| I apologise is this post breaks any sort of rules and regulations. Feel free to delete if it does.
Basically, I'm currently studying at the University of Salford and as part of my final year assessment, we're carrying out a project on the Salford accent.
A bit of a stab in the dark, but i was wondering if any of you would have a maybe an hour and a half of your time to spare to either pop down to the university, or if its more convenient for you, allow me to pop round just to record half an hour of dialogue between you and a mate/partner/child (over 18 of course). Jaffacakes will be provided!
I understand its a lot to ask with people working and having other commitments but it would really help me out. The only requirements are that you are over 18 and have lived in Salford all your life (moving between wards is fine).
If you do have any time to spare please either leave a reply in this thread, or PM me.
Thanks a lot for your time

| As a Warringtonian born and bred, I have always fround a Salford accent to be very similar to that of central, north and east Warrington. I would say an outsider would be unable to distinguish them.
There are subtle differences. I would say that Warringtonians tend to drop the word "the" more as in "going t'shops".
Instead of anything, we say "eh-wt" whereas Salfordians would pronounce it "ow-t". They also say "2 while 3" whereas we say "2 till 3".
Thanks to Noel and Liam/Kevin and Perry, young Warringtonians seem to have adopted the Salford/Manchester habit of pronoucing th as an F and the annoying golottel (sp) stop. For example "fanks for my glass of wa'er".
Not exactly relevant to your point just my observations.

| Noel & Liam come from the well known MANCHESTER suburb of Burnage, where indeed I was born (some years before them), but what that has to do with SALFORD accents I know not!!

| Salford had a "manc" accent long before then!
However the Salford accent is still different to a Manc accent. If you know what your listening for. Especially in older people.
