    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 had to respond when I read this. I grew up in Warrington, bucks county PA. I have since moved to Indiana and then to Chicago area. It cracks me up because people around here ask if I'm from jersey! They think of the real housewives of NJ show and tell me I sound like them. I'm horrified when they tell me this! But then they always say "but you don't act like them or dress like them." :noway: :noway: My parents grew up in Philly. But I can't believe I sound like I'm from jersey. I need to get a vocal coach. Maybe I can learn to speak in a southern drawl.
    P.s. I'm not Italian descent. I'm Irish Hungarian.

    I'm told I have a southern accent, but to be honest, I've heard many more "true" southern accents....at any rate, I'm from Louisville, KY.

    Canadian, eh! Actually, it's not that simple, because I immigrated to Canada when I was 24 so I have a mixture of Hungarian and Romanian in my accent and no one can identify it correctly :) Most think I'm French, some guess Eastern European but no one to date guessed Hungarian because I guess having spoken Romanian since kindergarten softens the accent somewhat. Add some German and Russian in there, and it's totally confusing.... :)

    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.

    Same here and I don't pronounce most of my Hs either. English Canadian bf likes to point out my quirks and laugh...;)

    (and I recognize the King Mountain trail in your pics ;) )

    I have a hybrid of a Southern Texan twang mixed with a bit of Cali-esque Surfer accent. "Dude, I live on an Island ya'll." :wink:

    Heinz 57 english accent. But I have a question, has anyone ever had their accent mistaken for another? My accent has been mistaken for Australian :smile:

    Australian :happy:

    My favorite :love: I've been wanting to move to Australia and live/work for a year or three.

    I'm from Texas so I have a Southern draw, although it's not as thick as some folks from down here since I live in Houston and work in a professional environment, I've thinned it out some.

    I also have an English accent (I'm originally from Norfolk but have lived in London for 10 years). I have been mistaken for an Aussie many a time!

    I grew up in Washington state but have lived in Kentucky for about 18 years. I have a northwest accent (I been asked several times if I am from Canada) but confuse people when I use the term y' all. I cannot seem to break that, it is infectious...lol

    I lost my Russian accent. Sometimes people can hear the Southern accent coming out from my Texas days.
