what's your accent

Post Reply New Topic

I have a southernish like accent or an
oregon hick accent.

Mine's just a typical American accent. Even though I am Asian.

Californian.

Trinidad accent.

Probably fairly nasal.

bill gates' nasal whine lacking the upper crust accent and an octave deeper.

I have been told that I sometimes slip into a southern twang. I don't know why

I'm Australian and I did have an Aussie accent. However years ago (2003 I think) I started watching Doctor Who and I tried to talk English for a while, so apparantly now I have a bit of an English accent.

I have a New Zealand Māori accent.

But, having lived in Australia for over 20 years, my accent isn't as distinct as it was when I was a kid.
Aussies still think I sound like a Kiwi, though. So I'd say "mostly Māori".

I live in WA Australia, but because I'm an immigrant I have an ESL accent. I don't have that typical accent that most people from my country usually have because I have been following the dictionary very diligently. Although I do sound like a foreigner, you would understand me very easily if you heard me speak.

My accent is not stereotypical of my location.

I apparently sound very European and I am often asked when i immigrated here to Australia. Most people assume that i am Either German or Swedish due to how i articulate myself as well as my looks.

Southern,but not Deep South,more hillbilly.

Just plain old American. I sound like a newscaster accent-wise. People used to ask my mother, "How come yew didn't teach yore lil gurl ta tawk raht?" I have spent my whole life in the Deep South.

It's called "Glaswegian" i.e. from the Glasgow area (example - Gerard Butler) but I modify it depending on who I'm talking to.

I'm from Southern Nevada, born and raised there. Many times people have thought I was Canadian from how I spoke. I now live in the Great Lakes area, and it's amusing how often this now occurs. People have questioned my nationality on how I speak. I've only had one person place my accent from Nevada. And this is weird to me because it's the urban part of Nevada which is the Vegas area, which is so intermixed that it doesn't have an accent of its own.

I do not speak with an accent, but whenever I have I cold, I often sound like I'm British or Scottish.
