East Anglian accent

The East Anglian Accent is the name generally given to the group of English accents used by the majority of people in the rural eastern part of England, popularly known as East Anglia. This is the region centred on the counties of Norfolk, Suffolk, parts of Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire and Essex.

The characteristic features of the accent of the region include

  • A slower, drawling manner of speech, with lengthened vowel sounds.
  • "beautiful" pronounced as "bootiful", "huge" as "hooj", and so on (see yod-dropping)
  • "eye" and "I" are pronounced "oy", "right" is "royt", and so on
  • high intonation throughout most of a sentence
