56 officially in the British Isles, but in reality quite a lot more than that

https://www.quora.com/How-many-accents-are-there-in-the-British-Isles-and-North-America

To give Yorkshire 1, West Country 2 and Wales 1 just seems odd. Even folk not from there can tell they are hearing various accents when visiting.

Here is a short clip of an old stand up comic who used to be big here. He is from west Cornwall which is where my family come from.

A place once rich in unique culture, history, and language. Now ruined, thanks to mass immigration.
