  2. The “Mancunian” dialect The Mancunian dialect is less commonly known than other dialects, because it does not have any particularly distinctive features. Mancunian comes from the city it is primarily located, Manchester. When spoken at full speed it is fairly easy to understand for non-native speakers, especially when compared to Scouse. However, it still has a “northern” sound.
