Abstract
Despite the substantial Asian community in the
UK, there has been very little phonetic work on
British Asian accents. The complementary results
from two small-scale studies of Glasgow Asian
accent confirm the identification of Glasgow Asian
as an recognizable accent, identify accent features
particular to Glasgow Asian and not found in
Glaswegian more generally, and confirm their use
- with specific social-indexical functions - in
everyday speech.
