BCM Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 ive always enjoyed scousers inability to use the letter H at the beginning of words, and many of them even altering english grammar to accomadate the lack of consonant. actually are you meant to use 'a' or 'an' in front of words beginning with H? ive never even been sure on this. usually an a but sometimes an - as in: a hat, an hour.

Caretstik Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 if you are from a council estate in norris green or something. My Dad is from a council estate in Norris Green and neither him or his brothers (one of whom lived in that shithole til he died) ever spoke as uninintelligibly as that however pissed off they were.

Guest Coalbucket PI Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I know people from Liverpool who've been harder to understand than this guy even after years of knowing them, although the accent itself did sound a little different to this guy. One guy I'm thinking of spoke at a fucking breakneck speed all the time, entire sentences without an break between words. My old man was born in Speke and there's some subtle undertones of this sort of accent but he's largely poshed himself up these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caretstik Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Anyone who thinks Scouse is the most unintelligible English dialect has obviously never encountered the arcane drawl of Norfolk. Makes me sound almost literate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rumbo Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Fascinating stuff. Thanks for the input, I'm very interested in English dialects. I guess the most well known Liverpool accent to those outside of the UK is John Lennon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHAT ABOUT THAT? you can use both, but mostly it would be "a hotel", if you use "an" then you should not pronounce the H in hotel - "an 'otel". nobody talks like that except the French though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
