Accent

I have lived around Chicago my entire life so I have never noticed it before, but when I went to Utah over the summer, one of our guides looked between me and my sister and was like, "Wow! You two have really strong midwest accents." I never even knew the midwest had an accent.

I'm Australian but always get told I don't exactly have an Australian accent. I sound different from my friends. I've pinpointed my exact accent and have gotten confirmation from relatives and friends. It's a mix of a few things.

Irish. Canadian. English. Central Australian. All mixed together. I get the first three from my Mum's side. My grandpa has a very unusual accent which I've picked up. And the last one because I lived in Central Australia for a while. It's all mixed thus I have an unusual accent.

It drops in and out too. When I'm mad or arguing it gets thicker. My grandpa was born in Ireland and moved to Canada when he was in his late teens and he was/is in the Navy. Heaps of people find it amusing to listen to me speak.

My accent is so unusual for an Australian that I always get mistake for someone who has just moved here. :lmfao

I used to have a Finnish accent before I moved to the New England area(NH to be exact.) Now I don't prononce the 'T' in out. :)

I have a Scottish accent and according to some people who have heard me talk, I talk way too fast and because my accent was so rough, they can't understand me.

I'm not really sure how to describe my accent. Since I should probably, technically have New Yorker accent, since both my parents speak like genuine New York City residents, but because I only lived New York until I was three, I never developed the accent fully myself.

I grew up in Vermont, which I suppose is a mixture between...how do I explain this, no real accent at all, with very few words, such as 'car' or 'dang' almost sounding like a typical Minnesota accent (if you've ever seen the movie Fargo, you might get what I mean by that). I've attempted to listen to myself speak, and then compare it to how other real Vermonters speak, and I've pretty much distinguished that I have no real, strong accent, other than occasionally slipping up and pronouncing some words like my New Yorker parents do. :tehe:

Very Scottish. Very working class. It's very disorientating when I talk about 'clever' things because my voice would make you believe I had six kids and an alcohol dependency.

My friend Endura has a Brooklyn accent, and she's never been there in her life. :XD
She also can't say the word fruit.
I don't have an accent really, I just "talk too proper" for my environment.

I'm from England and I've been told that I have a very posh accent like the Queen. I disagree but apparently I always pronounce each word correctly and I don't drop any letters. However I can't say some words properly like ear (I say air).

Ever read any of Tom Leonard's poetry? :D
He's pretty rad.

I'm Scottish, and had a generic Ayrshire accent for awhile, moved north, now my accent changes depending on who I'm talking to, oddly. I. Either. Speak. In. A. Stuttery. Staccato. Voice. ooor, ItalkalktogethertoofastandwithamassiveUPSWING fromwatchingtoomuchDAMNEDTV!!!

Generic American accent for the most part. Although, my friends tell me that I say "Spanish" weird. I think that's just because I don't have an annoying Baltimore accent.

Aussie and Irish accent just make me melt.
I'm from East London so I drop the t's in words and stuff like that. When I moved to university and talked to the flat for the first time they were like what?
Cause I use a lot of slang and dialect words, they still can;t understand me sometimes even now and we've been here for four months.

I 'av an 'ampshire accent mixed wit' a bit o' cockney sometimes, but other times really posh. Aha.

I'm Australian, so I guess I have an accent. I had an English teacher for chemistry last year who pointed out the way we (Australians) say water - we pronounce it like 'warda'. XD So now I say water with a properly pronounced t :file:

Personally I can't stand the sound of my own voice when it's recorded or anything. It sounds horrible.

Well, I live in California, but my family's from all over the east coast and midwest. My accent is a mix of a 'skateboarer' Califonia accent (think 'dudeee!' :XD ), a little Canadian (it comes out rarely) and then I tend to have a Southern twang to some stuff because I have family in South Carolina. I practically live there in the summer. Haha, I'm just a mutt of accents.

I never really noticed I had an accent untill my grandparents from Michigin said something about it. I'm from Philly, and I talk way differently from my mother who's from Michigin. I pronounce things like 'water' 'wuder' and 'tour' 'toor'. And I apparently talk way to fast xD

Someone from Nebraska once told me I have a strong Northern Californian accent.
I suppose I say 'hella' a decent amount and fail at enunciating certain words.

My close friends say I sound like a stereotypical gay man when I talk. Apparently, I say the words "milk," "warm," and "bag" funny. Maybe it's because I spend way too much time wandering aimlessly around the Castro.

I guess it all comes down to the fact that I wish I had a Russian accent. I really do. Sometimes I put one on just for fun. o.0

My friends and I never say berry right... we say it like "burry" which personally I think is quite funny.

Otherwise, I do live in Canada so I could qualify as having a Canadian accent, eh? (yes, I do say eh on occasion...) I definitely have a Canadian vocabulary though.

I live in Australia and I have quite a strong accent now. I don't mind the accent but I LOVE British people when they speak. Especially all the CNN correspondants. I love their accents. :tehe:

I'm Russian, but I have like a billion accents all in one. I would be happy with just the British and the Russian, but no, I have to have American, German, Australian and New Zealand in that too...

I'm from Wisconsin (ew, the land of cheese) and have a Wisconsin accent, I guess. That's what my friend from WV says all the time.
