You seem to be referring to Cockney, which is a label used for a dialect originated from working class people of London's East End. The dialect is sharply different from standard English, with some of its markers being the detectable addition of extra vowels in some words, and the dropping of the 'h' from many words beginning with that letter (example, the word 'half' might be pronounced 'alf in that dialect).

English, with its many linguistic influences, did not develop this system in its written spelling, perhaps because it has an unusually high number of vowel sounds (not just a e i o u and y but the actual phonetic sounds, all 12, long and short vowels as well as dipthongs like the ai sound in "ride." Denoting all of these with a separate symbol simply isn't how the written language progressed, and would be a highly complex way of writing. English also doesn't have as rigid of emphasis rules as Spanish has, making it difficult to distinguish which words' stressed syllables should have accents in English.
