What accent do you have?

[nupnup]

Just that!

I'll start.

I have a mixed south London accent come Surrey accent.
I basically queens English with a slight chav twang.
Born and raised in south London, moved to Surrey in my teens. It's helped my vocabulary tremendously.

What accent do you have?

A mix of East Anglian and Black Country lurking in the background of a well spoken standard Southern English accent.

Spent a lot of time in Cambridgeshire, so when I say the name Huw/Hugh is sounds like ‘you’ to some people. I say grass like I never moved south and always want to say All around the Wrekin rather than All round Will’s Mother’s to describe long winded journeys.

I absolutely never say singin or givin etc. and nor do I do the sauf east thing of putting w in where it doesn’t go ie meowls instead of meals

Northerners think I sound southern and southerners think I sound Northern. Moved from Lancashire to Essex aged 11. Now late 30s.

I can relate to this massively. I can be a little slack with my T's but I cannot stand dropping T's in things like 'butter' or 'battery'.

And yes yes to sort of adapting to who you're around / the environment.
Sarf London accent is a funny thing as a lot of people I think presume that I am just a chav (which I'm not.. I don't think!)

Another Sarf Londoner, although I can morph into a very neutral accent when required, something I learned to do early on and would come in very handy when pretending to be someone else or persuading others that my accent was not a barrier to gaining a new role - Many years ago, I was turned down for a sales role due to my accent, so rung the sales director to complain about a product. When asked what the company could do to solve the issue, my reply was 'give me the job' and he did!

Fife with a bit of Doric thrown in

Rhotic Lancashire.

Bristolian. Add an S or L on the end of every word and heavy pronounation of R and drop the T.

Looks like it's a running theme for us south Londoners to morph our accent depending on who we're around!

Glad you got the job in the end!

Born and raised in Surrey and my accent is RP. Probably the posher end of RP to be fair, though that doesn't really reflect my roots.

Oddly though a lot of Americans can't understand me, especially when I ask for water. The last time I was in one of the Southern states a friend had to order my water for me because I just couldn't say it differently enough to be understood. That's about as exciting as my accent gets though.

I don’t really know but suspect generic Home Counties accent (but less posh) if there is such a thing. I’m in Sussex. My Grandparents had a hint of a Sussex accent but you don’t really hear it these days so I guess it’s died out.

When we’ve been in the States/Canada, people have often asked if we’re Australian but maybe that happens to all English people in the States/Canada?

RP with a hint of Welsh. :)

Soft northern.

I have relatives in (North) London and they used to think I was thick because of my accent.

Queen mother - hate it!

Pretty much this

West Yorkshire, but all my life I've been told I talk posh! I've lived in Scotland and France, and I do tend to absorb an accent. I was talking to a woman when walking my dog in Bristol and she said I had a lovely accent. She couldn't believe it when I said I grew up seven miles from Bradford!!

I think some people just do it. Dd does, she can copy an accent after hearing it for about ten minutes. When she’s with her best friend she has a definite Home Counties accent, at home she’s geordie, she spent five days in Scotland when she was 9 and came back with a borders lilt. She doesn’t know she’s doing it in conversation, but she’s very aware she can copy accents easily when asked to.

South Dublin. Married to Northsider (Dublin). Scottish child (Northern East) with slight Irish accent

Do you run a local shop?

Brummie accent though not quite as Brummie sounding as DH 🤣

Southern Accent Apparently I am very well spoken according to colleagues. I did go to private school 😅

Generic West Cost of Scotland. People not from Scotland would probably guess Glasgow but it's not really.

For local people?

West Lancs

British Asian- Lancashire- London- despite all that, I've been told I sound posh 😂😂😂
