A system of vowels otherwise vaguely reminiscent of Australian 
accents, with short i in kit sometimes verging toward IPA kit (“keet”) and 
extremely open “loose” dipthongs. 
A variety of unusual vocabulary: some East Midlands dialects still 
feature a variant of the word “thou!” 
Speech samples: 
Geezer Butler of Black Sabbath 
Northern England English 
These are the accents and dialect spoken north of the midlands, in cities 
like Manchester, Leeds, and Liverpool. Related accents also found in rural 
Yorkshire, although there are some unique dialect features there that I won’t 
get into now. 
Features: 
The foot-stut merger: (see the Midlands description above). 
Non-rhoticity, except in some rural areas. 
The dipthong in words like kite and ride is lengthened so that kite can 
become something like IPA ka:ɪt (i.e. it sounds a bit like “kaaaait”) 
Unique vocab includes use of the word mam to mean mother, similar to 
Irish English. 
Speech Samples: 
Bernard Sumner, of New Order 
Actor/comedian Craig Charles 
Singer Joe Cocker 
Geordie 
Geordie usually refers to both the people and dialect of Newcastle-
Upon-Tyne, in Northeast England. The word may also refer to accents and 
dialects in Northeast England in general. I would classify this as a separate 
region from the rest of Northern England because it’s so radically different 

from the language spoken in nearby cities. 
Features 
The foot-stut merger(see the Midlands description above). 
Non-rhoticity (in the cities at least) 
The /ai/ dipthong in kite is raised to IPA ɛɪ, so it sounds a bit more like 
American or Standard British “kate.” 
The /au/ dipthong in “about” is pronounced IPA u: (that is, “oo”) in 
strong dialects. Hence bout can sound like “boot.” 
Speech Samples: 
Singer Cheryl Cole 
This video gives a good idea of the “classic” Geordie accent” 
Welsh English 
This refers to the accents and dialects spoken in the country of Wales. 
The speech of this region is heavily influenced by the Welsh language, which 
remained more widely spoken in modern times than the other Celtic 
languages. 
Features: 
Usually non-rhotic. 
English is generally modelled after Received Pronunciation or related 
accents, but with many holdovers from the Welsh language. 
Syllables tend to be very evenly stressed, and the prosody of the accent 
is often very “musical”. 
The letter r is often trilled or tapped. 
Some dialect words imported from the Welsh language. 
Speech Samples: 
Singer Tom Jones 
Actor Rhys Ifans 
Rocker Gruff Rhy (Cardiff Accent) 
Scottish English

This is the broad definition used to describe English as it is spoken in 
the country of Scotland. Note that Scottish English is different than Scots, a 
language derived from Northumbrian Old English that is spoken in Scotland 
as well. That being said, Scots has a strong influence on how English in 
Scotland is spoken. 
Features: 
Rhotic, with trilled or tapped r’s. 
Glottal stopping of the letter t when in between vowels (similar to 
Cockney and related accents). 
Monopthongal pronounciations of the /ei/ and /ou/ dipthongs, so that 
that face becomes IPA fe:s and goat becomes IPA go:t. 
Speech Samples: 
Actor Peter Mullan (Glasgow) 
Actor Ewen Bremner (Edinburgh) 
Conclusion 
This list is woefully incomplete. I can’t count the smaller dialect areas 
that aren’t covered here (East Anglia, Urban Cardiff, Cornish English, 
Northumberland, etc.) However, I’ve attempted to list the accents and dialects 
you’ll see referenced the most on this blog and elsewhere.
