What do people assume about you from your accent/dialect?

[PyroChamber]

According to the quiz I'm got The midland, I've saying pop for years so I guess it IS a midwest thing.

I've always wondered what people in other countries think an "American accent" sounds like.

This is why I've learned to fake Canadian and Estuary accents. I'm working on my Welsh, but it keeps coming out Jamaican.

I personally love screwing with girls heads at the bar by hitting on them in a scottish accent...then dropping it the next time I see them...its hilarious...

i have a pretty deep voice. i never really developed a thick southern accent living in TN.

but mostly it's not my voice people ask about.

Salaam, little sis! Where you born in TN?

Salaam, little sis! Where you born in TN?

salaam feek.

yeah i was. i think a big part of how i didn't develop the accent was when i moved to saudi when i was 6 and came back when i was about 9.

Well, most women are suckers for an accent, especially if it's european.

People in my own region ask me where am I from,kind of makes me not want to talk too much. It's mostly when I'm at work or in the city that I get that. Apparently, I speak white and folks make a million assumptions from that.


What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Inland North

You may think you speak "Standard English straight out of the dictionary" but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying questions like "Are you from Wisconsin?" or "Are you from Chicago?" Chances are you call carbonated drinks "pop."

Not!

The South

The Northeast

The Midland

Philadelphia

The West

North Central

Boston

You sellout.


I have proper grammar, but people can still tell that I'm black. You know that deep vocal tone a lot of black guys have, I just can't escape it.

O when I'm pissed there is no doubt.

I come from Birmingham, 15 minutes from where Ozzy Osbourne used to live....need I say more about stereotypes of my accent?

 

[CyberFaust]

philli

[mightiest_mortal]

Wouldn't really say i had much of an accent, but ive moved round the country so much ive picked up parts of different dialects.

I say faar too many Essex-isms these days

 

[punishermax]

That I'm from Wisconsin, and probably own those speckled cows.

They are half right. I'm from Wisconsin, but I don't own cows, I do work on a farm though.

I have a midland accent, however I've been told by several people I sound kinda like I'm from California. I've lived in Texas my whole life. Most of my family have southern accents.

Sometimes I have a tendency to enunciate more than most do which is kind of New England-ish, I think.

 

[Fred_Fury]

people assume "hey you're not from the south or the north east"

 

[Halcohol]

I think I come off as happily ******ed because of my Western Canadian accent. I've noticed since I've moved to Calgary that I tend to say "howdy" and "ain't" a lot more... which bothers me.

 

[LadyVader]

They think that I grew up in the US or that I watched too many cartoons growing up. The latter being true only in part.

There is no such thing as TOO many cartoons.

 

[CyberFaust]

if there is you reached the limit..but i'm not one to talk

If I'm being deadly serious, you all sound like idiots to Non-United Staters.

Whats weird is how I was BORN in Texas and my family is Southern yet George W. Bush was born in Connecticut and his family is from there and he has a southern accent thar rivals Foghorn Leghorn(different kind though) while I don't at all.
