- Geordie
- Welsh
- Yorkshire
- Irish
- Pirate
- Essex
- Scouse
- Jamaican
- Russian
- Australian
In order to do so we could use various point sizes etc. Here are my 10:
Geordie - Despite it's reputation, I think that the Geordie accent can be quite smooth and flowing. I feel that this font shows the true Geordie accent.
Australian - For this, I have put emphasis on the 'wh' sound and the 'u' sound as I feel that these should be slightly dragged out and exaggerated.
Russian - This is a very obvious choice for a Russian font and is the kind of font commonly used for Russian style design.
Jamaican - When I think Jamaican I stereotypically think Rastafarian. To me, this font seems to visually represent this in a subtle way.
Pirate - Another obvious choice for this accent; the emphasis has been added on to the 'r' sound.
Welsh - When I think about the Welsh I am reminded of a program 'Gavin and Stacey' and this font is very similar to the one that they use. I have added some emphasis to the 'o' sounds within the question.
Yorkshire - When I think Yorkshire, I think about the Yorkshire moors and the program 'Emmerdale'. This fonts reminds me of the font used within that.
Irish - This is a stereotypical font used to represent Ireland and the Irish accent; very Celtic in appearance.
Essex - When I think essex, I think 'The Only Way Is Essex' and the font used for that which is actually very simple and plain; the people from Essex are seen very differently however.
Scouse - This is the font used for 'The Beatles' which is what I associate Liverpool and the Scouse accent with.
I found this task surprisingly difficult. I think that this is because I don't have a good ear for accents at all and found it difficult to hear were the emphasis should be placed on most fonts. Also, I don't have a very good knowledge of accents and places and so for most I went with things that I relate to the place of origin as opposed to the actual accent.
