A unique and rare brand of native English that can basically be described as British English with American influences. This particular accent will only be found in non-native english speaking territories such as Hong Kong and in parts of Europe, however the speaker's first language is always English. This is quite common among Eurasian children (half Asian half white) with one British parent. This individual will attend international school (English speaking) and therefore will often only speak English though they reside in a non-English speaking part of the world.
At school this kid will mingle with American, Australian, New Zealand, Canadian and of course British kids. American television and music will be a heavy form of entertainment and there will often be some North American teachers at the school. Because of this, the British accent becomes more Americanized than would be normal in the United Kingdom, however the accent stays chiefly British at the core. This may confuse many as this individual will be perceived as sounding British in N America but American in Britain. It can be described as half/half English.

Words that are often pronounced fahst, bahsket, hahlf cahst etc. are replaced with American flat a's.
Words such as daughter pronounce the t more like a d however maintain the aw sound while leaving the r off.
Seldom but existant is the New Yorkizing of words such as pronouncing off as awf and toss as tawss.
Both British and American vocabulary are understood and used in this dialect. Example - both boot and trunk, both pavement and sidewalk.
Mum is replaced with the N American mom.
Both British and American spellings are understood as correct and used. Example - both realise and realize, both colour and color.
Address does not put stress on the a as is the case in American English.

Get the American British English mug.A lazy, controlling police state.
No free speech exists, you can be threatened with arrest for making fun of mugshots.
You're TOLD not to say anything offensive to scum who threw a cat into a reservoir.
You can be insulted & threatened online by morons from another country,
but if you return words, you break a law called "Malicious Communications".
Then you're arrested & punished, even just by calling someone a cunt. Whoever posted the
definition of that law on here got it spot on, "soon be illegal to boo someone in the street"
it already happened. People got arrested for what basically amounts to booing the new king.
Flats pop up everywhere with druggies, yobs & foreign gang members.
Teens harass people in the street, police just relocate them. Can't they be useful? Oh I'm sorry, they're too busy taking golliwogs from windows, or arresting someone for hurting someone's feelings on the internet, exercising their sad little powers of bullshit.
People say fuck all day long, even in front of kids like a moron, making the word lose its impact, but offend someone with a racial slur (that only works one way) or say cunt, it's suddenly like you're a criminal.
Why don't you see police interview videos of these "Malicious Communications" arrests?
Because the country would look the utter shitshow that it really is!
Naysayer: What a load of hyperbolic nonsense.
Yes I'm sure Rowan Atkinson did a talk about freedom of speech all for nothing, easily findable on YouTube.

Any illusion of "free speech" or expression in Britain is gone when you discover it's controlled by authoritarian,
backwards Orwellian laws. Let's change all history to be snowflake friendly too.
Free speech covers all speech whether it's offensive to snowflakes or not.
The law should not be involved in such petty nonsense.
Britain is weak and pathetic. Overrun by outsiders that get free housing while our homeless starve,
backwards laws that only punish their own people, corrupt social services and police that let feral kids run rampant.
Imagine trying to compete with NK or Nazi Germany on a dictatorship level. Silencing people for using "bad words".
This is no joke, go lookup Rowan Atkinson's freedom of speech video.
You can't even include the words "free speech" etc, in your comments on some British YouTube news channels, because they often get shadow banned!
Don't forget that Britain cosies up to that murderous dictator, the clown prince of Saudi Arabia.
Britain also illegally invaded Iraq, weapons of mass destruction?.. Where?!
Then they invaded Afghanistan. And then they also ran away like cowards.
But insulting someone with offensive words..? NOPE, OFF TO JAIL!
F this pathetic backwards WOKE dump.
Rowan Atkinson knows how shitty the country is.
The great big circus known as Britain is happily marching towards total destruction of a free thinking, speaking, society.
George Orwell's 1984 was spot on.
Hang your heads in shame, corrupt tyrant leaders.

Get the Britain mug.Related Words
What makes Britain "Great" exactly? Do they mean great as in big? Because Britain's certainly not big, so it must mean great as in amazing? With all the pandering to weak snowflakes, utter hypocrisy of the law/police, and similar bullshit, i would beg to differ.
Come visit "Great" Britain:
If you want no freedom of speech. Where even Ricky Gervais is allowed to openly accuse Hollywood celebs, while thinly disguising his accusations as "jokes". Jeremy Clarkson was allowed to get away with certain comments, as was David Walliams who insulted people of Britain's Got Talent using foul language, those who hold a high status are allowed to get away with stuff common folk aren't.
if you want expensive apartments made with cheap crap that catch fire easily.
if you want to be arrested for offending somebody over petty shit online via the law called Malicious Communications. Yet people from other countries, via social media, games etc, are freely
allowed to verbally abuse you, say things back and you get treated like a criminal by the pathetic clown police.
If you are sexually assaulted by a female, the police will do nothing, just like what happened with the football stadium incident, a male would be jailed. More double standards like those sentenced for sharing photos of a murder scene, yet Britain had servers hosting disgusting content from Live Leak and Ogrish. Live Leak also had tons of comments of people making fun of those who committed suicide.

Brian: Wow, that's a lot of bullshit from one country. How can people really call it Great Britain?
Me: But there's much more! Don't visit "Great" Britain if..
if you want to see homeless actual British people starving on the streets with their pets, while illegal foreigners continue to pour in and are offered free homing, food and hotels.
People wonder why racism is on the rise, but don't forget, the law is sexist against men, and just like that white men have to suffer, other races can do no wrong. Just like Khan does nothing about knife fest London.
Don't visit "Great" Britain's news sites if you like to be cut off from commenting on certain articles in case your words hurt some sensitive person's feelings.
Don't teach your pet pug to do a Nazi salute on YouTube as a joke, or face arrest of the authoritarian kind.
Don't moon a speed camera or be arrested and wrestled to the floor by the big bad police for "indecent exposure" but you're allowed to see naked butts on even kids cartoons.
The police are heroes! They saved us from a drive by mooning maniac! Luckily, Banksy did a nice mural showing the true nature of the police in this instance, also featuring Bart Simpson.
A country of control, a country for cry babies.
Fix Backwards Britain!

Get the British indian mug.A witty and interesting person that may seem stuck-up or shy at first, but once you get to know them they are crazy. A Britany can have low confidence, but they have no reason to! A Britany always has two sides to her. She’s serious while fun-loving. She always tries in school and surprises people with her knowledge. People strive to be like a Britany. If you want to date a Britany, make sure you can spell her name right first (that’ll impress her). They have very specific type that they want when it comes to dating a guy and are usually very impressed by confidence and be smart. If you want to date a Britany just ask her or her number, she’ll give it to you (;
