The Brummie accent, or Birmingham dialect, is spoken by many people in Birmingham, England, and some of its surrounding areas. It is often erroneously used in referring to all accents of the West Midlands, as it is markedly distinct from the traditional accent of the adjacent Black Country, but modern-day population mobility has tended to blur the distinction. The strength of a persons accent can vary greatly all across Birmingham, and the local accent changes relative to the area of the city in question. Below are some common features of a recognisable Brummie accent:

• The pronunciation of the vowel sound /aɪ/ as .
• The pronunciation of the vowel sound /ʌ/ as /ʊ/ (e.g. "fun" pronounced as "fun") .
• The pronunciation of the diphthong /eɪ/ as .
• The pronunciation of the diphthong /aʊ/ as .
• The pronunciation of the diphthong /əʊ/ as .
• The pronunciation of the diphthong /ʌɪ/ as .
• The use of the word "bab" as a term of endearment.
• The use of the word "yow" instead of "you".
• The use of the word "ar" instead of "our".
• The use of the word "owamya?" instead of "how are you?" (this is more commonly used in the Black Country dialect) .

It is important to note that the Brummie accent is not uniform across the city, and not everyone in Birmingham speaks the same accent.
