It must be have been dialect levelling heavily skewed towards London accents. They converged towards a London-ish sound. To this day, Australian sounds much closer to a Cockney or RP accent than any other. It seems Received Pronunciation also came about by London-skewed accent levelling within London-area upper class schools that started in the 1400s and became more common over the centuries, slowly causing there to be a separate non-regional accent of the aristocracy instead of just regional accents shared by all classes, because Cockney and RP were still extremely similar with only dipthong and a few consonant differences between them, as late as the late 1800s, suggesting that originally all classes in London spoke the same way just as within any other region, so RP started as a result of accent-levelling in boarding schools with a London bias and then spread to aristocratic families throughout the country as their children came home speaking that way. The lack of rhoticity is a huge clue that London accents dominated Australia's first wave of European settlers but you wouldn't even need it, the accents are so similar it cannot be a coincidence.

High Entertainment.

Great video. I noticed Luke McGregor , actor / comedian exhibits rhotocity in the nurse vowel.

This video is so much fun!

Look into metal vocals or harsh vocals, inhale screaming. Super interesting

I use ingressive phonation to make pretty good freddy fazzbear laughter impressions from I think the first game. His classic "hor hor horhor hor" and such :3

this is what happens when men stop becoming masculine and embrace being a girl

Did the Khoi-San re-invent click consonants independently, or are they the secret favorite children of the aliens most in-touch with the Atlantean language?

Truly epic.

That second spoken sample sent me -- amazing stuff!

how does occupying multiple points in time "simultaneously" work? simultaneously literally means "at the same time", how are you at multiple points in time at the same point in time?

Linguistics lecturer here originally from Northumberland. When I was a kid the old guys used to use uvular burr. Nobody my age used it regardless of gender or social class so I would imagine it's all but gone extinct now. There might be some people my dad's age who still use it.

"Big Ling" as an Indian is hilarious

simultaneously. Brilliant, and very educational despite your claims to the contrary. Unfortunately multiple, I can't make the creaky sounds, but at least I can type at points in time

Good on you for wanting to create that atlas. You might end up becoming a professor of linguistics one day!

all doubters are just haters and googledebunkers

Alright but where is proto atlantean?

Modern rhoticity is American dominated social media influence for sure. I feel that English accent is going to flatten out in the future if we don't all start speaking some kind of Esperanto lmao

Well, actually, Atlantean is similar to Latin, LOL

You're very wise 🦉

I LOVE having a language youtuber who knows Pama Nyungan languages, such a massive family that never gets a look in

As a native speaker of Punjabi and Urdu, I can confirm that /ʈʰ/ cannot be pronounced by humans.

U look like u live near me...

Is this Aboriginal Adelaide accent part of the origin of Port Adelaide Power being nicknamed the Pear? I'm pretty sure northwest Adelaide has more Aboriginal people around Alberton

Fishnets under the ripped jeans could be the move

That’s not it- the languages come from First Nations and all the Gaelic languages of Uk

waaaaaaaaaaaa this is insane i adore this !! this is so good that it got me going down wikipedia rabbit holes several times because some of the stuff i'd never heard of and then i was down the rabbit hole lol! the saying one letter from each word at the same time is a geniusly silly idea! every time a watch a video from you i re-remember that you're a genius and im mindblown! i loved the little dig at 'altaic' and also the dig at conspiratorial crazy people !

The split frame cuts to UFOs made a highly exhausted, somewhat out of it me think i was peering into the other side of reality or something.

We all know that Aliens didn't land in Atlantis, they landed with Atlantis ;)

Oh jeez I did something based on Atlantean too And yours is better then mine I'm screwed Hats off to you, man. You get my vote

TRUST THE PROCESS🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Rhotic vowels so co-articulated with a trill of sorts, I'm reminded of Doulour from CCC2. Someone in the comments there mentioned it's a thing in Taa. So, where is this "ancillary document" with the deets?

Don't think I didnt notice your painted nails in that one frame... Caught ya with your freak flag out 😂

You’re back!&!🎉🎉🎉

the dogmas of mainstream linguistics have been permanently shattered with this one!!

I love this so much - the workings of the wonderful human off-centre brain.

9:38 Me at a fancy diner in Denmark nonchalantly informing the waiter that I’m choking:

This is hilarious, I love it! The Atlantean spoken section has me dying!

thankyou for enlightening me, graham handcrotch

This is true, I was there when the aliens arived.

I noticed you said some people were “pissed off” about creeping American usage, which is itself an American usage, is if not? It’s definitely not in the British Isles until recently. Btw fantastic and nuanced video, cheers from the USA.

Tonoleviticus is crazy

Nearly a year later and I only notice The Lick just now

This video made me realise how broad me own accent is. I've always had a problem where when I talk to someone I dunno, I talk slightly more "posh" (as me da and I would call it), but I guess it's more Gen AU English. I also recognised by meself before this video that the Irish accent and my own accent (Broad) are very similar in how pronounce words with rs in them. Only difference is the rhoticisation being there or not, for example in car, part, heart, etc - add a rhoticised r to it, it sounds Irish.

Oh, I always thought that the Swedish sj-- was just a bi-articulated English-style sh- (as in Norwegian) or, more commonly, a retroflex version of that sound (in standard Sw) PLUS lip rounding (like English wh- for those speakers that still have that sound). There's definitely a sound change in progress and the sound is losing the sh-like component, so just a wh-type sound (at the beginning of syllables. When it comes from -rs at the end of syllables or between words, there's no change in progress). The wh-only sound is general in the south and common in Stockholm among the younger and also less-reputable population. (I acquired it as a learner who hung out with those sorts.) These are just personal observations, so the only source is That Lizard In The TH-cam Comments. edit: Don't know whether to praise the YT algorithm for recommending this channel or damn it for taking so long. Also, I had considered Perth a mythical place because The Decline is such an awesome band, but it seems to be real.

Middle Korean was tonal, according to Wikipedia. So maybe the language is just going back to its roots. Burmese is apparently in the midst of tonogenesis with difference in the manner of pronunciation and not just the pitch. So if you say a syllable in a a Kardashian Burmese accent with vocal fry, that's called the "creaky tone". I'm not sure why, as it sounds nothing at all like a creaking door or a creaky floorboard.

Hi, just found your channel and loving it. I'm trying to get a better understanding of the regional trap/bath split and it's so hard to find information on. The David Crystal study is basically useless at this point because it's 30 years old and and even as a Brit just listening to hours of Australians speaking I know that it's very rare in Sydney to hear anyone pronounce "chance" as /tʃɑːns/ over /tʃæns/ (I've only heard it in SA accents in fact), but the study says it's the prevalence is 80%. But the major question I have if it's not universal within one region (you estimate 25% for Perth), what factors cause the variation within one region. Is it age, prestige, education... being a pretentious tw-t? Becuase obviously in Southern British English, it's always /ɑː/ Another thing I've noticed in SA English is the broader the accent the more British (more round I guess) the /ɑː/ sounds so it really sticks out (See Julia Gillard "circumstances" th-cam.com/video/mivFZ-MaT4w/w-d-xo.html) but a more general speaker will use the same vowel in "bath" and "chance" (See Hamish McLaclan "chance" th-cam.com/video/u5ISUm8Lx7I/w-d-xo.html)

The erotic Australian accent is literately the voice of somebody from Australia, trying to do a southern American accent
