its just one of those things you dont realy think about isnt it? heres all of us weirdos typing our lives away and none of us has the slightest idea what each other sounds like! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yep. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, it's not hard to guess an accent if you know where they're from. I myself am Canadian, but, NEEDLESS TO SAY, I have no accent. (that is to say, my speech is no different than that of an American's) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Watered down Americanerism for me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yep you might be from canada but theres surely got to be some differance in speech through out canada perhaps as you go from town to town? local dialects n stuff? |
||||||||

I am quite lacking in any discernable accent (apart from what you Americans etc. would term "British"), despite having lived in Wales all my life. Welsh and English people have great difficulty placing my accent. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's interesting though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

yep me too im originaly from the west country in the uk and should be talking like a cider swigging yokel but my parents are from ireland and germany and all of my friends are all from other parts of the country so my accents pretty random too! |

My accent is that of dachtylic hexametry. |
||||||||

mr jedi chris is it totaly full on from the valleys welsh though! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's not though, even people in England don't assume I'm Welsh. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What? Ceri's accent? No....but welsh nevertheless. There's nothing worse than real welshy welsh....it's horrid! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
So what's your music like then, Ceri? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I can tell your accent leans more towards welsh than english. |

BILL GATES CAN'T DIE! Besides.. I'm not bill gates.. I'm his sockpuppet. |

there is definitely a different accent in Newfoundland from the rest of Canada... and it sounds stupid and dumb, really... no wonder we are looked upon as the dumb part of Canada... |
||||||||
|
|

||||||||

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

yes, bye, I talks like dis when I wants to. Ting is, I gotta be amongst udders who talks like dis, too, erelse i just talks like a townie from de city, by. eh by? well, maybe my accent is not that extreme, (Funkmaster's might be, tho...) but I do say some words with quite the accent. example: Phone. I say something like fo-an. hard to type it phonetically, but it's something like that. and the word Bag: Bayg. and In: Een. and I writes "s" after first person singular verbs. That's the way I talks, by. |

that's a damn good impression man... although my accent isn't very thick... Some people here though, my goodness, I can hardly understand what they say, and I've lived here all my life... |

people really struggle to understand me here in Amsterdam, i realize half way through talkin to someone and have to slow my speech and speak clearer. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I have a quasi-posh south-east-London/Kent accent. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i suppose i have a french-alsatian accent... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

"quasi-posh" haha what a great word, sounds like a kids fruit drink!! |

I've always received a surprised look when telling people in England that I'm from the nation of sheep molesters. "Oooh, you haven't got an accent" is the response I always get. Basically I toned it down to a non-regional accent to fit in with a middle class environment when I went to university. I wanted to sound wealthier, more cultured and intelligent and cover up my working class roots. I loath the working class and their vulgar accents. |
||||||||

unsurprisingly, I speak the classic tarzan english. But funny enough, the more I speak it, the more I mangle it. On saturday I spent a whole day with an american and a swedish lady and had to speak almost nothing but english and in the morning I sounded almost decent but by 5 p.m. it was as if I was from the west indies or something... |

I always piss my panties when I hear my mum on the blower (cockney folks). Her voice suddenly changes when its put next to a telephone speaker. Anyone else's mum suddenly become a member of the Windsor family when they're on the phone? |
||||||||

ah, no actually, it's the other way 'round here, my dad (a respected uni professor an' all that) starts speaking like he's just left his sheep a moment ago and yells for another shepherd on a nearby hill to hear him. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My dad shouts down the phone. He calls his mother (who only lives in the council estate over the road - yes my dad climbed the social scale a little) and I often wonder why he doesn't walk into the garden and just shout across the road. |

posh londoner. sorry. |
