The Brummie accent is one of the best in the land and we are proud of how we speak. Our friendly, modest intonations bring a wonderful earthy tone to the world.
Brummies have been welcomed across the globe where many have shone brightly with success and we’ve welcomed people from nations around the world to our city as well. There’s no reason to take the hump about Brummagem speak - alright bab!
