My aunt from London came two days ago and said I have a really strong 'brummie' accent, I didn't think it was that strong but apparently so. On certain words, I revert back to my Bolton accent from years ago, but that's on rare days. (I say Birmingham as bur-ming-um, is that weird outside Birmingham? do you pronounce the H??)

Do you mean pronounce the G? Every southerner I've heard pronounces it Birminum. There is a G in there guise.

I have a Scottish accent, but I'm from the Highlands, so my accent is hard to describe. We or at least I don't pronounce t's or l's in the middle of words. So butter would be bu'er, letter is le'er. For those who are from the same area, they might get the joke of "rubber bum'ers" (rubber bumpers, it's a joke about an Invernesian accent.) That's the best way I can even try to describe it. :smile:

Birminum?? That sounds really weird- and yes I do pronounce the G, I thought it was only the H that was different. Never heard that one before, :confused:

With less of a Jamaican accent of course.

I have a mild Manchester accent, not the harsh inner city one but the more toned down suburban one. I've also accidentally picked up a few Boltonian prononcuations as a result of working up there!

Mine's just a pretty standard British accent, no northerly twangs or anything, having grown up predominantly in the south. Since I was a kid people kept on telling me that I sounded "posh" which I never understood since most of them have grown up with me so they should really have the same accent as me and I just thought I sounded the same as everyone else haha

American. kinda valley girl lol

Could be worse :ahee:

My accent is Lancashire, but I tend to try and pronounce words correctly. Sometimes I'm really broad, sometimes I'm really clipped; depends on my mood.
