We, the English, have decided we are bored with you, the non-English, grouping all our accents into one as though we're some sort of inter-bred red-necked nation. As such, we are providing you with samples of our accents to prove you all wrong. So far it is only myself and Ali with recordings, but any other English person wishing to join in (and I hope you all do) please read:

'This is my English accent. As you can see, it sounds nothing like the other English accents on the board. This is because there is no such thing as an English accent'

in order to make it easier on the non-English, who may struggle to compare if we do not read the same words.

Oh, and if you non-English find it necessary, I suppose I'll let you record your own accents as well, simply add 'non' to the front of each 'English' that is said in the dialouge.

By the way, if, after hearing a few accents you feel the urge to say 'LOL THEY'RE ALL THE SAME', I pray do not, for you will only look like a Neanderthal without the proper hearing range to detect the frequent and obvious differences.

Now that you are all properly informed on the proceedings within this topic, lets crack on shall we? Here is my sample.

Voice pitches and stuff? Exactly how much do you think goes INTO an accent? Did you expect a kitchen sink to fall out of one of the samples?

If my sound worked, I'd listen.

But. I've heard ya'll on the news.

You all sound the same to me D=

[Vegas]

What a fun topic

Ahh see mumeis sounds different. Has a splash of irish in it.

[Voltron]

Eeyore's and Ali's sound almost similar. Not much difference between the two really.

THANK YOU. 3-2 now donkeh.

[Waser Lave]

Yeah you all sound the same.

[Eeyore]

What a fun topic

Thank you for your contribution . Hopefully these non-English neanderthal's will eventually get the idea .

[Eeyore]

*sigh* Why do people keep calling me donkey? I don't particularly like it you know x-x.

[ROFLCopterz]

Can you SERIOUSLY not hear the differences in the way we pronounce 'nothing', 'other', 'such'....

Not by much.

[Brad]

Seriously people. They sound NOTHING alike. If you can't hear the glaring differences, then you should probably rinse your ears out with acid or something.

[Vegas]

If you can't pick up the difference after listening to each thrice then its too minor to be called different.

[Just Another User]

hahahah

They'll only tell you that you sound the same as me. Ugh, can you imagine it, saying Manchester sounds the same as south coast?!

NO. After hearing JAU it makes me wanna send him daily vocabulary lessons.

Lol when you speak normal you can pick it up mich.

[Eeyore]

That wasn't normal anyway x-x. But as long as I've managed to convince you that I sound different.

[Vegas]

Liar.

[Eeyore]

Liar.

No, not liar, my punctuation was fucked up because I was concentrating so hard on my pronunciation and not making it sound the same . I don't normally talk like I do in the sample at the top, but I don't normally speak like I did in the sample I sent you, either. The best example of how I do actually speak would be in a video Joe put up of our trip to brummy.
