What is the original language of Peaky Blinders?

The original language of Peaky Blinders is English.

Peaky Blinders is a British period crime drama created by Steven Knight and set primarily in Birmingham after the First World War. Its dialogue is chiefly in English, reflecting the programme’s British setting, characters and production origin.

The series does include varied accents and occasional phrases from other languages. Characters speak with Birmingham, Irish, Scottish, American and other regional or national accents, while some scenes involve Romani, Italian, Russian, or other cultural references. Those details do not change the programme’s listed original language.

The show began broadcasting in 2013 and ran for six series, with 36 episodes in total. It follows Thomas Shelby and the Peaky Blinders as they expand from a Birmingham gang into a politically connected criminal enterprise. Viewers sometimes mistake the strong regional accents for a separate language, but the production’s original-language listing remains English.
