Incomprehensible

Over the years I have had the opportunity to visit the UK many times and on every trip I find myself baffled by the overwhelming variety of accents and dialects. Patrick Foote of Name Explain investigated why the UK, a relatively small geographical area, has so many accents. In Australia, there are only 3, but in the European part, England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, the number of different accents is enormous. How come there are so many different accents? Watch the video and you will get the answer.

  1. I knew about the regional accents before I visited the UK. It still was interesting to actually hear someone speak the accent.

  2. Loved this! The UK’s accent diversity is amazing—just like the vibrant mix you’ll find in Thamel, Kathmandu. It’s the cultural heart of Nepal and the gateway to the Everest Base Camp trek. You’ve got to come experience it!
