Accents of English
 
 

To those of you who want to hear authentic accents of English spoken in the United Kingdom, (as opposed to imitators of accents on video), here is a website of the British Library, showing a map of each area of the UK, with audio recordings and script of normal speech in that area.  Choose your favourite area.

Wow! Thank you! Very interesting!
People abroad think there is a standard British pronunciation in the Uk all over the country,
�The Brits pronounce it like that.... �, etc...in fact the picture is very different! Thanks for the thread, it �s very demonstrative.
