What Accent Do You Speak With?

[Arian]

It's always been interesting to me. As the title suggests, tell us what kind of accent you have, at least when you speak English, you can also declare where you're from if think it's necessary. Then we can discuss these different sounds of speech, compliment them, perhaps learn something new, etc.

 

I'll start with myself; Even though I was born and raised in Canada, I speak with an Eastern American accent, even though most everyone I know here sounds Super Canadian, and it's so cute.

 

Happy conversing.

I'm from Jamaica so my accent to americans is deep even when i am speaking standard english. However when i speak the country's native language aka Jamaican Creole aka broken english, i am extremely very hard to understand by someone born outside the Caribbean because jamaican creole is spoken very fast and parts of words especially the endings are committed when speaking.

Us Canadians all sound the same, eh?

 

Most people will have an accent similar to where they live or where their parents lived previously.

I speak jamaican patois, jamaican creole, patwa; whatever, its kind of complicated.

I'm from Michigan, so that would be a typical Midwestern accent, I guess.

The biggest giveaway, I think, is that we say words with double O's differently. Like roof and hoof usually come out more like rough and huff. It's kind of hard to explain.

Then there's the age-old pop/soda/coke argument... We say pop here.

I did have somebody recently ask me if I was from Minnesota, and when I said no, he then guessed the East Coast, so who knows. XD

I always figured that Michiganders spoke more like New Yorkers and Eastern Canadians since we're all so close together.

I've got an American accent... more specifically a Cleveland one... yeah I didn't know it existed either but I've been plenty of places where I've been informed I have a Cleveland accent, guess it is what it is.

Typical plane Illinois midwestern voice that most people say is accentless for American English.

 

Sometimes hillbilly words find their way into my vocabulary because I was raised in a farm town though.

[SenshiKeizu]

I keep shifting from Arabian to normal English.

[Arian]

You mean sometimes you speak English with an accent and sometimes you don't?

[Mizuki Himeji]

[Arian]
