Do you have an Accent?

[Silverwing]

Every part of the world is different and within our own regions, we have our own dialect.  We might think we sound completely normal, but if you were to travel, would your dialect be seen as an accent? 

So the simple question is, do you have an accent?  If so, go ahead and tell us about it if you want.  Is it southern sounding, British, maybe valley girl?  Would you say your accent is thick or barely there with certain words like, "lobster."  Do you have mannerisms that are distinct to your dialect?

Lets talk about language!

Overall, no.  I don't have a distinct accent or way of speaking.  Though I do have a deeper voice, and I might talk slower sounding.  You know, that rural kind of the thing.  Not the fast talk of city folk.  I like the outdoors and so I guess I picked up traits.

I've been told I have a Spanish accent from a friend up in Baltimore.

[Death Blossom]

Latino. I'm not sure what my first language was. I learned both around the same time, but I still have a very slight accent. For a few words. Some friends say it's notable with certain words. My piano teacher says its slight, but it's there. And my mom also says she can hear it when I talk, even though I know English like the back of my hand, you can tell I was raised in a Latino household.

I've always been told I have a slight British accent. I have no idea where I picked it up. I grew up in Boulder, so  I have no idea where I could've gotten it from.

[Umeko]

People say I do.
Born and raised in Sweden but I lived in Canada for almost four years.
And after years spent chatting with people online.
I speak canadian with a mix of american english and add my swedish accent to it.

I speak a muddled Brooklyneese.

I speak a muddled Brooklyneese.

I never would have guessed.

Lets find out.  I just asked the question, how do you say "GROCERY?"

Groh-shery or Groh-sery?" 

[Death Blossom]

And coupon. And coffee.

I have a very slight New Jersey accent -- not anything that my own ear picks up, but it's noticeable on a few words. I live by the shore, so no New York accent has trickled into my speech. However, my maternal grandparents both grew up in upstate New York, and as a result my grandmother's Rochester accent pokes its head out from time to time. Same goes for my paternal grandmother and her upper Pennsylvania pronunciations.

[Death Blossom]

Jersey example? So you say carmel instead of caramel? And Que-Pon instead of Coo-pon?

[Bird]

I'm actually pretty careful to pronounce "caramel" as "caramel," however my father has the habit of pronouncing it "car-mel." I definitely say "que-pon," though. It goes back and forth now that I think about it, but "que-pon" is definitely what comes out of my mouth more often than not.

I also have the ingrained habit of pronouncing Newark as "New-ERK." Whereas, further down, it's pronounced "New-ARK."

[Death Blossom]

I say New-erk as well. New-ark sounds stupid.
I says caramel because it's correct, and I say coo-pon naturally.

I was chatting with teammates on Overwatch and some guy asked where I was from and I said America and they were like "I thought you were from Australia or New Zealand" lol.

[FoxTail]

I say Que-pon and I say CAR-mel.

I say New-ark.  I also say Norfolk as Nor-fuk.  I think that is the right way to say it too.  But then I get nervous around people and say it as Nor-fulk.
