West Style,,,, Dude.

What American accent do you have? Your Result: The West   Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech. Unless you're a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent. And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta.

If you speak, you inherently have an accent: even if people think that one's got no accent (or a non-accent, or whatever), the fact is that everyone's got an accent. The supposed neutrality or non-existence of one's accent is political, not linguistic.

It's just naive to think you don't have an accent

I've got what I consider to be a neutral accent.

Most Brits I meet think I spent some time in American while the Americans I've met think I spent some time in Britain.

Whereas back from I'm from, Singaporeans think I speak with an 'overseas -educated Hong Kong' accent while in Hong Kong, I'm told I speak with an 'overseas-educated Singaporean' accent, which would be spot on, except that my accent wasn't affected by my time in London.

On another note, I speak French with a French-enough accent and Mandarin with a slight British accent.

Go figure!

My accent is is a mix of Manchester, Wigan and Bolton ( North West England )

I pronounce Right as " Reet "

Horrible as " Orrible "

plus i don`t pronouce " The " when speaking so " im off to the shop " would sound like " im off t`shop "

Fucking lazy speaking or what

Hahahahahaha its alrite tho, my ex lady lived in Norwich and i would go down there bout twice a month, god, it was hard work because they couldn`t understand me whatsoever, i had to speak really slow and pronouce words properly.

On our nights out around Norwich City Center i would get really funny looks of the bar staff when ordering a drink and people asking me whats my accent and where am i from, got the impression that not many northerners go around them areas

From my experience southerners talk really, really, really slow hahahaha and i carn`t stand the scouse accent " Ey Ey mate calm down like eeeeee am eatin mi beargur like "

Suppose " going for a walk " around here would be a " trek, gooch, mission, mooch, wonder or mooch " plus i dont say my " H " in words like
House will sound " Ouse " etc etc

I like some American accents tho

I was born and raised in Baltimore...

Where in most parts my city is pronounced like its said....in Maryland, the "T" is silent...and sounds like Balimur

i do not know much about regional uk accents...

i don't have an accent, unless i pick it up from someone else...sometimes when i'm drunk i'll pick it up...lol

ahaha you say pudding funny, not funny but in a cute way.

We speak pigeon here in Hawaii...broken english.

Pigeon: "Ho cuz, you stay going to the beach li dat? SHOOOOOOOOOOTS BU!"

Translation: Good day sir! Having an excursion to the beach are we? That's fascinating!"

Originally posted by Frenchie HA! Well imo French accents aren't hot, regardless of how hot the person who has the accent is. It's just brutal. If you're speaking French you usually sound really nice, but once you switch over to the English language, lord have mercy on your ears.

Don't get me started on Quebecois French.

Most of the time only words I can understand is tabarnac and colisse

But my dear Frenchie, you have the cutest accent now, ever since you learned to speak civilized

As for me, standard Canadian eh. Well, most of the time... Sometimes I do clip some of my words so they sound disjointed instead of flowing.

I think I dont have a strong NY accent, and I have been told that, but I also have been told that it is strong. Go figure. It comes out when I drink.

Thanks Yohan! lol

My native language is Dutch/Flemish (the Dutch speaking part of Belgium), and i speak a dialect that's called "Limburgs", the main dialect that's spoken in Limburg (one of the provinces), where i live ofcourse.

It's a bit of a mixture dialect, lots of influences from German, French and the Dutch spoken in Holland
For example, we use "ich" from German (instead of "ik" in Dutch), some of you may know what i mean

I think i have a non regional english accent, i.e. i dont have the crazy twangs that some do. Tho when im pissed i occasionally slip into a slight scouse accent.

What is the most prominent? Dutch, German or French? I had a Flemish teacher in uni that taught German.

+1...though there's a touch of Chicagah in there every so often.
