I'm not as country as this guy, but it's hard not to talk this way when you live in Western Kentucky. He lives about fifteen minutes from me - I love how people underestimate a person with a southern accent. Keep on thinking we're stupid because of the way we talk. It makes it easier for us to take you to the cleaners ;D

Almost everyone I know has an accent, except the people who live where I do, (Unless they are originally from somewheres else...)
NORTH EAST ACCENT!this is how we sound before we are drunk!

Don't have an accent in my area, unless you're someone that moved from an area that you had one in.
I speak scouse, though not broad.
Well I am not sure what kind of accent I have, most of the people in the Piedmont region of North Carolina speak with a little southern accent here and there, guys like former Gov. Mike Easley and piece of shit John Edwards are EXTREME cases of people who either try too hard to have an accent or try and polish their accent up a bit to sound dignified.
They'a = There
Own = On
Awf = Off
Supuh = Super
Seve'uh= Severe
Septembuh, Octobuh, Novembuh = September, October, November
I don't speak with much of a recognizable accent, it's probably a mixture of accents.

Something like this ;D
Good idea for a thread.
I pretty much sound like anyone else from the west coast. I don't have much (if any) Canadian accent, or so the Americans tell me. I probably sound like someone from Washington, Oregon, or California.
This is funny:

Lets say its pretty unique and takes some getting used too.Seems to vary from area to area.It gets sterotyped though.....its as much terminology as it is accent.And at times does fall along racial lines.Been here a while and still stand out in spots.
this is dated quite a bit here....early 80's and might do modern day a diservice Lol.

Howdy' ya'll:cowboy:
This is an interesting thread because if I don't think about it I just assume that everyone on here sounds like I do.
Hearing Legion on Kid Thunders radio show was fucking weird for a few seconds because he didn't sound anything like I assumed he would.

I don't have much of an accent. Well, that is a lie as everyone has an accent of some kind, but I don't really have a distinctive regional accent. I spent too much of my childhood moving region to region to ever get set into talking a set way. I suppose if anything my accent is more RP (recieved pronunciation) than anything else. My parents both have distinctive Sussex accents whilst my sister has a Yorkshire inflection. I don't have either but sometimes find my accent responding to whoever I am conversing with at the time.
I honestly never thought I had an accent, until just recently, and that everyone else did. As I have started to meet people from other places in the last year, them laughing at me while I talked and calling me a Yooper, well, that was the first tip off I might in fact have a bit of one.Quote:

I have relatives who live not far away, mere miles who are american, and any time I have visited them I couldn't ever not laugh at how rediculous it was. How goofy they sounded.Quote:

People from Buffalo speak a lot like the "Youpers", it can really throw you off
leftylee and tam seddon don't even speak english as far as i'm concerned.. i see their status and stuff on facebook and i seriously don't even understand it.. it may as well be a different language. If i wasn't at work i would be able to post some examples but facebook is blocked on my work network.
i live on the east coast of the states, in RI, and i can happily say that i don't have the typical RI/Boston accent that about 90% of them have. I pronounce my R's. ;D
hahah thats quality mate i always used to quote that like crazy.Quote:

People kinda talk like this where I live, at least people who were born here

I don't live in prison btw, just an example of the accent ;D
But, there are varying accents you'll hear round here. There's a few older white people who have accents like those in Big H's post, whilst there's also a lot of people with Carribbean & African accents.
But for people my age, it's generally like the video above. That's if they're well spoken ;D

actually the only person that has ever heard me talk is JTrock on xbox live.
