Lauren here! 🏴 I love the Scottish accent so much😂 this video was so funny to film, I didn’t realise that it would be difficult for Scottish people to pronounce certain words but always fun to learn and compare our accents🤩 and please forgive my attempts at a Scottish accent 😂

Interestingly, the Irish fellow sounded the most American in the way he pronounced these words, making me wonder if the American accent was significant influenced by Irish immigrants back in the day.
Fun fact: The British accent is the one that's changed the most in the past 200 years, not the American accent. Received Pronunciation and the UK dropping their rhoticity is responsible for a lot more of the perceived difference than America's melting pot. (But yes, America does have a lot of Irish in the mix.)
The American lexicon is also an interesting mix. One example is that a male parent is often called “Dad” in the US but the male grandparent is rarely referred to as one’s “Grandad” but rather “Grandpa.”
An interesting question, that! Weirdly, due to community restrictions and a lack of travel, several places in teh US still retain most, if not all, of the accents as they arrived here. Teh Smokey Mountains, for instance, have a lot of older-sound Irish lifts, while some communities in ... nuts. One of teh Carolinas... just don't recall if it was north or south ... but, regardless, one of teh Carolina accents is still using the same Ensglish accent that arrived there, where teh English in teh UK changed away from teh sound. If you fire up RU-vid, you can hear more of teh US regional variations via the "Accent Tag" search term. It'll get you to several videos of people pronouncing the same words, and answering certain questions, to showcase regional differences. Teh diversity in the American South is *huge*.
@@Wakshaani You may be thinking of Tangier Island in the Chesapeake Bay? It's not in the Carolinas, but pretty nearby (Virginia). Maybe there's something similar in NC or SC and I'm just unaware though... it seems totally like something North Carolina would have😂 I visited Tangier Island once as a teen (I live in Virginia) and it's a very interesting little community! The old legend is that their accent is perfectly preserved from how Shakespeare's English sounded, though I believe most experts now think their accent evolved on its own as the result of how isolated the island is. You can find interviews with residents on RU-vid pretty easily if you want to hear it!
Eoin here! We definitely got the giggles while filming this one. Was such good craic. Personally I think Rowena pronounced everything wonderfully! 😂 Curious if other people have difficulty pronouncing words in their native language too. Let us know.
@@leyren2606 appearance and her accent.. obviously you can become a citisen, that's all well and good, but I think for the point of this comparison it falls flat using someone that's not really native to the land, if you know what I mean
I enjoyed that very much, thanks! When you were talking about the Glaswegian accent it took me back a few decades. I'm South African, by the way, and I was friendly with a Glaswegian expat couple. Helen was easier to understand, but with Alec, I had to spend a few minutes 'tuning in' to him. Well, one Saturday morning I went to visit them. They lived in what we call a maisonette, which is two self-contained houses built one on top of the other. There was a swimming pool on the property, and Alec told me that they had had drama just before I arrived. He said the neighbour's cat had drowned. Of course, I was duly sympathetic, but didn't dwell on it. It was only later in the conversation that I realised that what he had actually said was that the neighbour's kid had drowned!
As a Scot I'd say we don't have problems pronouncing words with "R" in them, "Currly Wurrly" is the correct pronunciation, the English "Kelly Welly" isnt!. I should mention that Scots don't say "Brown", we say Broon"! Glasgow Scots is very much influenced by Ulster Irish, Southern Irish is a much softer dialect. The dialect also differs between Edinburgh, Dundee, Aberdeen, Inverness, Orkney, Shetland and rural areas as well so there's no single "Scots" accent. They're a' braw!
It is the other way round mate! Ulster-Scots is influenced by Glaswegian Scots but there is no such thing as Glaswegian Scots, it is called Central Scots.
@@deereeid1290 OK, I stand corrected, I shouldn't have used the term "Glasgow Scots" when it's actually known as The Patter. Though I note Central Scots has four sub dialects; West Central (Glasgow including Ayreshire, Lanarkshire, etc.) East Central North (Dundee, Fife.) East Central South, (Edinburgh and the Borders - The area I live in) and South Central Scots, (Dumfries, Ayr, Doon hamer country) Strangely, post boxes in the East Central South are painted "Rid" while in South Central they're "Reed" As an asides, Scots can pronounce "Loch" perfectly while the English speakers have problems. (The Irish have" Lough" so no problems there.) We've also got great words like "Pechin" (CH as in loch) which means puffed out after some exertion like running or walking up hill.
It is very clearly stated numerous times there is no single accent. Especially at the end she talks about how you can go 10kms down the road and encounter an entirely different dialect. She is just a representative
As a Glaswegian I pronounce it all just like this Scottish lady… it is very stereotypical… I know a lot of people here and none have strong Glasgow accents either… it is like people who visit New York City and claim they all speak like the hood ghettos… Glasgow accent they speak of are a small minority and you may find a;l of them in the city because they are the most hooligans n loudest of Glasgow. There are far more Glasgow folk who speak clear English mild accent n live indoors you’ll never see them because they are decent souls.
Am fae a village in South Lanarkshire, an a need tae say bit A hink that us folk in the Western places in Scotland have trouble wae words wae 'r' cause we aw roll the 'r' quite a bit when we talk
As a Scot, I honestly think that way we pronounce the "R" sound more accurately represents the letter than the way that English commonly pronounce it. With English accents, those listening are typically left guessing on whether a word contains the letter "R" at all. With a Scottish accent, people are left with no illusions as to whether there is an "R" in the word.
Most of England rolled the R several decades ago but the south stopped pronouncing it and that spread to the entire country, our dialects are getting weaker over time
I am from Guatemala and learned English as a second language. When I was learning, I tried to talk to a person from the US, and he told me I sounded like his Scottish friend. Now I understand why he told me that and realized that I pronounce some words like the woman from this video. This is really awesome. Great video you guys.
I'm Italian, struggling to learn English with a pretty decent accent, and it's really funny for me, find that Scottish pronounce is very close to italian accent (in particular about the "R" pronounce)
@@tim1724 I'm from Ireland and don't know anyone who would rhyme those two words. "Girl" has one syllable but "squirrel" has two, and the vowel sound is also different. Girl kind of sounds like "gerl" or "gehrl", while squirrel is more like "squih-r'l".
Common misconception that a Glaswegian accent is "the Scottish accent". Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee, Inverness and Aberdeen all have different accents. That's not to mention the wider highlands and islands or Fife. It's frustrating to hear people tell a scot that they don't have a "strong" Scottish accent when in reality its just a different accent to Glaswegian. It's like saying a Londoner has a weak English accent because it's not Scouse.
Yeah. 100% agree. I’m from Glasgow but I don’t have the stereotypical Glasgow accent as my Mum is from Argyll and my Grandmother was from Lewis. People are forever telling me I don’t sound Scottish or that they are surprised they can understand me. It gets so old very quickly. And if truth be told, I’ve had a harder time understanding people in London and New York.
Late to comment, so sorry! This was another really fun video to film, and Lauren and Eoin are fun to film with as always! Have any of you guys been to Scotland? If so, which part did you visit? Did you manage to understand the accent? Scotland is honestly a beautiful and cultural rich country, steeped in history, and if you haven’t been already, I highly recommend you guys go one day!❤️ Continue to support WORLD FRIENDS, keep smiling and look forward to more fun videos like this soon! 🙌🏼
I spent 10 days in Dunoon two years ago as part of an exchange and pretty much understood everybody although there was a teacher with quite thick of an accent!

@@joshuawatson3054 this doesn't negate mine and everybody else's disappointment that she's not a Scot and her accent is whack, I mean its not half as thick or genuine as what you would typically hear in Scotland.
@@joshuawatson3054 No, I've been to Scotland. Edinburgh, the Highlands, the lowlands. And frankly I've never heard an accent like hers anywhere, it sounds like a mixture of different accents.
Scots are the nicest people on this planet. I just got back and i was amazed about how nice these folks are. Unbelievable, the must have a great life. So happy caring and friendly ... never have i've seen such people.
Something a lot of people don’t know about the Irish is that they are world class in they’re art, poetry, literature and music. We have a very clear way of expressing ourselves and the emphasis on cultural and literary education in this country is astounding (due to the government desperately trying to form a national identity after centuries of brittish occupation).
Hi from Singapore! It's 3 a.m. but cannot sleep, so RU-vid, ha ha! A few years ago I worked with another girl who was from Scotland. As a prank we would go into a crowded bar here (preferably with some expats and tourists in it also) and she would talk to me with her most heavy Scottish accent and lots of slang and I would answer using as much rapid Singlish as possible with a little Mandarin mixed in. We could not completely understand each other this way either, but we set up ahead and practised a little what the conversation would be about. Wah, the reactions in the crowd around us were SO hilarious! 🤣 Good times. I miss her. 🥰
@@xuimod No. Not at all! We both arranged it with each other as a careful prank on people around us! We told them after and never met anyone who did not find it funny. If they did not then we would have stopped.
I guess since Irish and Scottish are rhotic, sometimes they sound closer to American English. E.g. the Irish pronunciation of squirrel sounds the same as the American.
@@thebatmanwhoposts9600 Yes, she probably would change her accent a lot in Korea too. Even English people struggle to understand our accents sometimes so I imagine she'd have to tone it down a lot for Koreans who are mostly only exposed to American accents in media. I am from the west of Scotland whereas she is from Edinburgh so there are a fair few differences from that alone but I am fairly certain that she is not speaking with her full native accent.
@@joshuawatson3054 A german born in China doesn't become Chinese do they? If I was born in an African nation would I be african? Of would I be a European born there? Double standard. She doesn't even have a Scottish accent. WE are a race, she might be born in scotland (she actually came here as a child btw) but you don't become a scottish person.
Loved this episode. The Scottish woman was simply delightful. Loved her accent. Bit of trivia. Not sure how this would go in today’s world. But, about 15 years ago there was a study done of which English language accent was perceived as the most pleasant and helpful when providing customer or technical support. This was during a time when many companies were making the decision as to the best location for building phone centers. Guess which accent beat all the others hands down. That’s right. It was the Scottish woman’s accent. And, yes, gender of the speaker made a rather large difference. Fun, huh? My first real experience with this was when I was a teenager. One of my workout buddies was raised here in the US. Though he was born in Scotland. When I went over to his house and spoke to his mom I was completely enchanted by her accent. I used to make up questions for her to answer. Just so I could listen to her talk.
I remember it being a scouse woman for call centers, and a Scotsman for airplane pilots, but a lot of waters passed under the bridge since then so i could be wrong
@@joshuawatson3054 frankly I excepted a video about testing the difficulty of bizzare english words for a scot. And what I said is literally saying I want another dialect or regional section of the scottish accent, clearly going against whatever you just somehow thought about me.
I think this should be called “Words the English can’t pronounce”, because they don’t even pronounce the “R” at all 😂 I sort of have a British accent myself and thought this was really funny 😆 Love the video! ❤️
I am a Native Scot, the way that girl pronounced Brown is extremely alien to me, it sounded Indonesian or Filipino or Spanish. We say Broon or Brown not BRRRRRRRRown. Most scots couldn't roll their Rs like that, I can't and my accent is stronger than hers, it is a tap, that's what people don't understand, it is a Tapped R. I think she definitely has an Indonesian mummy, and now everyone is going to think we roll our Rs which is my biggest pet peeve.

I feel like the Scottish would disown me because I pronounce all these words pretty clearly since I grew up in New Zealand. My friends say I have a Scottish accent (which they like to make fun) but I’m let to wonder if they’ve actually heard a Scottish accent because mine is very weak. I do wonder if other Scottish people think I have a Scottish accent or if I went to Scotland people would think I’m from New Zealand.
When ever I didn't understand my Scottish mates father talking, he would say to me... (sounding like) "mook ya loogs mun", (although spelt like) "Muck your lugs man!" Which evidently 'translates' to "Clean out your ears man". Whole new words there !!!! :-)

I’m Asian raised in NYC. My parents had a layover in Dublin, and they remarked how eerily similar the environment was to the US: their accents and mannerisms reminded them of white people back home, even the style of their customer service and handling of food was the same (rough and shoddy, their words, not mine). I think I have to take a trip to Ireland myself to see the ancestral homeland of one of the US’ largest ethnic groups.

@@Judathehero that’s just plain racist. Yes, she has an inflection - so what? It’s still a recognisably Scottish accent. You are wilfully in denial if you claim you cannot hear it. You are just annoyed because she’s not white. If her parents had been English-white but she’d been raised in Scotland and had a Scottish accent, you wouldn’t be claiming that she wasn’t Scottish. You’d be none the wiser. It’s only because she is Asian by race that you claim she’s not Scottish when she clearly is.
as a glaswegian, I have a rule that helps to know when we roll r's. While it is likely not 100% accurate for every case, it definitely happens a lot. if the R is followed by a consonant (curly wurly, Carl, purple), the R is not rolled (exceptions include world, whirl, girl). But if the R is followed by a vowel, the R is rolled. :)
You think you can compare Chinese birth law and British birth law? It doesn't make you more clever at all by using different birth law by countries. This video is about comparing accents not comparing ethnicities anyway.

Cause she is indeed a Scottish for being born and brought up in Edinburgh and you think Scotland has only Glasgow accent? Seriously dude stop making yourself feel better and stop liking your own comments already.
That was a hardly noticeable Scottish accent... if you wanted to demonstrate this better you should have used someone else with a thicker accent that has been in country for more than just a generation or two!

A young man from Glasgow stayed with us back in the 1980"s. Turtle came out tuttle. Vernors came out veernords. Root beer came out ahdrootbeuh, it was interesting. We are still friends through facebook, all these years later. He had never seen a pumpkin, a whole watermelon, a snake or turtle except for in zoos. He also had never been stung by a bee before. His precise village was Tory Glen.
I hate to break it to you, but many Scottish people aren’t white. To quote the song Scotland’s Story by The Proclaimers: “In Scotland's story I’m told that they came The Gael and the Pict, the Angle and Dane But where's all the Chinese and Indian names? They're in my lands’ story and they're all worth the same.”
@Zacharyan Sanctuson beware. This guy is also holding another account name Jaime Gutier. He is saying that to make himself feel better only to cover the fact that he is making himself look worse than he already is.
Enough with your insecurity cause she was born in Edinburgh Scotland and brought up in Edinburgh Scotland so she is very Scottish while you are just an insecure racial discriminator here and you are not even from Texas at all.
@@joshuawatson3054 Honestly, I don't mean to discriminate and I know there are some lovely people from Texas as well, like all places... But unfortunately, this is very typical of the Texas stereotype. And in my own personal experience, I have met more Texans who fit the stereotypes than those who subvert them. I've had a lot of negative experiences with very right-wing people from Texas who love to be as nationalistic and racist as can be. Again, I know it may seem ironic since it seems like I'm doing the same thing, but I at least understand that not everyone from Texas is like this. It just fits with what I've heard about them *and* what I've had to deal with myself. I don't like these kinds of people regardless of where they're from. I wish everyone could be more respectful and more understanding and sensitive in general.
@@ShizuruNakatsu fyi this Texas Mac is just one of his accounts here to troll. He had way too many RU-vid accounts and he is making himself very insecure here because he is just not into Rowena at all.
@@joshuawatson3054 So the other people I've seen making similar comments about Rowena are all the same person? I seen one caller Abdul Muhammad or something too, who made very similar comments.
What’s one thing that’s very pathetic is that one guy keeps on insisting the Scottish girl is a filipina and when looking at her profile it says she is a Scottish-Chinese so using the word filipina is the only reason to cover his own low self esteem not to mention there is no “we” but that guy only.
@@Kim-ky8ek Individuals born within the People's Republic of China automatically receive Chinese nationality at birth if at least one parent is a Chinese national.
@@bharampatel6689 Yes, that's right. A lot of Asians with American citizenship still speak English with a unique accent. It is in the same vein that an Asian American citizen living in Arkansas makes a RU-vid video saying "I will teach you Southern English" while speaking English with a Chinese accent.
@@joshuawatson3054 there is a long standing joke in the rest of Scotland that Edinburgh is really an English colony because there are so many English people in Edinburgh and there is also a very neutral Edinburgh accent. I know some other comments have been saying really awful racist things about her not being really Scottish but I don’t think that’s the intent here.
wow, no welsh people invited the the British accent meeting. i see how it is edit: by British i meant British isles (which I understand is itself an outdated term), i did not mean to imply Ireland was British

I couldn't not subscribe. Listening to people share their experiences and simply laugh at the differences warms my heart. We could use some of that here in America.... 😞
Haha, I was looking for this comment. Hey, Jesus Watson, I noticed you keep posting the same comment on every video where the "scottish" filipina appears. Are you a shill from the government? I hope they don't pay you much since you are doing a nasty job, and not in performance.
@@joshuawatson3054 If she was born and raised in Africa we wouldn't be calling her African. She's not ethnically scottish, she's Asian. You are robbing her of her proud Asian heritage calling her Scottish. It's not being born on the soil that makes you scottish, or moving to scotland. You're either from indiginous Scottish genetics or you aren't. It's not hard. We all know this, why are you so far behind?
As an American, it was very interesting to see how sometimes Lauren was the closest to how we would pronounce a word ("vocabulary") and how frequently Eoin was the closest. Rowena's pronunciation was pretty much NEVER the way we would say it, which was quite fascinating. I loved all the accents, though! If you're curious, "Irish Wristwatch" was very hard for me, too, but I had no problems with "A roll of linoleum" (we probably have more of that in the US ;)
