Chuck in E. TN:
I am most fortunate to have married a wonderful East Anglia Lass from Isleham, Cambs. She had an uncle and a brother-in-law that were Yorkshire men. I enjoyed many a pint or Gill of malt with both, and became very accustom to their accent. It amazed me how well I understood them when we had a snoot full! I have no problem understanding John... All the best, Mate!

--- Quote from: DavidA on May 03, 2015, 04:43:35 PM ---Actually,  you're all wrong.

It isn't an accent,  it's a dialect.

An accent is when people from different parts say the same standard English but you can tell they are from different parts of the country.

A dialect is when people have local words and expressions  that aren't use (generally) elsewhere.
