GB News: One of Britain's most iconic accents is 'dying' with migration partly to 'blame': 'Loss of cultural identity'
One of Britain's most iconic accents is 'dying' with migration partly to 'blame': 'Loss of cultural identity'
The Cockney accent in East London is declining due to gentrification and migration, which have displaced traditional speakers. A report from Preply highlights that urbanization and exposure to standardized speech through media are contributing factors to this linguistic shift.

Experts note that while some may view the accent's decline as a cultural loss, it reflects natural linguistic evolution. Changing identity markers and social stigma around accents are also influencing speech patterns among younger generations.
