Everything about West Midlands English totally explained

West Midlands English is a group of dialects of the English language. The accent has experienced ridicule within the UK for its unusual sound. Most English people don't realise the accent is a result of extensive migration to the region during the industrial revolution. Birmingham and its surrounding suburbs received people not only from England but also from Ireland.
   Certain areas of the West Midlands are stereotyped as having stronger accents than others, Dudley being an example.
   There are some local phrases that are renowned. People do tend to substitute a reply of "arr" for "yes". Generally, most words are shortened, most commonly being "I haven't" to "I ay".
