Directions Task

We asked people from all over Greater Manchester to record themselves guiding someone along a route in a map. We deliberately chose particular landmarks on the map to encourage people to say words which we thought might differ in pronunciation across the region. Listening to these example recordings gives a good sense of how accents vary across the ten boroughs of Greater Manchester.
