The accent of Newport is distinctive, quite different from that of nearby Cardiff and has some of the influence of rural Monmouthshire, i.e. some Newportonians going shopping go "down town", which may be pronounced as "Dewn tewn", for 'into town'. An influx of Midlanders 100 years ago, when the Lysaghts steelworks was opened, has also had some effect. Many aspects of the accent are clearly discernible in songs by Newport-based satirical rap group Goldie Lookin Chain.

A Newport doctor told me that when attending to babies in the surgery she used to say to the mothers 'now cwtch the baby up', and they would hold the baby up as if they were in the act of giving it the breast.

"The newport accent is particularly tricky, went there to get my passport done and i didn't have a clue what they were saying. " - Digital Spy

'Most Newportians have an accent that is Welsh ... It is surprising the number of local people who erroneously think they have no accent at all. Perhaps towards Chepstow the Gloucestershire burr can be heard in the speech, but the lilt of Wales is not far away.' (Olive Phillips in Monmouthshire - The County Books Series).

"The best one I know is when meeting/greeting someone in the port this is pronounced as 'eye' as in alright. This colloquialism has always been evident in the port since I was strolling around in my dappers"

I am from Newport (lived there 21 years before moving to Cardiff - lived in Cardiff for 10 years), am not a Welsh speaker, and did Elocution lessons because my singing teacher complained about my "Newport" South Walian accent - flattening vowels and the like.
