accents and local dialects
i was just wondering if when little ones learn to talk do they talk with an accent straight away or doesnt that come later. we live in somerset but neither me or graham were born here so we dont really have accents in particular. Phoebe doesnt either but the ocasional thing she says comes out really somerset, which is quite funny as she sounds like a farmer! freya hasnt really got one yet although she has started saying 'wheres that to?' which is so,erset and used to really confuse me when i first moved here but now find my self saying all the time!
so its a bit of a random post really i was just wondering.

However, the younger 2 boys have an international accent. All the kids here have it. Its a bit like Queens English with American thrown in. Joseph has a bit of a NE accent too when he says certain things. Amelia is too young to tell but I would say she has the International one so far with a bit of me thrown in...she says YEAH rather than YES.

Well Samuel speaks a couple of words in Welsh but that doesn't really count as it's a different language! He has got quite a sing-songy voice which is quite distinctly Welsh I guess. Plus he sometimes says "Ta!" instead of "Nan-koo" (thank-you) which is again very Welsh.
I'm similar to you Dee. I am Welsh but a lot of people think I'm English as I don't have much of an accent. Hubby has a lovely deep soothing Welsh accent though x
