What kind of accent do you speak with?

Very Southern 

Very few people think that THEY speak with an accent.  Especially if they live near where they were raised.

' Eh ?

I live right in the heart of Pennsylvania. Like Darren, we also say " youns ". It's our version of " y'all ".

I may have told this story before, but, I was in a South Carolina airport one time and ordered a coffee. The lady asked if I was from Pennsylvania because of my accent. I had to chuckle to myself because I thought she was the one with an accent.

Where I live there is a lot of Pennsylvania Dutch/German. That accent sort of stretches out beyond the Amish community to us natives that have been here all of our life.

English Home Counties. (Think most  BBC reporters).

I don't really have one well to others I would being from the south Lousinia.

It depends on where I am and how much I have had to drink. I spent most of the first 8 years of my life in upstate New York. While my day to day speech doesn't have a NY accent anymore, when I go back, I talk like I never left.

I have a slight southern accent in my day to day speech. But if you get me around others with a southern accent, or if I have a few drinks, my southern accent becomes more pronounced.

To my ear, I have no accent at all.  But when I was in Canada, I was told I had an American "drawl".  So I guess we all have an accent when we leave our own neck of the woods.    :)

I don't think I do but... I remember when Yang was doing the cross country truck driving and he got stuck in Tennessee for a week or week and a half. This was before cell phones so he would only call every few days. By the time he was able to leave he had picked up their southern accent. Even though I loved the sound of his voice, his accent made me feel like I was cheating on my husband with some exotic southern dude! 😅 I told him he couldn't call me again till he had my husband's voice back!

Originally from the South Bronx in New York. However my mom was determined i would not have an accent of any kind (why: An accent would tag me and hurt my employment opportunities, so goes the story).  Over the years I learned to listen carefully to folks with various accents and I found I could mimic them quite well. This led to a few incidents where folks thought I was making fun of them. During a conversation I would pick up their accent and wind up talking to them using their accent.
