I was in this Krogers yesterday and i was talkin to the cashier. she just graduated or whatever and we started talkin about Frisco bein boring as hell! Anyway, im about to leave and she tells me "You have the cutest Texas accent". I was like
 thinkin' 'i ain't got no damn accent', but i smiled and left......That's why i made this topic. now does anyone have an accent so i don't feel weird and "Texan" |

Lol. I used to be in denial too. I've been told that I have a very southern / German accent. I guess thats because of living in Florida all my life, and being German.

I don't have an accent. I'm constantly correcting my parents in how to say things in english, 'cause they have heavy filipino accents. But I do impressions of accents though..for stupid laughs. :) |

Well, being Hispanic, I guess it should be noted that I've always been told I sounded, uhm, "white". I don't know, I've always been told I sounded Caucasian..? If I'm really relaxed, then I'll probably sound very "Californian" or something.

Everyone I've talked to from the US has told me that I just sound normal, but obviously one of my friends in the UK says I have an accent.
When I first moved here from Arkansas, everyone made fun of me for like a year for having a Southern accent, but I'm guessing that went away.

I have an accent when I pronounce some things. Usually it's when I have a problem pronouncing them and pronounce them as I would in Macedonian. I do when I read (out loud) or speak fast.

Although I'm full Japanese, I don't have a fobby Japanese accent. I'm told I sound Californian, hahaha. Which I have no idea what it sounds like, because I never went to California. But I'm pretty damn good at British, Australian, Pakistan and Filipino accents! Hehe.

I'm from the UK, so I have a British accent, I can almost take the piss and do a scousers and a countryman's accent, most of you may have an american accent. I still find it hilarious people who have a certain accent and then they suddenly change their accent without knowing, like my Canadian friend, saying "yo dude, I'm the quarterback for the American Football Team"

Not that i know of. I mean, everyone has an accent, but I don't know what you would classify mine as. I grew up in NewYork, but moved down south in `03. Since that, the way I talk has been mellowed out (not so much NY). Somebody down here told me I sorta have a western drawl. which translates into "plain", not one way or the other.

i have multiple accents. its not anything that i do on purpose, but i tend to take on the accent of the area i am in. my original accent was deep southern new orleans accent, then moving to NC it changed to a high country accent, now its a mixture of both. i tend to go back in the new orleans accent when in the state of being angry and yelling or arguing. i dont know im weird i guess,lol.
its like i can stay somewhere for a few weeks and automatically capture part of the accent in that area. |

Being born and raised in Oxford, you would think I would sound posh but actually I don't. I'm really well spoken and it shocks alot of people for some reason. Also I don't have an accent which is cool since it means everyone can understand me rather then a few.

^ Whoa, nope. I didnt. Thats awesome...
I'm sure if I went up north or something, they'd think that I did. But no. I'm just glad I dont have a southern accent.  I'm just... normal [Though, there really isnt such a thing]. |

Well yeah, accents are definitely relative.
Most Americans have an American accent, and within America, there are different accents, e.g. Southern, New York, etc. But then I believe there are people here who don't have a classifiable American accent, i.e. they don't have an accent associated with a particular region. So as Americans, we will consider those people to "not have an accent." If you look at it like that, I know lots of people "without accents." |

Yessss, very much so. I have a southern accent. I know because I moved to Colorado for a year and the people at school would tell me, "Awwe, your accent is so sweet/cute!" I'm like, "Thanks"
 . But now since I've moved back home, I've gotten my accent back, and it's deeper now than it was before I left.

I definitely have a northen accent, because I was born in Chicago and I lived there too so I guess I never lost it since I moved to Mississippi.

From time to time I have a good ol' southern accent, but it only shows in a few words. I live in a very very diverse neighborhood in a diverse city and I went to a diverse middle/high school so that kinda killed anything I had. BUT I still love using southern lingo, i.e. y'all :D

Well alot of people say I don't and that I sound 'normal'.
My mum says I sound much less Welsh than my friends, but at times people think I sound really 'Welshy' But I think I don't have much accent. Considering my mother is Thai, and my father is Welsh but barely has an accent himself. I think having an accent depends on the environment you grow up in really, as my boyfriend has an English accent but he's half Welsh. |

Well being that I was born in Mississippi and have been living in Florida since the age of 1, my friends say I have a southern accent, but I don't think so. I mean yea I can talk with different accents, depending on the mood I'm in.
