British Accents: Cockney

British Accents Cockney. An accent which is based in London, traditionally a true cockney is someone born within the sound of the Bow bells. These days the London accent varies hugely, but let's take a look at a traditional cockney accent.
This series focuses on different accents from the United Kingdom. Many thanks to Paul for providing his fabulous Cockney accent.

    Immagine a little version of me working as a waitress in London. A 23yo Italian girl, who barely knew how to say "hello" and "goodbye" in English back then. Now, imagine me dealing with cockney, Irish and Scottish accents every day. Now count how many bottles I gave to my costumers instead of butter. And how many butters instead of bottles? Yeah, exactly.

    Thats funny. It is true. All my ife people often think im Australian. Except real Aussies of course. Im from London. And I speak kind of what i think its called Estuary English. I never thought about it but yes i think it is kind of midway between received pronunciation and cockney, while being neither. It makes sense because we, or I may have divided loyalties, we are neither. I am not a cockney but neither am i posh or upper class. But I still have both, a regional accent -not as original as cockney, and I also enunciate more carefully, though not as painstakingly as RP. It is more relaxed and open i think. And it allows for a wider variety of people in it. I always thought it was just me becasue i have mixed background. I never realised there is a lot of us like this make up our own accent type. Not the type i'd have chosen, not as cool as cockney but there we have it. Funny that all that should be like.., Australian.

    Pretty much all non-RP accents are criticised for 'wrong' pronunciation. There is a very good argument to say RP is actually wrong, look at the spelling of words compared to their pronunciation - the only people who actually pronounce English the way it's written tend to be well spoken Edinburgers, go figure.

A woman and her son were behind me in line and I could hear their adorable British cockney accents. The boy looked at me and said, "You're in da Air Force!" I smile and talked to them for a minute. As I was leaving, I peeled my US Flag from my shoulder and handed it to him, as a souvenir....totally made his day! (I hope he, still, has it!)

    Love all the English accents in England. It's strange how one little island has so many different accents across the world. Take where I'm from in the Southern United States for example. We sound completely different from someone up in Maine, but it's still all English. I love it. Also, one thing I noticed from watching other videos on Cockney, they typically don't say "my". Instead, they use the term "me." So, "my mother" would be "me muver." Of course, I'm not a native of England so I could be wrong about that.

    The American accents were developed when travelling around was a lot eaiser. British accents have a much older origin where people 20 miles away would barely come into contact. Because it wasn't as easy to meet people different to themselves accents diverged a lot. It's like when animals get trapped on a remote island and evolve differently, of course that takes a lot longer to happen than for an accent to change.

    That’s pretty spot on. I find with the Cockney accent, the point of resonance is in the throat. It’s at least 80% or the accent. When you talk in the back of your throat, many of the sounds you mention come out. Cheers. Love your videos

    that is untrue since the dropping of was before the english settled in the usa cause of many citations of 1700s and 1600s you can see that they don't right r in some words and also the way that new yorker or southerners pronunciation of glottal stop instead of r is different from british accent pronunciation of glottal stop

    My fiance is from East London with a mixed accent between RP and Cockney. I myself am Boston American. The Boston accent is similar to Cockney. Some drop the T in the middle of words and most everyone drops the R at the end of words. So I've found it somewhat easy to pick it up. Especially the dropping of R and T. Also replacing the TH with W or V has been easy for me.

    Thank you, by the way. It was this video and videos like this that really helped me nail the Cockney accent for my university's touring children's show production of Peter Pan. Director wanted the pirates to do Cockney, gave us some time to prepare it before rehearsals if we wanted, if not she (being the school's dialect coach) was alright with working with those that didn't. I was the only one that came in with one, and it was so thick and true to life she was the only one that understood me. Made me tone it down (several times) so that the kids could understand it. I can see her point, little American kids are not going to be able to understand a thick Cockney. Fast forward to a couple weeks ago, and I had a native English woman, I couldn't tell if she was a parent or a teacher, run up to me after the performance and ask if it was a real English accent, and was shocked I wasn't a native! She couldn't tell the difference!
