The Story of COCKNEY the (London) Accent and its People
Переглядів 169,717
День томуWhat is a cockney? who is a cockney? Where does it come from? Why does it sound as it does? We'll answer these questions. We'll look at immigration into London (especially the East End) and see how it's shaped the accent. We'll look at famous "cockneys". Where do they come from are they really cockneys? And more.... This is a thorough investigation into the London accent and the cockney subculture.
Before watching this video make sure you watch part 1 which explains how to speak Cockney.

Dear author, do not take provocations and insults to heart. A small bunch of angry people are not worthy of this. They seem to project their personal failures onto those around them. Most people appreciate your hard work and efforts. Your videos are very informative and useful for me personally and for most people. You can highlight the essence and explain it clearly and interestingly. That's a great rarity. A huge number of likes confirm my words. It doesn't matter how a person looks, but what matters is what he does. And you help a lot of people. We appreciate and look forward to your videos. Greetings from Russia.

I'm a Cockney through and through originally born in Bow and can trace my family back to and East End triangle over 500 years. I was always told you are only a true Cockney if you are born in the sound of Bow bells. The nursery song Oranges and Lemons is the most fantastic way to learn the names of the areas of East London. Victoria Park is one of the best parks to visit.I miss this genuine accent so much!

I was born just off London Bridge at Guys Hospital, that makes me a Cockney being born within sound of Bow Bells. My mum grew up in Southwark and my Dad's family owned a chip shop in the east end. I was raised in Essex but have always had an affinity and fascination with London and it's vast history. It's just a shame the accent is dying out now, it's one of a kind

Dear Gideon: I am a student of the English language since I was in elementary school in Pakistan. My parents enrolled me in the best possible school in Karachi, Pakistan, which led me to do my BA honours in the English literature. Wanted to become a linguist as I LOVE the origins of words. I do have a dictionary which tells me the origin/root of the word. LOVE your channel. You are doing an amazing job. By the way, the English language does not belong to the British people only, it is an international language. Keep up the great work!
@damienstarshine9095 Рік тому
I really Love the origins of words. Also pondering on similar words, how and why they originated. It Can tell so much about the people of that language, their culture, history. So much is hidden in the mysteries of a language.

This has been one of the most educational videos I've ever watched--not only on this channel, but in general! Steeped in local history, it really stands out among the many Cockney-themed uploads on UKposts. Now that I've learned about the exceptional linguistic diversity of London, I can also see where some of the less favorable commenters get the skewed idea that no one speaks English there anymore. Thank you for creating such excellent content.

Being from Loughton (Essex) , I have a favourite sentence to demonstrate the extremes of my Estuary/Cockney accent, which is “I’m gaan daan Laa’un” or to translate “I’m going to Loughton”. In Loughton we tend to switch between standard English and more cockney dialect depending on who we speak to, but only older people use rhyming slang these days.
@aquarius4953 3 роки тому
I don't know if only older people use rhyming slang . It may be the case in the South like Essex but it seems a lot of youngsters in the North of England like to use it .

I discovered your videos around 4 hours ago, around 2 am during one of my insomnia moments. I’ve enjoyed several of your videos. I have always been curious about the Cockney accent. I’m in the USA but watch a lot of British shows and movies, and the accent pops up quite a bit. Even in many of the video games I play, mainly RPG, I hear it as well. I enjoyed this video man. It makes sense, language seems to never be at a standstill, but always evolving. Glad I found your channel and I did subscribe. Take care man.
@dbeckett3853 3 роки тому
Thank you for the time and research you put into this video. As the only American person in my family, I always wondered why my mother's family was always so ashamed to be from the "East End" of London and growing up my mother always scolded me for asking my grandparents, aunts/uncles about their life growing up in London as being born and living in the East End was this big family secret. Your video addressed this issue and helped me understand a bit how this accent and birthplace might affect your ability to earn a living. As both sides of our family had different English accents (my father's family is from Lancashire/West Yorkshire), when we would travel for family gatherings it always seemed a melting pot of accents when you think England isn't that large of a country! Your video certainly provided me with important insights to the type living conditions they endured and possibly why my ancestors decided to emigrate to Canada. Interestingly, my grandparents, aunts/uncles never lost their London accents living in Canada for most of their lives. Two years ago I spent a week in London just tracing street addresses where they lived - some streets no longer existed and when you look at this area today, I assume it's far from the living conditions they endured. Thanks again and please continue doing these videos!

@D Beckett When you say "American", shouldn't you have said "North American"? Having a British accent in Ontario has a "snob" value so that's why British people of all sorts don't try to lose it. I find this brou-ha-ha over Prince Harry's book, Spare so amazing. It certainly shows the zenophobia of the Royal Family, doesn't it? The Royal Family seems very unwilling to change and Prince Harry and Meghan insist they do. Good for them.

The most cockney accent I ever 'heard was this beautiful south asian lady selling portraits of sikh gurus. I'm a Canadian who lives in Vancouver, by the way. Well..as soon I began inquiring about prices, she breaks into this raspy East London accent...I was gobsmacked, I was! I then asked her where she was from, Oh, East London, love! We had a nice chat, after that and I got my picture of Guru Gobind Singh....Cheers! P.S. this was a wonderful video on the accent and history of the Cockneys. I think my favorite individual, though there's so many famous lives, was the great poet William Blake.

I also enjoyed your two videos about Cockney very much! People should realise that the UK is a very multicultural place and that British people born on the island can have ancestors from different regions of the world! I, for example, am Slovak but my grandfather came from Iraq. Does it mean I am an Iraqi? Hell no! I do not know a single word of Arabic and the culture seems very distant to me, all I know is Slovak and other European languages that I have learnt so far :)

Thanks for this great video. Your historical synopsis of the cultural history of the East End reminds me of my time studying history with William J. Fishman at the University of London back in 2000. As a cockney and the son of Jewish immigrants to East London, he really got me interested in the fascinating history of that area.
@LetThemTalkTV 3 роки тому
We have something in common. My grandparents were Jewish East-End immigrants. Though they took the 'North-West passage' as life improved. Doing the research on the history of the East End was really fascinating.

@@LetThemTalkTV So much fascinating detail, so many deep insights. Muchos Kudos ;-) I was struck by your (seemingly plausible) flagging the commonality of "innit", as a generic termination for a question, with Indian subcontinent usages: Punjabi etc. You will of course be well aware that the same construction occurs in French, with "n'est-ce pas" -- but obviously that's not pertinent to the likely influences on present day Cockney, I only raise it as a slightly interesting aside.

Actually, Dante's verse (Inferno, III, v. 51) reads : Non ragioniam di lor, ma guarda e passa (Let's not talk about them, but look and pass over). The meaning is basically the same, of course, still I don't get why people always report it that way (non ti curar): Dante never wrote it.

Yep, NooYawk has Brooklynese, Queensish, and Lowah East Side Yiddish. Manhattan doesn’t have an accent per se. The Bronx accent is Latino these days. I think of Bradley Cooper’s Rocket Raccoon as being the quintessential “New York accent” though it’s really Brooklynese. I come from Long Island and have smoothed mine over the years, but Cooper’s Rocket accent is hilarious to me and just perfect.
