  • Fun fact: I had mega deja vu whilst filming this, but then I remembered it's because I dreamt that I already filmed this video with Rowan Atkinson. So... there's that!?!
    So this video is just about my accent since I've had quite a few questions on it throughout my time on youtube. (Lol because I didn't even think I actually had a strong accent!)

    I’m from Solihull and I can categorically say that barely anybody from the entire West Midlands has a stereotypical Birmingham accent, as in like Peaky Blinders

    I'm an American who is interested in linguistics and accents throughout the world, and I always found it interesting that the UK houses so many accents. Most of my American colleagues like the Received Pronunciation accent, but I've always loved the West Midlands/Brummie/Black Country accent. I don't know how to describe it, but there is a charm to it that I've always enjoyed. :)

      I absolutely love listening to different accents too, and before I filmed this video I had watched loads of different ones so I decided to make my own to add to the ones already out there. That's so true that the UK has loads of different accents, pretty much every town has it's own unique one. The Brummie accent was voted the UK's official most unattractive accent lol so I'm glad you can put up with it. Thank you very much for watching and for taking the time to write this lovely comment, that was very kind of you. I hope you enjoyed watching :)

    • @knaida9883

      I did enjoy watching. :) Really? The Brummie accent is the most unattractive? Huh. I know in the U.S., Boston, Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia tied for the most unattractive. My native Chicago was also in the running but did not make it to the semifinals.

      It has something to do with over a thousand years more of history. lol The Irish can often identify where other Irish people come from, county by county. There were periods in history where this could mean life or death in Ireland, allowing a stranger to identify himself by where he was from, and likewise whole communities to identify where a stranger was from, from an accent.
      You may know linguistically already, when in 1066, Invaders from Northern France (Normandy) conquered, they retained the French language in the nobility and aristocracy, and "English" was for common folk. So now English words indicating high quality or expensive, like "cuisine", are derived from French. Even the words "noble" and "aristocrat" are from Old French. Also why animals and the meat they produce are often two very different words: cow (English): beef (French) pig:pork, sheep:mutton, hen:poultry. Sometimes I think its miraculous that all of England speaks a single language, let alone different accents!

      I think it’s to do with education. The more educated you are the more exposure you would have to other accents, and that in turn would give you a standard English accent, rather than a regional one. This is similar with Australians. The very well educated ones particularly on news programmes almost speak with an English accent. Think of Norman Coburn and then Ray Mayer. Both Australians, but with very different accents.

    • @cryoraptora303tm2
      @cryoraptora303tm2 4 роки тому

      It depends on several factors. Education, exposure and even as simple as the neighbourhood you grow up in are all influences. I've never lived in the West Country in my life but I still somehow picked up a few West Country influences.

      I come from Sheffield and I only have a really faint accent. I think it's partly cause my family went to uni. My mum had a strong Northumbria accent and lost it at uni and that's who I sound most like.
      I also think disabilities can play into it as my dyspraxia has made my pronunciation a bit weird at times, lots of factors really!

    American here and did a BBC test to see what accent is most similar to mine, being midwest US. It came up Midlands. By the way, your accent is beautiful and you are charming. I do sound different, of course, but many specific words are spoken similarly to me.
    The area I'm from is said to have the least accent of any American area, which is between Indianapolis and Columbus Ohio.

    I got interested in the West Midlands when I found a 1960s TV in the loft a while ago. It was put up there by someone who lived there before me and it has a sticker on the back that says Made In West Midlands. I have no idea weather it works or not I doubt it as it's been up there for years and we have pipes up there so my Mum won't let me go up there but when she was out one day I sneaked up there and found it up there. It probably doesn't work. Again it was made in the West Midlands. Anyway I've never noticed a West Midlands accent until now.

    Something I find notable about your accent is the way the "L" at the end of certain words becomes a "W" sound. (Talk --> Tawk, Oil --> Oiw, Stalked --> Stawked, Called --> Cawed). It seems like that pops out more often some times than others, though. I think your accent is lovely, by the way! I have a strong accent, myself, that's a bit of a hybrid between Southern and Texan.

    Just came across this today, your accent is precious! Vid made me smile so much, made me want to reply. I live outside in United States near Birmingham Alabama. And you mentioned both Birmingham and Alabama in vid. Granted your Birmingham is long way from ours.
    Toilet Paper Rolling, aka called TPing, Rolling, or yard rolling. This is common here in U.S. around April Fools Day and during October specifically the week of Halloween, teenagers (teens) buy about 50 rolls of inexpensive toilet paper and "go rolling"...The expression indicates rolling a house but most just roll the trees. When rolling, you take a roll and unroll a few sheets then throw it high into a tree, in such a way that it unrolls in midair, thus leaving streams of paper hanging. You can roll other things like the lamppost, or newspaper box. Steer clear of mailboxes unless you want federal offense on your record. Rolling was common when I was a teen (20+ years ago), except now teens have added plastic forks to the mix, called “forking”. The forks are stuck into ground all over the front lawn with the prongs poking up. In my experience, people don't get mad if they get rolled as this is typically a prank played between friends, not as an act of revenge. Teens will roll friends, Teachers, Coach or even trees at their School. Part of the prank is not telling them who actually did it. It’s like a challenge to determine which friend(s) did the rolling or to actually catch them in the act. You must be very quiet, and stealthy. Most teens go rolling during the middle of the night while others sleep. Of course if you roll your friends house, you spend the rest of the week anxiously waiting to see if your house is next. We use to hide outside for hours to catch any friends trying to roll our house. Now that is funny because you hear them get closer and you can hear them trying to whisper to each other. Then we would scare the mess out of them by charging them from bushes while screaming! That’ll teach them, hahaha.
    Other answers:
    The bug that rolls into a ball: Roly Poly
    In the US, gym shoes are called Sneakers.
    I live in the South, so we address a group with “Hey Y’all”!!
    I call spider a Granddaddy long leg.
    At supermarket we call wheeled contraption a buggy.
    A Sunshower is when rains while sun is shining.

      The old Roman road Watling Street (today's A5) marked the border between English Mercia (to the SW) and the Danelaw (to the NE) -- and it still pretty much divides the accents of, say, Coventry (in the West Midlands) from those of, say, Leicester (in the East Midlands), even though the two cities are not much more than 20 miles apart.

    This is so funny just like all of your videos! Your rambling are the funniest thing so don't apologize. When people heard my voice they were like "your accent is so cute". I remember being really little and argueing with my dad that I don't have an accent and everybody else does. In New Zealand, those Daddy long legs things are called Crane Flies and when it rains when the sun is shining, it's a sun shower. I don't think you are extremely brummie but I don't think you sound like the queen.

    I am from Venezuela and when I was learning English, one of my teachers lived in Birmingham.(he ain't Brummie though) He was from Cape Verde and at first I taught he was pronouncing English wrongly. Afterwards I realised the existence of the Brummie accent by listening the Barclays premier League on BBC world service on Saturdays and there where a lot of reporters and comentators from the west midlands. Then I was wrongly associating the Brummie accent with Aussie accent until I watched the Peaky Blinders. (Of course plenty of the actors ain't Brummie but, I perceived the difference between Brummie, Yam Yam and Aussie. Far different. And if people in the UK doesn't like the brummie accent, well, I "luv" for 3 reasons (short A, intonation and the rothic R " short A and rothic R because of Spanish language and intonation because sounds nice. RP is comercial English (to be sold English for us English learners) but the brummie accent I really love it.

    Throwing toilet paper at a house is really common in America. So is throwing raw eggs. We call it it TP'ing a house. I have never done it but I have seen it before. Really common after Halloween.
    The bugs that roll up when you touch them are rolly pollies.
    The thing on wheels you use in a super market is called a shopping cart in the US.

    In America, throwing toilet paper on houses is sort of a common practice for high school students during football season (American football season). I believe it's supposed to be done to the people at rival schools but nowadays we do it to our friends and such as well. Oh and its called "rolling" since toilet paper comes in rolls. The bug that rolls into a ball is a roley poley (I bet I butchered the correct spelling of the name but oh well).
