Type out your accent phonetically!

[hawkeye52]

i got an officers accent i.e. a non accent that doesnt originate from any part of england so i tend to say every sylable of a word rather then skip out on some like i say and with the D on the end most of the time.

i also tend to use quite long words in average conversation and people tend to say that im quite posh because of this but dont confuse this with the queens english posh

 

[DTWolfwood]

No. I talk fast but have no accent. Other than Fast Talking Yankee from what i get from my southern/midwestern friends.

Great, that rash is back.

What's that thing over there?

What's that thang over there?

I'm American with little to no distinguishable accent.

What? Americans have massive accents. I don't know what you guys mean.

O.T. I can't really write my accent phonetically more than I already do. My accent consists of an awful lot of apostrophe's basically.

I'll use my credit card

I'lll Use my CKreDdit CKarDd


Cleveland, OH. Apperantly we put accents on words like Cs and Ds. So Credit would sound like a K almost

Canadian.

Being a Canadian, I can safely say that this is a fallacy. All Canadians would say "oot and aboot".

 

[newfoundsky]

"Hey, Tony, What is this broad doing in my cab."

"'ey, Tony, wuts dis brawd doin' 'n mah cab?"

 

[Lord_Panzer]

If I speak quickly it sometimes sounds like a dialect of 'proper' English, but I don't know that I have an incredibly pronounced accent otherwise. I'm sure I have one, but I assure you it isn't the "oot and aboot" Canadianisms that my fellow Canucks in this thread have laid claim to.

 

[dex-dex]

I don't know, what do you want to do today?
Ironow, whara you wanna do tuhday?

Damn, that sounds like Scooby Doo. >.<

I like scooby doo. also if you actualy talked as scooby doo, do voice acting and make MILLIONS!!

 

[Grey_Focks]

Why yes, I would like a sandwhich. Thank you!

gimme dat fuking sammich *****! bout time!

......yea I got nothing. I also am a norther state American, and as such I define my voice as the total absence of an accent. I guess I was trying to mock the average city-dweller with that....I dunno, I just woke up, gimme a while for my funny to start up.

No, you'll say it weird... depending where you hail from. We all do.

Ner, yul say it al weird... dependin on where yu hail from. We al dee.

EDIT: I don't talk like that all the time, I talk like that without realising it and switch between that and normal English. Well, that's what it's like when you live in Northumberland.

 

[Redingold]

Well, sins yoo askd nie-slee, Iyll tell yoo that I ak-chooallee speek prittee normallee. Peepull say I sownd posh, tho.

THAT IS HOW YOU TYPE PHONETICALLY.

 

[rockyoumonkeys]

Yeah, I don't notice an accent in myself, but I know if I went somewhere else, they'd detect an accent. All I know is I'm from near Boston and I do NOT have a Boston accent. I do say "wicked" a lot though.

Canadian.

As a fellow Canuck, I am glad to see it represented more accurately than the Kevin Smith justification for liking Degrassi -- liking chicks who say "aboot". "Abowt" is better. I dated an American who lived in Ohio and they had an accent, different than NY, NJ, MA, TX, LA, TN, to name a few.

All Canadians don't sound alike either. I have a few things that are associated more with the east coast of Canada then where I grew up in Ontario.

So OT: Let me out of the car so I can go over in the trees and take a piss
Lemme outta the kerr so-eye can gover in the trees an' take-a piss

 

[Mechsoap]

hello how are you

hellou, hawe r' you?

 

[Gunsang]

I have a Midwestern(type of American) accent. So standard pronouncing "butter" as "budder" and other classic American exchanges of t's for d's. The biggest thing in the way I talk is my dialect. I'll sometimes say "watcha wanna do" instead of "what do you want to do", "'til" instead of "until" and such; but this is on purpose so I wouldn't consider it an accent.

Edit: I can't really get any more specific because the Midwestern accent is considered no accent by many Americans. So, I have trouble knowing what the characteristics of my accent is.

 

[Something Amyss]

I love how some American's think they don't have an accent.... YES YOU DO!

OT: I wouldn't know how to put my accent into writing. I pronounce words correctly. My accent is probably more tonal than it is abbreviations and portmanteauisations.

I may use dialect terms now and again. But they are their own word. So both sentences would still be written identically.

Thing is, you just highlighted part of why Americans don't think they have accents. I have a pretty flat accent for an American, which is amazing considering my family are all from New England. R's become "ahs" as in "Look ovah theyah," and many "a" sounds become "er," as in "want some pizzer?"

But my "r's" sound like "r's" and my "a's" sound like "a's." I'm not saying I won't sound foreign to someone from another country, but with respect to American accents, I can't really say much.

I do say odd words, though. My parents and grandparents use some chiefly british terms that just stuck.

Well, No one really thinks they have an accent but to the english you americans sound very different.

OT:
Hello, how are you?
'Ello how are-you?

True That
True Dat!

So, what you doing later?
So, What you do-inG lata?

I put a lot of emphasis into my words...

 

[GWarface]

Every person's heritage or most recent living area can be traced in their speech patterns (aka, their "accent"). There is only one exception: the Midwest United States has no discernible accent (with the exceptions of Chicago and parts of Ohio and Michigan) because it sounds, to most ears, phonetically neutral. There have probably been studies, but I don't care enough to look them up.

I try really hard to maintain phonetic neutrality, but I've lived in New England too long. It's bleeding through, thus:

Worcester
"Wusstuh"

Are you sure?
"What ah ya, frum Mahs?"

I'm leaving to buy some things, I will be back later.
"Iz goin' tuduh stoah. I ain't buyin youz nuh'in."

...And so on in that fashion.
