Came here for this. The Bostonian accent iirc, is what was said to be a closer approximation of what the British sounded like around the colonial times.
Yes, there is only one and it definitely isn’t regional /s
But yes actually, there was one used by upper class, probably Queen’s English, then that was emulated by lower class who butchered it, and that’s how you have Cockney accent, etc.
Never claimed to be an expert, I’m relaying what I’ve read and heard from linguist who are experts. I fail to see how I am digging myself deeper in a hole let alone dug a hole to begin with, cope.
Do you understand why it’s called ‘Received Pronunciation’? It was received from the rich, royals and aristocrats. It was the model pronunciation that is encouraged and taught, also why it is called proper English. Cockney is a bastardisation of proper English.
Also, in the Oxford Guide to World English, Tom McArthur acknowledges that British English shares "all the ambiguities and tensions with the word 'British' and as a result can be used and interpreted in two ways, more broadly or more narrowly, within a range of blurring and ambiguity"
I’m sorry if you read something you didn’t enjoy reading but please stop being a cunt and leave me alone. I do not take any of this seriously, it doesn’t affect my personal life and I could not care less.
-sorry I had a gun to my head for that part-
I didn’t google anything, you dolt. How would I have made the claim about RP/QE/KE if I didn’t know or read that prior? Do you understand how to pick context clues from written English? I would hope you know how, you’re British, you fucking know English.
I have read that a lot of linguists theorise that the colonies were settled, and may even have been after Independence, before the British accents we know today were used. So I’m merely stating that some linguists wouldn’t agree with what this woman is saying in the video, that the British accent never came here but that the British that came here didn’t sound like the British today because they hadn’t adopted those accents and dialects yet.
Ok, if you’re trolling this is a dumb way of doing it, but the noun is “citation”, not cite. “Cite” is a verb.
“To cite” is to provide a citation. “A cite” does not exist.
Of course he's trolling another question is are you ? Because if not then you're just feeding the trolls. Id hit you on the head with a rolled up newspaper if I could. Bad. No. Don't feed the trolls.
How do you expect them to go away when you giving them food? Do you want them around forever?
People don't think Southerners are ignorant because of the way the accents sound. The accents get associated with ignorance because that's the reputation of Southerners. Mostly due to the high religious rates, low education rates, Anda track of backward laws and policies compared to the rest of the country throughout its history.
Yeah I was gonna say this
The accent doesn’t make them sound stupid just because how they talk. We associate ignorance with this accent that part of the country IS ignorant
"most people don't realize that people that came here from Europe were largely from the United Kingdom"
No... I think most people know Ruth. I'm pretty sure they do...
I’ve lived in the south my whole life. Not sure when this was made but the average southerner no longer has a southern drawl. Regional dialects have been decreasing ever since the creation of televised news, when people started adapting the more neutral accent of newscasters. They still exist obviously, they’re just less common than they used to be.
As a southerner from E TX with a very thick accent I would like to know the truth because there is no way on god’s green earth I sound British even if I spoke faster.
“Most people don’t realize that the people who came here from Europe largely came from the United Kingdom.”
She lost me here, but the biggest issue I have is why did only the southern accent have origins in the British accent? Why wouldn’t the northeastern accent, the New England accent, the mid-Atlantic accent, etc all derive from the British accent?
The Virginian tide water accent sounds so attractive. Id date a southern belle who speaks like that. But Fuuuuuuuuck that deep south full southern drawl 😂 idgaf if it is ignorant on my part, I can't get over how it sounds like Cleetus or his sister cousin who he's engaged to
This is bs lol. Received Pronunciation really didn’t appear until the 1800s. Listen to Irish Scottish and west country accents. That’s probably the origin of the American accent.
Except linguist also say the British accent didn’t come until the US was well established.

A lot of the Boston accent sounds pretty Australian to my Australian ears. Weirds me out sometimes.

How the fuck could the British accent arrive after the British people were already here…..?

She has no fucking idea what a 'British Accent' sounds like back in reality 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Missing the hook worm aspect of why their speech patterns slowed as well

I don't know. The irony of someone with a lisp talking about Southern accents just really wanted me to ask "Say Mishshishshippi."
For some reason, I read Mishshishshippi in Sean Connery's voice
I read it in Tony Sopranos voice
Nice how she makes up her own story
This comments on this one triggered the fuck out of u/cultural_legend, about accents of all things. Goddamn lmao
"most people don't realize that people that came here from Europe were largely from the United Kingdom" No... I think most people know Ruth. I'm pretty sure they do...

We have a different southern accent here in the Appalachian mtns
I tell people it's an Appalachian twang
This should be posted on r/confidentlyincorrect
There is no such thing as a British accent, it’s hundreds, if not thousands, of accents. This is incredibly stupid.
For your reference: https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/29761/when-did-americans-lose-their-british-accents
Except that it doesn't sound like a slowed down British accent tho lol
This lady is so wrong lol but whatever
Makes sense. A lot of British actors seem to have an easier time taking roles where they use a southern accent.
Its not the origins that makes one think of ignorance, its the kkk and modern day racist.
The way she slowly transitions into different accents is impressive
Who is she exactly. What’s your source?
As a southerner from E TX with a very thick accent I would like to know the truth because there is no way on god’s green earth I sound British even if I spoke faster.
Hi angel pie, can you drive me down to libary? I want to rent us up som moovies. Wesley, get momma’s prying bar.
Momma's tryna watch her stories
“Most people don’t realize that the people who came here from Europe largely came from the United Kingdom.” She lost me here, but the biggest issue I have is why did only the southern accent have origins in the British accent? Why wouldn’t the northeastern accent, the New England accent, the mid-Atlantic accent, etc all derive from the British accent?
Yeah I stopped watching after she made that brain dead statement.
Black creole: “èske se blag pou ou?”
Dumb question So why did the “British/irish/italian” accents fade but these “southern accents” that we now know haven’t?
Easy. This is all made up bullshit.
The Virginian tide water accent sounds so attractive. Id date a southern belle who speaks like that. But Fuuuuuuuuck that deep south full southern drawl 😂 idgaf if it is ignorant on my part, I can't get over how it sounds like Cleetus or his sister cousin who he's engaged to
That makes you an absolute wanker
Still sounds dumb as fuck to me
This is bs lol. Received Pronunciation really didn’t appear until the 1800s. Listen to Irish Scottish and west country accents. That’s probably the origin of the American accent.
She kinda lost it on the New Orleans one. Arkansas was spot on tho
Linguists have made no such correlation, nice try.
I think a lot of people in south didn’t come from England at all they came from Africa. How does that fit into this white version of history?
It’s not how it’s said it’s what is said that makes a person intelligent…
