hoguan : Actually, that just means you have an American accent. Technically, everyone has an accent... it just depends on what accent you have.
Mine is generally the "American" general accent, with a little bit of southern thrown in... we call it the Southern Maryland accent. Some of my family have more of a twang than I do, but for the most part it only shows up every now and then.

Here is a short video with a girl who has a Wisconsin accent, notice the elongation of the vowels.



And here is a video of Wisconsin culture as explained by Lewis Black

hoguan : Well, technically, we do. It's just people tend to describe themselves as not having one. In fact, the definition of "accent" (or the definition that fits this case) is "distinctive manner of oral expression"... in other words, how you say things.

Trust me, unless you are a native of Germany, you're accent will sound fake to a German speaker. It is the hardest to imitate. I had a decent Austrian accent going for awhile, but now it's become more Russian.

Anywho, I have the California accent with hints of the midwest accent (Missouri). This comes from a theater major friend who took classes in accent imitation. For the most part, I sound like a normal Californian, but apparently I pronounce a few things odd and more like someone from Missouri (mom is from there). But yeah, I say "like" and "dude" a lot and elongate the vowels and all that.

I'm just happy that I don't talk like a Vally Girl (but I can). And yes, I know that people outside the state say like but the stereotype of the southern California accent is that we say it a LOT. There is a lot of surfer lingo, Spanish pronunciation of words, and other stuff that is hard to describe.

Ah, you have an authentic accent to mimic. Nice... just make sure yours doesn't fall victim to the Russian accent as well.

septembern : Look, I've already said this, everyone has an accent... like I told hoguan "(he said he didn't know everyone had an accent) Well, technically, we do. It's just people tend to describe themselves as not having one. In fact, the definition of "accent" (or the definition that fits this case) is "distinctive manner of oral expression"... in other words, how you say things.

Anyways... I can also do decent British, Australian, and probably ze worst French accent possible, just for fun.

I don't really have an accent, althoughI do have stuttering problems. I wish they would just go away so I can talk properly. It's gotten me into trouble before lol.

I was born in Texas and half of my family (famary) is from China, but I don't think that I have a recognizable accent. I may slip a y'all into the conversation every now and then (which is so much easier to say than you all), but I never find myself talking about ol (oil) rigs or drawling my vowels or anything like that. I also can pronounce my L's fine (fond, fond memories of "A Christmas Story" and "fa ra ra ra ra, fa ra ra ra" arise here) despite my Chinese heritage; that may have something to do with the fact that I can barely speak Chinese, my accent is that atrocious. I guess you could say I have some form of American accent, as everyone in China winces at my pronunciation of Chinese, meaning I have some accent, I just don't know what.

I live in Florida, but I think I do not have an accent. I can mimic it, just like several other accents, but I prefer speaking clearly and well.

Sadly, I have a bit of a Minnesota accent. I used to live in California, but I don't think Californians have accents. So obviously I live in Minnesota.
