'Though I don't think my accent is particularly strong.
ps I'm from Northern Ireland (Norn Iron).
That's what I get when I hear that accent
Problem is I don't know what kind of accent I have. I'm from Texas, but my parents were born in Costa Rica. My dad's parents were born in Ecuador, my mom's parents in Peru. My mom's grandparents were born in Israel, and then some of us came from places like Armenia. It's a big ol' clusterfuck of accents, that I can't tell what part of the world mine comes from.Nivag the Owl said:I can see this thread going horribly wrong. I see lots of Americans claiming to be accent-less. I'd say that's probably untrue and you probably sound unbelievably American to me. In the same sense that I would usually say I'm free from accent when in fact I probably sound unbelievably English to you.
The way this is spelt makes me think of Dudley. "Clowun/Towun/Gowun"GrinningManiac said:I know a chap from Barnsley. Nicest guy I've ever met, but it sounds like he's just been hit on the head and is having a hard time remembering his name. Also, I keep expecting, in the middle of whatever we're talking about, for him to say:Sovvolf said: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.
"Ooooooooh. A coop'f tea'd be loouuvleh"
That's perfectly acceptable. It's reasonable to not know what your accent is, or not to belong to one accent in particular. I just mean the people claiming to not have an accent.superbatranger said:Problem is I don't know what kind of accent I have. I'm from Texas, but my parents were born in Costa Rica.

British tint over a finnish accent here. I'm easily influenced, and mainly talk with brits. Sue me.MagnetoHydroDynamics said:Some British tint over a Scandinavian accent.

OT: Being a Norwegian, I guess I only have like the Scandinavian accent(trying everything not to sound like [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoE18IgEVf0" (title,target)]this[/URL].( "the demper"= suspension in cars)
Much of my writing(with friends) is a mixture of norwegian and english, making it difficult to understand for outsiders. But that's a plus right?
