Candide Thirtythree I think that London is the most likely place to hear any of these accents, and perhaps blended accents influenced by other places. That's just the nature of a large city. People pick up things they are exposed to over time, and it is natural that in a big city people are exposed to more accents more often.
I'm from London, I think people up in East London's is a lot stronger proper cockney. And North London speak a lot slower and calmer and south speak quite fast.
+Candide Thirtythree There are language experts who recon you can tie down an accent to within about a 6 mile radius. I recon that may no longer apply due to the effects of media and mobility. I think is is probably more like 12 miles nowadays. Though who knows, maybe computer analysis will be able to bring it back down again.
+Candide Thirtythree Same with areas in Lancashire and Greater Manchester, I'm from Bolton and my accent is quite a bit different from people that have grown up in Manchester/Salford and it's only like 12 miles away.
My grandmother could recognize what street you were from just by listening to you speak a few sentences. Mind, that was in the days when people didn't move around a lot and you married the girl from number 7 and then took up residence at number 18. Close knit communities, they were.
Jack Richards I’m from the countryside in England and I speak sort of like the person in this video, but all I know about scouse is what my dad taught me: “If a’ dint drink me milk a’ wunt be gud ‘nough to ple’ for Accrington Stanley “Accrington Stanley?

How on Earth did we get so many different accents in such a small place as the UK? Travel 50 miles in any direction and the accents will change dramatically.
That happenes to a lot of countries in Europe. It's the same in Germany even though the explanation seems a bit more logical since it was seperated into 10701790170109 1/2 (not an accurate number) little states... It goes as far as that for example the average bavarian (not the one from Munich) generally has to be subtitled when talking on tv.
UK regional and local accents are due to people not having any great mobility - at least not until the mid nineteenth Century. It has nothing to do with having been invaded - the last time that happened was nearly a 1,000 years ago. Until the Industrial Revolution, and later the railways and bicycling, most people lived in the same town as their ancestors had done for hundreds of years, and accents remained very localised. You're wrong about travelling 50 miles though - travelling just to the next village (less than five miles away) would be enough to notice significant accent change, and sometimes they'd be more or less mutually incomprehensible. Travelling 50 miles away could mean passing through a dozen different accent zones, although most such local accent variations have given way to regional accents.
come to italy, I guess it's the same here. apart tuscan accent, I think every local accent has also his own dialect. many of them are so much different from italian that a person who comes form more than 150 miles away wouldn't understand half of the words, because they're totally different. E.G. chair is "sedia" in italian, "cadrega" in milan and "scrana" in bologna...

It's funny because as an American, we often just group them all into general "British" accent, yet I could hear and recognize the distinction in each one.
Many Americans lump Australian, NZ, and S. African all in with British, which seems dumb...but few Brits can differentiate Canadian from American anyway.

@@alfredowaltergutierrezmald834 She wrote one of the better episodes (IMO), "Forgetting Sarick Mortshall". Another fun fact: Zac Oyama appears as a bit character in Superstore (ua-cam.com/users/shortsHcMVqbvTNrM)
Just wanna say that really nailing a dialect is super difficult, many actors fall short even with intensive training from a dialect coach. So I think this is impressive
Dear Siobhan, the 'æ' in the word 'accent' that you articulated at the beginning of the video (around 0:02) was so extraordinarily resounding that the sound is still echoing in my head.
My grandma sounds like that but a bit more English, I think from living with my grandpa who didn’t care to try to change it, and was very stubborn, and worked with English people in his job.
I had a lecturer who spoke heightened RP and his lectures were undoubtedly the highlight of my schedule. A particular joy was a 20 minute tangent about the history of gin, which was truly magnificent.
Yeah, the UK's plethora of accents is pretty crazy, given its small size. I live in Liverpool, for example, and all you need to do is go around 15 miles down the motorway and you have Warrington, whose accent is entirely distinguishable and different from the Liverpool accent. Another 20 miles and you have Manchester, whose accent again is entirely different. Brilliant.
I was cycling in a beautiful English town but lost, kept going around in circles. While trying to read a map a lovely Scotsman tried to help me out. I couldn’t understand a word he was saying so I just nodded, thanked him and got on my way.
As a Welshman I really appreciate your "Diolch yn Fawr" effort,...Ymdrech arbennig cariad!! ...However as I've been living in Ireland for over 20 years, I can assure you that the accents from Dublin, Cork and Donegal are all from a different part of the universe, never mind the same country...
@@randalclarke5487 Having watched this again I've realised that she is actually a proper Welsh girl who happens to be good at accents beyond Wales,...Da iawn!!!...on the subject of Fishguard, it is a lovely little Welsh town to pass because a ferry to Ireland embarks from there...however, it is very remote without the ferry port and you can take that in two specific ways. 1: You enjoy the remoteness,...or 2: It's too remote for you.......EDIT: Hold on a moment, Siobhan is an Irish girl right???....you fooled me you Irish babe but hey ho I love you anyway...
@@randalclarke5487 On the subject of hybrids, although I was born in Wales and speak fluent Welsh as my parents and grandparents did before me, I discovered around 15 years ago that I am the grandson (33-times-removed) of King William The Conqueror. So as a hybrid, you may perhaps refer to me as a Celtic/Norman hybrid...?
I’m american but I knew it was wrong bc of the Beatles, mostly john Lennon and George Harrison have the thicker accents (they were told by their pr team to tone their accent down in america to be understood better)
It amazes me how people seem to think this was serious - it's just a laugh, a bit of fun, lighten up! Dare say they were all inaccurate in some way but who cares, this is just funny :D

I wonder which region is the actor Russell Brand's accent from? To a non Britt it sounds pretty thick and cocky... hmmm... perhaps from sexy Essex.... (I know silly me) ;P
Nope omg what is that?? I've been living under a rather large rock ya know... lol By the way, the reason I was asking just because he was born in Essex, it doesn't mean he's got the same accent.
Big cities can be crazy like that, NYC used to have a bunch of different accents for example. I knew someone who was a teacher there briefly in the 50s or 60s and she even had a couple students that were born and raised there that barely spoke English since they were raised in Little Italy and plenty of people had different accents based on neighborhood. Brooklyn accent, Bronx accent, Queens accent, and tons of foreign accents. Despite that alot of people think the NYC accent is all Brooklyn, and London gets a similar treatment.
after 10 years of videos in English subtitled in English and Italian I can say I understand what an Englishman says. It's incredible how many different types of accents I can pick up and for some people (especially educated ones) I can understand around 99% of the words and for others the percentage of words I understand drops to 90-95%. For some others the percentage drops dramatically 🥰 from italy
i am LEANNE i am cockney is kind of a broad term for lower class British accents from an American perspective... mostly from colonial times and not as relevant today generalized as the typical ‘ello govnah, accent.
Cockney isn't really an accent at all. It's rather like a dialect. If you're interested, Kate Arnett explains Cockney in depth on Anglophenia Ep. 36. It originally described the word substitution dialect used by people in a geographically defined area of the the London East End. Ms. Arnett's episode provides a nice intro. Of course I'm not from London and can only presume Ms. Arnett knows what she is talking about. As she exlains it, cockney is a native of East London, traditionally one born within hearing of the St. Mary Le-Bow church bells located within the city of London.
@@seanleith5312 My guess on why there are so many accents is back in the day there were lots of languages you see, and the way those languages used syllables probably impact the accents of today Like welsh accent sounds like the language in the way of pronunciation I don't know much about the language history of the uk but Wales, Scotland, Ireland and Cornwall spoke celtic languages and because that they sound in the words of my Welsh Mother. "Like uneducated cabbage farmers." North East England was taken over by the vikings, perhaps some old Norse got in the accents? villages did get a bit of old Norse in village names like Grimsby which means "Grim's Village" Grim was the guy who founded it so I guess he's a creative chap Enjoy this rant about history, cabbage farmers and a Norwegian fisherman.
The biggest thing that people get wrong when trying to speak in a Yorkshire accent is that you'll find very few people actually say " t' " anything. The t' that most imitators put in is really exaggerated as you find the overwhelming majority or locals will actually speak with a glottal stop instead. As a result of the perceived exaggeration it ends up making people's imitations sound more like a piss take than an attempt at mimicry. Only a minor thing, but it would really make you sound a lot more convincing.
Yorkshire is a big place with a larger population that the entirety of Scotland and everyone of those people I have ever met are all "going t' shop, overt' road."
Rory Oliver & Mimi W I did say very few, I didn't say none. Whilst the people from Yorkshire you've met may pronounce it that way, I can guarantee you the vast majority will not, and I can say with a very high level of confidence that having lived in Yorkshire all my life, that I'll have a larger sample size to base my statement on.
Rory Oliver Daley You're kind of both right. In a Yorkshire accent t' as she pronounced it means 'to the'. "going to the shop" would be "going t' shop". Many people trying to immitate the accent incorrectly think that it means 'the' without the 'to'. In this video however, she actually goes the other way: using t' in sentences which dont include the word 'the'. She is actually saying "So across the Pennines to the Yorkshire" and "One does not simply walk in to the Mordor" which is why it sounds jarring. Here there should be no glottal stop. The t should sound like first syllable of tomato. She gets it pretty much right when she says "I'm going to the pub up the hill" though.
So funny! “… but she got fired because no one could understand her.” “All I want to do is dance ‘bally’ but me dad makes me box.” The accents are very good and all however, it’s the commentary and delivery that got me howling with laughter. Thanks for that!

I am American from Southeast Michigan and spent a month in Coventry once, loved it. Drank pints one night with a Geordie and caught every third word at first but by the end of the night I caught every 2-1/2 words. Love it. I dated a girl from Wales LOVED HER and her accent with the way she said CAT but it sounded like COT (to me) or GATE which sounded like GET (to me). The sing song way she spoke melted my heart. Damn! I gotta get back.
Agree with that. Her ability stretches far beyond mine, and she was entertaining, but her Edinburgh was poor and no one I know from Inverness speaks anything like that.
yeah right! Ayrshire, in the south! why did she associated him with Inverness? ...and how does she thinks she knows what he sounded like...he died in 1796, slightly before they invented recording devices!!! and Edinburgh...Prime of Miss Jean Brody indeed - completely affectation... thats like the Received Pronunciation of Scotland [ I did like this tho :-) ]
@Jim Elliott.... I am, yes. 20yrs in Lanarkshire, 20yrs in Edinburgh and 15yrs in Aberdeenshire and "cnothan" is a new one on me, sorry. You are probably right tho - like Cnoc, where the first C is silent - nothan/nothin sounds good enough to me.
This video popped into my feed and I haven't even thought about it for what feels like a decade or more - what a blast to the past! I don't think I even had my own youtube account when I last saw this. Fun video for sure 😁
i watched this video so many times as a kid to learn how to speak in different UK accents and now i’m realizing that this is presented by THE Siobhan Thompson
Mr. Eugene Abernathy true man, but tbh once u get outside the ring road everyone just sounds like the county their from, I have a Cheshire / Derbyshire accent for example.
I looked up ‘accents explained’ in a UA-cam search and found this video. I’m obsessed with accents of all origins (either within a country or globally) and this is amazing. I’m no actor but I love trying to imitate these awesome variations - how different vowels and couplings of phonetics combine to create almost a type of character and imagining the lifestyles of these groups of people. Favourite accents (for no reason other than genuine intrigue): 1. Scottish 2. Indian 3. South African South African
Literally same! Especially over the phone or in job interviews, I'm often asked if I'm American but I've never even been to America. I guess I watch a lot of television?
Lucy G That's funny, because I'm Canadian and I'm constantly asked if I just moved here from England. I've never been to England, and my family doesn't have an accent either. But I've noticed I do say some words with a British accent. I picked it up from tv I guess.
In WW1, my grandfather (Northampton) trained horses. He was seconded to the Tyneside Irish. He told me: "I couldn't understand a word they said, they couldn't understand me, for the first two weeks l had an interpreter who came round with me"
some of the more dramatic ones (i.e. coastal, southern, north-western) yeah but tbh 2/3 of them sound like a general english accent with slight variations
Lestaaahhhhh! Had to quickly get used to stuff like "you wan' ote?" (=do you want anything) when I moved up here, having previously acclimatised myself to the South Wales 'Wenglish' where I lived before that and coming originally from Essex. My own accent is now a bit of a mess :)
Thank you, Siobhan! 1) Excellent video all around. 2) I used this vid to educate my little brother, who is working with folks in the UK for the first time (from across the Atlantic).
"is there any Glaswegian here?" "ye ye" "Really? Come here, where are you? I want to just test it. Are you actually from Glasgow?" "Yes" "Can you say "burglar alarm"?" "buurgrgularlrrmn"
A very pleasant presentation, yet you missed some of the juiciest, most choking-inducing features of several of the dialects, such as the fricatives of Liverpool and the ejectives of Newcastle. I would also have enjoyed hearing some of the rough, velar-uvular /r/ of seaside Sheffieldian (if I am not mistaken), -- as it would be coming from otherwise such a gentle lady : )
My boyfriend replaces some of his “th” sounds with “f” so like when he says “nothing” it sounds like “nofing”. Sometimes the “ng” has almost a “nk” sound as well. Is that a particular accent or is it grouped in with the London accent (he’s from London)? UPDATE: I have discovered that this a Cockney accent (still London).
I just realised my teachers trained me out of this! I learned to speak with a Cockney accent because that's how my dad spoke, but when we were learning phonetics and such at school, they stopped me from adding Ks to the end of ng and from using f instead of th :/
Loved it and very accurate. I was a computer engineer and consultant for many years so I went everywhere in the UK so have experience of all these accents. My Mum was Scottish from near Inverness so spent many holidays there and have full translation skills listening to Aunts/Uncles and Cousins for years. It is truly fascinating, with Scottish and their different words like "Tatties" which is potatoes and "Fit" which is "What" , "lass" which is "girl". It is a foreign language to the English.

And whats about Manchester accent?, its so particular, like the form of speak of the Gallagher brother, the way that they pronunce words like "Sunshine" or "shine" its so funny
that’s only a specific part of south manchester where people sound like that tho, greater manchester probably has the greatest variation of accents in the whole country
In the North East there is a little more than just Geordie and i find the Northumberland accent for example to be different to let's say Newcastle/Gateshead/South Shields, because i can usually understand what they are saying, but i can only get the jist of a conversation right in the heart of geordieland. Sunderland and East Durham is also different, as is my accent which is Northern RP as can be common in posher parts in the North East. A Cleveland accent is again different the ones mentioned earlier. Would be interested on seeing videos a level down to look at variations within a particular region.

It's funny because as an American, we often just group them all into general "British" accent, yet I could hear and recognize the distinction in each one.
Some might, most don't.
We tend to lump US accents together, even though we know there is no one American accent.
The girl can’t do the accents properly, she did them terribly
I'm from the west country and have to say she was pretty spot on with the accent, Most of us do sound like Farmers unless your posh
Many Americans lump Australian, NZ, and S. African all in with British, which seems dumb...but few Brits can differentiate Canadian from American anyway.
Ya think UK has much accents? Go to Switzerland, we have one for each person...
Or each valley, which is nearly the same thing
That is because too much hill valley and bunker,especially last one..
Yeah, but you guys don't speak English so most people wouldn't even notice.

As a fan of College Humor and a VO artist working on my accents, I was shocked and also thrilled to see Siobhan here 😂
From southeastern U.S., she’s charming, spritely and cute as a button. I wonder if she’s considered cheeky? 🤷🏻♂️
Not sure the name of the accent, but in Braveheart there’s a line I love. William goes to pick up Murron (🤤) in the rain. Her father’s answer is “not the now”. With the accent, it’s so awesome. OH! And though I doubt Brits even hear it, the substitution of “me” for “my” is simply divine!
I know we in the States are annoying as we gush over your accents, but suppressing a compliment IN PERSON is almost asking too much. I try to hold out, knowing we do it so much. You have no idea.

Just wanna say that really nailing a dialect is super difficult, many actors fall short even with intensive training from a dialect coach. So I think this is impressive
I think it’s a bit bold of her to say she knows all these accents when she butchered the Scottish ones.
From my experience of hearing locals speak all of these accents she's missed the mark on pretty much all of them. Can't fault her enthusiasm though.

Dear Siobhan, the 'æ' in the word 'accent' that you articulated at the beginning of the video (around 0:02) was so extraordinarily resounding that the sound is still echoing in my head.
Her accents a bit weird. She sounds like one of those British people who's lived in America for too long.
My grandma sounds like that but a bit more English, I think from living with my grandpa who didn’t care to try to change it, and was very stubborn, and worked with English people in his job.
Yeah, I thought so too. Her RP 'Queen's English' seemed really mild.
Oof. My cousin apparently sounds American when she speaks English. She hasn't left Europe as far as I'm aware of.
I sound like that because I'm British but have a shit load of American mates who I speak to daily on Discord
Yes, u nailed it
I met someone who spoke in heightened RP as his natural accent. It was amazing honestly.
@ʜɪ ʜɪ Received Pronunciation- the well-spread accent that you can find across England (and to some extent beyond) in middle and upper class society.
Was it Jacob Rees-Mogg?
I can just imagine. Rom instead of room and I bid you good day sir!!!!!!, when miffed.
I had a lecturer who spoke heightened RP and his lectures were undoubtedly the highlight of my schedule. A particular joy was a 20 minute tangent about the history of gin, which was truly magnificent.

There are multiple accents in Dublin. She was close to one of the more posh ones.
Yeah, the UK's plethora of accents is pretty crazy, given its small size. I live in Liverpool, for example, and all you need to do is go around 15 miles down the motorway and you have Warrington, whose accent is entirely distinguishable and different from the Liverpool accent. Another 20 miles and you have Manchester, whose accent again is entirely different. Brilliant.

East end accent today is now middle Eastern with a compleate makeover of culture ..
Big cities can be crazy like that, NYC used to have a bunch of different accents for example. I knew someone who was a teacher there briefly in the 50s or 60s and she even had a couple students that were born and raised there that barely spoke English since they were raised in Little Italy and plenty of people had different accents based on neighborhood. Brooklyn accent, Bronx accent, Queens accent, and tons of foreign accents. Despite that alot of people think the NYC accent is all Brooklyn, and London gets a similar treatment.
You'd be lucky to find a cockney accent in the East End nowadays.
after 10 years of videos in English subtitled in English and Italian I can say I understand what an Englishman says. It's incredible how many different types of accents I can pick up and for some people (especially educated ones) I can understand around 99% of the words and for others the percentage of words I understand drops to 90-95%. For some others the percentage drops dramatically 🥰 from italy

swear her london accent was cockney though
Cockney isn't really an accent at all. It's rather like a dialect. If you're interested, Kate Arnett explains Cockney in depth on Anglophenia Ep. 36. It originally described the word substitution dialect used by people in a geographically defined area of the the London East End. Ms. Arnett's episode provides a nice intro. Of course I'm not from London and can only presume Ms. Arnett knows what she is talking about. As she exlains it, cockney is a native of East London, traditionally one born within hearing of the St. Mary Le-Bow church bells located within the city of London.

Like welsh accent sounds like the language in the way of pronunciation
I don't know much about the language history of the uk but Wales, Scotland, Ireland and Cornwall spoke celtic languages and because that they sound in the words of my Welsh Mother. "Like uneducated cabbage farmers."
North East England was taken over by the vikings, perhaps some old Norse got in the accents? villages did get a bit of old Norse in village names like Grimsby which means "Grim's Village" Grim was the guy who founded it so I guess he's a creative chap
Enjoy this rant about history, cabbage farmers and a Norwegian fisherman.
The biggest thing that people get wrong when trying to speak in a Yorkshire accent is that you'll find very few people actually say " t' " anything. The t' that most imitators put in is really exaggerated as you find the overwhelming majority or locals will actually speak with a glottal stop instead. As a result of the perceived exaggeration it ends up making people's imitations sound more like a piss take than an attempt at mimicry. Only a minor thing, but it would really make you sound a lot more convincing.
Yorkshire is a big place with a larger population that the entirety of Scotland and everyone of those people I have ever met are all "going t' shop, overt' road."
I have never met someone from Yorkshire who doesn't sat 't'
Rory Oliver & Mimi W I did say very few, I didn't say none. Whilst the people from Yorkshire you've met may pronounce it that way, I can guarantee you the vast majority will not, and I can say with a very high level of confidence that having lived in Yorkshire all my life, that I'll have a larger sample size to base my statement on.
I am from west yorkshire so... we're all poor and we can't be arsed pronouncing a whole word haha
Rory Oliver Daley You're kind of both right. In a Yorkshire accent t' as she pronounced it means 'to the'. "going to the shop" would be "going t' shop". Many people trying to immitate the accent incorrectly think that it means 'the' without the 'to'.
In this video however, she actually goes the other way: using t' in sentences which dont include the word 'the'. She is actually saying "So across the Pennines to the Yorkshire" and "One does not simply walk in to the Mordor" which is why it sounds jarring. Here there should be no glottal stop. The t should sound like first syllable of tomato. She gets it pretty much right when she says "I'm going to the pub up the hill" though.
So funny! “… but she got fired because no one could understand her.” “All I want to do is dance ‘bally’ but me dad makes me box.” The accents are very good and all however, it’s the commentary and delivery that got me howling with laughter. Thanks for that!

So Taggart is actually a Glaswegian? "There has ben camatted a mrrrrrdrrrrrr."
A very pleasant presentation, yet you missed some of the juiciest, most choking-inducing features of several of the dialects, such as the fricatives of Liverpool and the ejectives of Newcastle. I would also have enjoyed hearing some of the rough, velar-uvular /r/ of seaside Sheffieldian (if I am not mistaken), -- as it would be coming from otherwise such a gentle lady : )

My boyfriend replaces some of his “th” sounds with “f” so like when he says “nothing” it sounds like “nofing”. Sometimes the “ng” has almost a “nk” sound as well. Is that a particular accent or is it grouped in with the London accent (he’s from London)?
UPDATE: I have discovered that this a Cockney accent (still London).
'ats nuffink
I just realised my teachers trained me out of this! I learned to speak with a Cockney accent because that's how my dad spoke, but when we were learning phonetics and such at school, they stopped me from adding Ks to the end of ng and from using f instead of th :/
Dump him.

When you said 'Cheryl Cole was fired from the XFactor bc no one could understand what she said' I'm laughing so hard with that phrase LMAO 😂
you missed Essex man that accents well good
It's the same as the London one. She has exaggerated all of the accents way too much.
Essex isn't exactly the same as Cockney - its about as similar as Cornish is to Somerset
JakeHRogers really good way of putting it
my essex accent is like the london one lol
southend is like london, north essex aint
Seems like a lot people are offended in the comments haha
Not offended, just bemused to think she had the stupidity to attempt this.
Yep. Alot of people are offended.
Well I’m from east anglia but I don’t sound like that. I’m not offended I just don’t sound like that lol
Loved it and very accurate. I was a computer engineer and consultant for many years so I went everywhere in the UK so have experience of all these accents. My Mum was Scottish from near Inverness so spent many holidays there and have full translation skills listening to Aunts/Uncles and Cousins for years. It is truly fascinating, with Scottish and their different words like "Tatties" which is potatoes and "Fit" which is "What" , "lass" which is "girl". It is a foreign language to the English.
I am not British or Native English speaker and English is my THIRD language, but I really love all the accents of Britain ❤️😍
How many Irish folk read this as TURD language in their heads???
@@drewr5171 and how many stokies read it as FURD
What's your native language? I'm struggling to even learn a second language, it's amazing you know three!
@@imsittingonmarsI am Kurd and live in Kurdistan(Iraq part) My native language is Hawrami, and also because I live among Kurdish people who speak Kurdish(Sorani) I also know that. In school I learnt English, Arabic and Turkish. So it becomes 5 languages, and I am a language person so I tried to learn German as well, and now I know 6 languages at the age of 19 😊.
@@dastaniam Wow, that is really impressive! I'm struggling to learn a third (Italian). My first language is Polish and my second is English but I'm a self-trained bilingual!
And whats about Manchester accent?, its so particular, like the form of speak of the Gallagher brother, the way that they pronunce words like "Sunshine" or "shine" its so funny
that’s only a specific part of south manchester where people sound like that tho, greater manchester probably has the greatest variation of accents in the whole country
The north of Manchester accent sounds different to the south Manchester accent, like the way they pronounce manny, north: man-neh, south: man-nee
I was tad bummed she didn't do our accent, haha!
I've never heard a non-Manc do a convincing Mancunian accent.
Jessica Marie I mean that’s not true at all lol it’s more a class thing im from south manchester and when I grew up I pronounced it man-eh
I think you were doing ok until you murdered the Scottish accents.

"There's been a muhrdarr. Of an accent."
I was wondering why Robert Burns was suddenly from Inverness 😂😂
Linda Tannock Ayr is a long way from Inverness.
@@RACHELTAYLOR7 exactly!! Lol 👏🏻
In the North East there is a little more than just Geordie and i find the Northumberland accent for example to be different to let's say Newcastle/Gateshead/South Shields, because i can usually understand what they are saying, but i can only get the jist of a conversation right in the heart of geordieland. Sunderland and East Durham is also different, as is my accent which is Northern RP as can be common in posher parts in the North East. A Cleveland accent is again different the ones mentioned earlier. Would be interested on seeing videos a level down to look at variations within a particular region.
