The best part of this video was seeing our sadly missed Billy T James. As a mixed Maori/European ageing NZ'er, I loved Billy T's confidence in who he was and learned a lot from his ability to laugh and share humour based on the failings on both sides. imo not all of the examples in the video portray authentic HZ accents. ie.while greatly entertained with Ginette McDonald's portrayal of "Lyn of Tawa" in 70+ years of life I don't recall anyone else actually speaking like her and let's be honest, Billy T often exaggerated to extremes 😂

I find that we tend to under pronunciate our “L” at the end of words. Eg. Milk: Mih iwk. Tail: Tay iew. The same habit can be found with the letter “R” but it is not as prominent. Eg. Car: Kah, Rather: Rah the.

L to w is also pretty common in both Scottish and Southeast English working class accents so you would find them between Glasgow and Edinburgh but also around the London area. I do it.

It’s going to be interesting how over the next 30-40 years our accent diverges here in Auckland from somewhere say in Palmerston North. Where though there is a lot of Indian immigrants in Auckland; Chinese and other South East Asian immigrants are more common. I’ve already seen a difference in how the accent is changing. Most of my friends are Second Gen Asian and there is definately a difference between how they talk and I talk; but also; more similar than different. It’s really cool to see that change take place right in front of me.

Linguistic difference around the country are more about the words and expressions we use than accent, eg crib v batch, etc. A lot of that comes from the predominant culture of the settlers in any particular area.

Even Maori have different accents, Maori from Rotorua have a very distinct accent. I find people from Auckland sound real different to people from Christchurch, it's just as strong as the differences between someone from New York and someone from Texas. Also, we don't highlight our differences and because there's no spotlight on things like that here then people don't even think about it.

An ANZAC accent does not exist as such. Various distinct regional accents exist in Great Britain.There are Celtic languages that are undergoing a revival. However, there are several regional accents as well has earlier Welsh and Scottish accents. Chaucerian era English is barely recognised and understood by modern ears. The English language continues to change because it's a living language that is forever being influenced from emmigration and Television shows from other countries. With Australia and New Zealand, their common language is English but their accents are markedly different.
