Cardiff people?

Question

Do Cardiff people think of themselves as welsh, they have their own accent and to me they seem to look down their noses at people who do not have the same twang as them. cardiffians are the only welsh people i have this feeling of, and to be honest consider them almost English, prove me wrong please.

Answer 1

they know there welsh and accept that but cardiff is the bigger city in south wales so they think they are the posh welsh the ones i met anyway. bah bah

Answer 2

I come from a town called Llanelli, 55 miles away, and there are different accents in different parts of Wales.

So I can tell if a person's accent is from Cardiff or Aberystwyth, just as a Brummie would reckognise a Geordie accent.

As Cardiff is the capital of Wales they most certainly think of themselves as Welsh, so I'm afraid you are mistaken, probabbly by the small sample of people that you have met.

Answer 3

I AM from North Wales and our fellow countrymen & women from the south are Welsh

Answer 4

well, Cardiff is definitely not in England.

you are not necessarily welsh if you live in Cardiff.

the broadness of the accent varies, as it does with all languages in all countries throughout the land.

Answer 5

I live one mile away in caerphilly and everyone thinks they are retards

Answer 6

I lived in Newport, South Wales for 2 years and there are different Welsh accents wherever you go in Wales.

Answer 7

I'm from Cardiff, lived here for 20 years. I think you have to remember that because of Cardif being the capitol city of Wales, it does attract people from all over the world, same as London etc, so the accent is 'diluted' throughout the city. In South Wales, the Welsh language speakers have dropped a certain percentage in the last couple of years but its trying to be raised again.

Answer 8

I only have to travel 5 miles from my home town to notice a difference in accents. Like in England there is more than one accent .
