You know we could have been in Norfolk who would have thought it 3 hours to get t' Leeds! Ay I'm learning the lingo! :(|)
 
i'm up for a meet although travels a little awkward but can always stop at mum and dads in notts. :)
 
On the contrary, I lived to tell the tale.

When I wondered if any of you speak in the language you write, I didn't mean regional accents, they don't show up in written text! I meant the actual words you use.
Maybe I should have written "squeak" instead of "speak".
 
At least my accent is said to be the closest to old English still in existence. Correction, dialect to be strictly accurate. In case you are wondering, tough if you are not, it is Black country, under NO circumstances to be confused with a Birmingham accent.

So what accent is Black country? What does it sound like?
 
I would love to meet up if something can be arranged, not sure where id end up, driving too far out of Bottesford where we all speak so fine:(|):(|) LOL.

I love hearing people from different places speak. If my fur kids could speak id have a good old mix.

Honey B being from Leeds
Jim and Joe from Cumbria
Binky would have a geordy style accent oh bless them if only they could all talk:(|)
 
The way they speak is very important to people from the black country if Alcester posted in the way that he speaks we probably would not understand him.

They would say Yow awight meaning you alright

Its a bit Alf baerked to me!
 
I love dialect, Scousers drop their e's when we say the but in Yorkshire they are lazy they drop the h and the e!

If a spelt th way a talked den you'd be righ up ** wall kiddas! :(|)
 
Louise, you are the most Scouse-ish person I have ever heard! I really like that accent.

I have remnants of my Cornish accent, but it's really just on certain words.
 
oh this is unfair! i want to meet up but am in stinking kent! booooo!
 
Are, it's all in Ow we spake ay it? :)

Be discussing Gray Pays un Baircon soon ;)
 
This meet up sounds fun. Can I come and say hello?

And a Black Country accent is all yam yam yam mine is a proper Brummie accent no ow am you for me (SOrry AP - couldnt resist - feel free to give the brummies a dig!rolleyes)
 
NO
Weir yo cum from, ower kid? I doe spake like that down 'ere. Any road up, how bist?
Black Country inhabitants have words which are unique to the area. The Birmingham accent is precisely that, standard English words but spoken with a regional accent. There is a huge difference between the two even though B. and the B.C. are adjacent areas.

Definitely not to be confused with a Birmingham accent. I'm a Black Country girl. I'm from Halesowen.
 
I have been told I can only edit messages for five minutes after posting, it has not happened before.

To continue:
The Birmingham accent is a nasal whine whereas the Black Country accent is a warm, comfortable sound.
 
Haha Julie, Niki said Emma and I have great accents and could listen to us all day! And there was me thinking I didn't sound 'that' Scouse until I heard meself! :(|)

Peter sounds Australian! :))
 
I'm black country too although don't have much of the drawl left now!

I shall try and be at the meet up - Denises house would be perfect for it!

And I too have met AP ;)

I am not sure Halesowen, Halas Owen, qualifies for being in the B.C. it was always considered to be a posh area.
Which part of the area are you from?
 
I actually left Halesowen when I was 21 (many years ago) but I still have friends around the area. I used to live in The Longcroft, just off Huntingtree Road. You say that Halesowen isn't really Black Country, but hey Tommy Munden, the great Black Country comedian is from there.
