First of all… Great Britain has TONS of different accents and each accent has its own different dialects it just depends on where you go it’s not all just “pip pip cherrio” here’s a map of all the different accents and dialects
3
Received Pronunciation doesn’t belong to any specific region stereotypical English accent the ‘r’ at ends of words aren’t pronounced (ex: mother sounds like ‘muthuh’) certain ‘a’ words, like bath and can’t, are pronounced with a broad ‘a’ less than 2% of england speaks this very “proper”like the queen unlike other accents/dialects, you can’t really tell where a person is from when you hear this accent it’s often found in movies such as Pride and Prejudice queen lizzy what a cute lil old lady you go hehehe she looks evil here what
4
Cockney origin: east end of London vowel shifts: words like ‘day’ sound like ‘die’ and ‘buy’ sounds like ‘boy’ words like ‘do’ sound like ‘dew’ the letter ‘t’ isn’t really pronounced, so ‘better’ sounds like ‘be-ah’ the ‘l’ at the ends of words often turns into a ‘w’ (pal pow) ’th’ words become super weird: -thing fing -this dis -mother muvuh ”raised vowels”: ‘trap’ sounds like ‘trep’ you go gavroche what a cutie yaaas vive la revolución
5
Estuary English found mostly in southeast England it’s slowly creeping upward though it’s sort of equivalent to the ‘general American’ accent similar to cockney they do not have weird ‘th’ words though and they don’t have weird raised vowels other than that, it’s pretty similar russell brand wow so punk gordon ramsay I would put swearing here but that’s not allowed so…
6
Scouse Northwest England they think it came from Ireland, but no one is sure found mainly in Liverpool ’t’ is often left off the ends of words ’that’ ‘tha’ they also roll their r’s a lot ”made up” means happy or pleased that’s weird ’foot’ and ‘strut’ sound the same ’t’ at the beginning of words becomes ‘ts’ ’tree’ ‘tsree’ what are you doing their hand motions describe this accent not really but yeah beatles > life wow cutie hi I love scouse accents
7
Mancunian Northwest England (found in Manchester) kind of similar to scouse but it’s not as weird the ‘r’ at the end of words is not pronounced the vowels in words such as ‘foot’ are pronounced like ‘strut’ ’t’ at the end of words isn’t pronounced ’t’ in the middle of words isn’t pronounced ’h’ is left off the beginning of words and ‘g’ is left off the end -’hanging’ ‘angin’ Davy Jones, lead singer of The Monkees, not the pirate captain *awkward smile*

Geordie Northeast England ’r’ at the end of words is not pronounced words like ‘kite’ sound like ‘kate’ ’about’ can sound like ‘aboot’ when a preposition comes before a word with a vowel, a ‘v’ is often added to the end - ‘into a tin’ ‘intiv a tin’ it’s weird, I know also, consonants such as ‘p, t, and k’ are pronounced weirdly Sting like a bee bzzzzz that’s his name he’s not actually a bee duh wow neat

West Country -just think Hagrid -the ‘r’ after vowels is pronounced, unlike other dialects -they sometimes still use “ye” -the ‘h’ is often left out of the beginning of words (‘hair’ ‘air’) -the ‘l’ in words such as “gold” is not pronounced -’s’ sometimes sounds like ‘z’ and ‘f’ sounds like ‘v’ -the main difference though is that the ‘r’ is pronounced yer a wizard, ‘arry
11
Brummie -long ’i’ sounds like ‘oi’ -short ‘u’ becomes ‘oo’ -the ‘g’ in ‘ng’ words is over pronounced -’t’ is sometimes left off the ends of words -sometimes a short ‘i’ becomes ‘ee’ -’h’ is not really pronounced -the end of the sentence is often “dropped” ozzy osborne wow dis guy’s kinda creepy sketch SHAAARON remember when Jackson was ozzy osborne on hannah montana wow

Scotland & Ireland & wales -ok -there’s a lot of different accents in these countries as well -but we don’t have time to get into all that -these are just basic accents alright -alright Scotland: -they roll their r’s a LOT -the ‘g’ at the end of ‘ing’ words isn’t pronounced -they condense syllables a lot -’face’ becomes ‘fe:s’ and ‘goat’ becomes ‘go:t’ -’t’ in the middle of words is not pronounced Ireland: -vowels are softened -’i’ sounds kinda like ‘oi’, but more like ‘uh-i’ -’d’ often sounds like ‘j’ and ‘t’ sounds like ‘ch’ -instead of ‘th’, just a plain ‘t’ is often used -’that’ ‘tat’ -final consonants are left off oh my hehe Welsh: -they stretch out the vowels a lot -also roll their r’s -gets a lot of influence from welsh language -sounds kind of like Received Pronunciation this beardy ginger fellow will teach you how to roll your r’s if yehw ‘ad the chaence to chaenge yer faete… weuld yehr?

So in conclusion… -there’s thousands of different dialects and accents in England, and they just vary wherever you go. -even in London there’s tons of different dialects! -a lot of them sound similar, but there are definite things that distinguish them -and there’s even more in ireland, scotland, and wales! -so again, it’s not all just “pip pip cheerio” -hope y’all learned something!
