🏭 Brummie Accent Test: How Good Is Your Brummie Accent?
Brummie is flat and drawn out, with a falling tune and vowels pushed into new shapes. It sounds relaxed, low and slightly downbeat.

How to do a Brummie accent
- Turn 'I' into 'oi': 'noice', 'toime', 'Oi'm off'.
- Turn 'ay' into 'eye': 'toddy' for today, 'mite' for mate.
- Let each phrase fall at the end, with little rise or excitement.
- Keep the mouth loose and the jaw low, letting vowels drag slightly.
The most common mistake
Making it too lively; Brummie stays flat and drawn out rather than bouncy.

“Oi'll put the kettle on, bab, it's toime for a brew.”
