Speak this line in the scouse accent (Link for help: Starts at 0:40 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXLXcO9HZXQ ): Changes have taken place in Scouse vowels, which show length and exaggeration at times in words like 'read', conversely shorter than standard in a word like 'sleep'. A final 'er' is a sound that, although pronounced as a schwa in surrounding Lancashire and Cheshire, is emphasised as strongly as the 'e' in 'pet' /pɛt/. In a strong Scouse accent, the phoneme /k/ can be realised as /x/ or sometimes /kx/.
