Alzo, how do hyu tell vich region a British person iz from by deir accent (Hy know dot hyu can, bot exactly vot iz de differences)? Hokay. Hy iz goink to let der odder bod take ofer, becawse dey iz a bit of a lingvist. Ah, yes. Interesting question. Britain has a lot of different regional accents, because there was a long period in its history when most people stayed put. While there were always some people who travelled, most people never went more than a few miles from their home town or village in their life, giving a chance for distinctive accents to form. In George Bernard Shaw's play Pygmalion, Professor Higgins claims to be able to tell exactly what street a Londoner grew up in from their accent. Because people are more mobile these days, he couldn't do that now; but at the time the play was written, that was probably not an exaggeration. There is a broad north-south dividing line, to begin with. If you were born north of it, you probably pronounce the a in "bath" (and sometimes even "father") like the a in "hat". If you were born south of it, you are more likely to pronounce it like the a in "jar". Close to that line, but not absolutely identical with it, there is another north-south divider which does the same thing with the letter "u". North of it, you pronounce "plush" to rhyme with "push" (unless you're my friend Martin in Wigan, in which case you pronounce "push" to rhyme with "plush"; I've never met anyone else who does that), and south of it you pronounce "plush" with a "u" sound that is not actually very far off an "a". I'm reminded here of the story of the judge who'd forgotten an important document pertaining to a case. "Fax it up, sir," suggested a helpful solicitor. The judge shook his head sadly. "Yes, I'm afraid it does, rather," he replied. Then there's the business of whether or not you pronounce the R in words like "work" and "jar". Most British people don't, but some do, particularly in the south-west; if you find a British person whose speech is strongly rhotic (that is to say, pronouncing these Rs), they are probably from the Wiltshire/Hampshire area or west of there. Those are the most basic lines, as it were, but there are innumerable others, and they don't always fall where you'd expect. Carlisle is in northern Cumbria, but the Carlisle accent is not much like any other Cumbrian accent. There's a line of similar accents all along Hadrian's Wall, so the Carlisle accent sounds more like a Tyneside accent than old Cumberland. I don't want this to turn into a linguistics textbook, and in any case the Jäger is threatening to go and eat the rest of my cranberry and orange biscuits if I don't shut up soon; so if anyone wants any more, by all means message me. Dere. Hy iz beck. Vow, dey do go on, don't dey? Good job hy knows a goot threat. Dey luff deir biscuits!

Hy agree vith efferytink here. Howeffer, I didn't use accent, given dot accent is a largely Auditory tink, but hy can look at de Regional Syntax. De use of Gob for mouth makes me think of de song 'The Lambton Worm' vich as a line dot goes 'Whisht! Lads, had yer gobs' and ratbag also just has the familiar Sunderland feel to it
