Here are two clips of unusual American accents, the first is of the Tangier Islanders whose ancestors came from Devon & Cornwall over 300 years ago and their accent is probably closer to that of 17th century South West England that that of people living there today:
The second is of two "Boston Brahmin's" who sound like they've been cast by Hollywood to play two English aristocrats.
There's no point to this post, I just found it interesting.
They're the same clip. But it was good to hear it twice.
ReplyDeleteNeither seem to be there at the moment. Pity, I am indeed interested.
ReplyDeletePeter, I'll change the second video now.
ReplyDeleteWonderfulforhisage- They should be working even if I've got the wrong one for the 2nd video.
They are both working fine now. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI loved those matching western shirts. Interesting community.
