Accents!

I am from SW VA. We definitely have the Appalachian accent, but I like to think I have lost most of mine over the years. It comes out at times though... especially after a few beers.

 

I'm originally from Newcastle, england so i have a Geordie accent. (Think ant & dec, they were in love actually i'm sure)

 

i'm typical proper american when i want to be.
Other times for some reason i'll be speaking with some other accent i watch to much TV:lol:

 

I live in Southern Ontario, and while some people may say Canadians have an accent, in my area I don't notice any form of accent unless the guy or girl is actually from another region. It's just not really existent.

 

I guess I have a "long-guylind" accent. xD
Apparently I say "tall" funny.
But I can do a pretty good British accent if I do say so myself.

 

I'm from BC Canada. And as mentioned previously here... we apparently have an accent. I recently tried hearing it when talking to a Brit and a fellow Canuck and we do have a bit of something... it's just hard to distinguish what exactly is different. :lol:

I have an accent that is typical of california I guess. But when I've been to arizona and stuff I don't see any difference really so I don't know.

 

i'm from Chicago, so i have a midwestern accent!

 

I have a relatively strong Dublin accent, as is to be expected from one who has lived her whole life there

 

I guess I have a general american accent and I use the Bostonian Vocab
(also Bostonians don't say tonic...ever.), but there are just a few words i say slightly differently.
Like aunt.
I say it like this [ont] but everyone else seems to like to say [ant]. (but i'm right)

 

I have a plain Canadian accent, I suppose. I don't sound like the steriotypical "Canuck" accent, (although my dad does XD) but it's a bit different from american accents I guess.
My accent is boring. XD

 

depends on which part of arizona, but in tuscon [and from the phoenix ive heard], they use a more centralized vowel for words like caught/volume. ie. sound more like cat/valume. my cousins over there have the change and it sounds weird to californian ears

sure you are :icon_wink

 

I have a West/Central Canadian accent. Also known as General Canadian, which is pretty much identical to a Western US accent minus the occasional vowel pronunciation.

 

I'm Irish but to be honest, I have no idea what my accent is like compared to others..or how to describe it! People tell me I have a smooth accent, nobody can ever pinpoint what it is XD
One things for sure, irish accents vary GREATLY. Dubliners accents are 100% different than a Northerners accent etc

 

Minnesota accent, upper Midwest, boring flat.
the more northern you go up state the more
similar it is to the Canadian accent

 

What he said

 

I have the American Central North Atlantic accent. Spoken around the Great Lakes.

I have the deep accent for it.

 

I live in South Florida but I am from London, England originally. Although I have lived in the U.S. for nearly 19 years, I still have a totally English accent. I speak the Queen's English.

People can tell I'm from the Boston Area. I do drop the letter "r" in many words as well as pronouncing o as "aw" (e.g. Donna => Dawwna).

 

Accents round here change loads from village to village. I know lots of people say this for their area, but it really does here . My accent has changed loads in the last 5 years just because i go to a school 15 miles from home, and it's gone more understandable/normal.

Peak District (northern england, near Manchester) accent - it sounds quite broad/rough, we're known to say "ey up me duck" a lot, but that's only old people really and if i said it it'd be a bit cringey. Still, it's fucking weird to outsiders, definitely well away from a posh english accent. I get asked what part of Yorkshire i'm from sometimes, it's like OFFENSIVE (nothing against yorkshire folk).
