British English accent

A few traits of the received Pronunciation accessory are that the ‘r’ on the
give up of words isn’t mentioned, so “mother” seems like “muh-thuh.”
moreover, sure phrases such as “threat,” “tub,” and “dance” are stated with
the lengthy-sounding A as in “father.”
Cockney

The Cockney accent is characterized by means of the letter ‘t’ being

suggested with much less depth, or almost not noted altogether. this is
called a glottal forestall in phonetics. consequently, words like “better” are
mentioned extra like “beh-uh.”

This English dialect can be difficult to explain, but it can be characterized

by a flat yet friendly-sounding accent. Furthermore, words that normally
have an ‘ee’ sound at the end are pronounced ‘eh.’ For example, “happy”
sounds more like “hap-peh.”
Scottish

Some defining features of the Scottish accent is

that any r’s are generally rolled and vowel
sounds are elongated. For example, the word
“face” is pronounced “fay-ce.” You can get a
better understanding of this accent by watching
the clip below of the movie “Brave.”
Welsh

With almost 30% of the population of

Wales speaking Welsh, their dialect of
English is naturally heavily influenced
by the Welsh language
Northern Irish

The Northern Irish accent is characterized

by rising intonation at the end of sentences,
even when it’s not a question, and an
exaggerated ‘r’ sound at the end of
sentences pronounced like ‘arrr.’
North American English accents

With the size of the United States

being so big, you can imagine
the number of accents that
exist there. We won’t be able to
cover all of them but we will
definitely touch on the most
notable North American
English accents.
 New York City

Another thing you might notice

is that New Yorkers pronounce
words beginning with ‘re’ with a
soft ‘ra’. For example,
“regardless” would be
pronounced “ra-gardless” and
“return” as “ra-turn.”
 Southern

Words typically run together

like “gonna” (going to) and
“lemme” (let me). Some words
that typically have two
syllables instead have one
such as the word “tire” being
pronounced like “taar.” “I” is
also pronounced more like
“aah” and “mah” for “my.”
Putting that all together, you
might hear a sentence like
"lordy be, aah've got a flat taar"
(Oh no, I have a flat tire.)
 Canadian

The giveaway for most is when a

Canadian pronounces the word
“about” as “a-boot.” British English
preferences are found in words like
“news,” which the Canadians
pronounce like “nyoos” rather than
“noos.”
General American
This is the “standard” American English that
typically lacks any distinctly regional, ethnic,
or socioeconomic characteristics. Americans
with high education, or from the Midland,
and Western regions of the country, are the
most likely to be perceived as having
"General American" accents.
Australian English accent

When a ‘t’ comes between two vowels in a word, it

sounds like a ‘d.’ For example, “he drinks a lot
of water” would be pronounced like “he
dinks alodda wader.” The ending of some
words requires the jaw to drop quite a bit
allowing a more wide and open sound. For
example, “letter” would be pronounced like
“led-dah” and “neighbor” as “neigh-bah.”
