No.
But Justin says I have a California accent or something.
Animals.

[*mzkandi*]

Some people say my southern accent comes out when I am angry, I dont know, I dont hear it.

[sm0kinm0nky]

No, but I like to use a fob accent sometimes for fun.

[BOOGERSHAHA]

no, i came to American when i was like 3 so i have no accent. however, speaking chinese is a different story. my relatives all say i have an american accent when i try to speak chinese.

[*disco infiltrator*]

Uhhhhhhhhh......A Midwestern accent?

English is my home language.

Mindy..you kinda do.

[*lolita kitty*]

nah.
when i first moved to california from louisiana, everyone said i had one, but i disagreed.
i still do.

[Heathasm]

i have a southern accent on some of my words.
yeah, but i have more of a 9yr old accent

[eunie03]

No

[ANG33ZY]

No I don't think I have an accent :)

[*tweeak*]

Uhhhhhhhhh......A Midwestern accent?

English is my home language.

Mindy..you kinda do.

Mindy hasn't posted. I don't think she had an accent either

I only speak English...and no, I don't have an accent. I refuse to sound like I'm from the south. Few people I know do, actually.

[*not_your_average*]

No, I don't have any sort of accent. Same reason as Nicki. Plus, no one in my family has a southern accent. They're all Indian.

[silver-rain]

Hmm, I don't have a Chinese accent, since I was born here. But to other people, I might have a New York accent (not a Brooklyn or Queens one though)... hah.

[totallyxticxtac]

no, because i only speak english

[demolished]

I have my own ugly accent that I do not know where it comes.
My accent sounds blurry that you cannot understand it.

[Aoiro]

Not that I know of.
But I know everyone in the world has some sort of accent!
O__________o;;

[*incoherent*]

i sound like im from the south.

[iheartsimba]

Nope. English is my native language =]

[xposure]

nope i dont and english was the last language ive learned so far. but sometimes i stutter for some reason

[Eryi]

I don't have one.

[aznxdreamer]

nope. i was born in cali and then i went back to china for about two years then came back so i dont really have an accent. i dont think i have an accent while speaking chinese either because i speack chinese at home.

[kodomo_ja_nai]

I have a mix of Chinese and Filipino accent and I'm proud of it! LOOOL!
well, not really... people sometimes look at me like "whaa....!!??" cuz i pronounce every single syllable in a word with a hard consonant. >_> (but i find it kind of weird how native english speakers don't say every syllable, causing them to not know how to spell certain words).

[mai_z]

It's wierd, the people around me influence how I talk. So normally,I don't speak english with an accent, but with my chinese friends, my english slips into what my family calls "chinglish", with an HK accent, or at least adding things like "la" and "wor" and "ar ma" after I say things.

[sharerol]

No, I don't think I have an accent, and I've never been told that I have one, so yeah...

[*xcaitlinx*]

No, I don't have an accent at all. but some people in my family have a new joisy accent. (jersey)

[Nicolatofu]

Some people say I have a country accent since I've moved out to kentucky, but I really can't tell.

[OhXiet_ItzDonnA]

I dont think I have an accent...but I do whenever I'm speaking viet of course.

[sprezzatura]

i have a little bit of an accent when i talk fast. filipino accent.
what does la, wor and ar ma mean anyway? i always wanted to ask my honger friends.

that's really hard to tell what la, wor, and ar ma mean. just some sort of expressions used informally.

[PreludeTears]

TO the mexicans I have a white girl accent to the Americans i have a wet bag accent

[Azn Kid from NY]

i talk kind of in a slight streetish/newyorkish accent some people tell me....

but for the most part i speak pretty normal i think

[*suddenly she*]

i have a small texan accent.
i usually say tur instead of tour.

because i'm weird.

[ChasingLife87]

I live in Oklahoma and so I don't have the southern accent going. I still say "route" like "root" and I don't say "turr" for "tour" and I just speak normal. The Okies say I have a funny Pennsylvania accent and I talk too fast. And I say funny Pennsylvania things like "go get that awhile"... I've never said "outen the lights."

My problem is that I pick up the accents of people I talk to. I came to Oklahoma for camp when I still lived in PA, and talked with a lot of people from Texas who had SERIOUS texan accents, but at the same time there was a group from Saskatchewan, Canada, and so I also picked up the whole "eh?" thing. I came back to pennsylvania speaking Texan with canadian "eh"s, and people wondered where I really went

[glit_gal]

no i don't have an accent when i speak english but i can successfully speak in my home language with it's proper accent. But i've never mixed up the two which is a surprise since i'm like first in line to mess up.

[JlIaTMK]

Yes, at times I do when I say certain words.

You just may or may not notice it....

[*chaneun*]

according to eddie, nga, justin, kristin, and julia, i have a fob accent. :|

[shortiiex]

i speak chinese at home...mandrian...but it doesn't have a accent

[misskentucky]

I've been told I have a North Dakotan accent. Slightly. I can't hear it o.O

[*disco infiltrator*]

Mindy hasn't posted. I don't think she had an accent either

I only speak English...and no, I don't have an accent. I refuse to sound like I'm from the south. Few people I know do, actually.

Er..

no, i came to American when i was like 3 so i have no accent. however, speaking chinese is a different story. my relatives all say i have an american accent when i try to speak chinese.

...o_o that..isn't mindy?

[5ayuri]

Nope..
But I think I have a slight accent when I speak spanish.

[Levy2k6]

i speak good english.
i'm texan.

[b0st0ngrl]

I think I have a smaaaaaall Boston accent.

But it's tiny, since I moved away when I was 9.

[lilliannnn]

I've been told I have a Philly accent, but I don't know.

[EddieV]

I can speak both Thai and English fluently..

[Winter]

I have no accent but American people claim I sound British. Pfft. I do have an English accent when I speak Malay, Cantonese and Mandarin.

[Alk3]

No, I don't.

Hmm, I don't have a Chinese accent, since I was born here. But to other people, I might have a New York accent (not a Brooklyn or Queens one though)... hah.

There's a Queens accent? lol

[dahalfkoreanstyl]

im half korean half white and born in america, so english is my primarly language, but if I hang out with koreans a lot i start to get a korean accent when speaking both korean and english

[Spirited Away]

people say i have a southern drawl when i'm upset. that and Sammi says I say "horrible" wrong. lol, i pronounce it haw-ri-bowl, she says (and Anna, too) whore-ri-ble, i think. eh...

[FREEcandies]

Started learning English about 10 years ago. No accent now although on occasion I suffer from Spoonerism.

[b0st0ngrl]

people say i have a southern drawl when i'm upset. that and Sammi says I say "horrible" wrong. lol, i pronounce it haw-ri-bowl, she says (and Anna, too) whore-ri-ble, i think. eh... 

I say haw-ri-ble, too. But I didn't think it was a Southern thing...

[gelionie]

Honestly I don't know.

A lot of the teachers at my school and my schoolmates have the Cantonese accent, which doesn't sound very appealing.

[StarryEyedSurpri...]

people that don't live in the south say i have a southern accent

[WHOngos144]

nope

[cfaye3char]

I am from the USA born.....all my family is from here but people say I look Indian from across the ocean. when I talk people say I sound like I am from the south. and when I say something in public they look at me so I don't know what is wrong....I must sound strange....

[BrokenDream]

sometimes I sound country. LOL. when I say, 'ain't' yeah. I sound really country.

[sweetdreamsx3]

My Speech teacher said I did..but my friends never said anything about it. *Shrugs* I suppose I do then.

[Spirited Away]

I say haw-ri-ble, too. But I didn't think it was a Southern thing...

because i do the southern thing when i'm "upset", i said, not when i say "horrible".

[*tweeak*]

Er..
...o_o that..isn't mindy?

Nope. That's Autumn. (whose name I should not disclose lest she kill me)

[talcumpowder]

Yes. I have an accent. I still can't distingush between my "la"&"ra". I pronounce all my l's like r's.... >.<" Vice versa too. And my Japanese sounds "anime" according to my cousins.

[jane__]

i live in australia. so i guess i do? hah

[luvzcha]

no, i dont think i have accent because no one ever told me so... ya!

[Retrogressive]

Ugh. I have this horrible Texan Jessica Simpson thing going on... I even see it in my type when I say "y'all" or something stupid like that. It drives my friend in Boston nutters.

[anniepiee]

No.i dont think. But everyone has an accent. some are just more obvious than the other.

[*danielle_x3*]

i don't, but hezron does :O!

[itsARIE]

all i have is a southern accent... i'm an arkansas girl

[XaZnX07]

umm people say i have a little asian accent but not a whole lot

.:tony:.

[fameONE]

I'm from Delaware but since I don't live there anymore, the northern draw comes and goes. Get me around my family, and it gets heavy.

[*disco infiltrator*]

^ You have an extremely odd mix of accents.

[fameONE]

^ You have an extremely odd mix of accents.

Is that right?

[*disco infiltrator*]

Yea. You've had some southern slip in there too occasionally.

[*RiC3xBoy*]

[*Tainted Euphoria*]

I don't think I do, but I've been told I have a bit of a southern accent. I don't really hear it myself, though.

[Lightner]

ya.. i have somewhat a mexican accent.. i also talk kinda fast lol

[*[Filp]Essence*]

lmao, yes unfortunately. ahem.. the "umm, umm, yeah yeah accent". see what happen was i could talk really good english and i was born here. but since i was dumb, i thought id try something. and i kept saying umm or something liek that when ever i talk, ugh.. screwed teh way i talk.

[Angel_Cece]

my friends say i have a west indian accent when i speak... that's only sometimes when i'm saying a word, it sounds different to them

[dani41790]

Yeah I somtimes have a filipino accent =\. I also sometimes have a pidgin accent. Btw pidgin is the slang in hawaii.

[*stephinika*]

i don't think so...but when i went on a cruise and met a bunch of people from the US, i apparently talk a little different because i live in canada...

[Gypsy Eyes]

I have a new york accent, and with certain words (like competition) it sounds british

[racoons > you]

i put the occasional southern drawl on my 'r's...

i suppose, if we want to get technical, i have an english accent. but, of course i am from england.

[angel-roh]

sometimes haha... even though i am fully good at speaking english....


cause you know im korean. and i have to talk korean to my mom... and when i speak in english.. i have this fob accent -_-;;;;;

[simx]

No, I don't

[heyyfrankie]

nope. no accent but i guess i wouldn't have one considering that english is my 'home language'. but sometimes whenever i say the word 'stupid', my friends say that i say like a hick. <.<;;

[MeLoNiSyUmMy]

nope well, not for english anyway. i moved here from china when i was 3 so i speak english without any weird chinese accents. lol. but when im at home speaking mandrin, its kinda weird because i have an american acent when i mtalking to my da in chinese. its funny though because i cant say so many things that i should be able to say and he doesnt quite understand me sometimes. tee, hee.

[*reflection*]

[*jooleeah*]

Haha, sometimes.

I was a fob when I was little. Shutup. xD

[glit_gal]

Haha, sometimes.

[Gigi]

[rx_azngirl]

No, actually I'm better at speaking English than Vietnamese..

[mrcoolcat]

Normal English accent (not as posh as people from around the world think!) lol

[AtLxKeLvInx]

Meh, well my parents say i have an american accent in chinese. ~~

[Animeloverhk93]

YESS!! when i say like "Ham" i sound like a 'hillbilly'!! one time i walked in my dads room and banged on the door and was like "i want some spaaaaaaam" and my dad was like "you a country singer?" i'm like "NO!" lol but when i try to speak tagalog.. man its like i'm an alein.. i dun know that much words but its hard . Even when i try to speak irish.. i can't even say "Ta sa` fuer" its complicated... somtimes i even through in a song with the word "HAAAAM" and swing my arms as i add a tune it.. hehe its just a joke that makes my daddy laugh..
also when i say "Lance Armstrong" my mom was like "Juliana your 'lance' sounds like a country singers voice" lol but what'd she talking bout she doesn't even know who lance armstrong is!!! NO I"M SORRY MOMMY! lol jk but yeah i have to admit... its fun having my accent (once in a while )

[Lithium718]

People say I have a "New Yorker" accent because when I say dog it sounds like dowg. I think it doesn't really matter.

[xangelkissesx]

I don't have an accent.

[Fatalis]

Living up North, I had an accent because I was from the higher south... and then I got an Northern accent...
Then I moved to the South.
