If you're American, I'm surprised! The West Country's "rhotic" err o arr accent is the basis for American and Canadian English. At the time, about 1800, most English people were rhotic. The higher class people in London wanted to differentiate themselves from those "peasant farmers," hence "proper" received British English, "fathah, mothah" etc. The irony is that the pronunciation is more French, OF ALL THE PEOPLE, these people wanted to imitate French pronunciation!

@Dan Kelly - They are from the Westcountry region of Britain & portray themselves as the typical stereotype found there. And yes, that is the regional accent of the south west. NoProbaloAmigo's post is right, most people in the southern half of England used to speak like this before that horrible posh 'standard English' accent came along. In fact this is similar to the accent the first spoken by Colonists in North America which retained certain elements to this day. I've heard American tourists in Devon remark "they all speak like Pirates here!", that's because in reality virtually all the pirates came from the Westcountry

It's no surprise that American speech has influences from SW England since the Pilgrim Fathers were from Plymouth.

The band isn't from Devon - it comes from North Somerset - the Mendip accent is very different even from South and West Somerset. Mind you one of the members is Scottish which doesn't help.

well anything west of Dorchester/Weymouth might be but the rest is more south central, or what some of us Devonians call 'up-country'! Wiltshire & Gloucestershire are most certainly NOT Westcountry!

@TheHiddenStudios 5 жыл бұрын

You ever heard a Gloucestershire or Wiltshire accent? Sounds just as 'west country' as any other, in fact in Gloucester the accent seems to be more prevalent than in a lot of Somerset these days. Also historically cider drinking counties. North Somerset, where the Wurzels are from, I reckon has more in common with South Gloucestershire and the Forest of Dean than a lot of other areas of the south west. It depends how you define the 'west country' I guess, if it's purely geographical, I'd say it's fair to exclude Gloucestershire and Wiltshire since neither has a coastline to the extent of the other counties and aren't as far south-west. But culturally, well, there's not a whole lot of difference between Somerset and Gloucestershire in that respect, even the old dialect is very similar- swapping S for Z, F for V, using "I be" instead of "I am", "how bist?" instead of "how are you?". Of course Cornwall is a different beast all together due to it's strong brythonic roots. Devon I can't really speak for since I'm not as familiar with the place. Look up Shag Connors and the Carrot Crunchers, a Gloucestershire band similar to the Wurzels who play on the stereotype of the West Country bumpkin. It's never been an official region of course, but it doesn't make a lot of sense to me to exclude Gloucestershire and Wiltshire when they have so much in common with Somerset which is considered the 'quintessential' west country county by many. Edit: I realise now this was an old comment and probably not worth replying to in such length. Oh well.
