Yeah its got a bad reputation for some reason but as I said some parts are terrible but there is some nice bits believe it or not.
I do believe it, it’s like London, - to an outsider it’s one urban lump, to those living in it there are distinct parts each with their own character. According to accent experts, Brummie is closest to how everyone spoke 6 or 700 years ago.

How common.
 
Apologies if I confused Brummie with Black Country, there is a difference apparently but as an outsider I can’t hear it.

To be fair, there is Black Country, and unintelligible.

Brummie is different again.

I can tell them apart, but would struggle to describe brummie.

Apart from they say "lung", and "strung", rather than "long", and "strong".
 
By "unintelligible", I mean "may as well be a different language".

Best example I can think of right now would be

"Ar bist?"

meaning

"How are you doing?"
