My accent is seriously mixed up. I'm originally from Wales area but I have no wayyy a Welsh accent, even being half Welsh and all! I live in Gloucestershire so you'd expect my accent to be standard British but it's not! I have a slight Californian twang, even though I have no idea where that came from! All my friends think I'm part American or something but I'm nottt!!! :P I suppose I have a teensy speck of Welsh in there but it doesn't really come out. At one point I went REALLY Bristolian like Hagrid and that was WEIRD! I was totally freeked out! Also, I use American phrases like 'vacation', 'candy', 'elevator' and 'cookie'. Can't explain why, I just do! |
Amazingly enough..Being from Texas..I have none..Never have..:P |
My accent is middle eastern with a tins of english to it and some american. People have said my accent is pretty sophisticated, and a rather particular person have said it's sexy and exotic. I just think it's an accent you can't classify. |
Accent...well, for a Malaysian, they say I don't sound like one (Which is gooood!). I grew up with my mima who taught me english first...so my english is 'clean' as my teacher told me. But I fake a brit accent easy =P |
I don't have much of an accent. But if you listen closely, you might be able to detect a very slight hint of a southern drawl. This is because I am originally from Virginia (something very few people know!) |
I have your typical London accent. A cockney accent. I dont think its very attractive.. |
English isn't my first language.I do speak fluent English,though..not to seem..um..PROUD here or something...ahem *stretches neck in a very proud way* XD I usually have this British accent when I speak (the London one I THINK).But I can do an American one also. It kinda depends on my mood.Weird,I know. |

Well, I have an American accent, but it's mixed with a tiny bit of southern. |
I don't think I have an accent since I'm a Filipino. Here in our hometown, we used to speak American english language but we don't actually adapt their accent, still the Filipino accent as they say. But I always love to speak and sound like a British one. The way the speak is so divine (on my opinion). If I sometimes mimic the way British people speak, my friends say i'm really good in mimicking the British accent and it seems like i'm one of them. |
Mostly Hick... =P Download the latest Podcast for more details =P |
Canadian. Proudly Canadian. :) |
I have a total American english accent and proud of it :) I'm on the westside, I don't know if they talk any different then the rest of America :blink: |
American |
I speak with a British accent. Received Pronunciation. Though when I'm just chatting away it gets a bit more laidback and cockney I suppose. I can do an American accent too but it sounds like a British person putting on an American accent most of the time. haha. And English isn't even my first language. |
Definately notice my own Aussie accent. Though sometimes my Dad's Kiwi side kicks in and I'll say 'thet' or something along those lines. Really quite random as he doesn't have a Kiwi accent and I've never actually lived there. |
I have an Australian accent - but not the stereotyped one, I'm from South Australia, we kind of sound like a cross between Australian and English. |
I don't really have an accent. In fact I don't have one @ all. I live in the States near DC. But I can put on a British (cuz of our dear Harry Potter) and probably any other one a person can think of if I hear it first |
Mine's mixed, since I have international heritage. You can tell I'm English, because the main two are Black Country (the area surrounding Birmingham, but not quite Brummie) and Cockney (my Nan), and then there's Welsh (but only when I speak Welsh, which is unfortunately often), Spanish (my Dad's Dad is Spanish, and lives in Seville) and American (my Dad's Mum). Yurp, it is loooooong. But when I sing, you can just hear English (probably Cockney) and Spanish. |
Im from the states so I dont really have much of an accent I suppose. |
erm..............not sure, changes sometimes :P |
Mostly English, with a tinge of Scots. When the mood takes me I can go the full Scotsman. |
Maddey gets the really complicated, international, cool accent and I'm stuck with the English/Welsh accent. :arg: |
I have an American accent, but I sometimes have a Jamaican accent and I have a british accent im trying for a scottish and irish accent i have a texan accent too |
I'm from the states so I really don't have accent, but I can do loads different accents for some reason. |
I've got the generic American accent. Though according to some people, I say "water" kinda funny. |
|
I kinda have a mix of Canadian and American (accent). I lived in the States and picked up a fair amount of words... mainly using soda. I used to say `pop` the entire time, but I got used to hearing soda I started using that... And the whole `abaot` pronounciation of `about` and small things like that. More Canadian now tho :D (since it`s been 3 years since moving back to Canada...) |
My accent is " Brummie " which is the name of the accent that people have from the Birmingham area of England :) like me |
I have a midwest accent...according to a California lady we met on vacation there 2 years ago. |
central american accent...i'm from texas, but i definitely DON"T have what you would call a 'texan' accent. i loveee people with australian and british accents. *drools* |
just american...how boring. |
southern USA accent...i guess you northernors would call it a "hillbilly" accent..*grumbles* hate it...i can do a really good british accent though... and yes "yal" is a daily word for us... |

Same here - do you say it "wudder"? :lol: I think you've captured my answer pretty well. Most of the time, I've got the common American accent but, if I'm around people from Northern New Jersey or from New York, I feel my accent get thicker and more New Joiseyan, lol. I love it, though! |
is this my actual accent or accents that i can flawlessly imitate?:shifty: i have a "standard american" accent but i can imitate standard british, cockney, and liverpool. |
speaking of how i say water, i pronouce it "wada" none of us down here say any ers.... |
^ I have kind of a Mainer accent. We say things like Wicked, and Cah (Car) and just somewhat bad gramatical correctness. |
I sincerely have no idea. I suppose I should have Czech accent, since I'm Czech, but somehow I really don't. One of my friends told me that I sound Irish. |
i don't have any idea...though i do have the knack of imbibing other people's accents...:P |
i have a midwestern american accent, so i say "almost" like "olmost" and fun stuff like that. |
English, but I can do American too. So it depends on my mood I guess. |
English Accent, but not common. I can do many though Welsh, American and more :) |
I'm German, so I can do zis evill German var machine Hollywood-style accent wizout any TH in it, jawoll, but I rarely do it because it's pretty silly. So, in conversation: British, as much as I can manage. |
Aalreet, I have a geordie accent (English). Although people always say I sound scottish.. :madeye: |
I have a Scottish accent, I'm from Edinburgh so I don't think it's too strong but it probably is to someone who isn't from here. |

wasn't it hard to learn two languages simultaneously, though? i know i would mix them up:p |
haha. This is awesome! I have a Canadian accent baby! XD I have a little bit of the Europe accent too, but not majorly. |
Caribbean, British, American accent. I do a little bit of Aussie and I try Canadian. Mmmm I do Indian too. |
i mainly have a midwest american accent, but i picked up a bit of bostan and all of the different types of brittish accents when i was over in Washington, D.C. |
mainly American. but I've been told I have a slight British accent. probably because I do so much acting with British accents |
Well,I basically dunno wat accent I hav. I probably have a clear accent,since I'm Asian! |
ERR... I'm not entirely sure if I have an accent anymore. Well, I'm Mexican...and speak English (since I live in America) but I dropped the Spanish accent when I was little because I was made fun of in school mercilessly. Does that make any sense? HMMM. |
Boston. Paahk the caah in Haahhvaad Yaahhddd!!!! |
Kiwi (New Zealand) accent. I used to have a really thick Filipino accent up until 7th grade when I started hanging out with this guy who knew no Filipino, so I got a passable American accent. Then we moved to NZ and everyone thought I came from America, but I adapted the New Zealand accent right way. Fush and chups! |
I live in upstate New York, near Rochester. Since I don't really know how to describe a Rochester accent, I'll let Wikipedia do it for me: Quote:
|
American!!!!! |

You should have told them you can at least speak 2 languages! |
apparently i sound American when I say American or Million..... I've never even been to America though :lol: |
I developed a British accent because I have lots of British friends...Though I've never been to London. |
Okay I was looking through here and i saw people saying they sound American, well thats kinda impossible unless you chose a specific kind of section through the US. Like I'm from Wisconsin, where we have a Wisconsin or Mid-west accent because we make words like slurr together like say you are going to tell your friend,"I'm going to the store" we'd say,"Imgointathestore." Or like,"What are you doing that for"and we say,"Watchyadointhatfor." Its funny cuz it all goes together and its like one word. |
I guess I have a Pittsburgeese accent. I'm not as bad as some people though. I've occasionaly spoken with a Brittish accent because of our current play (Alice in Wonderland)/ my obsession of Sweeney Todd. |
Yorkshire! (UK) Most people think of Yorkshire accets as a 'common' British accent but its really not. Just cause were not posh. And no American people, I dont talk like most Americans think all British people. To be honest I think its only the queen who is acctually that posh. Im not pst at all! No being offensive to Amercans at all btw. I love America. Ive been 5 times! |
Most people think I have a Californian Accent. But I never have been there. |
I actually can have a pretty good accent from everywhere. I can do a good southern American accent, an Ohioian accent and a Pennsylvania dutch accent mainly because I've been there throughout my life. I also can do a pretty good British accent and a good french and spanish accent if I speak the language. I also have a slight Purto Rican accent with some words do to my high school musical last year, I had to play a purto rican girl. So yeah, I can do a lot of different accents even if I haven't left the USA. |
i don't know really. I mean most people from an eastren part in the USA have this hick or hillbillyish sound but im actually more proper than most people in that part, kinda like ohio people. |
I have a Canadian accent, though my friends swear that I have an accent between a US Mid-West accent and a New York accent. :lol: |
I don't think I have an accent. And if I do, it's not strong enough for anyone to ever mention it. |
With me being from Nottinghamshire in England, mine is a midlands accent. Within England, most people can't notice my accent save a few words (e.g bath and grass), however, when with family, I do slip into Brum and Manc. |
With me hailing from New Jersey, I have been told that i have a strong "Joisey accent". As described by wikipedia: Quote:
|
I have a british accent, as i live there, but its not proper british, like the queen or a londoner. Im from up north in yorkshire, so its proper broad. heres some words they say in my town- Watter- water babbie- baby Traazers- trousers Taarn- Town ;) |
i have a Texan (european) accent i grew up in germany, and then moved to Texas:) |

I have a Southern English accent :D :woot: I can do an atrocious American one though ;) |
Well, I am from Denmark, but when I speak english, I try to sound as british as possible, because I think that british is soo cool 8) |
I'm from Arkansas, so I have a southern accent. And no, I don't sound hick. I don't dress hick, either. Some people think that just because some people are from the southern US means we dress in overalls, go barefoot, and ride our horse to school. Just thought I'd clear this up that we don't :) |

I hate it how people judge you by where you come from. Like my friends who are Molly (thats just a coinsidence)and Shannon they are from Maryland.They also have a little brother, Shay, and Shannon and Shay sound like NYers and Molly at first sounds like she moved from England. I have a Nyers accent but kinda not like a Brooklyn one just a typical NYers accent. |
I have a slight Midwestern US accent, but for the most part it fits into the generic, newscaster "accent-free" version of American English. Of course, to an outsider English speaker, I have an American accent... |
English accent. |
I don't have an accent but sometimes I say my 'R's in Hebrew. |
Accent free most of the time, but when I am around my Nona and my Italian family I pickup their accent and when I am around my moms family it's Scottish...I sounded really funny when I was little. |
Well, I wouldn't consider it an accent.. as it'sjust how I and all the people that live around me talk.. But, I guess you could say I have a Minnesooootan accent ;) Apparently we tend to talk fast, and slur our words together. At least thats what my relatives from California say when I go out there. They tell me to slow down a lot. Although, thankfully I don't say 'pop'. I acutally shudder when I hear other people say it, which sucks, 'cause this entire state says it. Ugh!! |
I have an aussie accent. Its so funny when people try to do an australian accent because they make us out to be bogans (look it up.) :) I love how people think we have kangaroos in our backyards because guess what, we don't and yes we wear singlets and shorts but its because its hot here most of the time. |
My Cousin lives in Australia and i love her accent although i love British accent... when i speak usually it's american accent... |
Canadian Accent!! <3 :) |
I have an American accent. I don't think it really has a name. Northeastern, maybe? |
Hahaha I have a Jamaican/American accent.. People think we live in coconut trees and that we always say 'Yeh Mon' and 'No Problem Mon' :lol: We actually dont. |
Portuguese :P we have 3 main accents here: the south, the north and the center. I got the center accent ;) the one from the city But when I speak english, I know I have a slitght accent. My friends calls it 'Edinburgh accent', although I don't really agree. I've never been to Scotland. It's not british accent, though.... I love british and irish accents! |
I have an american accent (not like a texan one, i'm from socalifornia... i don't speak like a valley girl, though!) I can also do a pretty good hispanic accent because I'm 1/2 mexican ;) |

I have an American accent; note: NOT an NY accent. :D |
I have a pretty Cuban accent and I'm not good at doing other accents. Maybe an American one if I really wanted to. |
I have an American accent. It's slightly Southern even though I don't live in he South. |
There are tonnes of British accents ( we dont all talk the same ) I have a Brummie accent ( From the city of Birmingham ) , which is British .... |
Um...I have an accent from the D.C area...I don't live there but I used to. And if you have REALLY good ears you can hear some aussie. |
I have a southern accent, as in American from the south....but it is subtle. When I speak to Yankees, that would be folks from the North, after about 5 mins I subconciously imitate them. My husband has an Irish accent and my daughters pronounce about 25% of their worlds w/ his accent. Quote:
