What accent do you have?

Post Reply New Topic

Northern Irish/Scottish.

Just for those who say they don't have accents, everybody has accents, lol. Just because you sound North American doesn't mean you don't have an accent to, say, someone from Europe. ;D

Which makes me wonder... A lot of people here say they love hearing European accents like Greek, English, Irish, etc. Are there Europeans or maybe even Asians, Africans, etc. who like hearing North American accents?

I have a common North Western accent. Idaho, Utah, Nevada, Wyoming, Washington kind.

I've got a mockney accent as my dad calls it

It's a mixture between a cockney and an Essex accent

^^ yeah, I tend to favor the North American accent.

I seem to have lost my Cockney accent and I have a mix of German and Canadian. I was also putting on that accent for nearly 30 years trying to impress my dad.

Years ago a boy who heard me speak asked if I was from New York. he said he was from NY and that I sounded like him.

I wonder did he mean the city or the entire state, because I've been told by other people I don't sound like a New Yorker. Maybe it was because my voice was loud?

I like the sound of Afrikaans speakers speaking English- so dignified, regal, precise.

As I live three miles across the border from England, my accent sounds English, though I am actually Welsh.

My accent is slightly Scouse.

She'll be right, mate.

Having a speech disorder apparently gives you an accent all your own.
I've been told I sound South African, English, American, Australian and European, and that's just speaking English.
I'd be interested to know what accent I'd have speaking another language. Watching polyglot videos on YouTube, someone accused the speaker of German with a Croatian accent.

some folks who have brain damage from strokes or anaesthesia accidents in surgery, etc., report recovering into wakeful consciousness but with a foreign accent.

South-East England. Sounds very similar to London.

I dont know whats wrong with me, but i don't have one, my mother is northern british (from county durham) and my father is from london (south britain) and i live and have grown up in north yorkshire my entire life YET people here ask me where im from, and i say here, and they are surprised, apparently my high school class thought i was american the whole time and just never asked if that was true, well one guy did, and i said no, thats how i found out, so apparently i have a different accent from the people im meant to have the same accent from

I was a late talker.

I have a moderate New York City accent with a Jewish flavor to it--like Woody Allen.

Not with an Italian flavor--like Robert DeNiro.

Most probably my accent is Scandinavian with soft consonats, much like in Spanish.
