That's Yorkshire.

I'll participate, too, if you don't mind. My native accent (from
childhood) is roughly "standard British" of some sort (non-rhotic).
This has been overlaid with an American accent through schooling, but I
write Shavian with the British influence (this shows, for example, in
the vowels which I distinguish).

I'll put each word on its own line. Sorry if that makes this message
longer in number of lines.
