linguistics

"Prof Paul Kerswill, a linguistics expert at the University of York, said he believed the man spoke in "multicultural London English" most commonly found in London's East End. "He probably has a foreign language background but it sounds like multicultural London English, which is people from all kinds of backgrounds who mix in the East End, a new kind of cockney," he said.Dr Claire Hardaker, a linguistics experts at Lancaster University, studied the clip and said the man's vowels marked him out as likely from the south-east of England, but most likely from London. "We're definitely looking at a British accent, from the south, and probably from London, Kent or Essex."

The study of languages is fascinating. I can easily tell a somali londoner brit from their audio.i can indentify an asian brit.madows are bit harder like defoe who sound like pure cockney but they still have a distinct accent. When I listened to the guy in this particular I thought he was an asian londoner.professor baasto.im gonna study linguistics.
