For the most part I have a normal American midwestern accent, but I have been told that I also have a faint American Indian accent mixed in, especially when I spend a lot of time with others of American Indian descent. Then I pick it up even more.

I'm a Newfoundlander, so everyone assumes we have the whole "Eh b'y. Whadda ya goin' at tonight" kind of accent. But actually, I don't really have one. I sound like the people from ontario or BC do, yay fore not being a typical Newfie!

New York accent I guess. However, I tried out for my school play last week, and I had to talk and all of a sudden I started talking in an English accent! I don't know where it came from (the play didn't even take place in England). I wish I had an Irish accent. that would be fun

I have an southern Alabama accent. I'm a southern Boy. Although at work they try to make us sound like we don't have an accent because I'm an operator and we have to sound "professional".

Southern. Some people think it's cute, but I'm not thrilled with it since I don't live in "the south" anymore and most people hear it and assume you're: dumb, inbred, hick, backwoods, etc. Oh, and they also assume you must listen to country music. I hate that!

I have an Indian accent....well it keeps changing. When i speak to foreigners my accent kinda adapts to theirs!
and when i speak to my friends i keep putting in a lot of tamil(its a language) phrases wherever i think they should go in...
my accent isn't fuly indian though..actually its kind of a mix of whoever i meet and relate to for more than a week. for example i meet someone who doesn't live in india and i keep talking to them. they do the same to me. then i subconsciously change the way i say a word to the way they change theirs. suddenly the person goes away and i still talk like them. Some weird metamorphosis....
thank you all for listening to this boring lecture/speech/words of wisdom/useless information. *bows low*

In Spain.. I have Andalusian accent (I just have invented this word xDD) It's... the worst accent that you find in Spain. We speak faster than the rest of Spain and we usually join words (in pronuntation xD).
However, I don't know what accent I have in English ^^UUUU

I don't think Trinidadians have accents, our main language is english. I'm learning spanish, french and I used to learn hindi. I'm sticking with my english though.

Well, it's plain anyways.
Compared to other canadians, manitobans don't really have an outstanding accent.
But I like it that way.
I also like English and Irish
