Type out your accent phonetically!

I'm goin' owt an' abowt.

No. My friend, that is a blatant stereotype, and I doubt any Canadian actually says that.

A year or so ago, there was the Great Accent Thread by Furbut (If I remember correctly)

Everyone uploaded youtube videos of themselves speaking. Accents were funny. Laughs were had.

That's been done and dusted. But now I come to ask you to WRITE out your accent phonetically. Simply give us a sentence in English, then type out how it sounds when you or someone you know pronounces it

E.G.

She Moved Back to Ireland, didn't she?

Sh'moofed bak Tiyland, dintshe?

I'm going to the shops

Am goen tuther shops

Your turn!

the funny thing here is that everybody will pronounce your written words differently. thats why furburt used videos.
And yes i am sorry that i still didnt upload mine.

You have to use IPA to do it right.

aɪ laɪks fɔnətɪks

Shit, I don't even know what kind of accent I have.

I made Eggs and Toast for breakfast on Sunday

I made Eggs an Toast for breakfast on Sunday.

I'm American after all

Yep. The country with the best "Way Words Are Spelled to Way Words Are Pronounced" ratio.

I mean, we still pronounce "could" as "cuhd" instead of "co-uld" so we aren't perfect, but at least we can spell "color" properly.

 

[blankedboy]

Oee, mayte! Y'wahnt sum fush 'n' chups, broe?
(Hello there, good sir! Could I interest you in a meal of fish with a side of french fries?)

and "shop", "center", and most of all "theater"

I see so many ways that this thread could not work if you were only mildly accented if at all...

I sometimes say my Ts like Ds I guess, really I don't have much of an accent, so many different types of European blood in me that anything genetic has been blown away...

 

[reg42]

I took a nap on the grass, before I went inside

I took a nap on the graass, before I went insaade.

We don't like our vowel sounds in these parts.

but at least we can spell "color" properly.

Sorry, but the way Americans spell it, it should technically be said as "co-lor"

 

[GrinningManiac]

The car is running out in the yard


Tha Caa is runnin' out in tha yaad.

Boston accent for the win. =-D

Seen Yugioh Abridged?

"Apploy der Hanbrake ya dum brawd!"

I actually don't have a strong accent, despite being raised in the Black Country in the middle of England (the accent is apparently similar to the 'Brummie' accent of Birmingham, but with subtle differences, not least the main one whereby if you ever call a Black Country resident a 'Brummie', you will be shanked...).

That said, I will participate, using the accent I should have from my hometown, rather than the accent I do have which is oddly enough somewhat more posh.

How are you? Did you see that horse just then? Big one, isn't it?

Ow am ya? Did yow see that 'oss then? Big'un, ay it?

Funny thing: What inspired me to do this thread was my teacher commenting on how someone she knew had a Black Country accent, and instead of saying "You are doing that" she said "Yams doin' dat"

And then you went and ruined it with "Herbs"

There's a H for a reason. You don't call 'em "Amburgers" or saying "Ello" do you!?

I keed, I keed. But stop calling them Erbs, it's silly

 

[NeutralDrow]

Taip owt mai aksent phneticly?

 

[SteinFaust]

not entirely sure i have an accent, but i do say things differently, and i've been told i talk fast by my foreign relatives.

hello, how are you today?
hey, how ya doin?

and i somehow developed a slight, low-brow, british accent and syntax that only occurs when i'm angry. too many guy ritchie crime dramas i suppose.

your argument is flawed, and i wish you would desist.
piss off, you mingy little shite!

 

[Sovvolf]

Yes, I'm going down town.

Argh, am goin Daarn Taarn.

That's the Barnsley accent for you. We to replace own with arn in a good couple of words.

 

[NeutralDrow]

Shit, I don't even know what kind of accent I have.

I doneven know, either. I alrea'y type in my own speech pattern, but I ain' got a clue what an American socal accent's sppose to look like.

 

[sheogoraththemad]

prepare for the Dutch.
English: Hello My name is ..... and I like the weather
Dutch: Hallo mijn naam is ..... en het is mooi weer
My Accent: Ah goeie mien noam is ..... moooei weer toch.
