"The depths of Suffolk"! FFS, hilarious.

I moved from Cambridge to Norwich 7 years ago and I really don't like the norfolk accent.

There are a lot of Australian vowel sounds in this.

Not as strong as norfolk

Ive still got my Norfolk accent depending on who im talking with. When im at Kings Lynn football with the older generations like me dad and uncle etc who are all 60+ is when it really kicks in 😂

Norfolk is the best.

My grandad, who died before I was born, was from Ipswich. I love to hear how he probably sounded ❤

It’s remarkable how similar the accent is to deep Arkansas or Appalachia.

It used to make me chuckle when I was younger, when an older relative would say do he? Instead of does he.

2:43-2:50-3:05

I can't bear to think of what we've lost.

Them days ah gawn. And now those days are gone too.

Lydger for sock garters is a pretty cool word.

Grandmother was a Nethersall, from Lowestoft. From boatbuilders.

Reminded me of the 2 Ronnies!

i live in Norfolk and I've never heard anyone talk like this around here lol

They sound more Australian than American.

The Suffolk accent sounds really American, also if anyone has ever heard olly murs speak you would think he was Australian but he’s actually from Essex’s

I grew up in Suffolk in the 80s and listening to these fellas is just wonderful. My mum occasionally comes out with East Anglian dialect, although she's from Norwich (Naarruch) so it's a little different in subtle ways. Very nostalgic and a little sad that this kind of community in the pubs is gone. My dad remembered going to the pub when we moved villages in around 1986 (the pub opened when the first person knocked on the door in the evening) and being greeted with stares of distrust, not being from the village. He was served, but it took a few weeks of returning before he was considered one of the locals.

I was born and raised in Lowestoft. My uncles and aunts (now all in their late 70s) all have a very strong Norfolk/Suffolk accent. I can slip back into it too anytime I want. Even though I've lived in Australia for 51 years. I will return one day soon to live my last days out in my beautiful home town. I miss it so much.

🤦‍♂️ lijahs' as in Elijah fra the Good Book. Its just a hard J, can't the spell together?

This absolutely made my day. I said the word pumpkin, to someone the other day, and they (not from Suffolk), said cor! I can really hear your Suffolk accent when you say pumpkin… I was so proud. :)

lol, he just wanted to be near a warm cow when it was cold out

"Them days are gone, boy. They're all gone."

G'day. A similar accent can be heard in some parts of Australia, albeit in older Australians.

That's great that you have posted this, but please don't think that this covers the whole of East Anglia. What you have here is one version, I reckon around Sudbury to Saxmundham; every part has its variations. I am from North East Suffolk and sound more like they do in South East Norfolk. West Suffolk is quite different, as is North West Norfolk. That's true it is all being diluted now because of films and telly, as well as townies moving in.

I’m commenting here instead of the Yorkshire accent video, because i just wanted to remark how close the dialect words he said at the end are extremely similar to modern Norwegian, and especialy many dialects of Norwegian!

Weird hearing some intonations similar to American accents.

The root of the problem is jobs going outside the local population - corporatisation. Some jobs should have been (still can be) earmarked for local population alone.

Also that’s the Blaxhall Ship which is not in the Fens but near Orford on the East Coast

My Granda is the chap dancing and step dancing. Often get told my accent sounds Australian

This has to be where the Australian accent came from!

There’s dialect, there’s accent, and then there’s inbreeding.

Newfoundland anyone ?

South African accent definitely originated from here

Transport, immigration and the struggle to buy houses in their own towns/villages is the issue

Looks wonderful!

Rum ole bois!

I was born on the Essex marshes in 1979, and in my early years, most people in the area spoke with a Suffolk dialect, and we often visited family and friends in Suffolk and Norfolk, who mainly spoke with this recognisable east Anglian twang. I now live in Norfolk and work in Suffolk and unfortunately hardly ever come across anyone with such dialect, it has been replaced by what I can only describe as a west Essex / Middlesex dialect. It’s the same in the West Country which seems very sad that old England is losing it’s regional dialects.. I’m not sure how you go about protecting a dialect, but feel that schools should teach about local history, traditions and dialect?

Any east anglians or even eastern english natives in the comment section? How rare or common is it to have had family in the region for generations? Obviously recently external migration has been high, but what about internal?

I've found out what the word "Lydger" meant! it was an alternative name for a 'Bowyang' which is a bit of cord or strap that a worker would wear around the lower leg in order to squat or bend without one's trousers falling down it was actually referred to as an elijah, which makes the subtitles slightly off in this film, the defenition is given: 'String tied around labourer’s trousers, just below the knee.'

I miss England and English people. It is a shame that they are getting replaced.

Thank you.... Very nice indeed

I have a distant 18th century ancestor named Robert Copping who I discovered was born in Worlington, Suffolk

Next level musicianship bravo 👏

Sounds a lot like Broad Australian from 50 years ago

The subtitles are a major cheat code! I finally get the rhythm and inflection patterns. It also helped to hear the accent in natural dialogue. It’s rare to hear it in movies or tv shows. When you do, it’s only one weirdo character like a creepy groundskeeper who speaks a few lines of gibberish and disappears.

0:30 anyone know the name of this accordion song?

My mother was born in kings Lynn and when ever she “goes home” it takes her a day or so and she’s back to her old not midland accent

A) Duh (as in, not debatable). B) What does this discredit exactly? C) "I've never experienced the God of the universe, so I must by all means prove He doesn't exist.
