The British Library has created a Google Map to record and map English accents around the world.
The British Library are asking people all over the world to read and record the children's story 'Mr. Tickle' by Roger Hargreaves. The story has been chosen for the range of English sounds it contains when read out loud.
You can listen to the recordings already made by clicking on the map markers on the map and pressing play on the embedded audio player.
This isn't the first sound map produced by The British Library. The UK SoundMap is a Google Map of soundscapes captured around the UK.
