| Ultimate Potterite Original original I don't really know what kind of accent I have. I mean, I live in the New Jersey New York area of the USA. I mean, I don't have a New York accent...I don't say "cawfee" for "coffee"...so, I honestly don't know. |

It always surprises me when people say they like French accents...
Well, since I have a french accent, it doesn't really bother me but... French people who talk "like zis" annoy me... Most of them do it on purpose.

I have an all-American accent.  No southern or anything. I find it a bit boring, though. I'd love to have a British or Irish accent. |

I've got a Dutch accent.  By the people from my country I can immediately be recognised as a southerner because my accent differs from the accent you hear in the big cities. Still I try to keep my accent down to a minimum and seeing as I've been taught to use a British accent my way of speaking English is a rather interesting mix of accents!

i have what is known as a Valley Accent. this refers to the Ottawa Valley, and not Sun Valley, or any other Valley that people typically associate with phrases like, "like omigod! no way!"
The Ottawa Valley is a mix between English and French people, Anglophones have a thick accent that is a little Scottish, a little Irish, a little Acadian and a little Southern. You'd have to hear it to really know what I'm talking about. Rather than a different accent, the Francophones in the valley typically speak another language, besides french, called joual which is a very ineligant mix of french, english, and profanities in both languages. It's not the accent that mixes people up when they listen to them, it's usually the pace. true that most french people, no matter what type of french they speak, speak quickly, but joual is particularly fast and incoherent. i speak english and french, with the accent of the valley in my english, french with a french accent, and sometimes a little joual creeps into my french, though i try not to let it.
why can't i ever answer a question with a single sentence?

But I can mimic a really good american (I've been told I sound like I'm from Kansas) accent so if I'm feeling that way inclined I just talk like that to strangers lol!

Mostly English. I speak Spanish, too, so I have a Spanish accent when I do that. I can do a pretty good Brit accent and am working on my Irish one (is it true that UK and Ireland natives can tell when you're faking?) and New Yorker accent ("Fagheddabout it!" Lol). I live in the beautiful Old Dominion (aka Virginia  ), USA, which is technically a northern state according to the North-South boundaries in the Civil War. But my mother was born here and insists she's southern. She'll talk to me in a regular accent, but when she talks to her mom (born in NC) she's "rill" Southern. It's weird.
Anyways....yes, my point is, I have an English accent.
