      @@jameschampken2660 What utter rubbish, you are actually talking to a Brummie ( a Birmingham Citizen ) of 68 years with my family before that and the only people who pronounce Birmingham as either Birmingum or Birmingum are of 3 things, they are not from Birmingham and do not know other wise, have a deep black country type accent or have a speech impediment. I can tell you that the " H " is NOT silent at all, Birmingham actually stands for something, the Ham bit stands for Hamlet a very small village as in Anglo Saxon times it was called Beomingaham " the Home ( Hamlet ) of the tribe of Beomingha, as time moved forward the De Bermingham family became the Lords of the Manor and the Town was called Bermingham with William De Bermingham being the Lord of the Manor establishing a Charter to hold a Market where the Bull Ring is today. Over the years Birmingham has become a City and the name changed to BIR-MING-HAM now being the second largest City in the UK and Birmingham Alabama USA was named after.
      A few weeks ago Jay Blades of the repair shop did a programme of the Midlands and Birmingham and was incorrectly pronouncing Birmingham as Bernimum, Carl Chinn who was on there tried to correct him to no avail and then a lady in one of the TV mags also wrote a letter complaing how he pronounced Birmingham as Bernimum correcting him saying it is BIRMINGHAM, so as a Brummie who family now has lived in Birmingham for generations, I have never heard such crap as what you have just said.
      This applies to a few other things such as Buckingham Palace, Buckinghamshire and Buckingham, sorry like Birmingham the "H" has never been silent, how you say it is how yo say it but as this lady also quoted which like me annoys me is that the CORRECT pronunciation is BIR-MING-HAM full stop, so stop making your self look like a nerd and trying to correct people who call my City correctly because you think different. Oh and no you won't get laughed at for pronouncing Birmingham Correctly, it is not how the pronounce it in the rest of the UK and people do call it Birmingham.

    BIG BIG question why do you keep showing roads of America ie at 7:58 as we dont drive on the Right and dont have 5 lanes for traffic and we dont have a Union Station 8:13 and at 1:53 that is not a house you would see in Birmingham. This whole video is across between America and Birmingham so no wonder people will be confused that is why i gave it a thumbs down to make it 16 at the moment and there is only 331 thumbs up which shows its a bad video.

    USA/Canadian accent pernounce it with a hard "HAM" at the end, and in this video thats a serious hard on the HAM, but in the UK its pronounced more hard on the "Bir" "MING" "UM" , .the "H" is silent.
    If you pronounce it like the guy does in the video at some point somebody in the city will laugh at you for it with banter to make fun of your hard American accent. No joke, lol.

      No mate as a Birmingham citizen I and many others of the majority pronounce it Birming-HAM not "UM", you do not pronounce Buckingham Palace or Buckinghamshire, Buckingum palace or Buckingumshire, if you are pronouncing it Birmingum it is you that is wrong as it is the way you are pronouncing it because of your accent and it has always been pronounced and called BIRMINGHAM and no there is no silent H I am afraid as the HAM bit is part of the Cities name being short for Hamlet, as the name Birmingham originally Beomingaham meant the Hamlet ( HAM ) of the tribe of Beormainga, this changed in medieval times to Bermingham after the family who were lords of the Manor of Bermingham, William De Bermingham which later changed to Birmingham, it is lie the people who wrongly call Shrewsbury, Shrowsbury.

How people pronounce it is how their accent may be, but what narks me is ppeople like your self who try to correct people who pronounce my City the correct way but do not correct people who say it wrong. The Ham in Birmingham stands for Hamlet, in Anglo Saxon times Birmingham was called Bormingaham, which stood for the Hamlet of the tribe of Beorminga, this later changed to Bermingham after the family of the De Berminham family who were Lords of the Manor of Bermingham arround the Dooms Day Book, later on the name Changed to BIRMING-HAM and has never had the name of Brum or Brummegium, this name being a pet name for Birmingham and during the Civil War BBirmingham made a lot of cuonterfeit steel products that got the nick name Brummagem ware. So yes actually tis Americamn is actually pronouncing my Cities name correctly but we may soffen the H in Ham.
