LAHORE – Peppa Pig is no new name to any parent. The cartoon follows the life of a pig, Peppa, and her family as they go about their day-to-day life in a fictional U.K. town made up of various animal families.
The animated series first aired in May 2004. British vocabulary and accent is so evident in the show that kids are picking it up really quickly.
Parents in the U.S. are claiming the popular children’s TV show Peppa has caused their kids to start speaking in a British accent.

‘Last night I tucked her to sleep and she looks at me and says “daddy, can you snuggle me” I was like what did you just say baby girl? I don’t remember the last time I used that word,’ he added.
