 Hi!

How many accents are there

in English, and what are
they?

Cockney- This English accent is probably the most iconic of them all and one that is
instantly recognizable.

Scottish-Some defining features of the Scottish accent is that any r’s are generally rolled
and vowel sounds are elongated
Welsh- With almost 30% of the population of Wales
speaking Welsh, their dialect of English is naturally heavily
influenced by the Welsh language.

Northern Irish- There are lots of definitive words and

phrases that make the Northern Irish dialect so distinctive
such as the words “wee” meaning “small” (like in Scottish as
well), and “lassie” meaning “young girl.”
