    It's a combination of Australian & British. If that makes any sense. It's pretty odd, really.

    @ scarce. I was told that was what I sounded like when I pronounced Angry Birds weirdly once! It was actually pretty cool to hear that, despite never being to Britain or Australia.

    But otherwise, I believe I have a somewhat Asian accent.

    I'm from Texas, and yeah I have a huge accent. It gets so bad no one can understand me. Sometimes I even think in the accent and mess up my writing.

    I think it's extremely lazy and we don't sound out the whole word, and yes we do say y'all.

    I actually make myself talk slower so that it doesn't come out in one big word. Because it tends to do that.

    English-Australian accent, to be pretty obvious. But my friends had told me that I speak different accent when I read... I don't realize that one, though. I forgot to ask them what kind of accent that I have while I'm reading.

    I have a combonation of a yankee accent (because my whole family is from New York/Rhode Island) and southern because I've lived in Texas for far too long now lmao. It's odd really.. The southern accent isn't too bad though, I refuse to say ya'll (just never liked that word for some reason).

    I'm from the Isle of Man, but my accent's apparently a little weird. Nobody in England can figure out what it sounds like. I really wish I had an Australian accent though because they are the best.

    I'm Australian. Not sure how I would describe my accent. It's not like Kevin Rudd's (which is the Queensland accent I think) and not as "ocker" as some. In terms of pronunciation I say 'work' as 'werk,' 'you' as 'ya' sometimes and I sometimes drop the h from the beginning of words.

    I don't think I have an accent, but some people have told me that I do. I live in the northern part of Illinois (near Chicago), but I never really thought about it until I met this girl at school from Indiana, and she told me that I talk kind of weird and that I pronounce my a's differently. When my family and I went on vacation once, we made a stop at a gas station in the South (I don't remember what state it was) and the people working there were curious about where we were from because we had interesting accents. I don't know, it must be a midwestern thing.

    When speaking English, I sound completely American, the standard American English people normally speak in movies/TV...

    My mother language is Portuguese and where I'm from, we also speak the standard although there is a number of accents in my language, too, not only here but also in other Portuguese speaking countries.

    When speaking Spanish, I sound Galician.

    And when speaking Korean, I sound like a tard xD

    Yankee. Haha. New Jersey and New York. And no, people from New Jersey do not talk like those on Jersey Shore. If I'm correct, not a single person on that show is even from New Jersey. I think they're from Rhode Island and Staten Island, and inner NYC. NYC accents are nothing like NJ accents. You have a bit of a mix between them but we're not the same. And yes, some of us say arange rather than orange.

    I've been told I don't sound American when I say certain words. I have somewhat of a lisp still after 7 years of speech and braces. I can't say aluminum right so it comes out a bit runny. And I pronounce elementary as ele-men-tree rather than ele-men-taary. Other than that I sound like a normal New Yorker living outside of NYC.

    When I was younger I had speech problems, I use to have a heavy accent of some form and would not sound like the other kids, so my elementary school sent me to speech therapy where they taught me how to properly talk. Now that I am older I find this instead of helping me have made my speech worst. As I have trouble reading outloud and saying some words. My old accent creeps us somehow and I am not sure what it is but it is a constant struggle to keep myself composed when reading out loud. Though I try to as often as I can.

    I had a persian accent until the second grade, even though I was born in California. My Dad lived here, but my mom had just moved to America from Iran so she only spoke to me in Farsi. So I didn't speak any english when I entered Kindergarten. I mean, I fit in just fine now, but I can still speak in a persian accent whenever I want to because I not only speak the language fluently, but I used to have one Shifty

    I have a Scottish accent. Always have done. Well, obviously since I live in Scotland. It's a very strong accent as well.

    I'm from New England and unfortunately I have that typical accent. But it isn't just a "Bawstin" accent. It's a mix of Boston, and Rhode Island. (They have a Boston/New York-type accent).

    I say certain words funny like "tawlk" or error as "era" and I'm pretty sure all the days of the week end in 'dee.' Like "Mon-dee," "Tues-dee," etc. It's kind of awful. Facepalm

    I have an Oklahoman/Sooner twang, so I say some of my words "funny" according to the residents where I live now.

    I have a slight Southern accent. I kind of hate it. The more I'm around people who speak with it, the more I pick it up. Sad
