you can look it up in the Oxford English Dictionary, the Merriam-Webster dictionary or, well, any other dictionary, because this is pretty much common knowledge.

[BLUELITE2WHY]

[bryant1996123]

[W00LFY100]

[TheSchemer1]

[lavishdivine]

/watch?v=5Re7Jj8V0ZI

[CornishGirlQueenBee]

Hilarious! You really nailed the Burnley and Blackburn accents - made me roar with laughter. I'd like to hear a proper breakdown of Devon and Cornwall, which has many variations. Thanks for posting!

[BanjoMan1916]

Your British accents are brilliant and north of ireland one is ok but im afraid your Irish one needs work. Don't worry. I haven't met anyone who does a good Irish accent. Dublin, Cork, Louth, Kerry, Tipp, Limerick etc

[lucianarg30]

This should have many more views :)

[buzzinbuzzinbuzzin]

Yorkshire's the best

[Superphilipp]

Where is part two?

[pompeytrue657]

[mrfoozy47]

1. Turn on transcribe audio beta

2. Laugh your motherfucking ass off

3. thank me once you catch your breath

[purersternenstaub]

Thumbs up if you clicked on the video and thought "OH MY GOD IT'S ROWAN ATKINSON!" :-)

[rafadasilvafan]

@purersternenstaub do you even know who Rowan Atkinson is or looks like? Because that looks nothing like Rowan Atkinson

[JordoF6]

im from rural parts of ireland i dont talk like that lol.

[feisty1uare]

the first irish accent sounds like dara o brian lol

[edward00131]

East Anglian?

Even that's quite diverse if you were to compare the Essex accent to a Norfolk.

Norfolk and Suffolk accents always seem to be missed out on videos like this, despite being so big in comparison to the rest of England

[igeorgiasims]

ahaa im from derby, you got the accent right but my auntie says aye up my duck! :L :')

[VividGraffiti]

u could have done south and north wales accent, lol FWA! WDL!

[ltsaint911]

You forgot Hampshire. Probably could've given Essex and the black country a mention as well.

[smarki81]

@ltsaint911 He didn't forget, it just wasn't worth mentioning them :P

[kyototakeshi1]

lol your yorkshire dialect is mint, sounds similar to jimmy saville

[BlackInBlueBand]

wooo. im from berkshire

[JLP228]

My name's John Coal HAHAHAHAA

[TopGooner87]

[TheChefKev]

Center Scottish is easiest to understand for a German Idiot like me ;)

[PaigeEleanorRobinson]

howling when you did the essex accent :')

[HowNot2DoStufff]

your a twat do the black country accent you turd BIRMINGHAM ISNT THE BLACK COUNTRY YOU DAFT SCOTTISH TWAT

[univocalic]

Briliiant! Next time, please, could we have a Hartlepool accent to contrast with a Middlesbrough one, and then a Whitby and Scarborough accent? There are even recognisably different intonations between these places (e.g  Grosmont and Brotton). I can recognise these but I couldn't replicate them. You could. What an education it would be! Thanks for this posting.

[trapet31]

somebody tell this dick that Tipton is NOT in Birmingham

[smarki81]

@trapet31 its not exactly a millinon fucking miles away though, is it!!!

[trapet31]

@smarki81 but people who live in Tipton sound completely different to brummies and its a very big insult to call a yam yam a brummie ,because its the black country not Birmingham.

[trapet31]

@smarki81 might as well be ,It's a big insult to call a yam yam a brummie,the black country accent is completely different from the brummie one.

[nirvanalove2k7]

i dont like your shirt...

LO_NSDA(P)_LE

[GummyAnimalThings]

GINGER MEN.

Hahahaha xD

[SandyBeaverCrack]

"Ayee up! My name's Rashid.. and I'm from Bradford!"

[WassupFootballFinest]

@SandyBeaverCrack

And I can play cricket for Yorkshire!

Haha

[zafadadynamic]

Ha, funny as hell!

[PinkkElephantt]

rofl loved the devon xD

[StardustEuphoria]

this is fucking shit, what happened to the old one that was well better, and how come he stereotypes only Manchester out of all the cities, not all people from Manchester are drug taking arseholes who are obsessed with the Gallagher brothers, Jesus.

[NiallHoranIsAmazing]

his crappy manchester accent sounds more scouse than his scouse one and his yorkshire accents pretty shite.

[AWashingMachine]

Dara O'brien much? :P

[LiamNuinseann]

"British Isles" - what sort of person uses this term now? It belongs to the dark ages of British colonial rule over the Irish people. Claiming the Irish as "British" is just a hangover from British jingoism throughout the centuries. Even a slight awareness of Irish people's views, and how the term is avoided in Ireland, would make this clear.

[earnshaw24]

Good video

Wales has loads of accents itself though

[Skoojoo]

i finally learned something about modern Britain, you dont learn that shit in the American school system.

[venkm]

That West Yorkshire asian thing isn't very nice really. Also, his Lancashire accent is poor. His scouse isn't amazing, but to be fair overall he's dead good.

[MegaMegaAlex]

lol i had a welsh teahcer called jones xD...fucking bastard actually...

[hadassah179]

I wish he'd hold the map up or place it on the wall where u can see it for the entire video.

[CelticKraut]

How could you not have Portsmouth!?

[JebusJack]

7:08-7:13 Vicky Pollard from Little Britain! YES!!!!!!!!!!

[redzool]

So funny, thanks for this.. I'm an Essex lad but i think I'm a bit of old Essex with some new.. anyways great video and i like it... long live the British Isles :-)

[projectpaki]

did he just say "wigger"?

[ImHomeAtLast]

sum of dem is bout your culchure innit. haha hilarious

[NewAccountFFS]

Dudley have an accent almost same as Birmingham ;) There's Shropshire etc as well in west midlands.. thought about doing videos for every single accept in Britain

[PumpkinEskobarr]

I swear, most of the British west indies had have been settled mainly by the Scottish. Because when I hear some of the Scottish accents it sounds exactly how my family from Barbados speak. (Except we don't roll rrrrr's)

[tryingtobeawriter]

Derbyshire accent leaves a lot to be desired. also what has he got against the midlands?

:)

[iamtheclay]

Jones The Rugby plays the rugby. LMAO

[rodgie2k8]

we dont speak like that in Blackburn , yeah the burnley accent was good

[Supertomiman]

i like the full version a lot better than the cut one

[Szaam]

Ay up, my name's Rasheed and I'm from Bradford

XD

[kibbsy]

This guy is a little homophobic and racist but it's very intresting.

[TheSchemer1]

@kibbsy IS IT CAUSE HE IS WHITE BLAD

[JDizz9]

get an 'ull one on there mate

[michealomainin]

That was pretty good!

[spartanchipmunk]

@TheForwardGaze dont start talking about how we should go build an empire because as i remember, the british had the biggest empire in human history, controling over a quarter of the world, and if the french hadnt saved you asses then you would still be controlled by britain. oh and if your looking for oil, try the gulf of mexico. american cunt.....

[rafadasilvafan]

lol at the chav one

[benn1182]

"Let's go south of the North, to...the midlands. Ow, scary!"

Looooooooool

[TheForwardGaze]

Quite bizarre. To hear english spoken properly you'll have to go to the U.S.

[rafadasilvafan]

@TheForwardGaze the english invented english so yanks dont speak proper english why dont you yank cunts fuck off and find your own damn language

[TheForwardGaze]

@rafadasilvafan International aircraft communications use American English because the Yanks created international air travel. Most international business transactions are carried out in American English, because the American empire controls all of the world's oceans and most of its oil. Britain might want to stop following the Yanks around the world feeding off their crumbs and build their own empire, then you can reclaim your former language. Until then you're just another backwater.

[lucianarg30]

@TheForwardGaze

Nice one ;)

[IGotMonkeysInMyGrill]

@rafadasilvafan Because "finding" an entire new language for the sake of a new language is a waste of time. If Americans didn't speak English you would be complaining about how they threw away their great English heritage.

[stfuCHAR]

@penny167 I hate that! In movies anyone from England speaks "proper".

I don't know anyone who actually speaks like that! then again.. i'm from bristol, so nobody can even understand us...

[xxfudgexx123]

im from wolverhampton, but i used to live in birmingham, lol ive never heard anyone from birmingham speak as bad as that :P, they actually speak worse in wolverhampton....the liverpool one made me laugh XD alot of my family are from there,....really good video, but the birmingham one is a bit strong :P

[portsmouthprincess]

this is soo good. but u missed out portsmouth :( but it made me laugh as it was brilliant

[xmintyx13]

Omg, lad, your scouse accent was terrible but hilarious XD You're accents are really good though overall, this scouser approves :)

[AirdrieUnitedDaft]

the Newcastle one made me laugh it sounds so like it

[chanhym]

very cute~ accents made language more interesting~

[Tokinkahmun]

You missed out nottingham!

[idksmf]

i love thissss

[KrisFromNorway]

Lol, there's more than one Welsh accent :')

[xfobxmcrxfanx]

lol @ liverpool

[seanieshoe]

Tipton is not in birmingham, they are from the black country. he could of explained the difference between brummies and yam yam's

[cianazzaftw]

hahaha liverpool

[Weirdfilms33]

Lancashire fail

[YELLEY13]

he go the derby accent wrong but its still funny

[Deathbringer135]

lol he got lancashire wrong

[helensmithhy95]

im from the west lancashire, and i dont know speak like that but the brummie accent is so funny haha

[7t8h4z]

Even though I am American, I got a good laugh at your video. I'm sure you are aware that in America, people make fun of each otehr's accents too.  It's a great American pastime! Thanks for your video.

[ExaltedBNP]

This is funny, great upload.

Someone somewhere will find this offensive, it's just the way the world is today, Too many left wing Fascists.

5 stars

[MrSovetski]

@ExaltedBNP

Fascism is right-wing, you tool.

[ExaltedBNP]

@MrSovetski Your comment just says it all really, If you had a brain you wouldn't of wrote it.

Wake up to yourself.

[MrSovetski]

@ExaltedBNP

Technically, by the political compass, fascism is right-wing (a branch of authoritarian).

[ExaltedBNP]

@MrSovetski Left Wing is the new Fascism or haven't you noticed that yet?

[ExaltedBNP]

@MrSovetski Don't try to expose Authoritarianism or Totalitarianism to me as i'm not interested in a Communists view

[MrSovetski]

@ExaltedBNP

How stereotypical. Expected from a racist, but stereotypical nonetheless.

[ExaltedBNP]

@MrSovetski That's the pot calling the kettle Black, you're stereotyping me as a racist why? I haven't made one racist comment or is because i support the BNP? You don't know me, don't ever call me a racist I am a Nationalist!

You sure you're a communist? you sound like a Marxist

[MrSovetski]

@ExaltedBNP Haha. Nationalism promotes the idea of one nation be greater than any other/another. You can't deny that "your" country (somehow it gains ownership just because your parents decided to have sex here) is something which you take pride in. Pride also leads to hate as we'd never pick anything else other than that. Surely the BNP advocate this, do they not? If you're proud of being British, you must be proud that you're not of another nationality?

Christ... Marxism is a branch of it.

[NewAccountFFS]

@MrSovetski Why do you look at everything so black and white? Pride for your nationality doesn't mean your glad you weren't born somewhere else, it's literally taking pride in where you were born. All my family for centuries have been born in England, even if I was born in let's say.. France, I'd still be English by blood, unless my rather large family tree is fake of course.

[ExaltedBNP]

@MrSovetski You've nothing better to do then just log in you tube and just troll on peoples videos. Do yourself and others a favor and delete your account.

Pfft Communism, ain't worth a wank!

[joshwalon]

@ExaltedBNP Well please do clarify because I understand my country's history completely!

Just because The English and all settled and immigrated to the states and all that bullshit doesn't make me English. Infact we have more Hispanics in the US than English. We have more Polish and Irish and German. That makes my heritage of so and so decent but I live and was born in America, I speak with an American accent, I am American. Infact, I'm Native American.

[brannify]

@ExaltedBNP Capitalism sucks

[LiamIstKrieg]

@ExaltedBNP Sorry but BNP is glorified racism. It's not up for argument, I've studied it and if you disagree I think you should aswell.

It attracts the uneducated with the false tinsel of "Britsh pride", but it's nothing but racism.

[NewAccountFFS]

@LiamIstKrieg ...So everyone who's a proud Brit is uneducated? I don't support the BNP, nor would I support any form of nationalism, but everyone from every country has every right to be proud of that.

[miacrow2]

@ExaltedBNP left wing fascists? lolwut

[ExaltedBNP]

@miacrow2 You're a Yank, like you will ever understand

[miacrow2]

@ExaltedBNP

i'm actually not

[ExaltedBNP]

@miacrow2 i was expecting that answer, i'm waiting for the "I got european blood running through my veins speech" heard it all before

[miacrow2]

@ExaltedBNP

well, though i do actually have some "european blood running through my veins", my home/place of birth is not part of the us, thus I am not a "yank"

[ExaltedBNP]

@miacrow2 Who in America is American? Come on get real mate. Going back to Fascism, how about you do a bit of travelling about it might open your eyes up a bit.

[miacrow2]

@ExaltedBNP most of the people in america are american. you assumed i was something that i am not and are now making a feeble attempt to cover up your mistake. now you are assuming that i have not traveled. again, you are wrong.

[joshwalon]

@ExaltedBNP I'm in America and I'm American... I don't understand your argument here.

[Triplesod]

@joshwalon Anything (and I do mean "thing") with "BNP" in the title deserves no attention at all, mate.

If you do understand them, you're sadly beyond repair. Do yourself a favour and stay away from anything "BNP" and you won't go far wrong, mate.

[joshwalon]

@Triplesod Yeah haha you're probably right about that lol.

[devtherevLS]

@ExaltedBNP I agree with your point even though you have 'BNP' in your name...

[ExaltedBNP]

@devtherevLS There is no other Nationalist Party, so I choose to support the BNP

[TheCritRocket]

@ExaltedBNP

>left wing facists

>This guy is pretty fun-

>BNP

That makes sense.

[ExaltedBNP]

@TheCritRocket It's funny I always get silly comments from Americans, the bane of your country's existence is Multiculturalism where as multiculturalism has never worked and will never work here in the UK.

I do admire Americas Patriotism, Patriotism is seen as racism here England do you know that?.

Open your eyes, Left wing is the new Fascism!

[TheCritRocket]

@ExaltedBNP Patriotism and being a bigot are two different things.

[ExaltedBNP]

@TheCritRocket what a strange little outburst from you.

I am not a bigot I am a Nationalist & a Realist. What you fail to realize is In todays world its fashionable to hate anything that represents any sign of Patriotism maybe not in the US, ever been to the UK?

Just because I don't agree with your views doesn't make me a bigot.

[RetroMute]

Why was this taken down? The original version?

[GaijinGDB]

Probably offended some Muslims :P!

[skullboy1990]

@GaijinGDB why would this annoy muslims? ya half wit

[GaijinGDB]

Muslims always get their nickers in a twist whenever anyone has a bit of fun at their expense, and as such I made a tongue in cheek comment - ya half wit. Obviously you are too dense to see the humor of it!
