Whats your accent?

[Jewpacabra]

What do you get when you have a guy of British descent, and then talk to him with British, German and Italian accents? My accent, which is Irish-American-Australian. (Im Aussie) it funny coming through the airport and being asked when im going back to America

It's funny, I never really thought I had much of one, but I was chatting with someone in the break room the other day (from a different company) and commented that I was originally from the Northeast (United States) and he immediately asked if I was from Jersey. I'm not, I'm from the suburbs of Philadelphia, but he was darned close. So I guess I have some kind of recognizable accent.

Western Canadian, sort of like a combination of Canadian and Mid West American accents.

Speaking German, British and Italian to you gave you a bit of an Irish accent?

No, see, half of my family is pure bred British, and the other half is German and Italian. And i was practically raised by my grandparents during my formative years (0-6), until i started school and my parents remembered they had a son. Because of those accents always spoken around me when i was learning to talk i now have the weird accent.

General American accent here- although I've noticed something incredibly interesting:

People I talk to very often seem to think I'm from the British Isles from the way I talk. This isn't my accent that does this- I don't have a British accent, not in the slightest (although I could try)...

What is it that does this?

I have a nonregional American accent.

I'm from Boston so I guess my accent would be "slightly retarded"

Scottish, aye?

Backwater Canadian, alot of 'eh's and slurring of words together. I watch my 'ain't's though.

Where are you from in this vast Northern land? North Ontario and Newfoundland are the only places I know of where you'd get a "backwater" Canadian accent. Otherwise you speak like an Americanadian (Sask, Alberta, BC) or a Torononian (Taranta anyone?) or a non newfie East Coaster (psuedo Irish inflections)

To anybody above beirmingham you'd sound like a toff, haha

I'm from Leeds, in Yorkshire. Ee bah gum! Some people consider the tyke accent it's own language, and sometimes you can see why. Northerners and Scots sometimes have to be subtitled on TV their accents are so strong. Makes you proud, it does

Norwegian one, like the extremly well-speaking rally driver Petter Solberg.
