I grew up mostly in Seattle, Washington. My husband was in the U.S. Navy and we lived on the west coast. Moved to Arkansas when he got out of the Navy and raised our kids their for the most part before moving to Northern Illinois. I talk frequently to my friends in the South and still have a little bit of a southern accent.
This is funny because I live in Alaska, I don't think we have accents except for people who speak native, and I have been told that I have a southern Floridian accent. Odd one that.
I have lived in the south all my life and I have no accent but instead a lovable voice that many ladies adore(I have been told this many times so it's not me talking).
I was born in Indianna, but I grew up in Tennessee most of my life. The people in Tennessee say I have a northern accent and the people in Indianna say I have a southern accent. Weird huh?
I used to have a very strong southern accent (sometimes called a Tennessee Accent or a redneck accent). But as of now I don't have one, but I can still do the southern accent if I want! My mother who is from Brooklyn can do a strong New Yorker accent when she wants to.
When i was in 6th grade, my friends said i have british-english accent. I never liked british-english as how it seems to me a little more dramatic. Too many ups and downs.. So i was always like "no I don't" =P lolx but now, in grade 9, I'm starting to realize that maybe i do.. =( lolx! But i like new york's accent better. Seems a little more cooler to me =P
Cambridge, English accent. Sometimes a bit of cockney, chav, scouse or New Yorker comes out. Don't ask me why New York becuase I've never been there! But, when ever I say my country or something with an 'or' at the end of words, I always pronounce them like 'Singapaw-ah' and then I'm like 'LOL!'
I was born and raised in New York City (outer borough), and have a real Noo Yawk accent, which I never noticed to any degree until I moved to Ohio. Some people would ask me if I was from New England (huh??), and other people would tell me they loved the accent. After a couple of months of this, I found if I talked slow, I could pronounce words "un-Brooklyn", but if I get excited, then it's all "tawk", "dawg", "cuppa cawfee". LOL! -- boddabing boddaboom! (and yes, I'm from an Italian family). Moe
I've been told that I have a southern accent. I usually don't hear it but I guess that's because my family is from Louisiana, though I've never been there. I've lived in California all my life.
I'm from Michigan.. I have a yankee accent with touches of sporatic southern "OOPS Did I Say That's?" mixed in....lol... Ive lived in southern Mississippi now for 3 years and Ive noticed I have a tiny bit of southern influence in my speech.
I'm the only person from massachuesetts here .... Lol as you probably thought from seeing my state I have a boston accent and yes I do.but its not like a heavy accent, like I wouldn't stick out ... That bad.. Lol.
Blooming awful. I have a deep belfast brogue and it was only when i heard myself on tape it made me cringe. What about you translates as water boot ye. I try not to speak like that but i forget myself and revert back to belfast brogue. They say, you can take the man out of belfast but you cant take belfast out of the man. :)
People always ask me if I'm From NY.. And I am a Native FLoridian. There is quite a range of accents in FL. People here are from all over. I don't hear that many twangy accents on Floridians.. The real southern sounding are transplants from Alabama.. Or Georgia
I think a New York accent tempered by the collective accents in Tampa must be wonderful.
My accent is southern....but stranger than my accent , is that I'm married to a Bostonian. It is hysterical the corrections we find ourselves making to what we thought we heard. I always tell people that not only am I southern but my ears are too. I love his accent by the way and he says he loves mine and swears it's without a drawl , just soft. Oh Well
I'm from Los Angeles so I have no accent. I speak like a newscaster has no accent. When I went home to Manila last year, my friends said I have an American accent. I have a sister in UK and she has an English accent. Since I came from the Philippines, I try my best to inunciate the words, pronounce it the American way, and use idiomatic expressions and street English to express myself as if I have lived here all my life. That's why I like Blurtit. I am learning new ways of expressing myself.
I don't believe I have an accent at all;but that is probably what everyone say because they are used to the way people talk in there vicinity. I have an upstate New York accent if such a thing exists! I am living in Rochester,N.Y.
Why what are you saying how dare you say i have a accent ..i can't tell if i have a accent..how do you listen to yourself when your talking in order to tell.....:) lolrotf...besides everybody else but me has a accent....:) especially nascarnut....when she is typing
I am from Michigan originally, as with the northern midwest, we don't have an accent, we speak correct English. Now I live in Southern Indiana 3 miles from Louisville Ky. I now have a bit of a Southern accent, it is a cause of much mirth in my family up there. My sis moved to N.Y. And has a Brooklyn accent. The 2 of us keep the family entertained with our borrowed accents.
My accent is HORRIBLE!!! For some reason, I have a british accent sometimes, a southern accent sometimes, and a south jersey accent sometimes (this one i can understand, considering i live in south jersey). I can't help which one i speak with. It's just random. I've lived in jersey all my life, so where did the british accent come from??? Also, what's worse is... Sometimes i speak with 2 accents at one time! Have you ever heard someone talk with a british accent and south jersey accent at the same time? Well, if you talk to me, you will. :(
I have a Midwestern accent. We don't think it's funny, but it is to other people. If we're around a certain accent for too long, then we start getting that accent too.
