2. Accent
1) a distinctive way of pronouncing a
language, especially one associated with
particular country, area or social class.
2)A distinct emphasis given to a syllable or
word in speech by stress or pitch.

3. For each national variety, there are
regional accents, related to geographical
area, and social accents , related to the
educational , socio-economic and ethnic
backgrounds of the speakers.

4. Phonetic and Phonological differences
Differences between accents are two main sorts: phonetic
and phonological. When two accents differ from each other
only phonetically, we find the same set of phonemes in both
accents , but some or all of the phonemes are realized
differently . There may also be differences in stress and
intonation, but not such as would cause a change in
meaning.
Phonological differences are various types.. Within the area
of segmental phonology the most obvious type of
difference is where one accents has a different number of
phonemes from another.

5. TYPE OF ENGLISH ACCENTS
Cockney
This is one of the UK’s most famous dialects, and it goes hand in hand with London.
It came about as the dialect of the London working classes, especially in the poorer
East End of the city.With the Cockney accent there are lots of ‘glottal stops’, and the
‘th’ sound frequently changes to an ‘f’ sound.
Examples
• Scottish-Sco’ish
• Blackboard-bla’board
• Trouble- trou-bow
• Hopefully-opefully
• Mother-mo-thah

6. Estuary
Estuary English is a name given to the form(s) of English widely spoken
in and around London and, more generally, in the southeast of
England — along the river Thames and its estuary.
Brummie
Brummie is an accent that is spoken in in the West Midlands of
Birmingham in the United Kingdom. Those who speak with the accent
have a tendency to end sentences in a downbeat or a lower octave,
which may be interpreted as less attractive to a listener.

7. Multicultural London English (MLE)
This London-based accent, known as a sociolect, is a dialect specific to a
particular social class and predominantly heard among young people.
West Country (Southwest British)
The West Country accent can be heard in the South of England, just about
fifty miles west of London and extending to the Welsh border. Often, the
letter ‘r’ is pronounced after vowels. Instead of saying mother as ‘muthah’,
someone from the Southwest would say ‘mutherrr’.

8. Northern Irish
The Northern Irish accent is quite a beautiful one, and a strong one too. The
first thing you’ll probably notice about Northern Irish is how many letters
seem to be missing from words when people speak it. For example, ‘Northern
Irish’ would be pronounced more like ‘Nor’n Ir’sh’
Scottish
Scots roll their Rs regularly and collapse their words so that they sound
like they have been cut off in the middle. For instance, ‘cot’ instead of
‘caught’ and ‘not’ with ‘nee’. So instead of saying you ‘didn’t do anything
in Edinburgh’, it sounds more like ‘didnee do anythin’ in Ednbrah.’

9. Geordie
People from Newcastle speak the Geordie dialect, and they’re called Geordies
too. One of the biggest differences between Geordie and RP is that the ‘r’s at
the end of words aren’t pronounced, and tend to be pronounced as ‘ah’
instead. So a word like ‘sugar’ becomes ‘sug-ah’. And a word like, say, ‘Space
Centre’ becomes ‘Space Cent-ah’.
More examples
“Canny”, pronounced “CAH-ne”, meaning good, nice, true.
“Gan”, meaning to go, such as “We’re gan doon the road.”
“Doon” means down.

10. Manglish

creole principally used in Malaysia. It is heavily influenced by the dominant languages
of the country, Malay, Chinese languages, and Tamil. It is not an official language.
