Language Changes Happening in the UK , Will This Affect You ?

Ask a Question

There are many changes going on in the UK , multiculture integration being amongst the biggest

Now according to a study we are losing the two main traditional accents in the South , King’s English and Cockney , these are being replaced by three new accents,

Voice analysis found the two accents had been overtaken by standard southern British English (SSBE), as articulated by Ellie Goulding; estuary English, as spoken by Adele; and multicultural London English, as voiced by Stormzy.

So things don't only look different, they sound different too

So is this going to effect the way people learn English, and make it harder for none English speakers to learn the language ?

If so you could be in big 'Barney rubble'

There are lots of accents around the UK and different dialects too. I am Welsh so It does not effect me. My first language Is Welsh too. I was raised In a Welsh community and was schooled In a Welsh language School. There are different Welsh accents too depending on where you are from. Not all Welsh people has a Welsh accent. English Is the most easiest language to learn so It won’t matter. It’s only the slang that’s different. Only the Welsh know how to Cwtch.

Emerge11 I know what you mean E

I used to work in North Wales, most people there spoke English

But go down to Bangor for example and you hear a lot of people speaking Welsh, even in shops

My nieces live in North Wales and went to a Welsh school but speak English with a twang or accent

I find there's mire if a twang in certain people from watching a lot of American TV. They use American words rather then English words
