Accents

[Moo-Moo]

Well I am from Alabama in southern USA and well my accent makes me sound like per say a dumb redneck?!?!?! oh well I know I am not and that is what matters!!!!

[~*Red*~]

I love my New Zealand accent and my girlfriend (who is from Texas) really loves it too.

[Mayonnaise-Senpai]

I never heard my accent before until last year when my Chorus teacher said that Delawareans say phone like... I can't really describe it unless you hear it.

Do I like it? Well, I hardly notice it that I don't mind it.

[Kanjoudakai_Ira]

I don't think i have an accent. But i love different types of accents such as russian,japanese or irish

[╬Karami Mew~Meow]

My accent in my language ..well, is normal and the 'right' way in my lang o.O
For Tagalog, yes, I adjust to it. And English, my uncle said I have a New York Dialect.

I have an accent, pretty much unique to the maritime provinces.

Nova Scotia/Cape Breton/Newfoundland has an accent that is pretty much unique to that part of the world. We tend to slur some words together, pronounce things a bit differently, cut off parts of words and in some cases, just make up words or apply other ones where you normally wouldn't (example: "Look'it that yun' cod thar bye" really translates to "look at that young lady there sir" in normal english.

Now take all of that, and double your regular speaking speed. Almost everything sounds like one big long slurred word. I think that may be some kind of Irish influence since they settled Nova Scotia along with the Brits and French.

Normally, I have it controlled.. only people from that area can detect it, but when I get excited, or sometimes when I'm mad ... man it just comes right out. I got excited about something a few months ago and a coworker just looked at me and had no idea what I said.

i have a really bad southern accent, i hate it so much.

[Zenni-Kun]

well, i'm not sure if my case of an accent counts, considering i wasn't born with it, but i picked mine up instead, and it sounds like Cmdr. Tucker from Star Trek Enterprise

New York accent? When I went to New York, people can tell where I'm from because of my English, they know specifically what state I'm from. However, I don't find big differences in different dialects in English in America. But in my country, the south and the north have very different, all the tongue twisting, the strong "shhhh" sounds, and blah blah blah.

[Hanamaru Kunikida]

I have a Hispanic guy accent...

For the record, not having an accent is an accent, I forgot what is it called though...

[Myrra]

Mine's midwestern, which by American standards is the absence of an accent.

LoL...YOU STOLE MY ACCENT!!

My accent base is midwestern, but depending on who I'm talking to and my choice of vocabulary, I can sound as if I'm from Texas, London or even Ireland (though what part, I'd have not a clue!). Apparently, like my handwriting, I've picked up numerous influences from the people I've known over the years.
My French has a distinct Mexican accent to it and my Spanish has a noticeable French accent to it as well (could never make my professors happy with my pronunciations).

I like accents. I love listening to how people speak and say certain words. Though there are words I'll never quite manage to get out of my own mouth quite right...Worcestershire comes immediately to mind. My b/f teases me to no end cos I can't say it.

Myrra! In response to the rep you left!

For the kind of accent I meant, check this video, its your standard Newfoundlander/Newfie accent:


(explicit language warning blah blah)

My normal accent is half of that, but he's talking slow, when people from the east coast provinces talk amongst themselves its probably about twice as fast.

There, now you heard it! It should remind you of Irish somewhat, because NS was settled by them, British and French hundreds of years ago.

[tenzo_groupie]

100% pure Aussie accent. I love it. XD

[Android 19-90]

I don't have an accent, I'm from California, which for some reason there's an assumption any and all Californians have either use surfer lingo or talk like Valley girls. Which is crap and clarifies you haven't been to California enough.
Sometimes, when I'm bored I talk in a crappy Russian accent and refer everyone as comrade.

[naotavespaboy]

I have a very heavy Suffolk accent (can't read or write but can drive a tractor etc. kind of thing). Yes its a British accent but not like the posh upper class or cockney accents that we are stereotyped for. I love it and am very proud of my country heritage.

[lovelicious]

I guess I have asian accent, but it's sounding more like american-like as my step dad talks in american-like accent everyday. I don't really mind it, though.

[JIMBO.]

100% pure Aussie accent. I love it. XD

half British + half Americian = Aussie, but thats just in sound your manner is your own

At that speed, I could understand it, but any faster than that and my poor brain would have trouble keeping up.
And you're right it does have an Irish ring to it.

[wowzabunny]

I also have a capetonian accent like roxas
I dont notice it but i know that i have it

[Bulf]

I'm not sure if I even have an accent. o_o But, British accents on women are hot.

[Ai no nai]

I used to have one when i was younger but school fixed it. Italian accents are the coolest next to japanese i want mine back.

[Light Buster]

Don't mind it, unless it gets on my nerves in some way...

[Eris]

I sound like this guy

[Baka]

I talk like a baby sometimes. Does that count??? LOL But seriously, I've been told that I have a Californian accent but I can't tell. I never even heard of a California accent until then. Is there such a thing???
