The UK is england, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland mate
Ye they are in the uk
Yep, i was about to explain that to him. haha
That was a bit painful xD
Love your comment as I was just going to tell him to look up Countries in the Uk . We’re not all English. 💜💜
As a Northern Irish person...thank you....thank you so fking much man 😭
The moment he said he thought some Scottish and Irish people must have immigrated to the U.K i RANNNN to the comments!
I know alot if Americans are not aware that the UK consists of N. Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England but I still giggle when I hear it...sorry.
The translation of '"Llanfairpwllgwynllandisilliogochgoghgoch' is "The church of St. Mary in the hollow of white hazel trees near the rapid whirlpool by St. Tysilio's of the red cave" :)
Now that's what you call overly specific 😂
@@Matthew_Rushton It is indeed. I love it lol!
1. Most Irish accents wouldn't count as UK accents but Northern Ireland accents do.
2. That final Cockney clip wasn't a real Cockney accent but a terrible attempt by Dick Van Dyke.
3. Glaswegian is not an English accent influenced by Ireland or Scotland, it's just a Scottish accent from Glasgow.
4. The UK is not just England, it includes Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland as I mentioned earlier, although there is Irish influence on Brummie and Scouse accents because of immigration like you said.
Wales Wales Wales Wales Wales
Muppet
When I saw Mary Poppins as a kid I figured that Burt was an American living in London.
The second Cockney accent was an American, Dick van Dyke, doing a bad Cockney accent.
Spot on!
Some of these examples were done so quickly it was difficult to pick up anything from it. For example the Ozzy and Sharon clip hardly focused on Ozzy who definately has a strong Birmingham accent. This was very rushed and if I didn't live in the UK and know these accents already I don't think I would have learnt much from it tbh
Exactly, Mojo are really bad with these kind of videos. They frustratingly always rush examples with what they see as an entertaining clip of something, but doesn't demonstrate the thing clearly
He was reacting to a pretty crap video
I’m Welsh and Llanfairpwllgwyngyll is a real place in Anglesey in North Wales. The U.K has many accents.
Random question, can most of the Welsh people you know pronounce the name?
I ask because as an English lass there're a lot of English place names I and people I know cant pronounce
@@sparklypeanuts Maybe 50% of the people I know.
@@Jo.H. that's a pretty bloody good percentage!
@@sparklypeanuts I have family in North Wales and they speak Welsh.
Welsh speakers can, but most from the North of Wales have a good bash at it.
Excellent Scouse (Liverpudlian) accent is Craig Charles, star of sci-fi comedy Red Dwarf. Everything about that show still holds up. Especially the humor.
The entry at 4:11 West Country accent can be roughly translated to “ A hedge is a hedge isn’t it… (no idea)… what’s he moaning about.” The Movie is Hot Fuzz. And if you haven’t seen it before you need to fix that. Absolute zenith level comedy. Also watch Shaun of the Dead. Same cast and production. Also amazing comedy.
"hedge is a hedge innit - I only chopped it down 'cos I couldn't see the view no more - what’s he moaning about" ...my neighbour spoke like this lol
I’m so glad that you posted this, because I’ve been fascinated with YOUR accent! I know you’re originally from Jamaica, and Westerners like myself are only vaguely aware of the Jamaican dialect. I became truly enamored of it when I saw the UK film “Babylon” a couple years ago (it’s from 1980, you must watch it!). The UK/Jamaican Patois in Babylon sounded like poetry to my ears- and it’s far less comprehensible than any of the UK accents in the video you’re reacting to- so much so, that the film has special subtitles! From what I gather, the west-Indian influence on UK English over the last 50+ years is significant- I was surprised it wasn’t mentioned.
Geordie here, I've had so many people just ask me to speak or to do an Ant & Dec impression when I'm out in other cities, everyone seems to think they can do a decent Geordie accent but they really can't, always funny to hear them try though
They fail. Everytime. Doylems 🤣
Manchester has at least 4 distinct accents. I'm Mancunian & I sound nothing like the accent in this video. The West Country one you couldn't get was a parody from the film "Hot Fuzz."
🏴🏴 cheeky little clip of Goldie Looking Chain included there 😂
The West Country Farmer says:
“A hedge is a hedge in’t it? I only chopped it down because I couldn’t see the view no more. What’s people moaning about?”
Very exaggerated but funny. A clip from Hot Fuzz.
Funny, and interesting video. You did pretty good, Jay😄
I'm from Cornwall in the Westcountry and some old timers definitely sound like that, especially after they've been on the cider 😂
I can pronounce that long Welsh place name….it took me a while because I’m not Welsh. I was born in Lancashire, brought up in Manchester so I say path and bath. In London they’d say parth and barth etc. I can do pretty reasonable copies of many accents in the U.K. because I’ve lived in many places and I’m a good mimic…but I think Geordie (from Newcastle) is the hardest. Not only do accents have different pronunciation they also have different ‘tunes’….Brummies always seem to sound depressed to me and Scousers sound happier, for example.
You should see the railway station sign at Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch Jay!
Accents in the UK can change every few miles, literally. About 5 miles in one direction and they sound like Oasis and 5 miles in another and they sound like Peter Kay
I am amazed, this was fascinating!!!
There are very many more British accents than these 10. It’s not a great base video itself as the clips are mostly of actors and comedians trying and failing to portray the accents or, as with ‘Cockney’ misrepresenting Michael Caine’s South London accent. This is more nasal than true Cockney which is East London.
If you listen carefully to the commentary it’s spoken in light Scouse.
You might do better to watch the young Korean guy on UA-cam do translations of British accents. His Brummie/Black County and Geordie v Mackem (Sunderland) is very good.
Yes, I can pronounce in full the Welsh village place name. It’s usually abbreviated to ‘LlanfairPG’.
I live in Birmingham, that was rude although my accent consists of a mixture of Jamaican, Bristol and Birmingham. I came to England when I was 9years old I picked up the Bristolian straight away, then moved to Birmingham at 18 years old then came the Brummy. So I talk with three different accents all jumbled into one.
The Birmingham/Brummie accent was mocked and vilified far more 40 years ago Semone:)
@@Isleofskye Honestly Peaky Blinders has really helped haha
@@Relyx Yes,Tyler:)
Good Reaction as always Jayvee.
There is another video with 30 regional British accents and sometimes you can travel 20 miles in many places inn The UK where the accent changes quite noticeably:)
I'm from England. When I jumped into a cab in Boston 30 years ago the driver asked me where I was from. 'England' I said. His response was 'is that in London?' Still chuckle about this. Love your channel J. Got a song reaction for you, 'Grip' released in '77 by The Stranglers
There’s a couple of videos if you want to check out more different British accents. There’s the channel Anglophenia where Siobhan Thompson does different regional accents and comedian Jimmy Carr also has a video on his channel where he does different accents.
I’m from Wrexham in North Wales. With it being close to the border with England where a lot of people have gone over to live and work, the accent is a mix of Welsh and Northern English (and sometimes Scouse).
I'm from Flint but brought up in Scotland 😁 I used to have more of a Scouse accent than a Welsh one!
My mum's dad was cockney. My dad's dad was Jordie. Iam Fair Dinkum Aussie since I emigrated when I was 4yrs old. Love Australia!
Hilarious how they use Michael Caine as an example of cockney 🤣🤣 he's not a cockney he's from bloody elephant and castle in South London .
"There must be Scottish and Irish settlers in the UK" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂👍👍 love you! Xxxx
I knew the Geordie accent would be pretty high/No.1 on the list. I am a Geordie and proud to be.
I'm just outside of London, so my accent is probably what you considered regular, but you can hear differences in the different directions of outside London!!
Most of these weren't that broad an accent, strong accents in any region are hard to follow sometimes!
I'm Welsh and I can pronounce that long word. It's actually a train station!
Ps I have visited that Welsh place. I can say most of it but sometimes I keep leaving bits out. Something like "Llanfairpwllgwynllandisilliogochgoghgoch" 😂. My natural accent is London
There are different regional accents but also variations of those accents within the same region. For example, you can probably hear the difference between how Paul McCartney speaks and how Craig Charles from Red Dwarf speaks (the first clip with the guy talking about breeding mould in a cup lol) In Liverpool it tends to be a north/south thing with a stronger accent in the north of the city and a softer accent in the south of the city. I’d say my accent is somewhere in the middle of Paul McCartney and Craig Charles. Also, Scouse is heavily influenced by Irish and Welsh, a lot of people from the city will have ancestors from those countries.
I'd love to see you react to videos with more British accents! The Yorkshire one for example. Hopefully there is a video where you get to hear more of them speaking, not just one or two sentences. 🙏
There is a video of regional accents and dialogue on UA-cam that shows you the difference between counties all over the UK.
Please react to wind of change by scorpions
Hi Jayvee! I am from the north west of England. There are so many regions and dialects like many say on here. I class myself as a Lancashire lass. The town i am from is part of a region called Greater Manchester. Lancashire is a county in the north west of England.
I find Scottish accents the sexiest for me. My husband is a Scot.
That long Welsh word was the name of a train station in Wales. A lot of places there do start with double letters - two LL’s quite a bit. And sounds like CLLL or it feels like you are spitting like a cat does when pronouncing them - so you would say Clandundno - but it’s spelt Llandudno which is a place in Wales.
This is the train station wording from before - llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
The long Welsh name is a small town in Anglesey an Island off the North coast of Wales & I lived there for five years usually know in short as Llanfire PG
Ha ha even we have problems with accents !! I made friends with a girl from Wakefield, couldn't understand her for couple Days lol, also they always get Norfolk mixed up with Somerset !!! I watched a film about the IRA and Ireland during the troubles and turned off because the thick accents were beyond me !! Lovely to keep accents and cause confusion and humour lol
I understand nothing but i love how Paul Mccartney speaks😍 i was waiting for my beloved Stephen Fry to speak 10:34 i love the way he does
I had a friend from Manchester...So distant from the Oxford English I learned in school :)) !
3:17 David from coronation street
Ulster (Northern Ireland) and Scotland are still part of the UK, that's why they're included as British accents.
Also, since they're mentioned in this video, you should watch Broadchurch and Peaky Blinders, both very good shows =)
Here you have a great Scotish actor pronouncing that Welsh town XD
ua-cam.com/video/0VsN7r5vqAU/v-deo.html
If you haven't already, I'd recommend watching Hot Fuzz😎
Oh definitely!!!
Bless! No :) Britain is the island that consists of Scotland, Wales and England. The UK is those three countries, plus Northern Ireland. These are all UK accents.
Hey nice video bro; your videos are awesome! Can you plzzzz do another Bee Gees reaction video, especially the “our love, don’t throw it all away” performed live in 1997? It was a emotional video filled with emotions remembering Andy
I like it when you do English stuff makes a change for me from jps doing it all
I love their accents
The weird thing is you can drive 50 miles and notice that people are speaking differently.
The long Welsh Town / village name is bugger to pronounce for those who don't speak Welsh, and even my dad who was born in Wales , shortens it to Llanfair PG. I love the Welsh language as its a lovely language when spoken by a native person Cymraeg( Welsh person) its magical.
The accent that is almost impossible to copy is Broad Norfolk. Even professional character actors have problems and often sound like Devon or Cornwall.
Yet right there boi.
I always struggle with accents and dialects, even in my own Dutch language
As the guy said. Look at a world map... Th e UK is comprised of England,Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
The Irish from Ireland who are an independent country and sound alot different to the Northern Irish. It still baffles me they don't teach Americans geography and the world map. So so many yanks have no idea what the world looks like. Some think Africa is a country. I know this is harsh but very true. Not even the presidents have a clue.
The Welsh language is beautiful to hear.
There is a very funny British comedian who does a talk about the how much English changes as you go from east to west. His name is Michael McIntyre. He has many many funny stories.
I was looking for reactions on youtube and I found your channel I loved it and I already signed up I live in Brazil if you want to react some songs from here I'll send you a link there are some very peculiar songs lol
I am italian, so I don't speak english or american so fluently, i understand what they say in some of these accents. Very interesting this video, now i'll try to imitate these! Some are so hard to do.. 🌸💗😅
It's not just accents, there's actually a few different languages that are native to the UK too. Though some are becoming increasingly rare and on the verge of being extinct. There's Welsh, Scottish Gaelic, Scots, Irish, Ulster Scots, Cornish, Manx, Jèrriais, Guernésias and of course British sign language and Northern Irish sign language. There's also languages that are hybrids developed by immigrants like you were thinking (though all UK languages are such to some extent, English itself being a hybrid of German, Celtic, Norwegian and French). There's Angloromani, Shelta and Beurla Reagaird, all romani based hybrids used by traveller communities.
On UA-cam today, you can find songs that people have rewritten into actual ancient celtic and the tunes altered into bardcore. They're a surprisingly fun listen.
Our history of trying to standardise the world to speak English might make modern day communication easier, but it's still such a tragedy that so much language and culture was lost as a result, even here in the British Isles. There's a history of even trying to stamp out forms of sign language, for a while learning BSL was discouraged, the deaf community were expected to lip read and speak, to try to "normalise" them. And old Kentish sign language was last recorded in the 17th century, lost before that.
Your reaction made me laugh out loud!
I speak in a Scots accent (not Glaswegian).
Your good at accents javon. 😂😁 I'm from Lancashire. But my mother is Welsh Tenby
Hi, I'm Welsh and can definitely pronounce that very long place name which is in Anglesey, North Wales. I've visited several times. You often see Americans having their photo taken under the sign x
About the long place name in Wales. There are plenty of Welsh people can't say it and the locals call it Llanfair PG for short.
The UK is England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and they all have regional accents as well.
I live 34 miles from Newcastle but I’m not a geordie even though im from the north east of England
That was mine ( no 9 ) the one that oasis has Mancunian --- accent you was going to try it!! but changed your mind😂. (My mum is ) Welsh
From England .... LOL ..loved your reaction ... I cannot understand the Welsh ....Scotland or ..Irish
His face during hot fuzz was hilarious
I'm from Co.Durham North East England people say we are Geordies but as any Geordie will tell we aren't, my accent is called Pitmatic but it's very similar to Geordie. I was in North Wales with mates and in a shop the ladies heard us and swapped from English to Welsh so we went into proper Pitmatic and they stood there dumbfounded.
No mention of the most difficult. The East Anglian accent. No one, but no one… unless you are from there can do it. When any actor tries it, they immediately slip into West Country accent. Great review. Yes there is a Llanfair PG. it’s a real place. Great vid as always.👍
East Anglia has more than one lol
Oh I'd love for you to have a look at one (or more) clips of "Limmy's Show", where that Glaswegian clip came from, and see how much you do understand of it HEHEH
I’m near Newcastle so sound very Geordie a lot of Londoners don’t understand me and yes many English have Irish, Scottish and Welsh ancestors we call that Gaelic
The accent video is total bollocks, all those accents were toned down TV accents!
Tru Say,Mi Bredda.
Preach Those Words,Mi Bredrin...
Hi Jay, the only true way to appreciate accents is to visit the Cities/ Towns etc....My Mum is Liverpudlian & one of my Grandaughters is half Welsh, my husband's from Leicester & I'm from Lincoln.
Imagine what that's like at reunions.😂🤣
"you know what....nevermind...." HAHA indeed :)
2:44 yeah he’s saying Dick Van Dyke did cockney badly, cause it was very bad in Mary Poppins 😂
Don’t ever go to WM for this kind of thing! Dreadful channel. You’ll find plenty of channels where they talk you through and show you far more clearly the differences
Jay I could of easily said the llanfairpwllgwy etc for you when I was playing that quiz with you mate, it's only down the road from me!! If only you knew then lol
Yes it's a real place...
Yes I can pronounce it properly... Even though I'm from Birmingham (and therefore "dumb", apparently).
Even the locals abbreviate it to "Llanfair P. G."
Like a lot of Welsh place names, it's a description of the place when translated from Welsh to English.
I think they use very watered down accents on this video. They're mild versions.
Geordie is easy, I love listening to people trying to speak our language, Its a lot like Scottish language we use a lot of the same words.
have a south London accent 🤣🤣🤣been in west county for years 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You should watch NATIONAL LAMPOON’S LOADED WEAPON 1
I just kept laughing,No way could I even understand what was said to imitate.The newsman forget that....whaaaaat!?😂
6:33 Descendants of Ireland and Scotland emigrated to the UK??? my mind is blown. Northern Ireland and Scotland is IN the UK.
A Mike Harding quote regarding the Birmingham accent, ' They don't talk, they sing and if you haven't got the music you're bu###red.
4:37 caretaker with the cat from Harry potter
The West country accent in "Hot Fuzz" [the policemen clip] has been exaggerated .
I've only heard anything close to that once, and that was an old cornish fella
Or Llanfair PG as it is often known.
Love your reactions brother you should react to rush 2112 with lyrics its 20 minz long it blow you away...its set in the future and he finds a guitar but the priests wint accept it its a masterpiece brother enjoy
Accents in England did not come frome Scotland or Ireland, the UK is the United Kingdom, which consists of Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland, now Scotland use to have its own language and some people still speak it, Wales still has its own language and they still speak it as well as English, and Northern Ireland still speak Irish but mainly English, the English language came from the Anglo-Saxon,s which invaded Celt Land which is what England use to be called, so develoed the English language and Celt Land became England and the English language, we have so many accents because we were invaded alit threw history and everyone wanted the English throne, it was a bit like game of thrones. We also have so many different words for the same thing uts like a complete different language when you go to another county in England.
Both Scotland and Northern Ireland are in the UK...
This is a bit old school, but you should definitely react to Freddie Mercury - Barcelona. The song is utterly jaw dropping
lololol i thought this title said "top 10 hardest uk inmates" 😂😆😭💀
I live in west country lol some old people do actually sound similar to that, its called the west country yip
The potteries . Cost kik a baw ganst a waw en yed et til it bosts . Can you kick a ball against a wall and head it until it bursts.
The first Scots accent was Glaswegian,my native tongue
I'm northern irish or Ulster scotts it's thee most hardest for folk to copy,,Brad Pitt playing IRA man in Devils Owns was awfull but Mr Campbell in peaky blinders did my Belfast accent brilliant
I love your accent Javaughn.
I’m from Yorkshire England 🏴 lol 😂
Dick van dyke bless him only agreed to do Chitty Chitty Bang Bang as long as he didn't have to put a British accent on because of the stick he got for Mary Poppins which was more Australian than cockney
please do a video reaction 2nd most popular song every month in the 70's pop culture channel
I can pronounce that Welsh name, normally after 8 pints.
I bet you can't.
@@philjones45 you are right. It was tongue in cheek after 8 pints I slur a lot.
The black American vernacular comes from the west coast of England
