    Alright, WE KNOW IT HAD TO BE DONE SOON FRIENDLIES.

    Only some of us have been on teamspeak with each other, and that was some time ago.

    Also you are surrounded by everyone who has similar accent to you.


    SO, what i want in this thread, is what kind of accent you have (obviously).

    What makes it differ from others?

    And examples how it sounds (youtube, soundwave, etc)

    and if saying, if you would of chose a different accent, would you?


    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



    As for me i have a "Washington" accent. Which people categorize into "West coast, or Californian" which is somewhat incorrect. If you listen to our accents, its very "Straight" and plain. We are considered the basis of language of "English." Typically news announcers are from north west area, and do a great job. We enunciate all our words and can say merry and marry differently. There are a couple of Washington comedians which i find funny because their delivery of jokes is based on their voice, which is usually easy to pull off with a Washington accent.


    ALSO WE SAY POP.

    LOLOLOL FUCKING CHRIST SEMEN, GODDAMN MADE ME CHUCKLE SO MUCH :>

    + 9, even though I was born in Nebraska I've never ever had an accent. In fact, most people in Nebraska do not have southern-ish accents. SOME near the Iowa and South Dakota accent have a Dakota-Minnesota accent...which is pretty funny.

    I sound like a sexy husky lady and do indeed pronounce "merry" and "marry" differently as well. I say soda, although when I lived in Nebraska I said pop. I carry some California slangs in my repatriere such as a constant use of the word "hella". I also cuss a goddamn shit ton and I'm not particularly ashamed to do so.

    well im from romania... but i dont have an accent i lost it learning english through ESL classes and growing up since i was so young. ive always been told i had a northern accent when i moved down here to tx...

    for some reason the pronounciation of boston(also upnorth) lead to everyone thinkin i talked like that too (BAWSTON) but idk where that even came from. i dont talk like that

    ummmm i say yall since ive moved to tx but thats just a southern slang word not so much an accent, i dont really have much of any accent, wish i still had my romanian accent tbh

    I have no fucking clue how differently I speak. I don't leave this area much, but most people in the south county area talk Fellowish with "dawg" and such. Go a little bit south from here, the majority of people have a hickish accent with slurred words etc. I've caught myself talking like that on very little occasions, usually when I'm pissed off, but usually I speak normal, fluent English with excessive cursing. It's hard for me to go a sentence without tossing in a curse word, not because I want to be cool or that I'm angry, but it's just second nature to me now. So go fuck yourself.

    In wisconsin We have a thing with certain words containing an "A" we prolong our A

    example

    1. bag- you may say it like you would say "bat" but just replace the T with a G. We say beg. - like you would beg for your life

    2. magnum- you might again say it like above just replaceing letters, but we say it like "maygnum"

    3. faggot - we say it like a person would say hey to a person example would look/sound like feygit.

    I'm from sourthing WI, we don't have that much of an accent, northern WI is another story. it's even hard for me to describe. Just go on youtube for northern accents.

    We also call bratwurst "brats" but not as in the term used for kids. it's still pronounced the same way, just shorter.

    btw, you assholes stop saying "drinking fountain" or what ever you call that bs you drink from. we invented the fucking thing and we named it the bubbler.
