Default Abz's accent

I am not from the UK and don't recognize Abz's accent. I love it though... sounds almost like Jamaican and English combined.

I'm not English either but it seems to be the new London accent that all the cool kids use

Well, I am from the UK, and I don't recognise his accent! God help us if this is meant to be cool.

It's the accent that Ali G brought to our attention...a sort of cross between London (Cockney) and Jamaican.

It's called "Jafaiken" and it's totally invented by idiots who think it's cool to speak like a cross between a Jamaican and Cockney. It's permeating its way into London and the South East and is frankly horrible to listen to. It's totally fake, invented and put on. It's a bit like me speaking with a French accent because I thinks it's cool. It's not, just shows you're a tw@t!

Sooner Abz is out the better as I can't stand listening to him and the less coverage Jafaiken gets the better.

I can't stand the accent, it proper gets on my nerves, thing is youngsters all over the country are adopting the accent, soon there will only be one accent used so no one will know where anyone comes from LOL. I hate to think our different accents will be lost eventually, I hear so many young kids from my area of Yorkshire trying to speak this Ali G accent.

What cracks me up is when I hear young people in my local market town talking with this accent. I imagine none of them have ever had a conversation with a black person, and it comes out as a cross between Jamaican and country-fried rube.

thing is, I love to hear Jamaicans talk its just when people try to copy the accent, it just doesn't sound right and really riles me. Am I over reacting? Perhaps, but it still does my head in, I want to hear kids speaking with the accent of the place they come from. I'll shut up now because it makes me cross

I'm with you. Accents are great, I can't understand why someone would want to cultivate a fake one.

It isn't an accent. Though there are several thousand people who choose to talk like this. It makes them look cool.

I can hear his real voice every now, and then, and it's a bit geeky.

Cool

This is the real deal.....though to be fair maybe Abz may have been sourounded by people that sound like that, his girlfriend looks as though she may have black roots.......but I must admit His accent sounds a bit fake......but that's probably because his accent is a mixture.

Quote:
Multicultural London English (abbreviated MLE) is a dialect (and/or sociolect) of English that emerged in the late 20th century. It is spoken authentically by working-class, mainly young people in inner London, and some outer London areas such as Brent, Ealing, Newham, Barking and Dagenham, Haringey, and Enfield.[citation needed] However, elements of the sociolect are widely imitated throughout southern England. According to research conducted at Lancaster University, Multicultural London English is gaining territory from Cockney.
It is said to contain many elements from the languages of the Caribbean (Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago and other Commonwealth Caribbean islands), South Asia,African American English, as well as remnants of traditional Cockney. Although the colloquial name "Jafaican" implies that it's pseudo-Jamaican, researchers indicate that it isn't the language of white youth trying to imitate black, but rather that "[it is] more likely that young people have been growing up in London exposed to a mixture of second-language English and local London English and that this new variety has emerged from that mix".
