UK - A new study claims regional pronunciations of words are likely to be wiped out

The video discusses the potential loss of regional dialects in the UK over the next 50 years, influenced by factors such as mobility, media, and social media. Researchers suggest that northern pronunciations may be replaced by southern versions. The spread of received pronunciation through media and the impact of COVID-19 on language are also highlighted. Despite these changes, there is hope that some regional words will remain, preserving local identity.
