Cockney

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cockney is an accent or dialect of English, spoken in London, particularly by working-class and lower middle-class Londoners. The term "Cockney" was used to describe a person from the East End, or born within earshot of Bow Bells - The Church of St Mary-le-Bow. Dick Whittington was supposed to have heard the bells calling him back to the city in 1392.[1]
