The common culture of a tribe is a sign of its inner cohesion. But tribes are vanishing from the modern world, as are all forms of traditional society. Customs, practices, festivals, rituals and beliefs have acquired a flut and half-hearted quality which reflects our nomadic and rootless existence, predicated as we are on the global air-waves.

Wow, apparently people from Norfolk sound like zombies or something.
And people from Dudley, wherever the heck that is, sound wierd.
People from Oxfordshire sound extremely posh!

Interesting find Wil... although why the hell doesn't it have the major English speaking nations? They've all got regional accents, they should have them up as well.

Nice find. An interesting project. I hope they get a voice from Solomons Island, Maryland, probably the most 'English' accent in the US (stuck on an island for a long time).

They call this war a cloud over the land. But they made the weather and then they stand in the rain and say ****, it's raining!
and heres me thinking all americans had one of 3 accents; southern, "american", or black. turns out they have like 10 gazillion, like the english. i learn something new every day!
Good Matey
I like how they have a separate accent for my hometown (San Diego, CA). I grew up with that accent, so I never noticed it. But when I was in South Africa, the chicks there were telling me that I had a sexy accent lol.

Dudley is in the west midlands and they are known by us Brummies as Yams Yams due to them using Yam instead of you and people think people from Birmigham sound like that but we don't....well some might!

Yeah well accent is stereotype. They completely missed out most of England, the origination of the language, and therefore my home (and current) residewnce isn't even nearly represented, nor is Scouse (Liverpuddlian). Grrrr...
