Can you understand these guys? https://youtu.be/45DfrwXf0bA?si=TRDQhn5-LphK3N9t
It’s because Tibetans no longer have Tibet. It’s occupied by the PRC.
Love this! Have you ever considered doing a segment on the Philadelphia accent(s)?
Mulberry Street was my guess.
no, nobody cares about philadelphia lmfaoooo
Hi Olly, you missed dominican flag🇩🇴
Right!? I came to say the same thing. The countries of the Dominican Republic and Dominica (the flag shown) as two very places.
2:45 Dude, that’s all of Manhattan. Washington Heights is a tiny part in the northern part of that.
17:19 FYI, named after Mulberry Street in Springfield, MA, his hometown, not Mulberry Street in NYC.
Unfortunately, the Seuss estate has removed the book and several others from publication due to some illustrations they deem to be “hurtful and wrong.” I think this is wrong. They may be stereotypical, but they can hardly be thought to inspire hatred. I hope they reconsider. (I’m glad to say that I have a copy.)
The Tibetans live in New York, and many other places, because the Chinese government’s army invaded in 1959, declared Tibet historically part of China (wrong), and committed ethnic cleansing by torturing, killing, and displacing Tibetans and trying to destroy Tibetan culture. So they pretty much had no choice but to flee. Most live in India, but there are many in major cities around the world too. Those who still live in historic Tibet are vastly outnumbered by ethnic Han Chinese the government has moved in there and Tibetans still live under stifling oppression. As another YouTuber says, now you know. 🙂
Boston accents
Hey Ny has a really large section
of land you can check out too . Makes me upset 😡
WOW! Thank you so much for the compelling video you share with us about the New York accents. As of today, my accent is quite predominantly Brooklynese, or what is with the General New York accent that I have ever practiced for myself when I speak at least basically fluent English, but also with variably rhotic characteristics. Though I am a Filipino by birth, I have been willing to do it the whole time no matter where I am.
Actually, the examples shown tend more to be the heaviest accents, which frankly, most people don’t have. Oh, sure, there might be traces in just about everybody’s speech, and some might have fairly noticeable local-idiomatic speech, but if you come to NYC thinking everybody’s going to sound like these people, you’ll be disappointed.
I always make fun of my friends whenever I heard their Long Island accent come out when they are getting excited, mad, or passionate about something lol
Thanks for putting in the work to make this! Very interesting with all the different influences!
Crazy thing is, what if you grew up in the Bronx where you speak one way. Go to school where there are Greeks / Jews and speak another way. Spend the weekend in Queens where there are lots of Russian and Albanian’s. Go to work in the city where you end up speaking a completely different way. You end up with more than 5 different New York accents. After a while it becomes second nature to switch between different accents and not even realize it.
Thanks for a hilarious video, I am from South Louisiana and when I visit New York some of the accents reminds. Me of the Cajun accent. Lots of words in New Orleans came from New York with Italians,Spanish and ever some from Haiti and other countries.
I developed my accent from watching more television than i had regional friendships,
In fact I’m worried that i have a weeb accent from watching too much anime ohaio gozaimasu daijobu yukata, jane, senpai, tadaima, itadashai , itadakimasu
Awesome. But the best was when YOU said “CONTRIBUTE”. LOL!!! OMG. The funny part about that was the only time I’ve heard that in America was years ago by some southern hick (poor, uneducated) kid. So I just thought it was bad English. Decades later I heard it on an official BBC documentary on the history of the English language (I still recommend that show to people, btw.) Anyways, just twists my head off. PS. I come from the “no accent, Northern California (I apologize) area”.
PS. You have an awesome show. And yes, I do understand virtually everything they said.
Wait – “bubblah” is New England/Boston!
There are a million subtle New York accents.
