.Dan. Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 I don't have much of an accent. I'm New Zealand-born Chinese, yet speak flawless English. The only difference I have is that I sound like I have some sort of permanent cold,due to sinuses(nostril thingys) being blocked by something.
ronnie... Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 i'm abc (american born chinese) but i speak fluent english, maybe with an eastern accent?? like, new yorker style.

.Dan. Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 Some of my Malay friends have American accents,and they all attribute that to Tv.Weird,huh?
The Original Luna Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 I have a slightly londonised Scouse accent. I live in Southend, but I am not a shrimper supporter! I only celebrated that they defeated Manchesterr united because Man U beat Liverpool. :crying:
Radiance Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 Well, im Hindu- Tamil, Canadian, I was born in Canada.. and i dont think Canadians have accents? WEll i certainly don't.
Mira Posted November 11, 2006 Author Posted November 11, 2006 EVERYBODY HAS AN ACCENT! CANADIANS HAVE A CANADIAN ACCENT! AMERICANS HAVE AN AMERICAN ACCENT! TO YOU, YOU THINK YOU DONT HAVE AN ACCENT BUT THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS NOT HAVING AN ACCENT!
Anime Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 Geeze, calm down. I've never really thought about it much, but I guess I have a bit of an American accent, with a bit of Texan. (Texas is cool. We have our own accent.)
Empress Keiko Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 I have a well educated american accent. But I'm surrounded by Long Island accents! Some people pronounce the g in Long Island! IT'S HORRIBLE!
Radiance Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 Um, well i gues i have a Canadian accent then? :S My English .. seems.. pretty normal. like not the common accent [not speaking english properly]...
Guest �strophysicist Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 I was born in the US, my father is Russian and my mother is American. With my father around I have picked up a small Russian accent mixed with the Indiana accent. (Yeah, different states have different accents.)
Ellie_Penguin Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 I don't know if I even have an accent and if I do, I have no idea which one I have since I have lived everywhere...I'm going to have to ask someone.
squidge15 Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 I'm Chinese and I was born in the USA, too. I don't speak with a Chinese accent at all, and I speak both Cantonese and English fluently. However, I do have a southern accent since I was born and raised in the south. North Carolina to be exact. And I DO NOT speak with a red-neck accent. You can really hear my southern accent if I say "hunting" or something like that, or if I get mad.
eggplantlady Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 I live in Wisconsin but I don't really have a Wisconsin accent as such. I take bits and pieces of the way I pronounce things from here and there, depending more on what I think sounds right than what I hear around me. For example just about everyone here pronounces "milk" as "melk"... but I've always said "milk". I wouldn't say I don't have an accent, but I wouldn't know what to call my accent. :laughingsmiley:
Mini-Chan Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 i was born in the USA and im chinese but i dont think i have an accent! xD
Furry Curry Level 3 Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 yeha i have a bit of a southern american accent, i say the "melk" and "pellow" instead of pillow. believe me i get razzed for it all the time....BTW canadians have an extremely definite accent. i have a bit canadian accent too like saying soda and stuff. i live in mid ohio so that accounts for that...
Mini-Chan Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 hmm i do like to say 'ya'll' alot and 'aint' does that count as some type of accent? xD
Anime Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 YEah, I guess. Like here we tend to slur words together.
Mini-Chan Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 hmm yea so i do kinda have an accent then xD
.Dan. Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 New Zealanders have a lotta colloquiolism thingys,like bro,mate, ka pai and such.
Foxy! Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 I'm American, with a kind of southern slang. i don't have the accent, but I say things like ya'll. And, even though I live in Georgia, I have a bit of a western way of speech. Weird...
.Dan. Posted November 14, 2006 Posted November 14, 2006 I always liked Cockney English, like the BBC newsreaders and such...so ENGLISH!!
