Always thought the Cardiff accent had a distinct hint of Scouse. Interesting

One of the things non Welsh people do wrong when attempting a Welsh accent is 'I haven't got a cloo'. We say 'cliw'.

I'm from Barry, 20 minutes from Cardiff and as much as I live being Welsh I do wish we had more of the beautiful Welsh accent

This is soooo interesting, I’m from Swansea and I always say the more west you go the more “sing song” our accents sound. Cardiff/newport sounds almost a bit harsher/more blunt if that makes any sense to anyone 😂 x

I’m from Swansea and this is really cool to know, even though I don’t say either of those words the way you aparently do in Swansea but I’m from Gower so my accent’s a bit of an outlier.

I don’t know if this has something to do with the fact that the letter i in Welsh acts as both a vowel and a consonant 🤔 Like the word “queue” was borrowed into Welsh as “ciw” which retains that iw sound. You can’t really have it pronounced as kyoo because it’d be spelt the same and most speakers naturally go for the iw pronunciation bc it’s fairly common (lliw, byw, rhyw)

this stuff is what I live for. little things like the pronunciation of 'toast' or 'coke' say so much about where we're from and the cultural tapestry that makes up our populations.

I’m from Newport and Our accent, Barry & Cardiff are very similar… I live down by Swansea now and people think I’m from the West Country but I have had people say scouse as well 🤣🤣🤣🏴🙌🏼

Siôn Jobbins :
the distinctive Cardiff hard 'a' is from Welsh 'a denau' - "the a" (where the a becomes something similar to an 'e'). this was a distinction of the old Welsh Gwenhwyseg dialect which was spoken Welsh in Gwent and east of Port Talbot. So "mam" (mother) was pronounced more like "mem" and "tad" (father) as "têd". similar to Welsh in Machynlleth and north Powys. This became the distinctive Cardiff a as in the pronounciation of "Cærdiff".

Interesting. I’m from Cardiff and spent years in Liverpool - the accents are very similar. Can you comment on the Newport accent?

Aberdare (valleys) accent also differentiates sounds between ‘juice’ & ‘goose’ &’brood’ & ‘brewed’. ☺️

I would love a fanfiction about a love triangle between the guadeloupe guy, Barty Hamish Montgomery and Oliver. I feel like there is a potencial story here, also they have all the side characters

Cardiff has an Irish influence rather than a Liverpool influence. The Scouse accent is a mixture of North Walian, Lancashire and Irish

JimmyWelshManc :
yes she is nearly spot on i think the juice pronunciation is almost 2 syllables in Valleys Welsh like jew-us thats the closest I can get to it. Being a valleys boy, I went to University in the 80s surrounded by English friends and I started to take a really interest in the phonetics. living in Manchester I especially notice some actual Welsh sentence constructions especially.in the North of Manchester, they my wife is from Irish heritage also and they use terms such as "after" instead of later which to me was typically Welsh.
