- The Traditional Sussex Accent - Everything you need to know tutorial. Today we are looking at the traditional British accent called the Sussex accent. This is an accent which is rarely heard nowadays but was heard throughout the county a long time ago. If you are unaware - Sussex is a county in England. It's quite a rural county, which is reflected in the accent - similar to other rural accents and has a bit of West Country in there too.
If you are interested in accents and British accents, then this is for you, as I analyse the traditional Sussex accents and work through how the vowels and consonant sounds are said. There is a key in the video as to how I explain the sounds - it's tricky working out how to annotate old accents sometimes! Plus, I give you some vocabulary that also featured in their dialect and, and give you a few facts about Sussex, like how it is divided and some important towns, this'll be especially useful if you don't know the area.
Now, I have already done a video on the Kent accents so you could watch that as well to compare - link below. Kent is right next to Sussex, so my idea is to work through as many counties as possible, so Hampshire next I feel.
By the way, and one final thing, Sussex is a very attractive place as it on the coast and close to London - a lot of rock stars have lived in Sussex you know. They probably like the solitude of Sussex, as Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones did in the 1960s. Plus, Brighton was a mecca for Mods in the 1960s - there were even fights on the beaches of the south coast between Mods and Rockers. In fact, as a Mod, I always say that Brighton is my soul town.

Next up a videon the Hampshire county accents!
I live in Chichester, the county town of West Sussex. Folk born and bred here always pronounce it as 'Chiddester'.
Nice
Cool
How long have you been there
Or if you grew up not too far away it was often referred to as Chi.
My family were from Sussex, the older generations would speak with drawn out r’s which sounded very rural and nice!
Probably not many people with the accent anymore!
The old East Sussex Accent is similar to the USA state of Georgia southern accent pronounce is same also the old the Isle of Wight accent is the same has a person for the state of Kentucky accents, guess you Britons kids got beating over your heads by your teachers to sound like the Royal family and the aristocrat class, posh accent not have your Great grandparents and Great Parents regional accents losing your identity, it sad to me to see such beautiful culture lose.
@@bjornsmith9431you know it’s possible to have a regional identity (as we do here in Sussex) without an accent? What a weird and insulting take
@@ryder_hd accent change by force, there plenty of actors and actress who was drop there regional accents for a career.
@@bjornsmith9431 tf are you talking about? Accents change and evolve.
@@ryder_hd B.S this happen sometime on people by pressuring, I seen it happened many times.
I was from Ore close to Three Oakes and my great uncle was total fluent in Sussex and family gatherings sounded more like the Wurzles than the middle class family of my father’s side so very mixed which still lingers in some of my words but as you say practically died out.
Interesting. Did he have a brand new combine harvester?!
@@BritishNativeSpeaker no but he was a cider 🍺 drinker 😂
Of course!
I'm from East Sussex, and people say I have a Sussex accent, but several of my friends have a much broader accent than me. I can understand them easily, and sometimes I translate.
What kind of accent features make them broader?
@@BritishNativeSpeaker A lot more Wurzel like.
Ha ha ok
Being born in Brighton, you don't hear obvious examples of a traditional Sussex accent but it's definitely still in there. I can tell a brightonian speaking a mile off compared to someone from London for example.
its subtle differences but im the same you can tell!
Everyone who lives in Brighton is basically from London, so I doubt that
I feel fortunate to have spoken at length with an elderly man in his 90s who lived his whole life in West Chiltington.... I wish I had recorded his conversations
As a Sussexer thank you for explaining this. I often pronounce my Ts as D's. My R is quite pronounced and I speak fast like Sussexers usually and I slightly slur.
I'm in Upper Dicker near Eastbourne as we speak
I come from worthing
Yay, Worthing is here also!
Amazing! I'm living here in Crawley. Would like to watch more videos of west sussex
Great, I'm in Crowborough at the moment.
@@BritishNativeSpeakercool! It's seems to be a beautiful city
just a suggestion.... I recommend toning down the animations and behaviors a tad. At some point they begin to get distracting. It's like making every other word bold, italics or underlined.
Sussex Rep!!! I used to live in maresfield and some people genuinely had the traditional sussex accent!! I wish I was more distinct :(
Thanks for the comment
I was born in Cuckfield, West Sussex and it used to be spelt Kukefield and Ansty was spelt Anstye
Why don't you put more videos on East Sussex or Brighton pronunciation ???
We say Brigh'on though. No T.
Indeed
In Sussex an adder is called a viper!
Ok, cheers for that.
I’m form Hastings East Sussex
Pleased to meet you.
One of my Norman ancestors fought along the side of William Duke of Normandy/King of England and kept him being thrust through the guts. In turn for saving his life William knighted him and gave him a good hide of land in the Market town/civil parish of Framlingham. I'm American surname Freeman as my Norman ancestors were Freeman families of Suffolk as some of them settled in Sussex and Kent also.
There is a nice recording of East Sussex accent here from 1920: th-cam.com/video/XCKOiO_euRk/w-d-xo.html
Yes. Good call.
Yes the videos of "British Drama League" discs with middle aged speakers using their native , UK regional accents. Is very interesting.
So are videos of archeologist basil brown speaking.
In the Anglian, Devon, northern Irish accents, on the league vinyls. I can hear the "sweetness" (of what is now considered the USA accent) in the voice, on the vowels , and some of the word cadence.
I suspect the "sweetness" would have been stronger around 1800.
Sorry, but most of this is a little inaccurate. Based on how I have heard older people speak round where I live in Sussex, the general rules here do indeed apply but the pronunciation in this video is more often off than correct
Lewes is rough in the estates
Fair enough.
you're taking the piss right?
@@jakedeane8625 No bro I’m being serious,there’s some rough council estates in Lewes, landport and ousedale have always had a bad reputation stabbings, if you’re from Lewes then you would know how bad landport really is, it’s a slum and when the wheelie bin murder happened that was when I realised I had to get out of that hell hole
@@chilloutii3638 nothing compared to haywards heath or burgess hill
@@jakedeane8625this guy would get robbed in burgess in a second if he went down bedelands way
From Lewes but not a nice part of the town unfortunately
Fair enough
From lewes but but a nice part unfortunately
I guess you meant 'not'
The narrator has a very odd stilted delivery and I found that hard to follow. Unless this video wa designed for primary school kids?
