    i am originally from Iceland, but ive lived in New zealand and the UK so my accent is a bit influenced by those accents.
    I used to have a very american accent, to the point where americans though i was from the states :P but now my accent is slightly more english i guess. but i have heard i have : english, american, kiwi, scottish and irish :P
    But more or less, the american think im english and the english think im american .

    Oh and when im drunk, i will pick up on the accents around me. which was very embarrassing i Scotland since i can NOT do a scottish accent...

    I'm working on my southern accent since I just moved to the south 6 months ago!

    Give us a little more to go on-what part of "the South"??

    Well I used to have the neutral usa accent, but over the last 16 years of living in minnesota I've unfortunately picked a little bit of the nasty midwestern thing. Oh well, planning to move in a couple of years, it'll go away!

    London, that's West London for those that understand the different London accents.:tongue:

    I'm from Norfolk, but lived in South London for 8 years, now in America. I love the different London accents!!!!

    I live in Minnesota - but an upbringing in Texas/Oklahoma has left me with a southern twang....

    French Canadian! I hate it, my American husband loves it and my Mother-in-law thinks it's hilarious that I don't pronounce most of my Hs.

    I suppose you can say that I have a slight Midwestern accent. I try to speak without one so no one here in SoMD can guess where I'm from except that it's not here but when I get very tired I begin to draw out my "o" sound and it's pretty apparent.

    Around here, a lot of people have at least a bit of a southern country twang. Seems to be a county thing.

    Combination California girl and Southern accent. O.O I often asked where my accent is from as they strain to try and pick out the accent/s they are hearing.

    I'm Dutch, but all my friends in London say I sound Scottish when I speak English.
    Don't know why.

    I guess if I have one, it's northern Wisconsin. You can hear it in my Os...but I think that's about it. I've lived in 5 different states, so I never really picked up ONE accent.

    New York...but not the overly dramatic TV-type New York and No, I don't say Nu Yawk. I pronounce my words. FFS! :wink:

    I have a Spanish accent. Spanish accent from South America and not Spain. They are quite different, at least to my ears.

    My accent is mostly eastern PA (near philly) - which is where I am from. And I have a little of this dialect that I am not even sure where it's from that I picked up from my mom and I am sure she got from my grandma (I have to ask her where it's from) but only on some words. :laugh: Everyone teases me when those words come out.

    I live in Bucks county, we are almost neighbors.

    I was born in Stroudsburg but resided mostly in Snyder County. No accent that I'm aware of. Irish and British accents are a big turn on for me though. :heart: :smile:

    I've lived in AZ my entire life, and everyone asks me if I'm Canadian. I definitely hear the Southern thing a bit when talking to people who've lived here their whole lives, too.

    Ditto. I've been told that my accent is really, really noticeable. I guess I don't hear it. Lol.

    I don't think I do, but there are some words that I pronounce with a slight east Texan drawl :P
