The Professor of Bristolian's channel featuring Bristolian Talkin' Tom, Bristolian Father Christmas, Bertie the Bristolian bird and the Professor 'imself givin' a few Bristolian language lessons and tips. What's more, the Professor actually reveals 'is true identity in a few music and keepie uppie vids from a few years back!
Sardinia in Italy actually, which is where my missus is from. Been trying to teach her Bristolian but her 'r's are too rolled (or should I say rawled?) My stepson, however, can say bananawl like a true Bristolian!
My mum came from a large family who grew up in Bedminster/Ashton Gate border area. Your Bristol City supporter accent had me in stitches 🤣🤣 That was exactly how they spoke about everything (not just football), in that soft but very Bristol in a rather sorrowful defeatist slightly moaning tone.
I was born in Brum (Birmingham ) family moved to Brissol 12 yrs lay er. I couldn't unnerstand them, and they cudner unnerstan me. What was most prevelant, especially from the old Bristolians of the 1950's was, How Bist' ? ( how are you ? ) 'de cassant' ( you can't ) 'De Bissant' Biss ?( you didn't did you ?) De be, ( you Are) Now listen to Adge Cutler singing, with his south Brissol north Somerset accent.
You are amazing! I grew up in Bedminster but moved away when I was eleven so it’s fantastic to hear all the different accents I remember from my childhood. Thank you.
Thank you so much. I've done a much more recent one on the same theme, making use of Snapchat to create different characters, called 'The Bristol Accent In All Its Glorious Variations".
Absolutely brilliant!! Thank you so much for this tour!! I have a great idea of the accent now so feel fully equipped for my VO job tomorrow. You are a ledge!! 😀
Wow, that was spectacular, especially to an Aussie from Sydney. So follow up question in light of the Stephen Merchant reference: John Cleese is from Weston-super-Mare, does he have any traces of Somerset or Bristolian to the trained ear?
John Cleese speaks with pretty much a 'standard English' accent. Incidentally, my brother lived in Sydney for 18 years and I've visited the city twice. After a fortnight there I was saying 'wadda' for water instead of using the classic Bristolian pronunciation 'wa'urr'!
Thanks a lot. Recorded this before the days of snapchat. Did a more up-to-date version on the same theme very recently - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GOHvGSUr5lU.html
Moved to cardiff so I'm tryna sound more Bristolian to wind people up since they're already tryna correct how I say spider, forty, butter, burger, her etc
What about the St Paul's/Easton accents? Easton sounds like a cross between Hartcliffe and Punjabi/Arabic for some reason, no idea what A St Paul's accent sounds like.
My older brother lived in Sydney, Australia for 18 years and I remember when I stayed with him in the 90s I tried to teach my youngest niece (who was about 4 at the time) the expression "ow bist?" Of course, she repeated it in her Australian accent and then asked "What does it mean?" My brother overheard and, having lived away from Bristol for a long time and being Oxbridge educated, he was horrified. "What are you teaching her?" he yelled!
@@gdsongwriter Haha. Mate, if you think "Poshtolian" is a larf, you need to get an earful of "Aussie abroad". These are various dropkicks & butt nuggets terminally diagnosed with cultural cringe and have decided the remedy is to sound like Prince Andrew if he was raised in Wormwood Scrubs.
I'm from Bristol originally from Fishponds now living in Yorkshire the locals make fun of our accent and they do not sound Bristolian intact they sound like total idiots . They have even said to me to mimick their accent but why be foolish and sound idiotic.
I can believe it. Unfortunately the generic west country accent, used to cover the whole of the west country, is too prominent owing to the way it's featured far too often on TV. I had relatives from North Devon with whom we used to stay with when I was a kid and to me their accent was as different from a Bristol accent as a cockney accent is.
Well, I'm from Bristol in the UK which I believe is a much larger city than most of the places named Bristol in the US (with a population of nearly half a million). I'm not familiar with the Bristol accents in the US.
gdsongwriter well there is only one accent in America nowadays we all sound the same unless your from boston hell even some Canadians sound like they could be American maybe it's cause of the media idk but i thought this was bristol Virginia but i forgot the U.K. one existed
