Type out your accent phonetically!

[Halceon]

I'd love to, but apparently the Escapist doesn't support the full unicode table with IPA.

 

[Raykuza]

"No accent?" "Phonetically neutral?" Ha! The definition of an accen' (some of us Americans don't enunciate our T's) is a mode of pronunciation characteristic of a particular localidy or group. Even if you claim your localidy or group to be phonedicly neutral, that very neutralidy IS your accen'.

Woohoo! I'm hooked on phonics!

 

[Stickwell]

I talk the same way things are spelt... So I don't really need to be in the thread.

I expect you have an american accent then.

ahi-expect yew avn amerecan acsnt thun.

Thas ah prapper jaaaaaaab acsnt that is!

One natural-born American from New-York actually said I have a Cambridge accent ...whatever That meant.

He may have meant you sound like you are from Cambridge. Although it's mostly students from all over the country there, so there isn't necessarily a local accent. He probably meant you sound English and posh.

I'm going out and about.

Canadian.

Then wouldn't it be "oot" and "aboot"?

No. No Canadian has ever said "Oot" and "Aboot" because those are stereotypes. I laugh every time I hear it though. (But "eh" is very Canadian)

That is more or less what I'd say. I tend to truncate a few words here and there, and from time to time will join two words that probably need not be joined (Probably as a result of having been raised in north Texas), but that particular sentence doesn't really have any of it.

Phonetically I suppose it would read:

I meyd egs ahn tohst fohr brek-fuhst ohn suhn-day.

[edit]
I checked and found that my phonetic spelling is eerily similar to those provided by the dictionary I have.

Dude, be quiet, stop humiliating yourself.

I have to ask, how long have you been waiting to use that word?

Anyway, my accent.

I'm going to just take a walk down to the shops.

You're quite pretty

Ya know, you ain' to bad fuhra women.

You guys aren't even trying(the first three)! I can say with certainty that EVERYONE has an accent. Know why? You're all saying that "I'm American, I have no accent", but my English-accented friend says the same thing, and there's definate differences

I can say that I've heard a lot of Americans pronounce their Ts as Ds. E.G. "Du Unided Sdates of Amare-ica"

Just say something aloud as if it were in a conversation (not deliberate and slow, but quickly like you were speaking to someone) and see what the noises out of your mouth actually are

The problem is that the mainstream American dialect (Californian accent, which has been marketed to the majority of Americans through media, and is thus the one we use by and large) is very phonetic as is. So those guys are actually doing what you asked them, provided that is the dialect that they speak. I'll humor you, though. I'm from Massachusetts and grew up with a thick Boston accent, which I promptly lost upon moving to the West coast as a teenybopper (somewhat tragically I think.)

(I'll be back in an hour)

Ull be bahck inan aua.

... Yeah, it was... Fairly thick.
