I think people are surprised we have so many accents in the uk but it’s honestly true. I’m from Coventry and sometimes it’s hard to understand Birmingham which is so close and some of the northern accents when they talk fast. Btw that Birmingham accent was mild
If you hear the recordings that the Germans did of POWs in WW1 there used to be a lot more regional accents. But migration and probably TV have changed things.
As a Canadian I'm a bit disappointed you didn't add more of the accents from the Atlantic region i.e. Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, PEI. Newfoundland accents will throw you for a curve.
The accent in Canada varies more than people think. Along with the Atlantic varieties, there are differences between Anglo-Montreal, Ontario, the Prairies and west coast. The differences aren't as pronounced as you might hear say across England, but they're still there.
@@davidreichert9392 I notice that English Montrealers don't always nasalize words like "can, Canada, and, & dance." The people in Toronto do nasalize them.
Yeah honestly it would have been a bit more accurate to say Northern Midwest, Places like Idaho and Montana are technically North Central but sound very, very different from the clip.
Yes. Upper Midwest, not Chicago. I will respectfully disagree with the person who guessed Minnesota. I think Iowa. Or maybe Ohio? Doesn't have that sing-song quality that I associate with Minnesota accents.
The only place in America I hear that accent is the state of Minnesota, maybe the white people who live in North Dakota, idk. The white people around the Great Lakes - Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, western NY - don't sound anything like that

I'm surprised you didn't include a Yorkshire or Cockney accent. I was listening to hear if any of them were missing "H" sounds or if they pronounced the "TU" sound "TCHU" Also, some of these are way too indistinguishable, you need people with thicker accents

well here in malta we have English as our main language and Maltese is made up of English, Arabic, French, and Italian so when we speak English it sounds like it but because we have other languages made up in the Maltese language it affects they we talk in all those languages especially English

As someone who’s from the north-central US (Iowa and Minnesota), I would have to disagree and say this was pretty spot-on for a Minnesota or North Dakota accent. The Canadian accent is a little different (and from what I know of it, though I’m not Canadian so can’t speak to it as well, the Canadian accent here was pretty spot on, too).
@@kirsten879 Oh I didn't say it wasn't a "North-Central" US accent, I said that particular accent sounds more Canadian than the so called 'Canadian' accent @ 7:14.
disappointed there wasn't more variety for Canada. There are different accents in the west, the parries, Ontario, Quebec, the Atlantic provinces, and the territories. I'm born and raised in BC and i can instantly tell if someones from Ontario or Newfoundland just by small accent changes
London and Essex are not 10 miles apart, they border each other, north Essex, north of Chelmsford, have a very rural accent, south Essex, from Thurrock to Southend-on-sea, the A13 corridor, have a cockney-like accent, knows as Estuary Essex.

It is both- notice how he pronounces, "seen" more flat than in the central states but he does pronounce, "about" wider. Also "year", the "a" is emphasized while the "o" in "ago" is stressed. The mix of flat sounds and rounded sounds was a dead giveaway to me.

6:50 That might be a Texan accent, not a Southern one. They're similar in a few ways, but they're definitely not the same thing. Where is the audio originally from?
I suspect the North-Central American is just an interview of a Canadian hockey player playing in the US... The Canadian guy had the mildest diction, with only a slight rising in 'about.' You should have included Maritime accents from Canada!

WHY BRISTOL PEOPLE TALK SPEAK LIKE AMERICANS) 20) probably northern irland 21) I don't know and I don't understand either 22) this is ENGLISH This is not supposed to be offensive, just what a non-native person thinks
It’s more compelling to say where you’re from, not just that you’re a Spanish speaker. There are dozens of countries that speak Spanish. Are you from Spain? Are you from Venezuela? Lol WHERE is your perspective coming from?
This sounded very South African to me. I am South African. Let me explain. My country has 11 official languages. There are also 4 official race groups, as per apartheid classification. This is still sort of accepted as a reference, because it works practically (we as SAs don't take offence to it). So here they are (% indicating population proportionality): 1) Blacks (79%). Divided into xhosa, zulu, venda, sotho, pedi, tswana, tsonga. 2) Coloureds (9%) 3) Whites (9%). Afrikaners (Dutch-descended) and English (British-descended) 4) Asians (2%). Indians and Chinese Blacks mostly speak their indigenous native tongue as a first language, but most can speak some form of English to varying degrees. Many of the younger generation, and less often the older generations, speak it as a mother-tongue. Almost all whites can speak English, esp of course, those who are British-descended. These speak it as a mother-tongue. Afrikaners speak it as a second language (very few cannot speak it). Most Coloureds (like whites) are bilingual. They speak either English or Afrikaans as a mother-tongue, and the other as a second-language. More speak Afrikaans than English. So the situation here is very much like the whites. Asians = these are mostly Indians, and almost all speak English as a mother-tongue. Chinese people can all speak some form of English. In essence, most South Africans can speak some form of English, as SA is an ex-British colony. Now, if you analyse my speech above, it will become clear to you that there is no standard SA accent, since so many ethnicities and languages exist. You may very well imagine, then, that many accents exist. So, who are the mother-tongue English groups? Refer to my speech above: 1) White British-descended SAs 2) Some Coloured people 3) Most Indian people 4) Some black people (esp the younger generation) 5) Some Afrikaans kids (younger generation, where Afrikaans parents have made the decision to raise them using English as a "mother-tongue", as it were). So, depending on the upbringing and the schooling, as well as some other influences, various accents will be used amongst these "mother-tongue groups" (MTGs). Many sound British-influenced, others not. Amongst "English-Second-Language Groups (ESLGs), other accents prevail, although these can take on British-influenced accents as well. The type of South African accent heard in the video sounds to be coming from MTG 1, a British-descended white South African. Do I make myself clear? A word in passing: there is no such thing as "A" South African accent. There are VARIOUS SA accents rather than "A" SA accent. Is this understood? But a classic "ENGLISH SA ACCENT" would probably regard the MTG1 as the prototype. As heard in the video. Kindly take time to make sense of this! PS: Wikus Van De Merwe is an Afrikaner (descended from the Dutch). Thus, English is not his mother tongue. His mother tongue is Afrikaans (daughter language of Dutch). Please tell me you understand? Never make this mistake again. Charlize Theron is also an Afrikaner. Afrikaans is her mother tongue. Her current version of English has been strongly influenced by America. Elon Musk is a British-descended English-mother-tongue speaker. Trevor Noah is Coloured (mixed race). His mother is a black woman (she speaks Xhosa as a mother tongue). She raised Trevor to speak English as a "mother tongue", as it were. His dad is Swiss-German, by the way. But he was mostly absent from Trevor's life. Roger Federer's mother is Afrikaans. She is South African. Like Trevor, his father is Swiss as well. So Federer is half South African, half Swiss. He was raised in Switzerland.

I think people are surprised we have so many accents in the uk but it’s honestly true. I’m from Coventry and sometimes it’s hard to understand Birmingham which is so close and some of the northern accents when they talk fast. Btw that Birmingham accent was mild
If you hear the recordings that the Germans did of POWs in WW1 there used to be a lot more regional accents. But migration and probably TV have changed things.
Hell yeh mate why there's so many accent in uk but here in straya we only got 3 lmao

As a Canadian I'm a bit disappointed you didn't add more of the accents from the Atlantic region i.e. Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, PEI. Newfoundland accents will throw you for a curve.
The accent in Canada varies more than people think. Along with the Atlantic varieties, there are differences between Anglo-Montreal, Ontario, the Prairies and west coast. The differences aren't as pronounced as you might hear say across England, but they're still there.
@Diana sick and how do you know what Newfoundland is?
@@davidreichert9392 I notice that English Montrealers don't always nasalize words like "can, Canada, and, & dance." The people in Toronto do nasalize them.
Your accent as an Canadain is closet to the Californian accent
I'm from Australia, and to me the Newfoundland accent sounds almost exactly like Irish
I swore the central USA accent was a Canadian hockey commentator, must have been the midwest US
Yeah honestly it would have been a bit more accurate to say Northern Midwest, Places like Idaho and Montana are technically North Central but sound very, very different from the clip.
@@gooseincitypark definitely from a post game interview. Probably Minnesota
Yes. Upper Midwest, not Chicago. I will respectfully disagree with the person who guessed Minnesota. I think Iowa. Or maybe Ohio? Doesn't have that sing-song quality that I associate with Minnesota accents.
The only place in America I hear that accent is the state of Minnesota, maybe the white people who live in North Dakota, idk. The white people around the Great Lakes - Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, western NY - don't sound anything like that
I'm sure that was a Canadian or someone in Canada

Some of these were very mild versions of the accents, e.g. the Brummie and the Northern Irish. You should have played a clip of Jasper Carrott for the former and Ian Paisley for the latter!
The Northern Ireland was about average (it was James Nesbitt btw) Paisley was from Ballymena which sounds almost Scottish!
@@davidtaylor4975 I have personally known a few Northern Irish people over the years, including one from Ballymena. The Northern Irish accent can be very difficult to understand, even if it’s someone you know well.
Northern Irish is very easy, just do Ian Paisley bellowing GINGER AND COMMUNITY! cheers Jimmy Carr, who is of course Jamaica when said in a Jamaican accent.
I'm surprised you didn't include a Yorkshire or Cockney accent. I was listening to hear if any of them were missing "H" sounds or if they pronounced the "TU" sound "TCHU"
Also, some of these are way too indistinguishable, you need people with thicker accents

disappointed there wasn't more variety for Canada. There are different accents in the west, the parries, Ontario, Quebec, the Atlantic provinces, and the territories. I'm born and raised in BC and i can instantly tell if someones from Ontario or Newfoundland just by small accent changes
I could get 6 accents: Filipino, American (California), English (Birmingham), Northern Irish, English from New Zealand, and Maltese.
Distinguishing between London and Essex is impossible. They are about 10 miles apart.
not really, im from up north but Essex and London sound different to me
London and Essex are not 10 miles apart, they border each other, north Essex, north of Chelmsford, have a very rural accent, south Essex, from Thurrock to Southend-on-sea, the A13 corridor, have a cockney-like accent, knows as Estuary Essex.
Depends which part of London you are talking about. East London and South West Essex is more or less the same place.

Various American, Me American
Me thinking to myself: "Canadian should be the same as American"
*Hear Canadian*
Me: What is that
It's always annoyed me that I can't tell Canadians from Americans.
Very simple: when an American is extremely shy and polite, while saying "oot" and "aboot" instead of "out" and "about", he's probably Canadian.
@@eaubert1 No one ever says oot or aboot. It's pronounced just like in American English
@@deathbygrapes5 I actually find it's more like "aboat", but maybe that's just where I live. But it's definitely not aboot.
It is both- notice how he pronounces, "seen" more flat than in the central states but he does pronounce, "about" wider. Also "year", the "a" is emphasized while the "o" in "ago" is stressed. The mix of flat sounds and rounded sounds was a dead giveaway to me.
The canadian "about" is [əʊ], rather than [uː]

No they're different. Canadian and American accent are very similar but people in Canada pronounce words like "Out." differently.

It’s more compelling to say where you’re from, not just that you’re a Spanish speaker. There are dozens of countries that speak Spanish. Are you from Spain? Are you from Venezuela? Lol WHERE is your perspective coming from?
The same for me that speak Portuguese
This sounded very South African to me. I am South African.
Let me explain.
My country has 11 official languages. There are also 4 official race groups, as per apartheid classification. This is still sort of accepted as a reference, because it works practically (we as SAs don't take offence to it). So here they are (% indicating population proportionality):
1) Blacks (79%). Divided into xhosa, zulu, venda, sotho, pedi, tswana, tsonga.
2) Coloureds (9%)
3) Whites (9%). Afrikaners (Dutch-descended) and English (British-descended)
4) Asians (2%). Indians and Chinese
Blacks mostly speak their indigenous native tongue as a first language, but most can speak some form of English to varying degrees. Many of the younger generation, and less often the older generations, speak it as a mother-tongue.
Almost all whites can speak English, esp of course, those who are British-descended. These speak it as a mother-tongue. Afrikaners speak it as a second language (very few cannot speak it).
Most Coloureds (like whites) are bilingual. They speak either English or Afrikaans as a mother-tongue, and the other as a second-language. More speak Afrikaans than English. So the situation here is very much like the whites.
Asians = these are mostly Indians, and almost all speak English as a mother-tongue. Chinese people can all speak some form of English.
In essence, most South Africans can speak some form of English, as SA is an ex-British colony.
Now, if you analyse my speech above, it will become clear to you that there is no standard SA accent, since so many ethnicities and languages exist. You may very well imagine, then, that many accents exist.
So, who are the mother-tongue English groups? Refer to my speech above:
1) White British-descended SAs
2) Some Coloured people
3) Most Indian people
4) Some black people (esp the younger generation)
5) Some Afrikaans kids (younger generation, where Afrikaans parents have made the decision to raise them using English as a "mother-tongue", as it were).
So, depending on the upbringing and the schooling, as well as some other influences, various accents will be used amongst these "mother-tongue groups" (MTGs). Many sound British-influenced, others not. Amongst "English-Second-Language Groups (ESLGs), other accents prevail, although these can take on British-influenced accents as well.
The type of South African accent heard in the video sounds to be coming from MTG 1, a British-descended white South African.
Do I make myself clear?
A word in passing: there is no such thing as "A" South African accent. There are VARIOUS SA accents rather than "A" SA accent.
Is this understood?
But a classic "ENGLISH SA ACCENT" would probably regard the MTG1 as the prototype. As heard in the video.
Kindly take time to make sense of this!
PS: Wikus Van De Merwe is an Afrikaner (descended from the Dutch). Thus, English is not his mother tongue. His mother tongue is Afrikaans (daughter language of Dutch). Please tell me you understand? Never make this mistake again.
Charlize Theron is also an Afrikaner. Afrikaans is her mother tongue. Her current version of English has been strongly influenced by America.
Elon Musk is a British-descended English-mother-tongue speaker.
Trevor Noah is Coloured (mixed race). His mother is a black woman (she speaks Xhosa as a mother tongue). She raised Trevor to speak English as a "mother tongue", as it were. His dad is Swiss-German, by the way. But he was mostly absent from Trevor's life.
Roger Federer's mother is Afrikaans. She is South African. Like Trevor, his father is Swiss as well. So Federer is half South African, half Swiss. He was raised in Switzerland.

Yes! 1 point.
22. ??? a french woman that tried to remove her accent and lived in an english country for a very long time?
Maltese. Very interesting! But unfortunately 0 points.
14/22. I'm okay with this.
You should do one with Kenyan or more African countries not only South Africa but I only missed 6
In Australia, its the same in literally all cities. But in the country side and remote parts, its so much stronger than the cities.
#11 is actually the accent most common in London
No it's not most common is cockney and Roadman

I found this test very strange as they included Maltese English, Philipino English but not Nigerian English (the most populated African country) or Ghanaian English, for example.

I can finally spot a Canadian accent, but I thought the Australian, South African and Maltese were a weird British accent.
aren't all English accents not a weird British accent? since you know.... they are derived from the British accents and at some point English was only spoken in England until England started it's world domination
South African always starts off sounding like northern England before morphing a bit and that's the only way I know it's South Africa
#4 was Judge Judy LOL
It's amazing that even with some countrys are repeated they have regional variations
Indian, English, Jamaican, Carlifornian, Essex, Australian, Filipino, Southern American....were easy to get for me.
woah woah woah you did not just make an english accent video without Scouse and Mancunian?!!
7:39 #19 Is that Stephen Merchant, AKA Wheatley from Portal 2, that I'm hearing? God I love this!
I got all except the Maltese, Filipino and Singaporean, I was so amazed that I got so many right
well here in malta we have English as our main language and Maltese is made up of English, Arabic, French, and Italian so when we speak English it sounds like it but because we have other languages made up in the Maltese language it affects they we talk in all those languages especially English. You should try learning maltese it is not difficult at all
I'm so happy Welsh was in this LMAO
how the hell was 10 not Canadian? he pronounced 'calling card' as 'calling cerrrd' and that's still south of the border. holy cow
I’m Canadian and I have to admit he really sounded Canadian to me haha.
Our accents vary if the speaker is from South Ontario they sound more American
Here are mine:
#1 Irish
#3 English (London / Southern) - this is my accent
#4 American (New York)
#5 Welsh - got it straight away
#6 Jamaican
#7 American (Californian) - i have a lot of American friends
#8 English Geordie - this one was obvious to me
# 11 English (Essexxxx) - i live quite close to Essex
#12 Australian - can spot an accent a mile off
#15 Scottish - love a Scottish accent me
#16 English (Brummy)
#17 Southern American
#18 Canadian - i knew it wasn't American
#19 English (Bristol)
#20 Northern Irish
#21 New Zealand - similar to Australian
Only ones I missed were Philippino, Maltese and Northern US (thought it was Canadian) oh- also, thought the Geordie was Scottish! 🤦🏻♀️
(I’m from Australia)
I'm Canadian and the North US accent caught me as well (didn't help that he was talking about ice hockey). Honestly, I've never heard an American even from the border regions talk like that. Must be a very specific area remote from the rest of the US but close to Canada
I knew Geordie because Jade Thirlwall speaking❤
