today i'm going to give you a whirlwind

00:02

tour of the united kingdom in 20

00:04

different accents

00:04

what's question time it's comedy do you

00:07

want a wee bag with that it's hard to

00:08

beat the novel this is so rude

00:10

at the golden globes i met jennifer

00:11

aniston i love you

00:13

i'm the best emcee in the country no

00:15

they're not they are i bet you any money

00:17

they are

00:17

i'm a massive fan of the dictionary

00:19

they're quite important things

00:20

i'm going to match each accent with a

00:22

famous person show you a clip of them

00:25

speaking

00:25

and then i'll teach you one

00:28

pronunciation feature of that accent

00:30

so that you can identify it more easily

00:40

i just want to take a quick moment to

00:42

thank lingoda for sponsoring this video

00:44

later on i'm going to show you how you

00:45

can study english from your own home

00:47

and get 100 cashback on your english

00:51

course fees an important thing to note

00:53

as we go on this tour is the accents are

00:55

very fluid

00:56

we use umbrella terms like a northern

00:58

accent or a southern accent

01:00

but what we're really doing is grouping

01:02

a bunch of accents together

01:04

because they share similar pronunciation

01:06

features indeed accents don't just

01:08

change from city to city or from town to

01:11

town they can change from person to

01:13

person

01:14

so an approach that many linguistic

01:15

experts take is to instead talk about

01:17

there being an

01:18

accent continuum where as you move

01:21

through the country

01:22

accents change and evolve and

01:26

join at the edges now i've picked out 20

01:29

british english accents that i want to

01:31

look at but as i say

01:32

there are many many more we're going to

01:34

start with receive pronunciation or

01:36

rp as it's also known it's an accent

01:39

associated with

01:40

education and privilege now it doesn't

01:43

have a set

01:44

geographical location but it is

01:47

associated with london

01:48

and the southeast of england but as a

01:50

result you can be an rp speaker from

01:52

anywhere

01:53

in the uk it was once the only accent

01:56

you would hear on the bbc

01:58

and even to this day british english

02:00

dictionaries use it as their default

02:02

setting now i've broken it down to

02:04

three separate varieties now let's start

02:06

with the queen's english spoken by

02:08

yeah her majesty the queen and other

02:11

royalties don't look down to read the

02:13

speech you have to take the speech

02:14

up because if you did your neck would

02:17

break

02:18

would it fall off an emphasis is put on

02:20

clarity with every sound

02:22

being articulated in its fullest form no

02:25

drop t's here mom

02:26

there's a tightness in the jaw the

02:28

queen's lips are quite close together

02:31

and the vowel sounds are articulated at

02:33

the front of the mouth

02:34

one pronunciation feature that we find

02:36

in the queen's english is the use of the

02:38

or sound instead of oh so the queen says

02:42

off not off take your filthy shoes off

02:46

this is not an accent you'll hear

02:48

far beyond the walls of buckingham

02:49

palace but if you're curious to hear

02:52

more

02:53

then you can watch the tv series the

02:55

crown we move on to conservative rp

02:58

which is similar to

02:59

the queen's english but perhaps not

03:01

quite as rigid and formal

03:03

now it's traditionally been an accent

03:05

associated with positions of power

03:07

so if i think back to all the prime

03:10

ministers of my

03:11

time they all have conservative rp

03:14

brexit health farmers in lots of ways

03:16

we'll be able to cut bureaucracy

03:18

find new markets for uk produce lamb

03:21

beef

03:21

uh dairy produce cheese

03:24

overseas now one feature that divides rp

03:28

and southern accents from northern

03:30

english accents

03:31

is the ah sound in rp you have

03:34

a an uh whereas in the north of england

03:36

it's just

03:37

uh so boris johnson says cut

03:40

but in the north of england that would

03:42

be cooked there's also a more modern

03:44

version of

03:45

rp called contemporary rp speakers still

03:48

place a high value

03:49

on articulating sounds clearly but there

03:52

is an acceptance that

03:53

speed of communication is more important

03:56

than accuracy so in contemporary rp you

03:58

might drop a t

03:59

or you might use a contraction whereas

04:01

in conservative rp or the queen's

04:03

english

04:03

that's less likely to happen uh they

04:06

some

04:06

some people are quite surprised like oh

04:08

my god we actually thought you were a

04:09

robot right

04:14

one surprising feature is the use of the

04:15

h h sound

04:17

now in most british english accents

04:19

actually

04:20

it's not used but in rp it is used and

04:24

you hear gemma chan there saying

04:26

human not uman as it might be in other

04:29

british english accents you'll notice

04:30

that her jaw isn't as rigid as the other
