I mean 'won' like the first sound of 'wok' but with an n instead of a k. Not as in won a prize. Although I'd pronounce that 'wun' too
Since working in my last job I have realised very quickly what a stafford accent is!
Think scotland, but not like Glasgow or Edinburgh accents, its a bit harsher. Our vowels are shorter, and a lot of people dont pronounce their T's so 'butter' becomes 'bu-ur'. Not sure if thats just an Aberdonian thing ot not tho?
We sound awfull on telly. If anyones ever seen the programme trawlermen, thats what I sound like, but not quite as broad, and female lol. Haha the BBC decided to give the show subtitles :d guess were not very easy to understand.
My dad claims I don't. However, I've been told by two people in the last year that my "accent" is hard to understand - one of them was from Glasgow and the other was from Liverpool.
What did you say?? LOL
Don't worry about the bu-er, it's similar down here, although they don't have to put subtitles on Emmerdale Farm, haha..
I think accents are great, except a certain one that if I mentioned it would probably start another WAR OF THE ROSES, lol... That's a big hint by the way..:chin:
And whenever I say something with an R in the middle, like work (werrk), my mate gets me to repeat it to mock me and I don't click on
If i did i think a southern irish one would be good
What does a "posh accent" sound like?
I think people confuse posh with some Southern accents. Lots of grarrrrss and barrrrth and stuff.
I think my accent's just a plain south one, but I know I sometimes put more Welshy inflections on things, especially if I spend a lot of time with my granny. When I was a kid I used to have a Devon farmer type accent, but I think I used to put that on quite a lot to piss my mum off.
An uncle of mine has sounds like a farmer.
