Do any of you...

have a Northern accent... or any in particular?

I was just wondering because there don't seem to be many people from the Northeast US compared to the West and the South.

 

where are you from?




i'm guessin i have a louisiana accent
idunno though
ahaha

 

i have a southern california accent..

 

I don't think I really have an accent... if that is possible. I guess it'd be midwestern, which to me sounds like no accent at all. There is a kind of Akron/Cleveland accent that kind of stresses the letter 'a,' but I don't really have that like other people I know from my area.

 

But aren't you from Northern California...





I have a North Carolina accent (because I live near the border and lived there with my grandparents/uncle for awhile, spend alot of time there when I can)... so... again would equal "uhgiyin", NC = Nawrth Careline(ah)

Other than that, I have a tidewater virginia accent... (think Keller Williams, he's from Fredericksburg, just north of me) and when we say our O, it sounds like "oa.."

Outside (owtside) would be Oawtsa(a)d... water would be wooter/wu(u)tter/wooder everyone tried to copy british accents here from all the rich Brits/loyalists that studied abroad back in the 1700s... and alot of people still talk like that today. It's kind of like a hickish cockney accent crossed with gone with the wind... which totally stereotyped VA accents.

Still looking for Northeastern folks.

 

my timeline:

born: san diego
there until 2000.
2000-2004: idaho
2004-2005: san francisco area
2005-now: idaho.

northern is the only part i've ever felt at home at... so i call that home. but, i guess technically So Cal is my home since thats the one I lived in the longest.

 

Apparently i have a french canadian/ Boston-Worcester area accent

Do I count

 

Boston... Massachusetts?

But you live in Kwah-bayck... how clost to boston are you"?

It's just that my grandma is from Worcester , she was born and raised in Worcester from immigrant french-canadian parents . My great-grand parents moved to the ''États'' because there weren't any decent jobs anywhere in Québec. Apparently, my great-grand father was allergic to dust but yet he was working in a bakery .. Anyways ...She lived there until 1950 when she married my grand father (who is a french-canadian), and after that she raised my mom and her two brothers almost just in english in Québec City.

But that's quite bizarre, because i never really talk in english with my mother and very rarely with my grandma (who speaks perfect french btw).

That's why i am always suprised when people in Maine ask me if i come from Boston because i sound a bit like a Boston guy

 

I have a delaware accent with a little bit of PA thrown in.

 

I have a Canajun accent.

 

i have a canadian accent. i say eh a lot and slur my words

 

i have a northern accent

 

I'm from Ohio.

Not much of an accent.

 

are you sure you're not just drunk a lot?

 

yeah, me too. and i mumble a lot. mostly just to myself though..

 

I don't know what a Pennsylvanian accent sounds like to other people, but I have one.

 

i've always wanted to know what my accent sounds like to other people.

i wonder if i'll ever know...

 

I lOVE THE PA ACCENTS!

you guys say some sentances that come out sounding like questions because you emphaize the last syllable.
