Whats Your Accent

[little.09]

normal Australian accent unless im at work then its whatever i feel like. (my favorite is watching peoples reaction when i put on a Jamaican accent because im a pasty white kid)

Well, I don't use my accent where I live right now, northern Germany is pretty much accent-less. (Yes, there is Plattdeutsch, but that's not an accent, but a different language altogether.)
However, when I visit my family and friends over the holidays I quickly revert to my moderately heavy Hessian accent... always good to be home.

I'm Aussie, but cause I hang out with a guy from England, I've started speaking with a slight english accent, which goes into overboard when teling jokes or sarcasim

I should have a southern English accent, and I do to a certain extent. However, I apparently have a 'twang' such that people often think I have an Australian or South African Accent.

I personally don't hear it, but its been said too many times to be a coincidence.

Plain old west coast American. Pretty much the no frills English. Sure we lack verbal panache, but at least there's no mistaking what we say from 'round those parts.

I have a rather plain northern English accent. Basically, i sound like people from Manchester or Birmingham, Cheshire and the Midland's who don't particularity have much of an accent anyway. When put against a southerner though, i sound rather northern, and its then that i really notice the accent differences.

Ah dun 'ave an accent hurr hurr
Seriously, I speak 'Amsterdams' Dutch and speak English fluently (without that horrific 'Dutch-English accent'; *shudder*)
Don't confuse the Netherlands for Germany folks! I've heard Americans say they think 'Netherlands' is a city, or doesn't even exist.

 

[Cockney Weasel]

Fairly posh Estuary English, with slight traces of cockney and of Lambeth drawl.

 

[Kurokami]

I've been told I have no accent when speaking English, I don't know how that's possible.

 

[Alberio]

Primarily I have a north eastern (Geordie?) accent although since I've been living in the south for about 10 years now its kinda a mix of the two.

I'm from Didsbury, in the South of Manchester, so it's sort of like posh Mancunian, which is really odd. And this accent is one of many English accents, and an example of the numerous British accents. I just get rather frustrated when people claim that people from London have "a British accent," as British accents vary a lot over short distances.

To people who say they don't have one: you do. Without a doubt. Everyone has an accent, be it American, Australian, English, whatever, every single person on the planet who speaks a language speaks with an accent.

 

[RetiarySword]

London-ish.. Not cockney but kind of close to it. I think its called Eastury English.

 

[AlexanderAstartes]

Everyone says I sound Canadian. It's odd, considering I'm from the UK, and have never been abroad. It's likely due to living 9 years in Kent and 10 in the Durham and York. I also have a welsh mother and french grandfather. I'm a mishmash of those

 

[Mortars]

When I´m not concentrating, I have a seriously thick Norwegian accent, which is mainly because I´m Norwegian. But if I try, I do a nice Irish accent, which is the closest to a proper accent I can get.

 

[Booze Zombie]

I'm Welsh, yet I've got an English accent.

 

[Socius]

Norwegian! with a dash of snooty british cause thats how our teacher tells us to speak!

 

[annoyinglizardvoice]

I'm told mine sounds British and not from the South, but that's all anyone can place about it.

Eg snakke bømla dialekt, da hørtes egentlig fint for jævlig ut.. Skjemmes når eg hørre mi egen dialekt på tv..
