The Traditional Sussex Accent - Everything you need to know tutorial

Amazing! I'm living here in Crawley. Would like to watch more videos of west sussex

I come from worthing

I’m form Hastings East Sussex

just a suggestion.... I recommend toning down the animations and behaviors a tad. At some point they begin to get distracting. It's like making every other word bold, italics or underlined.

I was from Ore close to Three Oakes and my great uncle was total fluent in Sussex and family gatherings sounded more like the Wurzles than the middle class family of my father’s side so very mixed which still lingers in some of my words but as you say practically died out.

I live in Chichester, the county town of West Sussex. Folk born and bred here always pronounce it as 'Chiddester'.

From lewes but but a nice part unfortunately

Lewes is rough in the estates

From Lewes but not a nice part of the town unfortunately

We say Brigh'on though. No T.

Sussex Rep!!! I used to live in maresfield and some people genuinely had the traditional sussex accent!! I wish I was more distinct :(

My family were from Sussex, the older generations would speak with drawn out r’s which sounded very rural and nice!

Probably not many people with the accent anymore!

I'm from East Sussex, and people say I have a Sussex accent, but several of my friends have a much broader accent than me. I can understand them easily, and sometimes I translate.

In Sussex an adder is called a viper!

Being born in Brighton, you don't hear obvious examples of a traditional Sussex accent but it's definitely still in there. I can tell a brightonian speaking a mile off compared to someone from London for example.

The narrator has a very odd stilted delivery and I found that hard to follow. Unless this video wa designed for primary school kids?

Why don't you put more videos on East Sussex or Brighton pronunciation ???

Sorry, but most of this is a little inaccurate. Based on how I have heard older people speak round where I live in Sussex, the general rules here do indeed apply but the pronunciation in this video is more often off than correct

I feel fortunate to have spoken at length with an elderly man in his 90s who lived his whole life in West Chiltington.... I wish I had recorded his conversations

I was born in Cuckfield, West Sussex and it used to be spelt Kukefield and Ansty was spelt Anstye

That’s a city not a town

I'm so flippin immature...

Its pronounced Brigh -Ton no it isnt we dont say the T like other old southern accents.

D and T is interchangeable like old spellings of Deutchland is spelt Teutchland. Same as low german Dag instead of Tag (day)

So! nicd😊
you Nice guy

My family is originally from Sussex. We left for America in 1640. I'm sure the English language in Sussex back then was very different.

It is equivalent to Portuguese from northeastern Brazil

Thank you for your video. It was quite educating. But is Sussex accent regarded as Estuary or RP accent?

Next up a videon the Hampshire county accents!
