how good is your ear?

Can you tell a Swansea accent from a Cardiff one? Bengali from Punjabi? Would you know Irish when you heard it?

There's a huge variety of accents and languages to be heard in the British Isles. With your help we want to find out how familiar some of them are.

Listen to 10 randomly selected clips and select where you think each voice is from - or what language they are speaking. See how you score!
