  • Middlesbrough!!!! To be honest I don't think we sound Yorkshire at all.

  • interview with millen eve - true yorkshire accent you tube that

  • @MrBurty5 Awwww, it's nice to see someone else who knows that video! I discovered it about a year or so ago and it's been one of my favorite videos ever since! Isn't she just lovely? ^_^

  • LOL Whats with the beat!? XD

  • i am learing about this in school

  • 1.27 made me rofl! thats how i say it :D

  • Wow. Not helpful at all if you're trying to learn a yorkshire accent. :-\

  • Barnsley accent is the best.

  • Wi av a reyt accent gooin up ere in north. :p

  • I'm from York - I'm told I have a proper Yorkshire accent, but if I listen to my videos I don't think I sound Yorkshire-ish.

  • @Jonnyriffic im from selby just downt road, believe me we do. i work in a call centre and i get "oooh your from yorkshire all the time"

  • I think "The Mayor of Casterbridge" says it best when it comes to accents and culture: Britain is a continent, and each mile a geographical degree.

  • can i just say i love the british?

  • love the accent. and is that muse in the background :)

  • I love the way they pronounce "oonder," lol. My friend is from yorkshire, that's what inspired me to look this up.

  • no one from boro says,In "T" carpark? we say its in the ca-paark

  • speak up

  • while our older generation consider themselves yorkshiremen, the majority of middlesbrough associate themselves with teesside and the north east (I know I do). I have never heard a smoggie pronounce "in the car park" as "in car park".

  • I was talking to a Swede in the late 80s about the glottelstop ( sorry cant spell it) . He was amazed because he told me that it was also used by country folk in old Sweden and has only recently died out. Do you think there a link to the Vikings with this dialect ?

  • @ALBIONTYKE yes old norse danish

  • Cor blimey! Good show, chaps!

    :P

  • Middlesbrough still is in Yorkshire/ North Yorkshire. However it doesn't fall under the EU region "Yorkshire and Humber", it is in "North East England" instead.

  • Go Sheffield

  • Oh dear, when he said 'In't car park' I felt so embarassed because that's how I say it XD

  • @CharlotteC94 Oh, please please don't! All accents are beautiful!!

  • @CharlotteC94 lol me too

  • @CharlotteC94 Haha, I know. It's embarassing, ain't it?

  • @CharlotteC94 What? "In't car park"? I'm confused.

  • @CharlotteC94 I like you! :)

  • Go sheffield <3

  • @M4x3dPK3r Wooo yeah! :D

  • Daddy is pronounced, Daaaaaaaa Deeeeeee in Yorkshire.

  • GO LEEDS!!

  • lolol in't car park ;)

  • Im from North Yorkshire, and i would say the presenter is from Middle England, maybe near london or something. Dunno :P He sounds very neutral.

  • The accent of Sean Bean, born in Sheffield, is definately my favourite.

    Can any english native tell which accent gets the announcer of this video ? I like his too.

  • GO NORTHALLERTON!!!!

  • Middlesbrough isn't a city. It's just a town!

  • The presenter is wrong to say m'boro is no longer in yorks as it is in the ceremonial county of north yorks, same as york. I totally disagree with Nuclear Snail the Middlesbrough accent has much in common with a large part of northern yorkshire, I regularly go to Middlesbrough from where I'm from in Thirsk and the accent is much the same, certainly more yorkshire than geordie. You can occasionally detect the county durham accent however.

  • off to't' shop on't' push iron fot, poork pies lad

  • Do they have indian accents?

  • LOL!!

  • I have a prop'a Leeds accent, and proud :)

  • Lol, I dont have any accent :( But whatever lol. orateee! xD

  • Who would want to subscribe to this shit

  • Thank you for your opinion.

  • @lufc08lufc If it's so shit, why watch their videos DUH!

  • ye never noticed me sen but your rate int car park

  • woop sheffiled my hometown:)

  • I think the middlesbrough accent is far too distinctive from a generic yorkshire accent to be grouped under the umbrella of yorkshire. I would argue that it's far more similar to a geordie accent with a bit of a scouse edge.

    I am from middlesbrough.

  • smog

  • I'm confused.

    Is it 'in the car park' or 'in car park'?

  • We can comment on the point. But we will wait for a week to see if our fellow YouTube users want to give their opinions.

  • in't car park

  • can be either, depending on the context.

  • We are the guilty party. This is a short version of our 'Yorkshire Speech 1', meaning we have cut the Mr Robinson's talk into just the 'car park' part in order to present a Yorkshire accent. Actually it is the part where he says, "So instead of saying the word the, speakers will make a noise in the back of the throat, its called a glottal stop, they will say t. continue..

  • ..2nd part; So, for instance, where in other parts of the UK and in standard English, you will get on the bus, in Yorkshire you will get on t bus and the word the becomes a t sound. And again, this is something that if ever a native speaker of British English hears somebody saying on t bus, in t car park not in the car park, then they will immediately associate this speaker with Yorkshire or possibly another northern county like Lancashire." Everyone, spot on, well done!

  • I see. Thanks.

    So, technically, it's 'in the car park', just that 'the' becomes a t sound.

    Because writing 'in car park' just doesn't seem to be grammatically correct.

    Would love to see the whole video though.

  • We posted a reply to your comment yesterday. Cannot see it. YT has many bugs and it is one of them. Some comments come up several days later just on a comment section which is difficult to spot. We wonder others may have lost for ever. We will try to comment again next week.

  • We still cannot post a comment. If you are patient, please keep watching the space.

  • It seems to have something to do with a word 'url'.

  • Good news! We have changed our programme schedule for our own channel, kaiwanoshima, on our server, not YT, which is on our YT profile. We are going to edit a Yorkshire Speech Special and will show it in January 2010 because we liked the comment very much. Hope you enjoy it.

  • I'm from Asia and I've been to Yorkshire, paticularly Middlesbrough and I loved it. The people are polite and civilised and I think those few wayward londoners should consider bringing up their children here. It's a beautiful place and I think more people from around the world should be here alongside London. Oh Britain, I miss you.

  • The way he says car park is somewhat Australian I reckon.

  • Interesting! One of our own American friends has made a similar comment off the record. And we have told Mr Robinson about that. He replied, "That's the first!" I suppose that it should be the other way round ie Australians might sound like him. Thank you very much for your comment!!

  • Severus snape is from yorkshire!

  • L double E D S (h)

    morley !!

  • interesting, but the point of the clip is perhaps to hear the accents rather than a home county accent discussing them?

  • Yes, this is a very short version of our Yorkshire accent series.

  • woo lol WOOO Leeds

  • im from middlesbrough!

  • meee tooo!! whoooo!

  • Leeeeeds, brap brap

  • Leeds Woo :D

  • Leeds Leeds Leeds!!!!

  • I wish I had a Yorkshire accent instead of a boring Canadian one :(

  • :O You are crazy haha. I want a canadian accent! Have my Hull accent xD

  • And I'm from Whitby :P

  • Im From Leeeeds =D!!

  • Lucky you

  • HOT FUZZ !!!!!

  • i is yorkshire, hehe i talk like dis x

  • Actually not meaning to be fussy but Yorkshire is actually four counties as of 1974.

  • what do people from leeds sound like? lmaoo

  • We have not filmed in Leeds yet. Can anyone help us? Oh, meaning e.g. by posting a video response, by the way.

  • im from whitby and i dont know many people who talk as the man on the video talking about the car park talked

  • Thank you very much for your comment. You may be hitting the point concerning the current situation in Whitby. As we had prepared our filming trip to the area, we were advised that there should not be many people who were originally from Whitby. The gentleman you are referring to was born and raised in Whitby. However his parents did not speak 'Whitby'. But the point of the film is to present an example of 'typical Yorkshire accent'.

  • im from northallerton and i sometimes get asked if im fromm manchester as our accent is half boro/half rural yorkshire and must sound slightly manc for some reason

  • excuse me, my attention is to british actor Mark Addy. I heard his own voice a lot of time recently he is from York but his accent is different ....I don't know how I can put this I mean I heard different people from York but Mark Addy keep different accent definitelly. I think he did to ruin this one playing for years in USA changing his own accent to american one.

  • I will give him credit: When he played in the Full Monty, he put on a very credible Sheffield accent. Robert Carlyle did ok, but was still a bit mild.

    BTW, in the film 'Brassed Off', many yorkshire folk were used as extras and in bit parts. Their accents were natuarlly enough quite strong, so they were dubbed in the US version of the film.

  • IM From redcar Likke Neer Boro

  • What would you say about your accent?

  • Sheffield is the best!!!!

  • Boro accents got nowt to do with yorkshire accent. Two differant things altogether. And this guy is wrong middlesbrough is still in yorkshire.

  • We think 'this guy' is right.  What made you say this? Honestly we'd like to listen to your opinion in details. We're interested!

  • Historically it was part of North Yorkshire, in 1968 the town became the centre of the County Borough of Teesside, which was absorbed by the non-metropolitan county of Cleveland in 1974. In 1996 Cleveland was abolished, and Middlesbrough became a unitary authority, within the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire.

  • middlesbrough is in cleveland

  • I live in a place called Wakefield, near Leeds.

    I have to say i enjoyed this video, i think you know a lot about what your talking about Kaiwanoshima. Good job. =]

  • I live in Wakefield too woo lol great to finally see a proper video on accents

  • someone has to live in Wakefield lol

  • i live in wakefield

  • This is a comment to Google. The location for 'Whitby' on the Google maps is wrong. It should be near the position where we put the balloon on the map for our trailer video 'Yorkshire Accent'. Of course it is difficult find the exact point in this way.

  • I'd like to get a Yorkshire accent.
