I remember someone in the comments said they sound like one of the English dialects up north. Really cool
Austin Baker
the consensus among most linguists is that most Southern dialects evolved by "slowing down" different English accents. I think that theory definitely holds water, because both English and Southern accents are pronounced using the front of the mouth. Yanklish uses the throat and the nose instead.
Andrew Powell
Supposedly Shakespearean era common English sounded a lot more like the Southern accent than anything in the UK today. I heard it was like a twangier pirate accent or something.
Gabriel Hall
it was more twangy, but it was still distinctly British. Don't listen to American we wuzzing about it. I think the closest modern equivalent would be the West Country accent in England. It's likely that is how Jefferson and Washington would have spoken.
Kevin Cook
from what i understand, rp pretty much came from the nobles all going to one speaking school in the east midlands and then everyone else copying them
Levi Mitchell
all "standardized" forms of English are cancer. I unironically admire blacks for keeping their dialects alive even if they are ooga booga tier. Black families have also kept a lot of Southern speech alive that is increasingly falling out of use with young people in the South who adopt Yanklish from TV and movies.
