What is the difference between a Yorkshire and a cockney accent?

I am Scottish and I'm told that we sound aggressive sometimes. Especially us Weegies. (people from Glasgow) The Irish have a more happy voice. We sound similar because Scotland and Ireland have been friends for thousands of years and Gaelic is spelt the same. But pronounced Gah-Lick for Scotland and Gai-Lick for Ireland. You would notice the differences more if you were Scottish or Irish.

∙ 14y agoA Yorkshire accent is spoken by someone who has spent a large portion of their life living in Yorkshire, which is located in the North East of England. A Cockney accent is spoken by someone who has spent a large portion of their life living in the Greater London area, which is located in the South East of England. The main difference is in the way they pronounce their vowels and consonents. There is also a difference in that each group can sometimes use certain local slang words which are peculiar to their particular region. eg (Cockney) "Ello, me old cock sparrer. Are you doing? Wanna go down the rub-a-dub for a pint tonight?"
eg (Yorkshire) "Hey up, owd lad, hows tha doing? Dost tha fancy a pint down the pub toneet?" =Answer 2= Basically the same as the first one, but I'd just like to point out that the Cockney accent around London seems to have begun to die out... You still get it in some areas, but very rarely... In Yorkshire though, I can barely understand what these people are saying... the above example doesn't really show how difficult it is for some people used to some accents to understand Yorkshire people...

∙ 14y agoScottish English tends to be pronounced further forward in the mouth, and to have purer vowel sounds than Home Counties English. (But the vowel sounds of Scottish English are still much dirtier than Italian vowels). Scots also often trill the 'r', and pronounce 'ch' and sometimes 'gh' as gutturals.
You really need to hear examples: the accents are quite unmistakable.

People's attitude toward Cockney?
Cockney has been looked down as inferior by many, being percieved as less friendly and trustworthy, less intelligent and less hardworking. However in a survey of 2000 cockney was voted joint 5th coolest accent in Britain and also it can be positively viewed as straight forward. Since 1909 it has been accepted as a variation of the english language rather than an inferior one.

What is the difference between a Scottish brogue and an accent?
Nothing - Brogue is a nicer word tho. It gives a feel of a warm strong rolling speech that Accent doesn't. It just about word choice like calling something "Ultramarine" is more interesting than Blue. Acctually a brogue is different from an accent. listen to an accent then listen to a brogue you will see that there are many differences. Maybe I am wrong and biased because of my Irish and Scottish heritage, but as far as I am concerned there is a huge difference. Think Billy Boyd vs. Orlando Bloom there is a huge difference between the two. Also there are differences between the brogues themselves. the Irish brogue is (sorry to any scotts reading this) a little easier to understand. of course most of the Scottish folk I've heard (other than Billy Boyd) have very thick accents.
