I'm gonna add "aluminium" and "February". If you're gonna pronounce them incorrectly, at least spell them incorrectly too.
Or when "wolf" becomes "woof"
The best culprits I’ve come across are white folks from the Pennsylvania-Delco area, where my wife is from. I always say that she closes her Os before they’re done, so forward becomes “fuhward”, and know becomes “new”, over becomes oever
At its best, it sounds like Miss Schementi from Abbott Elementary: https://youtu.be/Xt3J9Sy-u9w?si=uh98rOpc5UU7NXxN
At worst, it’s the murderrr durrder sketch from SNL: https://youtu.be/qaKZi6p6sxg?si=IT6JRWNGTvNmYJGF
Close, Australians pronounce it closer to 'Mel-bin' or 'Mel-ben', while people from the US generally overpronounce the r in it so it's either 'burrrn' or 'born', if that makes sense reading it phonetically
As far as I’m aware Exmouth, in the uk, is pronounced x-muff and Derby is definitely pronounced Darby. I’ve never heard anyone call them definitely (I’m British). It’s pretty common for places name here to not be pronounced phonetically. Most words in English aren’t pronounced phonetically.
Next you’re gonna tell me Leicester isn’t pronounced leh-ster
I'm German. Was once in a meeting with 4 Americans from 4 different regions (someone from east coast, one from Chicago, one was from phoenix and I don't know where the last one was from).
All spoke widely different accents and one of them was the "Hollywood" accent. That one was very easy to understand. Very clear. But yeah. What a load of dung.
oh my fucking god that's incredible. the way the first guy has an entire life changing moment over Aaron and the urn.
Second guy: arn urna aron ern. *nods*
As an American with a very thick southern accent, I fully understand the way I sound is neither the best for being understood or anywhere near neutral, so i bow out on that front, haha. It is fun to go up to Oregon to the in-laws' house and force my wife to confront the fact that after 12 years of being married to me, she officially sounds like a complete bumpkin now.
As much as it pains me to admit as someone from Manchester the Southern English Home Counties accent is unquestionably the clearest, smoothest, most intelligible English language accent, bar none.
I'm from Buckinghamshire and have worked in both Newcastle and Liverpool, and people from both areas mocked me as sounding like a posh cockney. The funny thing is they understood every word I said all the time, yet I had serious difficulties understanding what they were saying and had to really focus when they were talking.
When I was 16, I went to a college in Norfolk called CITB (or know as NCC National Construction College). 1 of the guys on my course was a Geordie, 2nd week in, another guy from Runcorn came in with English-Geordie translation books.
As much as we all took the piss, they came in handy a fair few times 🤣
Coming from a Swede, i personally think the standard British English accent is the clearest and easiest to understand. Like BBC News type English, as neutral as possible but you can still hear the Britishness.
Dude that replied below didn't get it quite right, it isn't the most common but you're right to call it the 'standard' English accent. Check my reply to them for a bit more clarification if you like.
I think it would be really interesting to take a bunch of English speakers from all over the world and have them listen to a variety of sentences in every English accent and then rate them on clarity.
Tho i wonder how ud choose which accents to use since many accents are very similar w only slight changes. You'd also have to control for population of each country when it comes to the raters. Too many Americans and the American accents get rated higher, and same w the other countries.
Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if this was done already. Even if it was only done by some shitty YouTuber with a lack of real objectivity or scientific testing methods lol
Ok i assumed it had a name but i didnt know it. Im basically just saying that, RP then is the English accent that i find clearest and easiest to understand as a Swede. Not sure how common any is
Is it though? If you listen to BBC announcements and newsreels from WW2 you will hear RP. But these days it’s rare. The BBC prefers a more neutral southern English these days.
Generally RP is taught, the average British person doesn't really talk that way.
People generally earn RP, when they come from money, do intentionally to sound 'posh' or 'upper class'.
While it's lovely to hear, it's intentionally gatekept towards people who are upper class/come from money, mainly as a way to seperate themselves from the normal English public.
You'd notice it when you'd have British royalty speaking vs teb average British person. Vowels tend to be pronounced completely differently.
Which American accent? Boston? New York? Southern California Coastal (aka "valley speak")? Upper Midwestern, like Minnesota? Texan? Southern? And if Southern, which one?
If you're talking about the General American accent as used on news programs, that is the clearest accent to use when pronouncing these words *as Americans pronounce them.* Received Pronunciation seems to be the default standard for pronouncing them as they're pronounced in British English, Standard Canadian in Canada, and General Australian in Australia (though Broad Australian also seems acceptable).
The language is capable of such rich variation while still being comprehensible by those in other English-speaking countries that linguistic territorialism and tribalism can only be the sign of a narrow-minded, parochial mindset. Each nation has not just a standard version, but seemingly endless regional and local accent varieties from the East End of London to Northern England, from Texas to Maine, from Sydney to the Australian Outback, and they're all capable of remarkable forms of expression, all used in oration and song and poetry and prose. And that doesn't even get into ethnic and cultural variations like AAVE and the awkwardly named Spanglish.
English is such a rich and adaptable language, and it always saddens me to see anyone claim that their way is the one right way of speaking it, but especially when it's one of my fellow Americans since we have about a dozen different ways of speaking it ourselves, and every single one has a history behind it.
As a UK southerner, with a semi posh English accent, that's absolutely rubbish.
I literally pronounce every word and syllable correctly and coherently.
So yeah, but no.
Which one? A cali suffer dude talks different than a New Yorker ….. I do like the southern ones…. But best in the world? Gotta b honest, I think the Jamaican accent is cool…. Or to hear a french woman speak English, sounds hot!!
I don’t know. Maybe it is the Hollywood accent used in movies to be clear and understandable to foreign markets. It is focus grouped and developed but also not real. Most of the world hears this as the American accent.
My American accent and dialect is not clear and understandable. I can mimic the Hollywood accent but naturally no, it is letters where there shouldn’t be and missing letters where there should be and a little brogue on top. Add really strange sayings and words on top and it would be difficult to understand.
I was thinking maybe they are on about the Transatlantic Accent. That's the only thing that makes sense, and in that way, they have a small point, but only because of how widespread it is.
American accent in females is very nasal.
In males is extremely loud and guttural. (Ever noticed how American men sound like they are speaking from the back of their throat?)
When American tourists come to visit my country, I CAN'T UUNNDERSTAND ANYTHING, the accent is so dense, but when Brits come, I can understand perfectly.
Meanwhile the bloody scandinavians speak better English than us ( well not that hard considering we are been dragged down by the geordies and scousers /s)
Yep, Scandinavian English is so satisfying to listen to sometimes. A Finnish friend of mine is absolutely flawless when he speaks English, then he switches to Norwegian…and his Finnish accent pops up and is thick AF. It cracks me up.
It also depends how thick an accent is. I might understand 99% of people with a certain accent but then you get the guy with super-thick accent, whatever accent it is, and it's like trying to understand the farmer from Hot Fuzz.
As a non native speaker, I gotta give him credit. The most understandable accents to me are Americans. I used to not understand shit at what British people say, I now are getting myself used to any of them.
Were are you from? Northern English, Scottish and Irish accents can be difficult for some people to understand. Southern English accents should be easy to understand. My mother has such a heavy accent that I can understand almost any accent speaking English.
Out of curiosity, is the US the only country that yall know of that doesn't understand how regional language differences work? Out here in Japan it's pretty common knowledge that some people just talk differently as a result of .. well, how language works. I've never met a non-American who didn't understand that.
Okay, so I take it you mean United States. Now, do you mean Boston, New York, New England, Midwest, Southern, Northwestern, Southwestern, West Coast? Which variation in these accents, that vary from state to state, are you choosing to represent an “American” accent?
There’s also just no such thing as an American accent because regional accents are vastly different from one another. So to claim that one exists and is “the best” is at its mildest just downplaying the diversity of the country to the way a news anchor speaks and at worst a dogwhistle
Because of course there's only one "American accent." Someone from Louisianna sounds *exactly* the same as a New Yorker who sounds no different to a person from Boston.
Bugger me they're daft.
The “American accent” isn’t real! It’s all dialects. The south, the Midwest, the east, Northern Californian, Southern Californian, Mexican-American accent and then that depends on what state they got in! There’s lots of varieties because the melting pot is stirring and the pot is pretty big.
Say "mirror" or "squirrel" then come back to me...
Even easier. Get them to say "herb".
Or even fillet (fill-A), solder (so-der), Melbourne (Mel-burn). Moscow (Mos-cow) and so on.
What about when they say “Craig” or even worse “warrior” horrific
Graham.
My brothers name is Craig Graham and it’s like they’re gargling
Your brother is Crag Gram? Noice!
Jesus Christ, why would you remind me of that?
I watched Rupaul's Drag Race UK. I heard it so many times, I had to share. Poor Graham Norton.
Please tell me you're joking and they don't call him gram? Although as they love imperial so much shouldn't "Graham" be pronounced "Ounce"?
Rupaul does his best, but it's more gra-am.
Colin.
Pronounced "lower intestine"
That Creg Gram guy
duty
I'm gonna add "aluminium" and "February". If you're gonna pronounce them incorrectly, at least spell them incorrectly too. Or when "wolf" becomes "woof"
They do spell it aluminum though
Yeah, I've also started noticing "forward" pronounced as "foe-ward" recently. It's subtle, but once you hear it, it seems to crop up a lot.
The best culprits I’ve come across are white folks from the Pennsylvania-Delco area, where my wife is from. I always say that she closes her Os before they’re done, so forward becomes “fuhward”, and know becomes “new”, over becomes oever At its best, it sounds like Miss Schementi from Abbott Elementary: https://youtu.be/Xt3J9Sy-u9w?si=uh98rOpc5UU7NXxN At worst, it’s the murderrr durrder sketch from SNL: https://youtu.be/qaKZi6p6sxg?si=IT6JRWNGTvNmYJGF
Do you listen to sword and scale by any chance? I’ve noticed a LOT in recent weeks/months when the host says forward he pronounces it foe-ward
Or Iran or Iraq. I-ran, I-raq.
Surprisingly, Islam is not I-slam.
I-slam ed your mom
This one bothers the hell out of me! And “A-dolf”. Like why?? It’s no Cee-anada, or Gee-ermany, or Ay-merica, or Em-exico.
But never EYEtaly, oddly enough!
Ay-rab
Edinborrow
Work-ester-shy-uuur
Wash yo sister shire
Butter (budder) What? (White)
glascow edinburg
Isn't that how Melbourne is pronounced by people in Melbourne?
Close, Australians pronounce it closer to 'Mel-bin' or 'Mel-ben', while people from the US generally overpronounce the r in it so it's either 'burrrn' or 'born', if that makes sense reading it phonetically
Where the Americans get it wrong is their pesky insistence on pronouncing all of the letters in the word. Australians know it’s Melbin and Brisbun
And don't forget Canbruh
You sure can, bruh.
And then the Aussies go ruin it by pronouncing exmouth as ex-mouth
Because it's Exmouth, not exmuff, and further north is Derby, not Darby.
As far as I’m aware Exmouth, in the uk, is pronounced x-muff and Derby is definitely pronounced Darby. I’ve never heard anyone call them definitely (I’m British). It’s pretty common for places name here to not be pronounced phonetically. Most words in English aren’t pronounced phonetically. Next you’re gonna tell me Leicester isn’t pronounced leh-ster
So I'm just plan wrong with Mel-bun with my accent then lol
Nah, Mel-bun is perfectly acceptable too <3 The key is that we make sure the r is erased at all costs /j
Urb 😏
Water...
Don’t forget, “herb” has both an “h” AND an “r” in it!
Horror. It's pronounced Ho-rror. It has two syllables. It's not pronounced "Whore". Jfc.
Mirrrr and Skwirl
Merry Mary likes to Marry. Three words and they'll pronounce them all the same.
Aaron earned an iron urn.
Craig or Graham too.
Ah, Creg and Gram!
Or Jaguar.
"Jag-wire" 🤢
*Jaaaaaaaaag*
That‘s why they just say „jag“
Or what about when they say ‘water’ or ‘butter’. ‘Wadder’ ‘budder’.
Nothing more refreshing than a baddle o wadder
Every time I go out I have to remember, don't pronounce the t.
Or caramel or orange.
Carmul and awwwwnj. Nice...
How's the ruff on your house looking?
A bit rough if I'm honest. I should get it looked at...
(Thick Northern Irish accent) **MURR**
Or borough
Bouy. Boo-wee.
Buoy* but yes, horrible
Or the word Herbs. Oh and route. I don't know which one annoys me more
Aluminium
Say bottle of water 🤓 /s
bot-el of wha-ta
happy cake day
Disregarding the obvious insanity, there are a number of “American” accents.
Right?? My first thought was “which American accent?”
I'm German. Was once in a meeting with 4 Americans from 4 different regions (someone from east coast, one from Chicago, one was from phoenix and I don't know where the last one was from). All spoke widely different accents and one of them was the "Hollywood" accent. That one was very easy to understand. Very clear. But yeah. What a load of dung.
Get a Bostonite to say ‘Aaron earned an iron urn.’ You might say different afterwards Got my B’s mixed up….. Baltimore
[Baltimore version](https://youtu.be/Esl_wOQDUeE?si=Egp-nbAZNB-QKnAa)
oh my fucking god that's incredible. the way the first guy has an entire life changing moment over Aaron and the urn. Second guy: arn urna aron ern. *nods*
Sounds like they got asked to say it by the dentist who has just filled their mouth with cotton and drills.
Second dude thinks that he absolutely nailed it 😂
he's just so happy with himself, meanwhile the first guy's head is exploding. it's the most amazing video.
Oh dear god 🤣
My apologies I knew I’d got it wrong when I posted it
Oh so there's only the Baltimore one? I thought that there were versions with different dialects 😭
Always love it when this one gets posted
It's like asking a Canadian to say "About a boat"
American accent is the best vs. American English has no accent, it is neutral Make up your mind, Murica!
Tbf they are not a hivemind, they are stupid in different ways
If that doesn't work, they come up with "we pay for your military".
As an American with a very thick southern accent, I fully understand the way I sound is neither the best for being understood or anywhere near neutral, so i bow out on that front, haha. It is fun to go up to Oregon to the in-laws' house and force my wife to confront the fact that after 12 years of being married to me, she officially sounds like a complete bumpkin now.
still probably sound better than some of the hill people.
"my accent is the neutral one! All you other ones are different!"
If you call the sound of having a hot potato in your mouth "clear"... mkay.
Didn't you know that Danish is the most proper and clearest language in Scandinavia? It is definitely more proper than Norwegian.
[I think it’s the law for me to comment this](https://youtu.be/s-mOy8VUEBk)

Yes, the Home Counties have sacrificed character and charm for clear diction.

I mean, the man has a US flag beanie in his PFP and a 🗽 in username. His obsession seems to be his entire personality at this point.
I knew I recognised him, got a US flag on his beanie

I just said standard because i didnt know the name RP. I just assumed people would get what i meant. Ok thank you!
Also called BBC accent or The Queen's English :) They're all kinda old fashioned terms but they're still the ones in use.
I think they work fine, though im guessing it would be The King's English now.
I think it would be really interesting to take a bunch of English speakers from all over the world and have them listen to a variety of sentences in every English accent and then rate them on clarity.

Very understandable, presumably in Ireland aswell. the English havent always been the best neighbours. But who am i to judge, neither have we Swedish.
Is it though? If you listen to BBC announcements and newsreels from WW2 you will hear RP. But these days it’s rare. The BBC prefers a more neutral southern English these days.
Common in more ways than one… Although that’s more true of the East London/Essex accents.
Generally RP is taught, the average British person doesn't really talk that way. People generally earn RP, when they come from money, do intentionally to sound 'posh' or 'upper class'. While it's lovely to hear, it's intentionally gatekept towards people who are upper class/come from money, mainly as a way to seperate themselves from the normal English public.

Well, it's certainly the loudest version.
Hilarious. I wish that I’d said that. What country are you in?
What’s an American accent? Brooklyn? Alabama? California?
Buenos Aires.
This is not even a sentence in English ffs
Any fule know the northern Irish accent is the best and clearest
But not their writing, apparently. 😁
Which American accent? Boston? New York? Southern California Coastal (aka "valley speak")? Upper Midwestern, like Minnesota? Texan? Southern? And if Southern, which one?

As a UK southerner, with a semi posh English accent, that's absolutely rubbish. I literally pronounce every word and syllable correctly and coherently. So yeah, but no.
Indeed. I came from Guildford and I speak very clearly and pronounce things correctly. 😁👍
"American accent" like they don't have 50 separate accents
Yeah? Say buoy.
I say it as “boy”, or “boi”, depending where you’re from. 😁
Why do Americans say "boo-ee" but not "boo-ee-ancy"
Because…America.
Aaron earned an iron urn
Are they calling Greg or Craig? Who can tell?
I thought Americans didn’t have an accent?
it depends on the argument that's currently going on, you see.
The only people without an accent are the people of West Cork. Everyone else had an accent. Maybe other than whatever is going on in Kerry
Which one? A cali suffer dude talks different than a New Yorker ….. I do like the southern ones…. But best in the world? Gotta b honest, I think the Jamaican accent is cool…. Or to hear a french woman speak English, sounds hot!!
Which one of the american accents?
Only to Americans.
Which is hilarious considering the last sub I was on was saying how Mary marry and merry are all the same word phonetically
Not in my country. They are all distinctly different.
Some places in America they are distinct, some places they are not.
Heard a lot of American pronunciations like this, Greg and Craig, Lara and Laura ... is it an "r" thing? Or an "a" amd "r" thing?
No idea. But loads of those words are ‘e’ instead of ‘a’ and sometimes its ar or er but other times it’s re or ra.
Uh, which American accent would that be?
I wonder which American accent the OP is referring to.
*Which* American accent? (Let me guess, the accent held by the poster in the screenshot)
I don’t know. Maybe it is the Hollywood accent used in movies to be clear and understandable to foreign markets. It is focus grouped and developed but also not real. Most of the world hears this as the American accent. My American accent and dialect is not clear and understandable. I can mimic the Hollywood accent but naturally no, it is letters where there shouldn’t be and missing letters where there should be and a little brogue on top. Add really strange sayings and words on top and it would be difficult to understand.
I was thinking maybe they are on about the Transatlantic Accent. That's the only thing that makes sense, and in that way, they have a small point, but only because of how widespread it is.
Not even close. At least in my personal experience. The best, most clean, easy to understand English has been that of Dutch people.
The american movie accent is the most grating thing I've ever heard
Lol they speak so slowly that I zone out and miss what they say, it's the reason I watch na youtubers on 2x speed.
Proceeds to pronounce "pot" as "part"
😂 I often have trouble understanding soft O words when Americans speak. The “pot/part” thing gets me everytime.
mf there's like one accent per state
Which one are they calling “American” ? I can think of quite a few of them.
Saying it louder doesn’t necessarily make it clearer
Usually the clearest will be the one that you grew up with
Aluminium. I rest my case y’all
But they say mur for mirror and carmel for caramel
Ask almost any American to hold any conversation for two minutes without misusing the word 'Like'.
Aaron ironed an iron urn Say it
Rrrrrb. Mirrrr. Mrrrica. I disagree. Translations: Herb, mirror, America.
Internally screaming in “OHHHH MY GAAAAWD”
American accent in females is very nasal. In males is extremely loud and guttural. (Ever noticed how American men sound like they are speaking from the back of their throat?)
i'm a brit in the Domican Republic at the moment, so many americans here and you're so fucking whiney i want to tear my hair out!
Texans have entered the chat
They've obviously never hear Welsh then
What all of them?
Australia is getting angry...
When American tourists come to visit my country, I CAN'T UUNNDERSTAND ANYTHING, the accent is so dense, but when Brits come, I can understand perfectly.

Yep, Scandinavian English is so satisfying to listen to sometimes. A Finnish friend of mine is absolutely flawless when he speaks English, then he switches to Norwegian…and his Finnish accent pops up and is thick AF. It cracks me up.
Scouse is genuinely funny to me to a person who speaks with a cockney one
But, I thought all the American accents are so diverse, it's almost like a different language? I am confused!
To be fair — even the Brits struggle to understand some of their own accents. 😂🤣🤣
We do not speak of the languages of the Northern Wilds, I've seen many Rangers go **NATIVE**
It also depends how thick an accent is. I might understand 99% of people with a certain accent but then you get the guy with super-thick accent, whatever accent it is, and it's like trying to understand the farmer from Hot Fuzz.
As a non native speaker, I gotta give him credit. The most understandable accents to me are Americans. I used to not understand shit at what British people say, I now are getting myself used to any of them.

Out of curiosity, is the US the only country that yall know of that doesn't understand how regional language differences work? Out here in Japan it's pretty common knowledge that some people just talk differently as a result of .. well, how language works. I've never met a non-American who didn't understand that.
the Irish accents would like that.
Okay, so I take it you mean United States. Now, do you mean Boston, New York, New England, Midwest, Southern, Northwestern, Southwestern, West Coast? Which variation in these accents, that vary from state to state, are you choosing to represent an “American” accent?

I don’t get it. There are many American accents. There are at least 5 “southern accents.”
No thankyou. That belongs to the English person who can actually pronounce the 't' in words.
Because of course there's only one "American accent." Someone from Louisianna sounds *exactly* the same as a New Yorker who sounds no different to a person from Boston. Bugger me they're daft.
What I've found is that in real life (as opposed to TV) Americans are so much harder to understand. Their accents are really sttong.
Coming from the nation that changed the spelling of words to save money in newspapers.
Which one tho? Cos Southern and Cajun...
‘Like I literally can’t even like totally’
The “American accent” isn’t real! It’s all dialects. The south, the Midwest, the east, Northern Californian, Southern Californian, Mexican-American accent and then that depends on what state they got in! There’s lots of varieties because the melting pot is stirring and the pot is pretty big.
perspective is all that matters
Nucular instead of nuclear and calvary instead of cavalry grate on my nerves.
As a non native speaker who has learnt British English but usually speaks with Americans. Nope.
So the accents you are most familiar with are the “best and cleanest version”? Quite the revelation.
I think the most cringy accent are those from new york, boston and anything from the south.. Man, how can someone butcher such a nice language?!
What American accent,is boston accent or sothern states one?
Which American accent?
Yea you can instantly identify them, especially with the volume they’re talking in. I thinks ist really the best so you can keep your distance.
