Ok, i'm sure there's been a few similar threads already (so forgive me!) but i've always been really interested in accents, especially in the west midlands.
Lots of people use the black country dialect to differentiate the 2 e.g people from birmingham don't say 'yam alroite' etc. as an example, but my mom's from walsall born and bred yet she doesn't say that either or any others apart from, she will say 'her' instead of 'she' , so what is the actual difference in the
pronnunciation of words between brummies and people from the black country if there is no slang involved? is there much of a difference?
I live in south staffordshire near rugeley, so i'm all a bit confused in this - i don't come face to face with either accent everyday.
i was also wondering if anyone knows anything about the accent in cannock? to me that's a very broad accent, similar to my nan who was born in walsall, is there any difference?
sorry for all the questions, just genuinely interested
