Mine is mix of southern English and northern English. I originate from the north, but I lived and worked in London for many years before I moved to Wales 2 years ago (no sign of Welsh accent yet, but it will get there if I live here long enough I am sure!) so I am a bit "cockney" now with a definite northern twang that gets much stronger if I am with other northerners or I have had a few sherbets :drinker:
My favourite accent is a soft Southern Irish brogue0 -
Um I am from Michigan so I don't know if I have an accent but when I travel people do ask where I am from lol.
I love Australian accents0 -
Well I was born in Uganda (East Africa).....and grew up in California....I now live in South Carolina! Most of the time when I first start talking to people...I always get ....where are you from?....like I just landed from the moon. Be it London, Dubai, Kampala or Los Angeles...whatever my accent is...it always marks me as a foreigner. The funniest thing is...I don't think I have an accent....although I might be picking up a southern twang ...that twang is super contagious y'all.0

I'm from Birmingham, Alabama (born and raised for 29 years) and have lived in Michigan for 3 years (one more year to go....). People up here ask me if I am Canadian or Australian. Weird, right?0

Boston. And it gets really bad when I'm excited. Or drunk. Or mad. Or any combination of those things.
Also, I had no idea there were so many Brits floating around here till I read this thread.0 -

Isn't it though? That's the twang I get when I'm super excited about something... I start sounding like Scarlett O'Hara from Gone with the Wind.0 -
born and raised in central jersey.... but i don't have a north jersey accent i would more consider mine like a "Philly accent"0

My accent is wicked Boston!0

I have an extremely thick Scottish accent, and i LOVE a southern accent, particularly Tennessee based0

I don't really have one.. but a small Boston accent probably. My husband has a strong Boston accent. No "R"s ... not sure how he got one.. we grew up in the same town in Northern Mass
Everybody who speaks has an accent. It is true that some accents are getting harder to place regionally than others, but usually there will be a vowel pitch or length, a fricative, a plausative or some variation to the speech pattern that will give some hint to where you were brought up.
I'm a Scot from the Clyde Coast, but I lived in Yorkshire and I'm a natural linguist who now lives in East Anglia. Depending on who I'm talking with/to, my accent will change noticeably (especially if I also change language :happy:)0 -
I'm from Northern California. The only accent I have is saying "hella" all the time.0
-
Mine izzz very French. Tried to get rid of it but it does not work......0
-
Wisconsin.
So um...none? I'm not north enough to have a "Uper" accent, so...Midwestern? Hahah.
I have been known to throw out an "oh geez" every now and then, though.0 -
Apparently I sound like Kate Middleton...boarding school for 10 years did this!0
-
Southern country accent I'm from TX.0
-
I don't really have one, but I definitely catch myself speaking a Mainer dialect... it's very noticeable when you refer to someone's lawn as their "dooryard" or say "wicked" a lot.0
-
An American non-accent... No one can really place me unless I am really excited.
Me too, unless I am in NYC they can tell the Boston accent!0 -
I have a Bajan (barbadian) accent. If you've heard of Cover Drive or Rihanna...thats how i talk . And the title in Bajan would read 'wa is u accent?' lol or 'part u from?'
I have been told I sound different though, mix of other Caribbean countries, Dominica mostly (mother's origin).
My uncle from America, says it sounds like we are singing a song..with the high and lows lol
But I LOVE LOVE LOVE an irish accent, if it wasn't so far I would move there! lol0 -
I love people who say "euoprean."
As far as I'm aware, there's at least one accent from each country over there!0 -
Texan, y'all :P
*but I have a tendency to call people 'love'. Dunno where I got it from, been doing it for years.
"Hello, love..."
"Thank you, love..." etc0
