I study British accents as a hobby and an English-Speaking Canadian/US citizen. You couldn't have uploaded a video about the Mancunian Accent at a better time - I'm currently studying the accent in depth. Your video adds to my collection of resources for better understanding and learning the Mancunian accent and will come in handy down the line. Thanks in a million mate.
Proper Mancunian here. Good luck studying our accent. We’re the polar opposite of what people expect to be standard English. Need any help, reply to this! Good luck 🙂
Thanks for reaching out Cole. Is it true Mancunians prononce the long i sound as an air sound in following words - alright, nice, alive, high, and fight?
@@kareemdjerdjouri2231 This is gonna sound dumb but look for a video of a character called Psycho Paul from a show called Ideal. He's doing an exaggerated version of what you're talking about. It's not normally that pronounced and not all Mancs do it. Also the lady in the video forgot one thing which is that a lot of Mancs will swap th sounds for f or v but the effs and vees aren't themselves interchangeable. Muvoh = mother but can never be muffoh baff = bath but can never be bav
As a Manc, I wasn’t aware of just how extreme feature 7 was in my accent until working with folks from abroad who can speak English but had never lived in the UK. For instance, when I say ‘I don’t want to’ it sounds more like ‘A dow’ wa’ a’.
I'm so chuffed to have found this channel. I've had a deep love and fascination with accents and dialects for as long as I can remember. As a Manc myself this seems pretty spot on to me. I would have loved it if this video could have gone more into the nuances of the different Manc accents/dialect, such as going through some of the differences found regionally, or between social classes. If anyone knows of a video that includes these please lmk. That being said, this video is fantastic. It does a great job of explaining and demonstrating the accent with great examples in a really stylish and easy to understand way. This is an excellent resource for anyone, especially beginners, learning it. I'm excited to explore the rest of the channel!
Interesting. I’m a Native Texan in my 60’s. I grew up dropping the g’s off the ending of words. Walkin’ Goin’ I’ve heard that a lot of the Southern American accents have many similarities with the British accents. We also are prone to drop the r’s at the end of words, too. Fathah, instead of father. However, in the past, we have added r’s to words: Wash becomes warsh
Sabrah, LOVED your video and I have just now discovered your channel! Being American I know we have all kinds of accents around our country, but to my ear they don't vary from each other as much as UK accents do. For some British movies I have to use captions! I watch some UA-camrs from Kent and have trouble with that--what kind of accent is that called? As a retired educator, I have always been so interested in linguistics. Thanks so much!😄
So glad you loved it ! So the Kent accent is a little bit like a London accent although the vowel sounds change slightly. It is sometimes known as the estuary accent. Have a look at videos on the Essex accent as it is similar. Thank you so much for your comment and I am a fan of the US!
Thanks for this! I'm an American and I'm *obsessed* with the Manchester accent! The other day I randomly came across a UA-camr doing a gaming stream, immediately clocked him as a Manchurian. He was so happy that I recognized his accent, we became friends right away :))
It's a great explanation of the Manchester accent, also how the tone of voice is generally deeper. Just watch Coronation St ( these days) , you can hear it. Though it was all different 30 to 50 years ago.
Thanks! I've been setting up a bit of a comedy skit and when talking to friends who are not from Britain about accents, I decided it would be a good thing to do this, so am looking to learn a few. I was in Manchester recently so am going to use my experience. Also helps I love watching the classic Coronation Street episode with 'me mam and dad' 😂 I'm from Hertfordshire and we often drop our H's at the start of a lot of words too.
i’ve never ever been to manchester before, partly because it’s like 3 or 4 hours away from where i live but i really want to go there not only for like a small holiday but also because i wanna kind of adapt the accent because i have a plain british accent and it’s boring so i wanna kind of have a manchester accent permanently if that makes sense
Absolutely brilliant! I’m from West Midlands Black Country (Tipton) you may have heard of it Its only a small town Always gets roped in with Birmingham, and our accent I’d completely different! Even to another town a lot close to us Dudley, and that’s only 5 miles away! (Gornal)

Living in manchester as an expat, not understanding their accent is such a pain. I have no idea how to learn it and I'm in despair. This video has relieved me a bit. At least I can learn from videos of carl pilkington as much as possible. Thank you so much Yiu.
Pilkington is not 100%. His accent has Altrincham/Cheshire in it. Might be a bit difficult to notice but being a 56 year old Manc it stands out a mile. Honestly
Dear Sabrah.Thank you for teaching and guiding me through my International First Year Media and Communication in 2021, I have now been awarded a 2:1 Honours Bachelor's Degree in Media from Bournemouth University, after which I will go on to pursue a postgraduate degree in a media related subject in the UK! kind regards Yichen
Dear Madam Teacher Sabrah,thank you so incredibly much for these lessons about different accents in the UK! There are so helpful and useful! I really,truly appreciate it.Warm greetings from the Central Europe. Have a nice,pleasant summer-time and take care.
Interesting, thanks! Your "walking to work" was a bit off (vowel sound on the southern side for "walk"), and you pronounce "waiting" in a sort of Oldham way. I think there's a lot of variation even within Manc though.
I'm Australian. My grandfather came from Bolton. He didn't drop g's at the end of words; he pronounced them and other endings quite distinctly: brin-g, thin-g, fil-m etc. Has that practice changed over time, or do ppl from Bolton speak differently from Mancunians, even though they're only 20km apart?
From what I have experienced in England (only been twice), there are so many different accents, which can be different from literally one town to the next. In the city of London, there are so very many, different accents as well.
Mancunian and Boltonian are pretty different, but the same with regards to 'ng'. When they do pronounce an 'ng' sound it always has a full [g] on it, so eg. singer rhymes with finger. This is probably why it's so common to drop the g entirely and end a lot of -ing words -in', because it can sound a bit over-enunciated otherwise. This trait is found across to Liverpool and down to Birmingham, and it's actually the older pronunciation for 'ng' sounds. Regarding 'fil-m', I'm not so sure about that one. Irish people and Geordies both sometimes say 'fillum', but I've never heard that in North West England. Maybe it was more widespread in your grandad's day? Alternatively, if you're Australian you might have L-vocalisation- so maybe the absence of L-vocalisation is what sounds distinct to you?
Not sure why he pronounced the g at the end. Bolton and Manchester has a lot of differences but that isn't one of them. The biggest is the difference in words like "down", Manchester pretty standard "down", Bolton "daown", thousand, "Thaosand". Also because it is slightly further north, Bolton goes more Lancashire so gate becomes "gaate", and stone becomes "stoone". Watch the comedian Peter Kay for an example.
@@briwire138 People in Manchester also pronounce the 'g' at the end. It's to do with something called 'NG-coalescence', or more accurately - a lack of NG-coalescence. If you're from the region you probably don't realise the way we say 'ng' is unusual to the rest of the world (I didn't until reading about it). Basically for most of the world 'ng' has coalesced into a single sound halfway between an 'n' and a 'g', but for us it's still very much two consonant sounds, and the proper [g] sound we say stands out to others. Or, we drop the 'g' entirely in a phrase like 'what's happenin'?'.
Yiu you are an amazing inspirational educator, i really enjoyed your relaxed and pleasant way go through these lessons please make one videos about IELTS general letter and essay with vital phrases ❤
Hey Sabrah! Always a stupendous to be here. Hope you are well. Much obliged for your time as well as your lessons. Is laila still in Portugal? We ❤ you to bits. Take care and bye for now.
brilliant. shared with my language buddy. don't forget we can also often drop the T at the end with glottal stop? like Cat becomes "Ca-", it was "Wun' it" not "Wunt it" for example.
I wouldn't care much for the accent since English is spoken with different accents in different parts of UK and then also in other parts of the world.....What's important is the right expression for meaningful exchange of ideas when in a foreign country.....
Im pretty good at accents usually, but i just cant do manc, its so hard, i take it too far and it becomes half scouse - its similar to Northern Ireland for me, really subtle in places but exaggerated in others Yours is very very good
Part of the feature that involves excessive contractions is the elision of the word "the." It gets reduced to just 't' . One of the standard lines in Coronation Street, heard in almost every episode, is "I'll put the kettle on." Sometimes you hear "I'll put t' kettle on." In this case, the t is almost swallowed up by the preceding t in the word "put," and you would almost think the word "the" was completely omitted. In other cases, there wouldn't be a preceding t there, like "in t' back of the shop." What I find challenging about this accent is how some people use glottal stops - and some people do so much more than others - but also use the single-tap r or even trill the r when they're feeling a little boisterous. This clip from over 40 years ago demonstrates this a bit for us. Listen to how a young pup of a Kevin Webster says there was "dirt in the carburetor" of Alf's car. ua-cam.com/video/oW6aJrZBDbw/v-deo.htmlsi=toMvdah_EfSLHJn2
It's been dʊnkeys my lʊvelɛ ;-), I'm so happy that you are back! 😊🤗 🙏 I'm mad for it, Sabrah but still more for you ma belle! ❤ I love it when you do these accents; they sound so beautifully, charmingly and also quite sexy in your mouth and you are seemingly a master at it. I have to say that without your help and this highlighting of the features, I'd probably be fully lost If I judge by the hard time I have understanding some parts of the extracts you proposed and without the subtitles. Lol. That's bonkers! It would certainly require a lot of listening to grab it and get used to it as for most of the other accents by the way. :-) I had a question... Except for the lower pitch and the more nasal stuff, would you say that there are a few common features with the Liverpool accent or are they very different? ... I am always stunned that the accents and their respective features can be so different between 2 regions so close in the UK... Crazy stuff! 😂I wish you could make a dialogue between a Liverpudlian and a Mancunian ;-) Thank you so much Sabrah, great lesson, I loved it; Please keep on it if you can with the Cockney, Brummie, Geordie, Yorkshire, Scouse, Irish, Welsh etc. 👏👏👍 I love you, merci ❤Bisous 😘🌹
The girlfriend of a tennismate is from Manchester and i really must listen carefully what she is saying haha😅 . She lives in Belgium near the Dutch border. I live in Netherlands but i.m more used too american English .
Two other tips: "were" instead of "was". " 'e were vereh 'andeh" "No 'e weren't" Glottal interword "t": party: pahr-ee, substituting a closed throat sound for the "t"
It's rare to hear a non Manc do a decent impression of the City's accent. They usually end up sounding liker the exaggerated accent of Terry Chrisitian or the Gallagher Brothers. Thnakfully our area is blessed with many actors from the region that locals can be used in programmes to do the parts. However, congrats to Phil Glenister, a Londoner, whose accent in portraying Gene Hunt in Life on Mars was quite impressive.
@@JRPO1960 Lol. It is, but we do it in Manc as well. Altho, (without having the decency to be well versed in the history of my own dialect) I'm guessing it might have been initially borrowed from Yorkshire.
To me Northern accents are the most lovliest ones. Used to live in Yorkshire for years and after coming home to my home country, no-one understood me, so I had to learn RP again :D BTW, would love to have a collab (or a live) with you. I might shed some light on how a non-native TEFL had to cope with Northern accents before youtube has popped off and only textbooks were available. Today's learners are so jammy compared to 'missen'... ;)
k I am originally from Manchester ... the oo has variations .. as does pronouncing Manchester .. Man -chist- stor or like me Man-chist-tr then I am educated but still slip into the me and my , and wunt ... depending whom I am talking to.. my wife is from the US and complains "slow down! your words all run into each other!!"
Same with me. Also, in nearly all circumstances, any terminal -ing gets the full treatment. It's a pity dialect words and grammatical variations were not mentioned.
I love Manchester Accent. I LOVE IT! For me, one of the top 3 accent.

You left out the shortened pronunciation of couldn't. Probably a good idea.
Steve Coogan sounds very different to the Gallagher brothers
is it thomas shelby accent?
No that is Birmingham.
Sabrah Laila is more...
my crush in the caothang campus the asian international school f4 primary is bella2
Th and f sound exactly the same.. people can't tell if I am saying free or three because they sound exactly the same
I enjoy listening to Angela Rayner but don't expect to speak with Manchester's accent.
It's rare to hear a non Manc do a decent impression of the City's accent. They usually end up sounding liker the exaggerated accent of Terry Chrisitian or the Gallagher Brothers. Thnakfully our area is blessed with many actors from the region that locals can be used in programmes to do the parts. However, congrats to Phil Glenister, a Londoner, whose accent in portraying Gene Hunt in Life on Mars was quite impressive.
My like is the eighth 😀 happy to see you again
Thanks so much ! Thanks for your support !
This accent is closer to european pronunciation of U or A sounds

I thought “summat” was summat a Yorkshireman would say?

Lol. It is, but we do it in Manc as well. Altho, (without having the decency to be well versed in the history of my own dialect) I'm guessing it might have been initially borrowed from Yorkshire.
watch Life on Mars tv series and that Manchester accent should sound like
The EC twins also
Really should be more of a Reahlleh
To me Northern accents are the most lovliest ones. Used to live in Yorkshire for years and after coming home to my home country, no-one understood me, so I had to learn RP again :D BTW, would love to have a collab (or a live) with you. I might shed some light on how a non-native TEFL had to cope with Northern accents before youtube has popped off and only textbooks were available. Today's learners are so jammy compared to 'missen'... ;)
k I am originally from Manchester ...
the oo has variations ..
as does pronouncing Manchester .. Man -chist- stor
or like me Man-chist-tr
then I am educated but still slip into the me and my , and wunt ... depending whom I am talking to.. my wife is from the US and complains "slow down! your words all run into each other!!"
Is there any shows you can recommend to learn the accent?
Same with me.
Also, in nearly all circumstances, any terminal -ing gets the full treatment.
It's a pity dialect words and grammatical variations were not mentioned.
