27. Vary more than region, by town!
Edited on Tue Jul-31-07 07:11 PM by sg_
Each town normally has their own sort of sound or words they use more often than the next, hard for people who arent from here to catch on that they are different accents in the same region/area but there are differences between towns/villages, like in words used and way some words are said/pronounced.

The 2 villages nearest me, they each have their own sound and usually their way of pronouncing words, one is alot softer than the other for the most part even though they are barely 4 miles apart.

Countless accents really here :)


"Torrty tree ana turd" (Thirty three and a third) would be a stereotypical Irish accent I guess ;-)

"Furti free ana furd" - is the sort of way my accent is, hard to write it down as it sounds since I dont have a microphone to record it
