Guess the English Accent! 

Idk

That Canadian accent sucked one there's Newfoundland, West Coast, northern Ontario and Quebec and its really hard to tell unless you are rural which is true for the Australian and Scottish accents you played as well rural accents are different from urban accents

At 4:10 I wonder which NHL player is being interviewed because he sounds Canadian af.

@@meowpoosaymeow What are you talking about? They don't speak English in Greece! 🇬🇷

At what speed?

@@somedudes6455 walk speed.

Lmao

Why?😂

Sure, it's ridiculous to sum up the whole country in one accent. Same goes for Scotland.

as far as I know, there are more than 30 and all of them are extremely different than each other

As a brit i live in the south near London and i struggle to understand someone from Manchester due to the accent

@@kaiimms5357 I live in London and most of the time people talk fast I just don't understand anything even though I understand 100% of RP / formal speech / standard American English

Nuclear Brit wow that’s weird. I live in Australia and pretty much everyone understands everyone. There are different accents but many of the differences are so minor you wouldn’t know unless you were paying close attention. There are a few outliers like the Perth accent which just sounds more cockney and Melbourne which just have sharper R’s

I didn't realize that there were many American accents. I'm surprised I didn't get American English in New York. So sorry everyone.

Lmao🤣🤣

accent is not language dummy

@@blusk2248 U dont get the joke dummy

@@blusk2248 r/woooosh

@@drniravkumar9891 Lol another one of these r/wooshes

That would be a lot harder!

Vivy-kun it would be much easier because you can hear how they would pronounce a word and that can lead to their language.

@@vivy-kun3510 The opposite.

@@fabiansaerve yeah for instance, a German speaker speaking English may pronounce a “w” as a “v” the way they do in German which is a clue to the language

They did. India and the Philippines are not English-speaking countries

And also the guy from Windows Corporation calling to tell me my computer has a virus that will bring down the Internet unless I let him log in remotely.

@@historyforsigmas Yes😂

Yes ahahahahha

Anyway, Indians are so good with tutorials and I always watch their videos lol

Yeah lol.

I love the Welsh accent :D

You mean sheep 🐑 😂😂😂😂😂😂

It was North Walian. Welsh accents change as you move. The Welsh Language is also different in different regions

@@nicolascarey6330 Agree. Unusual because examples of the Welsh accent in English are nearly always South Walian. For the Welsh language itself the opposite probably true.

@@Rosie6857 Only Gogs think that. Everybody knows that true welsh is Pembrokeshire Welsh. WILL YOU STOP LAUGHING!!!

That’s what I was thinking lol

I think it’s the official “hockey” accent.

Glad it wasnt just me haha it sounded like a hockey commentator

Same thoughts...

first thing I thought was "thats an Ontario boy right there". the canadian accent they showed had none of the hallmarks of Canadian english.

Time stamp

U forgot jamaican

i cant tell the singapore

Lol Yung pfp mo parang towel na chicken sa Jollibee Filipino ka ba🤣🤣🤣😂😂

It's offensive to call half of those "English" accents when they're nothing of the sort

Ay that’s cheating!

SAME im Geordie too. love this comment.

THATS THE ONLY REASON I GOT IT, bc i knew who the speaker was

Samee!!

🙌🙌 they couldn't have chosen a better person

@@vik5791 true. Nothing but the truth. Or Perrie edwards tho...

If you hear the recordings that the Germans did of POWs in WW1 there used to be a lot more regional accents. But migration and probably TV have changed things.

Hell yeh mate why there's so many accent in uk but here in straya we only got 3 lmao

yeah that was extremely mild

I live in Wolverhampton and that brummie accent was deffo weak

Were you 'sent to Coventry'?

Yeah honestly it would have been a bit more accurate to say Northern Midwest, Places like Idaho and Montana are technically North Central but sound very, very different from the clip.

@@gooseincitypark definitely from a post game interview. Probably Minnesota

Yes. Upper Midwest, not Chicago. I will respectfully disagree with the person who guessed Minnesota. I think Iowa. Or maybe Ohio? Doesn't have that sing-song quality that I associate with Minnesota accents.

The only place in America I hear that accent is the state of Minnesota, maybe the white people who live in North Dakota, idk. The white people around the Great Lakes - Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, western NY - don't sound anything like that

I'm sure that was a Canadian or someone in Canada

The accent in Canada varies more than people think. Along with the Atlantic varieties, there are differences between Anglo-Montreal, Ontario, the Prairies and west coast. The differences aren't as pronounced as you might hear say across England, but they're still there.

@Diana sick and how do you know what Newfoundland is?

@@davidreichert9392 I notice that English Montrealers don't always nasalize words like "can, Canada, and, & dance." The people in Toronto do nasalize them.

Your accent as an Canadain is closet to the Californian accent

I'm from Australia, and to me the Newfoundland accent sounds almost exactly like Irish

Ahh time stamp please cant watch all of these ive been waiting for the ph

05:40 palya ang pronoumciation "with row" instead of "with raw" "depowsit" instead of deposit" inartehan pa kasi.

It's obvious haha

Sarap sa tainga

​@@bron1477gi iyot ang aking taiga ng ad

It’s true that quite a few had very muted accents.

It makes it more of a challenge.

3:39 singaporean sounded like nothing honestly

Constantine Ravenna It definitely sounded like a vaguely Asian accent, but that was about it. The Maltese one was the hardest for sure.

@@StamfordBridge Not for me

Los primeros eran claramente acentos irlandeses, no ingleses, amigo.

It’s more compelling to say where you’re from, not just that you’re a Spanish speaker. There are dozens of countries that speak Spanish. Are you from Spain? Are you from Venezuela? Lol WHERE is your perspective coming from?

The same for me that speak Portuguese

This sounded very South African to me. I am South African. Let me explain. My country has 11 official languages. There are also 4 official race groups, as per apartheid classification. This is still sort of accepted as a reference, because it works practically (we as SAs don't take offence to it). So here they are (% indicating population proportionality): 1) Blacks (79%). Divided into xhosa, zulu, venda, sotho, pedi, tswana, tsonga. 2) Coloureds (9%) 3) Whites (9%). Afrikaners (Dutch-descended) and English (British-descended) 4) Asians (2%). Indians and Chinese Blacks mostly speak their indigenous native tongue as a first language, but most can speak some form of English to varying degrees. Many of the younger generation, and less often the older generations, speak it as a mother-tongue. Almost all whites can speak English, esp of course, those who are British-descended. These speak it as a mother-tongue. Afrikaners speak it as a second language (very few cannot speak it). Most Coloureds (like whites) are bilingual. They speak either English or Afrikaans as a mother-tongue, and the other as a second-language. More speak Afrikaans than English. So the situation here is very much like the whites. Asians = these are mostly Indians, and almost all speak English as a mother-tongue. Chinese people can all speak some form of English. In essence, most South Africans can speak some form of English, as SA is an ex-British colony. Now, if you analyse my speech above, it will become clear to you that there is no standard SA accent, since so many ethnicities and languages exist. You may very well imagine, then, that many accents exist. So, who are the mother-tongue English groups? Refer to my speech above: 1) White British-descended SAs 2) Some Coloured people 3) Most Indian people 4) Some black people (esp the younger generation) 5) Some Afrikaans kids (younger generation, where Afrikaans parents have made the decision to raise them using English as a "mother-tongue", as it were). So, depending on the upbringing and the schooling, as well as some other influences, various accents will be used amongst these "mother-tongue groups" (MTGs). Many sound British-influenced, others not. Amongst "English-Second-Language Groups (ESLGs), other accents prevail, although these can take on British-influenced accents as well. The type of South African accent heard in the video sounds to be coming from MTG 1, a British-descended white South African. Do I make myself clear? A word in passing: there is no such thing as "A" South African accent. There are VARIOUS SA accents rather than "A" SA accent. Is this understood? But a classic "ENGLISH SA ACCENT" would probably regard the MTG1 as the prototype. As heard in the video. Kindly take time to make sense of this! PS: Wikus Van De Merwe is an Afrikaner (descended from the Dutch). Thus, English is not his mother tongue. His mother tongue is Afrikaans (daughter language of Dutch). Please tell me you understand? Never make this mistake again. Charlize Theron is also an Afrikaner. Afrikaans is her mother tongue. Her current version of English has been strongly influenced by America. Elon Musk is a British-descended English-mother-tongue speaker. Trevor Noah is Coloured (mixed race). His mother is a black woman (she speaks Xhosa as a mother tongue). She raised Trevor to speak English as a "mother tongue", as it were. His dad is Swiss-German, by the way. But he was mostly absent from Trevor's life. Roger Federer's mother is Afrikaans. She is South African. Like Trevor, his father is Swiss as well. So Federer is half South African, half Swiss. He was raised in Switzerland.

@@ochrechap that's really interesting to know

She sounds like a South African Jew from Johannesburg 😂 [There are many, many South African Accents]

Yes, I wish they had used an Afrikaner accent. It's absolutely delightful when the Afrikaners speak English!

Right? To me Welsh sounded more like the Saffa

I honestly though it was new Zealand at first

@@eaubert1 Afrikaners are not native English speakers, so that wouldn't make sense.

Kim Kardashian

same sounds basic lol

I don’t want to offend anyone however, I would say that’s my least favourite accent. It hurts my ears.

so true, im from dunners so ive got the southern kiwi accent

The “a” always gives it away.

This was more Polynesian kiwi. North Island.

The Northern Ireland was about average (it was James Nesbitt btw) Paisley was from Ballymena which sounds almost Scottish!

@@davidtaylor4975 I have personally known a few Northern Irish people over the years, including one from Ballymena. The Northern Irish accent can be very difficult to understand, even if it’s someone you know well.

Northern Irish is very easy, just do Ian Paisley bellowing GINGER AND COMMUNITY! cheers Jimmy Carr, who is of course Jamaica when said in a Jamaican accent.

No they're different. Canadian and American accent are very similar but people in Canada pronounce words like "Out." differently.

@@fullmetaltheorist I believe what F J Cook was trying to say was that people have difficulty identifying the difference between Canadian and American accents, in the same way Americans seem to be unable to distinguish between Australian and New Zealand accents.

@@fullmetaltheorist Not really, Canada has several accents, the west coast of Canada pretty much share the same accent as NorCal, Oregon and Washington.

Tsaka de-pow-seet

THANK YOU! I was trying to place it!

Yeah - such an identifiable NY accent

There are multiple accents in England, which one did you mean?

@@vadimzdonutube so does in India , that one was a Southern one.

Which part of England?

right 😭

I live in Scotland. That's too right! 😂😂😂

It was the "oo" word that gave it away for me.

Not all filipinos sounds like that tho lol

@@cuteako9078 yep our accent also evolved through times tho, some of us-- especially the upper class filipinos or the ones who's in a prestigious universities, their accent were sometimes closer to americans

@@siopao734 I think it's more about how exposed/inudated you are to American culture. I'm not "upper class" (and so does nerds I know) and we all talk like Calis.

@@rajavlitra ah yess

Very simple: when an American is extremely shy and polite, while saying "oot" and "aboot" instead of "out" and "about", he's probably Canadian.

@@eaubert1 No one ever says oot or aboot. It's pronounced just like in American English

@@deathbygrapes5 I actually find it's more like "aboat", but maybe that's just where I live. But it's definitely not aboot.

It is both- notice how he pronounces, "seen" more flat than in the central states but he does pronounce, "about" wider. Also "year", the "a" is emphasized while the "o" in "ago" is stressed. The mix of flat sounds and rounded sounds was a dead giveaway to me.

The canadian "about" is [əʊ], rather than [uː]

I never hear "aboat" or "aboot." Then again, I'm Canadian.

nigel owens👀🤣

Haha, saaaame

Samma sak här! Bommade Geordie (av någon anledning), Filipino, north-central (eller vad den nu hette) American och Maltese.

Well done, I only got 19 and theoretically it's my mother of a tongue. There were a couple accents I'd never heard before (Maltese, Filipino) and where did they dredge up that american hockey player?

@@b3ngunn I thought it sounded like a hockey player too! That's why I went "Canadian...?" first xD

​@@Hurricane000007That north-central accent is usually called a "Midwestern" accent because the north-central region was the actual Midwest a long time ago. It's still called the Midwest.

I think the intent was accents from places where English is commonly spoken as a first language.

@@tyrelchavez english is also a language of the philipines but not first language

Well, I actually expected quite the opposite.

@@herobrine3306 Yep my country definetly has like wait let me Google it. Edit: It has over 120 languages. They are: Aklanon Central Bikol Cebuano Chavacano Hiligaynon Ibanag Ilocano Ivatan Google just showed these but I swear it has over 120 languages. (Sorry for my bad grammar)

@@SM-ky6pb ...wOt?

not really, im from up north but Essex and London sound different to me

London and Essex are not 10 miles apart, they border each other, north Essex, north of Chelmsford, have a very rural accent, south Essex, from Thurrock to Southend-on-sea, the A13 corridor, have a cockney-like accent, knows as Estuary Essex.

Depends which part of London you are talking about. East London and South West Essex is more or less the same place.

Yeah same 🤣

pero parang hind pinoy yung nag salita duon hahaah iba accent

Typical accent ng mga Pilipino talaga yun HAHAHAHAHAHA

It's actually really easy to identify Filipino accents because they say things like "Virtu-al" and "Sandwheech"

@@daltonmiller5590 virchual

Some Americans also speak that way.

Why so inaccurately?

well here in malta we have English as our main language and Maltese is made up of English, Arabic, French, and Italian so when we speak English it sounds like it but because we have other languages made up in the Maltese language it affects they we talk in all those languages especially English

@@graciesultana7464 I was very confused with Maltese because it sounded exactly like an Arabic accent but she was able to pronounce the “p” perfectly

Here in Singapore our main language is English but we might also say Malay Chinese and Tamil. We use the British accent and the American accent combine

When I heard it I thought it was an interview with Nicholas Latifi who is a Canadian Formula One driver and I was like "LATIFI!!!!! THAT'S CANADIAN" yeah, nah (Kiwi slang for no) it wasn't

As someone who’s from the north-central US (Iowa and Minnesota), I would have to disagree and say this was pretty spot-on for a Minnesota or North Dakota accent. The Canadian accent is a little different (and from what I know of it, though I’m not Canadian so can’t speak to it as well, the Canadian accent here was pretty spot on, too).

@@kirsten879 Oh I didn't say it wasn't a "North-Central" US accent, I said that particular accent sounds more Canadian than the so called 'Canadian' accent @ 7:14.

@@electricrussell True true-the Canadian accent sounded like a very slight version of it. Maybe someone from Toronto?

@@kirsten879 More of an Anglo-Montreal accent.

Not really english accent, some filipinos have american accent

@@exo.6922 Yup, I have an American accent when I speak English. This is very common if you're from an educated middle-class background.
