Welcome to Manchester Voices!

Manchester Voices is a research project run by a team from Manchester Metropolitan University, exploring the accents, dialects and identities of people from across the ten boroughs of Greater Manchester.

The research took place between 2019 and 2022, collecting people’s voices, insights and attitudes in a celebration of language diversity. This interactive resource allows you to explore what we found. It contains videos, audio recordings, dialect maps, pronunciation maps, analysis, and much more, all organised by project area and by common themes.

We will continue to add more video clips over the coming months.
