You can travel 50 miles the accent changes at least 3 times and there’s at least 2 of those areas at war over what a bread roll is called 😂

As someone from liverpool i can officially say that that scouse accent was diabolical 😂

An American sharing his fascination with the British Accent to other Americans. This was so funny🤣

I stumbled across this video and was totally taken aback by how wholesome it was. Just 3 genuinely lovely lads seeking to understand something foreign to them. So sweet, love from the uk x

When she said 'Diolch yn Fawr' in the Northern Welsh section, she wasn't speaking English but Welsh - an entirely different language, not just an accent, and it means thank you very much. I think she did most of the accents pretty well. Even Norfolk was okay, which most people tend to morph into a west country accent.

A lot of people get the Birmingham accent mixed up with the Black Country accent which are not the same at all.

I’d defo say she’s better at the southern accents than the northern 😭

The Scotland accents were shocking unfortunately. Ewan McGregor is from Perth and that accent is different further yet. Robert Burns was from Ayrshire, which has a similar sounding accent to Glasgow. I’m baffled as to why Inverness would be even considered as a comparison 😂

I don’t know the lady but I think a more realistic impression could be gained from actually speaking to locals from different regions or even adjacent towns . She was comprehensible , most of the broad “ local “ accents are completely unfathomable .

She gets a 7/10 for these accents. I grew up in London and now live in South Wales, plus I travel for work so I visit most of the UK. She did a good job, but they weren't all completely accurate :)

Im a Yorkshire lass, and Yorkshire is one of the largest counties of the UK and consequently divided into 4 parts - each with clear accent differences. Interestingly, I think her yorkshire accent wasn't like any one of the four ;) but I love that you find it your favourite! Yorkshire people are very grounded and huge hearted type of folks :) 🌸🌸

As a Londoner, doing Uni in West Yorkshire, I can tell you that I suddenly felt very posh after hearing how everybody else sounds

Midland accents change every 10 miles or so and common spoken languages even less, our diverse community is amazing and we all get along 🎉❤

When she said "Thank you very much" in the Northern Welsh section, that was NOT an English accent but the Welsh language. Welsh is separate from English, it's a Celtic language related to Irish and Scottish Gaelic, and more closely still to Cornish and Breton (from Fance's Brittany region).

I like how respectful they are throughout the video, it’s really refreshing

I’m a Yorkshire lass, and am very proud of my accent and love that you guys love the Yorkshire accent too! ❤

I’m from Glasgow and the majority of people don’t speak like how she’s said it all - a lot faster and also there are loads of different accents too. Every area of Glasgow including the outskirts - north Glasgow, South Glasgow etc can have different accents I’d say

I'm a Brummie, Jps...and the accent is much worse and more incomprehensible than she could do.... 🙂

The Vicar of Dibley, Oasis... Love that you're visiting 90s Britain, specifically 😅 If you're getting into Britpop I'd massively recommend Pulp as well, their lyrics really get into the complexities of class and regional cultures - "Common People" is a great starting point. If you're going further back to the 80s Ian Dury & the Blockheads, or The Specials touch on similar themes

Kudos to her for attempting 3 Scottish accents but they weren’t very good 🤣 there’s also a lot more of a variety depending what city or town you go to. However I respect the effort she put in.

Joel, it was Ewan McGregor mentioned, not Connor McGregor and Ewan is definitely Scottish and from Perth 😄

There's a difference between dialects and accents. The former involve uses of different words, terms, and turns of phrase, in addition to accents. For example, North Wales English is generally considered to be one dialect, but within this there is a wide variation of accents. Even in English, their second language, a Caernarfon child's accent would be a challenge for a Flintshire kid to understand. So, while there are about 40 accepted dialects of English in the UK, the number of distinct accents must number in the hundreds.

from the uk- its so good to see someone who has done their research, spent time in the country and understands the culture making a video like this. this is how everyone should be before claiming to 'know' a certain country's culture, so misinformation and ignorence doesn't spread. great job lad

Love how the two guys on the right actually sound interested, a lot of channels where people just sit there

That’s correct - Yorkshire accent is a no nonsense accent you’ve perfectly described it. All accents sounded excellent but the Birmingham accent is notoriously difficult to achieve. Listening to Geordie from afar (not hearing the words distinctly) makes it sound Scandinavian. Not surprising given their Viking heritage.

There are places in Yorkshire where the people of a single village speak different dialects depending on which end of the village they live. E.g. The village of Lowthorpe. People from the north end pronounce it Low(rhymes with Oh) Thup(rhymes with Pup), whilst people from the south end pronounce it Low(rhymes with Oww) Throp(rhymes with Prop).

As someone from South Yorkshire, thank you for saying our accent is the best. It really is the best accent in the uk 😆

The term "RP" appeared in a pronunciation guide published in 1962. By 1970 it already had drastic updates, because most people related it to "the established order", so it was not very "popular". Do not confuse RP with "Posh", which is the style of nobility. Traditionally, it was heard by BBC announcers. Not too many people use it in the UK, even though it is considered the correct (or neutral) way. People who learned English in Commonwealth countries are an exception. Freddie Mercury had a perfect RP accent.

Wales has it's own language, although many just speak English with a Welsh accent, the Welsh do have their own language. Scot natives and Irish also speak Gaelic and also have many different accents.

I love the little grin and twinkle in your eye when talking about your night out in Newcastle. ;)

In the wrexham area (north east wales) there are at least 10 accents, we can tell which part of the Borough and neighbouring counties people are from just from listening to them speak. The people from the various areas also have different names...Jacko, town head and so on. We play rugby in Wales, it's massive here. If you ever come to Wales, you must come to watch the rugby in Cardiff......you'll be amazed, I promise. Stream a game, listen to the wonderful Welsh singing.

In yorkshire the yorkshire accent changes from Leeds to York to Hull to Scarborough within one county. Some farmers in the Yorkshire Dales speak a dialect that uses words no one outside of 40 miles would understand. So if a region has a distinctive accent, that one accent then changes slightly from city to city within that region.

Yes please cover more UK accents and dialects maybe ones where locals are speaking 😅

She didn't get the Brummie ( Birmingham ) quite right but a fair effort .

I love how fascinated and kind you guys were. I'm from mid-Wales, neither North nor South - smack bang in the middle! Some of us have a stronger mish-mash of the two accents and some of us sound like we're straight from London (don't ask me how!). My favorite accents are Yorkshire and Cockney. I like the way they sound.

Glad you like the Yorkshire accent. Yorkshire is the biggest county and there are large differences in accents from place to place. My mum and dad were born 5 miles away from each other in different valleys in West Yorkshire and had some different vowel sounds. My dad would pronounce weight and wait differently for example, whereas both words are pronounced the same for me.

It was Ewan McGregor, not Conor McGregor, that she was talking about from Edinburgh. You mentioned Geordie being a weird one - it's also one of the main points of origin for a lot of British West Indian accents, many of which were at least partly settled by seafarers from the Newcastle area. You can still hear traces of the Geordie accent in Jamaican and Barbadian English accents.

I’m so glad you travelled to Newcastle, loads of people seem to skip it when they travel to the UK but it’s amazing! And you’re right about the night life! 😂

She's really talented and spot on from my 50 years living and exploring UK. Cool reaction video lads.

I love how the guy geeks out on language so much, and actually knows a lot 😄👍🏻

I live in Swansea (place in Wales) and in Swansea you can go like 2-6 miles in each direction and find a new accent with different slang.

Lads, thank you for saying, ‘Football’ 😂…. It means a lot 👊🏼

im from Yorkshire and my friend is from the Isle of Wight and its nice to talk to her because our accents are so different but I love it

I'm from a small village in Mid Wales and its a totally different accent again from North or South. We also speak Welsh at home and my kids go to a Welsh speaking school 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Your understanding of the regions and accents is impressive - not many reactors from outside the island know as much.

Love the way you guys are learning about British culture, whilst keeping it light hearted. Just came across your channel, but I’ll be sure to subscribe.

I’m Scottish , Glaswegian. Scotland is another country where the accents can change is a crazy way . Even in Glasgow the accent can change a bit throughout . Check out Glaswegian , then Dundee , rural parts of Scotland , west coast villages and such and the worst of all is Aberdeen . I can never figure out what their saying . The reason the Scottish and Irish thong is also due to a lot of us being Scottish Irish mix

Robert Burns was from Ayrshire, South of Glasgow. Similar accent to Glaswegian but not as harsh.

I studied in Cardiff 30 years ago, you could tell what part of the city people came from by their accent. That’s a city with a population of 350k.

Good video, this lass had a decent go with covering the very basics!

Brilliant video guys

Many decades ago there was a programme called The Fishing Race. My cousin's Brummie accent was so broad they used subtitles. I travelled from North Birmingham to Kinver 25 miles away and it took me two days before i could understand a word.

5:39 Speaking of the Welsh place that has a long name, that’s where Taron Egerton is from.

There is a book on the history of our accents quite funny too!! Also makes me proud of Yorkshire, Richard III spoke Yorkshire in court and travelled as far South as Birmingham which is where the book says how the Brummie accent derived!! 😂😂

I've become very fond of your videos. Thanks friends.. ( Lake/ Disrtict / Cumbrian Dialect. North West England. Meaning of As Gitten...etc

The Scottish accents were absolutely dire.

Ok, guys, if you REALLY want classic examples of British accents, Google the following. These are true representatives of how their local dialect sounds! Here we go: For Cardiff - Frank Hennessy (I know I hate the Cardiff accent, but I love Frank!). Llanelli - Scott Quinnell (or me!). Swansea - the character “Nessa”, from the show “Gavin and Stacey”). Yorkshire - Sean Bean. Liverpool - Paul Smith (stand-up comedian). London (East End) - Ray Winstone or Bob Hoskins. “Posh” London - Hugh Grant. Birmingham - Jasper Carrott (comedian). Glasgow - Kevin Bridges (comedian). Edinburgh - Sean Connery. The West Country, as it's referred to (Devon & Cornwall, generally) - the late, great Jethro (stand-up). Newcastle - Jimmy Nail. There are MANY more, from all over the country, but I'd be here all night! Hope these prove useful/enlightening to you guys! Great channel, by the way!

As someone from north wales it’s amazing to see their reaction to our town names. Honesty even I hardly understand some of them

For someone from the (very) south Welsh valleys they did the accent pretty good, I’m impressed! 👍

I think it's good to emphasis that the welsh accent, all the many, many various ones, being so unique is from the language we speak! in the welsh language, cymraeg, the stress is put on the penultimate syllable (example: af-TER-noon, al-TI-tude, or fu-TURE) whereas in English (also known as Saesneg in welsh) the stress is almost always on the first syllable, except for some verbs! Also! liverpool/scouse accent is both heavily influenced by north welsh (a lot of welsh people call the north welsh gogs- as gog comes from gogledd, which means north in welsh!) and vice versa! I think scouse also has a lot borrowed from dublin and more southern parts of Ireland, as well was looking forward to seeing you do this kind of video edit: but definitely would love to see you watch more vids on accents!

Billy connolly says it best “when you get off the train at Glasgow central, you can feel Glasgow coming through the souls of your feet” .. I shall agree with the rough part however it’s full of character, lots of architecture, museums, art galleries. It also became the uk’s first world city of friendship… a little Rough I’ll give you but there’s nowhere quite like Glasgow. 🤗 Also 4/10 for accents she sounded almost the same with everyone

Hey guy's, loved listening to the lady's accents, it really made me laugh! I'm English from Yorkshire, which can be kind of difficult to understand 😊 Now living in Germany, yes they both have good night clubs.🇬🇧🥳 Look forward to hearing your next video 😂

As a Yorkshire lass, hearing people from other countries saying the Yorkshire accent is their favourite accent makes me smile. Also hearing him pronounce Yorkshire right instead of York-shaiyer makes me happy 😂

As an American living in England, learning how to understand both Mackam and Geordie, I think I can understand any accent now. 😅

She said EWAN McGregor though. 😂 You know, Obi-Wan Kenobi.

I went to school in a small town in the northeast of England and we had everything from RP through pitmatic (mining community) to rural northumbria/Scottish borders (beautiful to listen to). All growing up in the same area. A southern accent would quickly be singled out.

Used to take the train from Taunton, Somerset South West to Leeds, West Yorkshire North. If you went to sleep and woke up you could figure out where you were just listening to conversations.

White vest gang

So happy to see all of you react to an accents video. Waiting for you all to react to the one on WIRED with a tour of American accents.

There are so many London accents alone !! Would love a video zooming into those

I’m from Ireland. She did really well. You guys are v interesting to watch. Liked.

This was fun, Joel! My grandmother was from Bristol and my grandfather from Battersea. My cousins are in Derbyshire and Wiltshire, and volunteer in Dorset during summers. All different accents. My moons ago, I hosted 50 British Army Cadets visiting Canada. A cadet from Blackpool was incomprehensible to everyone except for one Brit cadet, who then translated for everyone else in the group. Amazing!! Cheers, John in Canada

Your mate, on the right side of the camera as it’s viewed by us. Is it, Archer, Archerio?? He should have his own channel. I hope he has. He seems informed, intelligent, witty, and capable. Definitely has a future ahead of him, that’s for sure 👌🏻

there was a much loved show on tv in the uk called 'Auf Wiedersiehn Pet' which was pretty good, all the actors had different accents..

Near where I am you can drive from Huyton to Huddersfield on the M62 and hear 4 different accents. It's 50 miles and about a 50 minute drive, you'll hear Scouse in Huyton, Lancashire accent in Leigh, Manchester accent and then a Yorkshire accent in Huddersfield.

Guess it's laundry day

She does a good job, its worth noting that midlands and Yorkshire accests very a lot. That there is Estuary English (working class accent of the south east) , Multi Cutural London English that many younger londoners speak and how different Manchester and Liverpool are despite being so close.

my accents like a cross between yorkshire and my towns specific way of speaking theres so many different variations i genuinely think its interesting

Aw you guys are cute haha! You should visit London I’m sure lots of us would love to give you a tour of the local sights (because even within the city each borough has a slightly different vibe)

Polish with a Yorkshire boyfriend who claims 30 years ago people were able to distinguish from which area of city someone is from by the accent (Ripon 16k citizens, but it has a Cathedral!), now I can definitely recognise different accents of locals in Harrogate and Bilton (one town, walking distance 15 minutes). She didnt do to well scottish or irish accents - could invite somebody, but otherwise she did it well.

I’m from Lancashire as is my other half , he was raised in another town in Lancashire just 15 miles from where I was raised and his accent is totally different , I also use words and phrases he has never heard before . The town I come from also has a dialect which isn’t understood by people living in the other side of town

Im from Sheffield in Yorkshire (where Sean Bean is from). her accent impression wasnt the best but she tried 😂 glad to hear its your fave. And what the other guy said about us being no nonsense was very accurate. Its quite common (especially amongst the older generations) to call eachother duck or love. For example goin tu't shop when speakin ta't cashier wed offen seh cheers luv ta'raa. Another example of slang/sayings asking "are you in love?" which is asking if youre at home and not asking about romance haha

What a wholesome reaction guys! Made me laugh. What's with the vests?

These are just some of the more major accents too. Theres countless variations! My town is totally different from the town 1 mile away

I’m Welsh. From Cardiff. I’m ‘posh’ though as I don’t have an accent. Now a Cardiff accent sounds more raw, more like a Liverpool accent than a stereotypical Welsh accent. Also, I speak Welsh fluently. Additionally… her north Wales accent in this clip is NOTHING like a north wales accent, or ‘Gog accent’ as it’s known

I’m a brummie living in north wales and I have never lost my brummie accent x

You young guys are great. I explained to my Italian friends the massive range in accents in then Uk but it was hard to explain as they explained there are differences in Italy. But those accents did not sound much different to me haha

There are definitely more accents in the UK that you can look at, such as Essex or Estuary English,, The Shetland Islands, Jersey, and many more in the Midlands. Also its worth taking into account that your class and background will affect your accent as well. So someone from a posher area, perhaps predominately a white british part of London may speak very differently to someone who is from an area of London with a wider range of cultures and influences. Also the 'thickness' of an accent can vary person to person depending on there background and class system.

I’m from Yorkshire and the accent is different in each city. For instance, Leeds is completely different to Wakefield as is York, Bradford and Sheffield.

Kudos to her, shes nailed all of these accents!

What hansom lads with wonderful manners

Shoukd of done the range of accents even just around Birmingham, Dudley is bizarre lol

I live 10 miles from Birmingham here in the UK and and our accent is different all together from Brummie, I have a black country accent. They say that the black country accent is as close as you can get to old anglo saxon - (converted to black country) they say thot thee block cuntry occent is os cloose os yow con get toe owd anglow soxon. Great reaction. I have heard most of the accents from around the uk, but no matter where you go you will find a variation of it. Scientist says that accents from the midlands going northwards could be gone in as little as 50years due to schools teaching middle english.

Hi from Scotland, she missed about 50 accents from Scotland.

I’m from Barnsley which is 10-15 miles north of Sheffield and she nailed it, gu on lass 🤣🤣🤣 I’m from a place where literally over the farmers field the accent changes drastically 🤣

Wow! Robert Burns - Inverness - Really????? He came from Ayrshire - some 200 miles away! His poems were written in an Ayrshire dialect which is very, very different again.

Omg, you have to listen to the Grimsby accent, it's the same time whether they're excited, upset ect. It's fun! 😂💖

Hi listening to you boys watching this .The lady was very good too.I come from West yorkshire ,we have 3 ridings West /north/South yorkshire .We used to have an East too but that was immersed into the 3 instead of 4 . We also have different dialects in all the yorkshire ridings .My grandmother was from North Yorkshire near York , she used a lot of different words .She married a man from Cheshire ,who was working on an Estate he was head Gardener, and Grandma was a ladies Maid before they married .

I'm from Hull, East Yorkshire and our accent is certainly distinctive. We don't pronounce our H's so we would say 'ull.

Hi, is "white vest" the new JPS reaction uniform 😂
