My SCOTTISH ACCENT is FROM WHERE? | Kirstie Bryce 

The Barbara youre having a baby cracked me up😭😂😂 I’m also Scottish and I really need to try this out 😂

I could stay here for an eternity and just listen to you speak. Thanks for sharing YOUR Scotland with us. Much love from Germany.

Right give us a sec, I’m about to track my own accent down! This cracked me uppppp

Oh my God :) I used to have round six hours a week of phonetics and phonology during my bachelor's studies. And we went through a ton of material on those subjects. How each vowel and consonant is different depending on a countless variety of factors :) How cool is now seeing you doing a video like that? It's like a quarter of a chapter from one of them brick-books in a nutshell! These were the good days :) I much appreciate the content and this video as a language geek :)

I was born and raised in Canada. Lived next door (read: there every day) to my Scottish grandparents (one from Perthshire; one from Keith) for the first 10 years of my life. I used the app and discovered my accent is from Laois, Dromcolliher and Fermoy in feckin' Ireland. LOL!!! Who?

Hi Kirstie! Thank you a lot for your nice videos. I'm russian and I am a fan of your accent :)

Great video!!!!

I once followed a course on general phonetics, so I developed a good ear for these things, and I can hear what went wrong in answering the questions: in the word 'chicken' you pronounce the second vowel more or less like [ɪ], so option A not B, but lowered a bit, like all Scots pronounce it, and very short, which makes it sound almost like option B. The makers of the app should have included the option of lowered [ɪ] because that's very characteristic for Scottish accents! It's almost like the makers didn't think much about Scottish accents and dialects, also the fact that they didn't even include the word 'skelf'. The app also seems to mark all kinds of pronunciations which I think are general also in Scotland as distinctively English! In the question about 'a bit of' you should have answered C, because you pronounce the t like a glottal stop, not a d or a tapped r sound. In the question on the word 'room' they left out the most common Scottish pronunciation! You definitely have the vowel of option B though. Option A, which you chose, is typical for very posh older RP, I think, hahaha. In the last question the transcription and the recording of option B don't quite match up, but I think you should have gone with that one instead of C, because the transcription of B matches with your pronunciation, while transcription and sound of C definitely don't, although it sounds very similar. So the app has some inaccuracies, but if you'd fill it in like I said, it would probably indicate some location in Scotland.

Both ma parents are from Glasgow and I grew up in loads of places, Lanarkshire to Cumbria, then to Belgium then to Lincolnshire, so my accent is mixed with Scottish, Northern English, East Midlands, so I found this so interesting as I identify as Scottish! I got Oban, Bridge of Weir and Kilbirnie!

I'm an American, and my aunt is from Newcastle and, as I am sure you know, has a very particular English accent. Your accent (and manner of speaking) sounds like a mix of her's and what I'd consider a "traditional" (I know there are many but go with it!) Scottish accent. So I guess I can see how people may think you sound a bit Irish? That northern English/Newcastle accent and Scottish seem to mix to sound like that! Just a random thought I had which probably is completely off :D Either way, the vid was great, as usual.

The closest UK relative I have is my grandfather from Wales who died when I was newborn so I've never heard anyone in my family speak with a UK accent yet everyone says I have one. So let me try this. And just came back from doing it. My hearing isn't the greatest and some were close so there could have been a more believable result but the top three guesses were in Ireland and the reddest area on the map was between Nottingham and Doncaster in England...nowhere near Wales!

To me you have a classy Scottish accent!

Id say your'e Ek/Ayrshire, I live in Poland now so I awfa miss the accent and patter 😅 I moved from coalburn to muirkirk for a few years and honestly the way they count to 11 (ALEEVIN) is absolutely mindboggling 😅. Great vids 👍

Enjoyed watching it

My main "Personal Policy" for accents is that I make a deliberate and conscious effort to do my very best to ignore a person's accent and instead simply focus on what the person has to say. I do this out of respect, to not objectify people based on their accents. :-) When I first started watching your videos, I honestly thought to myself, "Hey, she sounds just like Shrek! Well, a female version of Shrek, I guess," but I was being polite and not blurting that stuff out aloud. I simply kept those thoughts to myself...but now that I realize that you love Shrek, I guess it's all good, Ha-Ha-Ha! ;-) I enjoy Shrek too. He's got a wonderful sense of humor, I think. I often struggle to know the difference between Irish and Scottish accents and culture. No need to worry about me being a member of the "Dialect Police" department, Kirstie. You see, I always thought there's only one Scottish accent: THE Scottish Accent. Don't mind me, just being ignorant here. ;-) While I think that accents are interesting, we're all human beings and I focus more on subject matter and less on accents. My friend is severely Hard-Of-Hearing and wears very-very strong Hearing-Aids but she does end up "Hearing But Not Understanding Well," especially when accents are present. But common accents (such as the British or Scottish accents, both of which are spoken by thousands upon thousands of people) don't really cause her difficulty so much as accents commonly caused by the speaker "Speaking English As A Second Language" (a.k.a. "Accented English"). I'm wondering what the phrase, "Taking The Mack Out Of" means. I think my being American might be the reason I'm unaware of what that phrase means.

Hahahah thats a quite funny accents hahaha it make me laugh hahahaha again you made my day(night) rather ahhaha

You've always sounded like Glasgow adjacent to me. Not Glasgow city, but somewhere nearby. Definitely not Edinburgh. My Aunt was seriously Glasgow and perhaps slightly north of same.

I got Glasgow, I'm from Dumfries and Galloway

Did you say where your accent is fae ? It sounds sort of East Coast. Definitely near Edinburgh but not from Edinburgh?

Hello, are you familiar with any Bryce’s in Shotts?

Omg that phone back lmao ye fling that wee hing doon the stairs?

You sound Scottish, I am from East Coast Canada (Halifax) and people have told me I sound American, kind of like you not wanting to sound English.

Thawring Awkingshield

I’m an American and just downloaded the app to see what my American accent is closest to. Interesting results

I’m from Glasgow, grew up in California, moved to Surrey at 13 and Cabo to USA at 19. My accent went threw some stuff. You don’t sound Irish to me and I’ve a good ear.

Can tell you now you dont sound Irish your accent is quite clearly Scottish and very similar to mine :) Mine Falkirk/Weegie

dud Lass, my whole linguistic is weird pronounced, how the f. should I know? Only thing I know people tend to say: Wooohha, SLOW down girl you have a very broad accent.

You have your posh voice on.

Please use the word natural and say it in your accent as much as you possibly can.I love when you say that weird I know

Irish 🤨 WUT ? ....

I think that this is what’s called a crap app.

You are more Scottish than Sean Connery. 😆
