What accent do you speak with?

I lived in the U.K. for a year from 2007-2008 and I am beginning to miss it. I am going to try to post in this forum more often and in order to add more nostalgia to the experience it would be handy to know what sort of accent you have when I am reading your posts.

I saw London, almost all of Northern England (not Liverpool sadly) and most of Scotland. I lived in Northumberland for six months and Invernessshire (by Loch Ness) for three. My family is from Middlesbrough, which explains a lot of things.

I think that my favourite accent would still have to be North Yorkshire.

If you want to hear what I sound like, watch this video:

I once had a guy in Scotland tell me I sounded Irish.

I'm Canadian but I get a Cape Bretoner's accent when I'm drinking. It caused some accent confusion abroad.

 

'Merican.

 

Are you from Cape Breton? I have a really good friend living in Sydney right now. He fronts a bluegrass band.

Canadian maritime accents definitely sound closer to Scottish than Irish.

 

American, Boston Accent. Pahk Tha Cah in Havad Yahd.

 

This thread is like London. Where are all the English people?

 

Almost the same thing dude.


I have an Irish/valley accent.

 

Kind of southern England but minus the long a's. Grass isn't grarse. A bit Frenchy when I'm excited or off guard, and a bit of midlands and a bit of west country comes through when I'm feeling lazy. So...mixed

 

Btw I love Aussie accents. They're probably the best accents in the world

 

Living in North East England [25 miles north of Middlesbrough] I naturally enough speak with a...Gloucestershire accent, since that's where I grew up and have only lived up here for 20 years...still a virtual newcomer.

Actually, I think I'm developing a sort of hybrid speech pattern - Gloucestershire accent, North East phrases.

 

ahh but which half of Gloucesterhire? The slightly oo-arr or Bristol half or the slightly toffish half who probably have relatives that own ponies and live in some posho village like Bourton on the water?

 

Are you in Teeside, County Durham or Tyneside? Hartlepool? Sunderland? I know the whole region really well, having friends and relatives all the way up the coast.

Do you find yourself saying "aye" instead of yes and "like" at the end of sentences?

 

I have no accent. I am English. I speak normally and properly.:cheers2:

 

I am the one that speaks normally and properly You have the accent. Humph.

 

You have a toffs accent, ian

 

I talk like ian

 

Ianglish:cheers2:

 

Naw, Caledonian.

 

East coast scottish - a bit posh I suppose - not the language I use - just the way I talk

 

A severe gay lisp...
