Brum Native. Tiny bit exaggerated by Jon but only just a little. The Black country accent gets stronger in the North West and then transforms into something almost like Old English in places. Some will say instead of 'yes' will say 'yay'

It's way too exaggerated. The Brummie accent is much more subtle than this parody. It's much more dulcet in its delivery. Commentators are using terms like "theatrical", "exaggerated" and "comedy" because they are experiencing the accent being ridiculed.

You could have included J. R. R. Tolkien among your famous Brummies. He spent his early years in Sarehole and then Rednal. The old mill at Sarehole is preserved partly because it was the inspiration for the mill run by the Sandyman family in Hobbiton. After his mother died he lived in a rented room in a house in Edgbaston, and then was sent to King Edward's School. Not that you'd hear a Brummie accent from him. It was much later by the time any recordings were made of his voice, and he had acquired an Oxford Don accent.

Boen an bred Brummie . One of the few left . Never confuse Black Country /Dudley with a Brummie accent . 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👍

It is simply "how am ya" as black country folk replace are with am... for example "we am coming" or "you am alright" or "what am we having for tay?" Brummies do NOT speak like this so Black Country and Brummie accents absolutely are very different indeed. There are many more unique words spoken by black country folk such as "ay" instead of "aren't", "cor" instead of "can't", "woe" instead of "won't" and "doh" instead of "don't". We say "wore" instead of "weren't" and say "day" instead of "didn't". We also pronounce "going" as "gewing" so not only is the Brummie accent different to Black Country the dialect has vast differences too. "Anyway i cor be bothered to type much more an' i doh want this comment to be mossive, i ay had any tay yet an' i wow be gerrin' any kip at this rate...

It's not the Birmingham accent. It's a parody of it; a comedic exaggeration. It's embarrassing actually

I think that from a phonetic point of view, Brummie is closer to what vowels used to sound before the Great Vowels Shift

Thanks for the video. As a non native who has lived in the West Midlands for over 20 years I have come to the conclusion that there is no such thing as a single Brummie accent but rather it's an accent spectrum across the city with peculiar features in different districts. Don't ask a Brummie to do a Brummie accent because they nearly always over do it. I think there are subtle differences and it's best hearing folk speak naturally. I am sure folk in Northfield /Kings Norton - south and West areas etc sound different to folk from the East side. The Black Country dialects are the same. I believe there are specific speech features in every part of the Black Country, IE . Areas and towns like Dudley and Gornalwood. Ask a person from the Black Country. Both Black Country and Birmingham accents are non rhotic but folk from places west and South of the region like Worcestershire roll the R at the end of a word. Just listen to the announcements on the West Midlands trains. You can pick these features up. That's been my observation. But I could be wrong. Cheers, Gideon for the engaging style and presentation.

In America, we only know two types of english accents, the fancy nice one and then chimney sweep.

I love your videos, espacially about accents :-) Maybe it's harder with scottish or irish accents, but they all stay so wonderful understandable. Here in Germany you might get in serious problems in understanding some accents, even as native speaker. I was born in Heidelberg and raised in the region called Odenwald. I never really learned 'Odenwälderisch' because I grew up only with 'Hochdeutsch' (what is the äquivalent to RP) , and so I stood sometimes between my Granny and her sister. listened to what they were talking, and understood absolutly nothing ... :-) So, please go on and let us learn :-)

Solihull has a 'B' postcode just as Oldbury & Halesowen, therefore they are geographically classed as being in Birmingham. Next you'll be stating Sutton Coldfield is a 'posh borough' along with Streetly and Four Oaks, which also have 'B' postcodes. Your claim would therefore insinuate that 'boroughs' have no distinct post code. "Bostin" is not a dialect used by 90% of South Brummies, in fact it is one attributed to the Black Country dialect, which actually has it's own language from years ago. BTW, Solihull town centre is just as bad as any other, even the McDonald's has bouncers on the door of a Saturday evening and possibly even more regularly now?

Well 'we' don't have just one accent though.

I don't like the way the broader population speaks now. I think it's rough and sounds very uninspiring. In my youth there were many Aussie accents and like Britain, where one was raised was identifiable by ones accent. Now it is very hard to find anyone speaking that more "refined" English.

Salut, Giddeon, as a bad standard English speaker trying to speak his best English( I'm French soRRy), my aim to pretend to be a real English speaker, that no one could think I'm French , would be to master in a perfect way the Yorkshire accent. The day I will succeed, so I'll realise my perfect wish to be a fluently English speaker😊! So far I say 'about', now , I'm saying abôôt, as Yorkshire people. This is just a start. But next time I'll fly to an English spoken country, I want to hear from customer officers: 'wooh! you are from Yorkshire'( or Aussie, or New Zealand?'! (would people say Waooh , you are from Yorshire, well, not so sure, even if Yorkshire is certainly worth to visit). Joke apart, Gideon, I hate airport English', that's the reason I love your videos. My English is quite standard English spoken by a French. But I enjoy to learn , or mostly know all these different English accents, lively language...not airport language. The main problem for Latin languages speakers is the sounds , diphtongues, and stress accent , to speak English without accent . Funny interesting thing: English use many franco-normand words. It is said that it's easier for English to understand middle-aged 'roman' as 'La Chanson de Roland', than French speaking people. In La chanson de Roland', this old middle aged 'novel', this old French uses words, now forgotten in France, but that you still use. For example, if a native speaking English reads this verb' remembrer'(from La chanson de Roland ) , he could understand the verb 'remembrer'. He would understand 'to remember'. No French could understand that verb. Just funny. English is certainly , according to linguists, the less farther indo-european language, a so mixed, and so strange....70 %latin words used with no subtitles (I'm not sure abôôt 70)...mixed with Anglo-Saxon words. Just funny and so pleasant to learn. Well...to sum up, Gideon, I enjoy a lot your videos, I enjoy languages too. You learn me a lot about accents and diversities (oops, latin word!) about English . Is that right Churchill said: ' English is the easiest language to speak poorly'. As about me I love English , it's a window through the word. Comme on dit en France, à plus! Thanks a lot for your videos! Sorry for my very personnal English...As I say to my Russian friends, I created my OWN English, not really Oxfordproof.

I think it's the intonation that makes me immediately go 'Brummie!'. Then you realise that some sounds are similar to Cockney, some others to Northern English and so on. But the melody is unique.

Brummie is an accent, whereas Black Country is a dialect, and varies from town to town (or city, if you count Wolverhampton). The Black Country dialect has retained lots of its West Saxon origins, such as "bis" for "are" (Ow bis yam?) and Old English vowels (the Great Vowel Shift) never happened in the Black Country. Brummie is much more subtle than the person attempting to do a Brummie accent; coming from Solihull, he won't have had a pronounced Brummie accent as it's regarded as one of the "posher" suburbs, where the accent wasn't as pronounced. I'm originally from Aston, same place as Ozzy and the rest of Black Sabbath, and I don't recall my mother, or my maternal grandfather, ever saying "bostin," even though he called a dustbin a "miskin" and the outhouse was a "brewins." Bostin is a Black Country expression. And don't even get me started on Peaky Blinders, those aren't Brummie accents, I know Cillian Murphy is an excellent actor, but that accent is painful.

The word "to be" is declined thus: Ar bin, yow bin, er/he bist: we bin, yow bin, they bin. Never "ow bis yam"? it's "ow bin yer?". To which the answer is "arm gud tar".
