Describe your accent

[Ninastar]

So we all know what accents we love/hate

now it's time to find out the members we will despise!!

I have a ****ed up accent. My friends at work seem to think I sound yorkshire, which I disagree with completely. I still think I sounds american. Hell, I sound more scottish than yorkshire!

[InOne]

Yorkshire accent. But it's not a full one really, and I try not too use too much slang like owt or nowt.

[King Gizzard]

nFBoeZm7-u4

[MTVN]

Don't really have one, apart from a very slight Gloucestershire twang on some words

[InOne]

Infact I should say West Yorkshire accent. Don't want you thinking I sound like someone from Barnsley or anything :idc:

Barnsley scum

[King Gizzard]

The north as a whole is a pretty horrible place really

Everyone from down south and what not always say people are friendlier up north

[Ninastar]

[King Gizzard]

me my brother and sister are the only ones in the whole family that aren't northern

[Kizzy]

Don't worry David Cameron is having Hull flattened and made into a waitrose.

[King Gizzard]

I found out I'm part French Jew down the line the other day, was not a good moment

[nicole_burks]

american

[Ninastar]

rly?

[Lee.]

I've been told I don't have that a strong accent, but if any of you heard me you'd probably think I sounded like Agnes McHaggis from the McHighlands of Jockland, drunk on Whiskey and Irn Bru.. och aye!

[Stu]

Scum Ireland meets repressed homosexuality.

[Withano]

Like a miserable Ricky Gervais or a happy Jeremy Kyle. Them and Dawn French are pretty much the only famous people to come out of my town.

[AnnieK]

I have Manchester accent that gets stronger or lesser depending on who I am speaking to. Not as strong as the Gallaghers and I'm not all "mad for it".

[SharkAttack]

Philadelphia with west coast accents. Not sure what that is, but it is.

[Redway]

A typical Scouse accent with a few traces of Mancunian and sometimes it sounds a little southern. :suspect:

Even the Gallaghers accents have toned town now with them living in London for so long. Think they left Manchester in the early 90's and never went back.

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Welsh

[Niamh.]

a bit like Roy Keane only not as masculine :laugh:

[Jesus.]

If Barry white grew up in the cotswolds then lived in the Midlands, I'm guessing he'd sound just like me (that is based on zero evidence).

[Jessica.]

I don't have a clue how to describe my accent, I must speak quite fast or something though, because when I was in London last month nobody had a clue what I was saying. D:

[Josy]

Jessica :laugh: My sister in laws bf is irish and everyone can understand him perfectly apart from me, I have to listen really closely to know what he's saying, sometimes I just laugh.

I have a kinda glaswegian accent.

[Niamh.]

lol, any famous Limerick people to compare? Diarmuid Gavin? :laugh:

[Vanessa]

I love the irish accent! :hugesmile:

Seriously, when I was in London I went to a coffee shop to order cappuccinos for my mother and sister and I said "could I have two cappuccinos please" only to realise the guy was making tea after I said it, then I said "Sorry, I said cappuccinos" and he was like "What? Cappuccino?" and I said "Yeah" then he made ONE cappuccino and I had to explain that I said two. :bawling: Then I asked him to put cold milk in one of them and he put it in the two. I never felt so self conscious about my accent before. :bawling:

[Jessica.]

I don't even have a clue who that is. :blush:

[Niamh.]

He's a Celebrity Gardener, I think he's from Limerick anyway but I might be wrong, here he is :

This thread is way too Oirish for my liking.

[Jessica.]

He sounds like he could possibly be from Limerick but more from the country rather than city. D: I sound nothing like that anyway.

:laugh2:

I was in New York a couple of years ago and I had to book a shuttle bus back to the airport, so I said "Can you collect us at 20 past 4?" and the woman on the phone said "I'm sorry m'am I don't know military time" :laugh:

[Lee.]

I can't think of anyone famous from Fife apart from the Proclaimers... so I guess I must sound like them :/

[Jesus.]

:laugh2:

Those 2 are the guys that wrote father Ted.

[Niamh.]

Oh is that them, I never knew what they looked like :laugh: One of them was a Priest in one of the episodes though

london/newcastle

[nicole_burks]

Honestly all english people sound the same to me.


But to describe my accent besides american

People say I sound like i'm from the north because I talk fast/don't have a southern accent. Idk how to describe mine

[Princess]

Irish, in a way that makes everyone in England thinks I sound super Irish but everyone here think I sound quite English, I don't know.

[Ammi]

...I guess mine's a mixture of Caribbean, French and Irish...with a bit of a Suffolk twang as well....

[_Seth]

Posh and kinda lazy. Some words kinda blend into each other in a way that shouldn't, and words I emphasise sound South African.

I'm surprised to read this, Nicole. You haven't noticed any differences in the way housemates speak, from Aaron to Julie to Amy to Aden, for example? They are as tremendously differing as they are across the U.S.

Give a link to your voice, and I can tell you where I think you're from. :joker:

Leaving two letters out of your name is lazy enough, we already know. http://i395.photobucket.com/albums/pp32/sharkattack_torrential/wink.gif

Only one; I spell my name with one "L", and leaving the first "I" out was intentional. :p

[CharlieO]

sort of posh and rah with a monotonous twang

[Livia]

I would say it was kind of neutral, although there's still a little east London in there, which gets a bit ICF when I get mad.

[Niall]

I have a bit of an Essex accent. It's not really thick but it's there.

[Marc]

:yuk:

[Niall]

:yuk:

It's not my fault I grew up here! :hmph: My Mum stopped me from talking with a really thick accent anyway kinda. She used to correct how I said words all the time when I was little.

[Jessica.]

:joker: My niece and nephew live in Essex and I always find myself correcting their pronunciation too, it annoys them but I think it suits them better not to have a strong accent. I mostly did it by accident at first because I was used to them sounding Irish. :P

[KingBilly]

Essex but different than Rylan.
