WOULDN'T IT BE WONDERFUL TO GET THE FUNDING FROM SOME UNIVERSITY TO RESEARCH THIS. SPENDING A YEAR OR 2 TRAVELING UP AND DOWN AND AROUND THE COUNTRY TALKING TO FOLK WITH YOUR DICTAPHONE spending nights in hotels writing your reports and that. i just love talking and language..

its a really interesting subject Pink. I heard a good radio program about it once, about some very early research and recordings in the UK. In the meantime you may enjoy this

Its all interesting but if you click on the link in the first blog you can listen to all the regional accents.

And this click on map.

Half of the yoofs in London speak like they are black jamaicans. Fucking annoying as fuck innit. As is innit, innit.

Accents are always evolving though based on the demographic. If you're white but grow up surrounded by family & friends who are of west indian heritage you are going to adopt that accent. I think its wrong to label all people who speak like that waggers.

I did not label them, i just said it was fucking annoying. Its not always like that though. I absolutly love hearing the Pakistanis in Glasgow speaking in a broad weegie accent. In a way it shows they have integrated with the natives.

Asians or white kids speaking like Jamaicans in London.........nah that does not work.
 
it doesn't matter wherger it works or not in your opinion, languagfe an accents ,klillikee bandw said evolbve, or get inventef by mugx

LOL

I suspect B&W just meant to write "wigger" to be honest mate.

Someone mentioned the "Glasgow Paki" (fuck off, I'm not being racist) accent lol. Best accent out. There's nothing funnier than getting the piss taken out you by a guy with an Indian-type accent mixed with a bit of Glaswegian & using Glaswegian words like "dafty" etc.

Always get good chat with those cunts as well, the one down the road from me is some laugh. "Any deals on Strongbow Ali?" "Oh aye! 8 cans. 5 pounds. But for you my boy... 6 pounds" lol.
