Actually one of the best analyses of Scottish speech out there as a Scot who conlangs and listens to djent and enjoys Kmac memes and sees the man at gigs. This is such an unexpected crossover of interests of mine.

Great vid and idea! It would be cool if you could do Chris O'Neill (OneyNG, OneyPlays). He's Irish but has a very American accent, which is odd because he grew up in Wexford and even went to college there. He does say things like "orr" instead of "arr" and some other subtle stuff with his vowels. I think he said his dad is English and his mom is Irish. Not 100% on that. Anyway, that's my suggestion for another youtuber to do!

Coming from another Scottish person, I'd hazard a guess and say that kmac talks differently when filming his videos, than if he's chatting shite with his mates. I've even caught myself subconsciously lightening my accent, and omitting more Scottish words when talking to people who aren't also Scottish.

A lot of English people would pronounce bath like "barth", but I think overall the majority of British people would actually say it more like "bahth" as Americans do

@thomasjenkins2555 3 жыл бұрын

There's variation even within my family about the pronunciation of bath. Generally it's perceived that the long 'a' as in 'far' is a bit posher in Wales. I use long 'a' whilst my family uses the a in 'rat' . Weird!

@bacchic6676 3 жыл бұрын

Best way to spell a sound out to someone without IPA is by using phonetic collocates. I say the vowel sounds in "bath" like "cap" or "snap"

Americans don't pronounce it "bahth," we pronounce it "bath," with the _a_ as in _rat._
