Cockney's Enduring Influence on Global English

While less prevalent in contemporary London, the Cockney dialect surprisingly demonstrates a remarkable global impact on English accents.

Its persistence is evident in regions like Essex, but its reach extends to unexpected locations such as Scotland, Australia, and New Zealand.

Migration patterns and media exposure have played crucial roles in disseminating Cockney features across diverse linguistic landscapes.

Although modern variations exist among younger speakers, the core elements of Cockney continue to influence and shape English globally.
