Accents are the prime method of social and generational identification and recognition. They have to change over time or there'd be no point.

Ages: Frages/'issages
'Frages' is Wenglish for 'for ages' and 'issages' is the Wenglish equivalent of 'this ages': "I haven't seen you frages.", or "I haven't been to the pictures 'issages.".
Brockway said:East Cardiff ie Llanrumney, has a touch of Newport worzel in it. North Cardiff is the poshest. To my ears Ely sounds the most "Welsh" in the sense that monkeeunit thinks of a Welsh accent. South Cardiff you can detect strong Irish and West Country lilts. Riverside a mix of Asian Welsh and faux Cockney.

I think a really broad kaiirdiff accent can sound scouse
and since when has the kairdiff accent encompassed a welsh accent anyways? there is very little thats welsh about a kaiirdiff accent any more, I belive as a result of it being full of imcommers through generations via the docks and heavy industry
The kairdiff accent is about as english as you'll get outside of monmouth/newport areas

In the rhymney valley ' I do go' - meaning I go or I went or regularly..... is widely used
as is " I do do" .... whatever activity follows means "I go to or I partake in ( in the strictest sense of the word anyway
so you get things like " On thursday I do go to the bingo"
Or I do do go up the chippy on friday ( meaning I went or I will to the chippy on friday)
Hearing people say " I do do" is like hearing a stutter to someone from outside the area
that'll be like my accent then,,, i still put gwent on letters i send home,, infact i put,,,welsh_beauty said:im from the valley (torfaen) used 2 b called gwent by the way so if anyone could inform me on what my accent sounds like i would be very grateful.
