Born in bristol, came to western super mare since I was 2. Still live there and quite often go to the countryside on days out. I hadn't realised I had anytging West Country like accent. When I said "Y'alright?" to my mate and he didn't know what I said. He said I pronounced it like "Y'iryai'?" With the hardest r mixed with a y sound

I found that accent easier to understand and less alloying than the one on the guy to the left to be honest 🤷‍♂️

Because people move around a lot these days, and in certain professions we are STILL expected to use RP if we want a quality career, we are gradually losing regional accents. I am originally from Somerset, now living in Lancashire. If I used my Somerset accent up here, nobody, either at work or socially, would understand me.

I'm a 12th generation American Babson. My 9th Great Isabel and son James are whom all Babsons descend unless otherwise the name adopted. I understood fine. I realized I copied Davy Jones accidentally as a child and Mom told me to stop it I wasn't British then she had a fellow teacher arrive to Florida from Manchester and told me I sounded just like her. However, since then, over time I've easily mirrored accents of family both north and south America. I realized it may be more slippage into an Irish or Wales accent leftovers when I talk fast and why given a hard time and can be PA Dutch influences ascwell from Mom's side. But 60 to 80 people over my lifetime have been sincere in trying to place my accent ask me if I ever lived in England. Mom was from State College, PA. Dad from the Carolinas as many Babsons descend from my 3rd great who shipwrecked and remarried there. I'm here because curious if pronouncing son in Babson changes when I practice singing a skit for national Babson reunion versus slowly say it is a combination type "suen" or "sen" to if slow speech of son when spell name to people. Babson must've changed name as despite their son Richard had children when moved back to England in 1600s no trace was found of Thomas and Isabel (no known maiden surname) Babson. All there is, is hints of first names of their parents. I just don't think they were a new family to Somerset in 1600s, but Isabel was 57 to 60 years old in 1637 when cane to America and arrived in Salem then pioneer of Rockport/Gloucester, MA. Anyone knows let ne know.

Very annoying. The inference being that this is an example of proper English. The old Somerset accent is closer to how Shakespeare would have sounded than that awfully clipped and contrived sounding RP.
