US / UK / Aussie / South African English Pronunciation Differences (Same Language, Four Accents)

welcome to the internet

WagaWaffles LOL

Agree

I think that's why I have difficulty following yank conversation, they are so different.

😂

Liiike😂😂😂😂

Nah man UK just be like colonize almost everything and they force-feed them with the English language.
Edit: BWI'ISH

HECTIC TM actually they colonise

😂😂😂

How

'Want ons is Patriots' (Afrikaans/English) Because we are patriots. I agree Carey: You should watch more of these videos she always gives such insightful answers.

She is European

@@jonny41398 And? a lot of people from south Africa are Europeans, there are even some places when there are more British people than natives

@@jonny41398 She is South African, when people live somewhere for more than 100 years, they become locals.

One person can't speak for a whole nation. Not all british, aussies and south africans say what these guys said. And this is just a video, don't take it too seriously. They were probably just messing around... I hope. It'd be stupid if they weren't. Even in their own countries they have different regions with different pronunciations, it's absurd to discuss which one is right and wrong

@@danielduarte6802 Nah tht South African lady was spot on , she even gave 2 ways we pronounce things

@@tamiavanneil8140
No, not that, I was talking about their opinions about the american pronunciation

The thing is America has tons and tons of accents so it could vary but overall
The american accent in this video is pretty common

Because u can’t hahahahah you even had to change the spelling of English words to fit your accent

It's not mocking it's the truth, American language or American English is fake

Thats because there is British English and wrong.

@@sahhull what are you saying , speak English , not American loool , if you can read proper English

@@najibtastic3597 You do know that modern "American" english historically is actually closer to the origins of the language then modern "British" english is right? Ask any historical linguist, Americans didn't change their accent when the US was founded, the British did because sounding posh became more desirable. Basically the modern American accent is the British accent from 300 years ago.

@@najibtastic3597 Except that if you follow the rules of English the pronunciation in America would be more correct on multiple words shown in this video. And lets get A Louisiannan in there and see every one get confused.

Canadians would pronounce most of the words the same as an American, as long as they spoke with a standard accent, but we pronounce Pecan like Australians do; Vase is pronounced as Vayz, it rhymes with phase; we say Zed for the letter rather than Zee; and we pronounce Pasta like the English do.

And also a New Zealander 🇳🇿 would be nice, it’s similar to Australia but it has some differences too.

@@hoathanatos6179 Canadians have varied pronunciations for many of these words. It depends on what part of the country you're from or what country of origin your family is from. Quite honestly, the same can be said for the US where there are 6 or 7 very distinct regions that have their own pronunciations.

I agree

Based Brits.

facts this is it right here

Colonized, really, not British. Same thing.

Thank you 🙌🏼

Makes me wish John was southern

@@MrJamiesilaban why? so he can frighten them ever more? 😂

And garage too

Like garage.

You pronounce "Coupé" as "coop", that word even has a fucking accent on it...

Lmao

Right they need to chill+ at the end of the day they sound best!!

Also not a language

I really love how respectful she is tho but she's doing a good job 😂

Fr she pretty much said everything the way I would except for vitamin.

Yeah I’m South African but didn’t grow up there. But everything she said was pre much how my parents would say it. Plus I live in a pretty South African area (perth, aus) and I feel like she’s representing SA well considering how long she’s been gone

Thank you very much!🇿🇦 It’s not easy haha! We all speak so differently in our lovely South Africa.

When I saw SA I thought of South Australia

Same, I kept thinking "I've heard all of those pronunciations in just my local area" 😆

Indians too

we still wouldnt know what they were saying ,

Yeah they should

a Glaswegian, a Jamaican, someone from Cork, and a Singaporean. That should put some more variety in it.

Scottland land Ireland speak British English wich should be just English because it our invention so were right

@@simonsweeney4804 ireland does not sound like english or Scotland

Same, I think I’ve seen a pecan pie in Australia maybe once in my life

So you don't even have the nuts, pecans, in Australia? If so, it's just a pie made with pecans. It isn't that difficult the understand.

@@stevez.6805 even i from australia didn't know what a pecan pie was, probs the fact that i didnt know what a pecan was or haven't seen a pecan pie ever before

Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time.
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.

Also someone from maybe Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, India..

Well then we'll also need Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish... and also all representation from each accent across the UK. Newcastle, Liverpool, Yorkshire, Lancashire, Birmingham - LETS GO.

It would be fun to bring someone in with a southern accent and then someone with a New York or Boston accent since those I feel are on the complete opposite ends of the American accent spectrum

This notion that proper English should sound like British and insisting on British pronunciation and grammar when teaching little kids should really stop.

Same in South Africa. Different demographics of people and different areas will have different accents

I mean it’s the same in all of the countries shown here. All countries have different slang/pronounciation in different regions.

It depends on the region these days. In the 1800s the US still retained the notable accents of Irish and Scottish, but this faded by the '40s. You can still hear it very much in places like North Michigan and parts of Maine however.

Maybe thats where america got its pronunciation because of all the irish immigrants.

I'm not sure about this because places where huge numbers of Irish immigrants migrated and stayed, like Boston, don't really sound much like Michigan or any Midwestern areas. Then again, cities on the east coast were still being influenced by people in England for a longer time due to both trade and observance of European fashion and trends. Some linguist wrote a book about Anerican accents, and noted that at the time if the Revolutionary War, residents from Savannah, Georgia would have sounded just like residents of New York City.

I just recently read an article about some British politician being criticized for calling her mother "mom" rather than "mum". Apparently mom is still used in certain areas of England.

I think it’s more that there is so much American TV here in Ireland. British tend to have a more elongated often posh sounding pronounciation while in Ireland we often don’t pronounce all the letters. In the area I grew up the local accent changes th to d - so mother is often pronounced like mudder

YEAH, pick n pay, haha xd

Pick what you want n pay

@Help us reach 1mil before 2021 as a south african I can never say awe as in "awwwww that's so cute" I just cant

Oh man, I love a linguist

So that's why most Americans don't like New England...

so true. the grandmother of my mom's friend was taught "the Queen's English" in the 30s on long island. new york accents have some of the same features as british english like r-dropping, the coffee vowel in a lot of words, etc. but for a while now, the rest of america has viewed the NY accent as unintelligent so it becomes less prevalent with each generation in New York.

S. Zupan we don’t like New England because there’s nothing to do there except go to Boston who wants to live in Maine or Vermont

Soo... How about cockney accent? Is it like invented after posh accent?

You make a good point.

The majority of countries in the world drive on the right side of the road. So if anything, the left-siders are wrong.The American accent is closer to the original English of 500 years ago than modern British English. As for the metric system, there are two types of countries: The kind that use the metric system... And the kind that landed men on the moon.

Agreed. We get used to languages, slang, pronunciations, measurements, foods, customs ETC., through persistent repetition over time, learning those rules and training our brains to find certain things normal/familiar. Everyone on this planet has an accent, even if we're so used to hearing our own that everything different sounds "weird" to our ears... but different doesn't mean "wrong." It's fun to hear this range of pronunciations for certain words used all over the world (yet usually written in the same way) because none of them are incorrect, even those outnumbered.

@@kattykleo8579 , not real reasoning , more like bragging ......

@@kattykleo8579 NASA uses the metric system since 2007 if I'm not wrong in the year.

Marcus Cook Hell yeah.

Especially if you bring in a Kiwi from Southland who rolls their R's.

Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time.
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
(19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..

Not really...the name was changed several times from alumium, to aluminium, to aluminum. So it's not so much pronunciation as it is what was the acceptable naming convention as alumium was the first name of it in 1808.

That isn't a word. It's a typo.

Schedule should have been used though.

*Raises hand* I do! Solidarity from Florida! :D

Here too from Ohio!

✋From NY

Same in GA.

I used to watch it as a kid in Maryland!

Not only at your school. First you learn the clearer, more understandable version of English and later the variants in German schools.

You are so right

Not when you're taught phonics in primary school and learn why those two words are supposed to sound different.

It is shorter. Can even sound shorter than what Chantelle said depending on culture.

It sounds like the way we say it in Dutch. :)

Also the end is with an 'ah' sound not 'pas-tuh'
