When the Massachusetts girl said “hsidhfbisjdvfhsjsbisjhfbrujahfhfjd quateah foah some chowdah” I felt that
-
"I definitely notice it when I'm travelling" That's the Jersey way of saying "Our accent comes out when we swear"
-
saying that you don't have an accent is like saying that this comment doesn't have a font.
-
Favorite moment: "People in California have like... They say 'like'."
-
Texas woman sounds like she's about to burst into tears
-
As a British person, I find it difficult to distinguish subtle differences between states. I think I could correctly identify a Californian, New York, Southern and Appalachian accent.
-
One of the things about Texas is that depending on where you are, you have a different accent. Like where I live, the accent is very Latino-based. A lot of words have Spanish pronunciations.
-
Half of them: "I don't really have an accent" Other half: "HEY YALL!"
-
All of them: “I don’t have an accent”
-
Tennessee’s accent is so adorable 🥺 I can also listen to the missouri accents all day it’s so nice
-
We definitely draw out our “R’s” , “A’s” and “O’s” more in the Midwest. I’ve also noticed we tend to really stress the “ar” and “er” sound at the end of a word almost to the point of sounding Gaelic, at least in Minnesota. “Car” often sounds like “caer.”
-
As a foreigner, I can pretty much only hear 2 accents: Southern and not southern
-
This is literally a bunch of people who have intentionally lost their accent and are now trying to imitate it.
-
One of the big challenges is accents aren't staying the same at all in many places. Take California, for example. Most people who live there were born on the other side of the Rockies, or in another country entirely. So the accent that results is a mix of many, many different accents and it's taking an entire generation to solidify into something new!
-
I'm Brazilian and I've been living in the US for almost two years. Today I was curious to know if there are also different accents here and I came to research, I heard all the people talking and for me it's all the same 😂 omg
-
the Texas girl sounded like she was trying not to cry lmao
-
“California like- we say Like” Accurate
-
I waited patiently for Michigan and was severely disappointed 😭😂 the accent imo is similar to Minnesota but more mild
-
Oh Jersey definitely has an accent 😂 that guy just hasn't realized it yet I guess 🤣
