Movies like Breakdown and Raising Arizona. They all have Hillbilly accents. Hell I'm from NC and we don't even talk that country.

I'm in NJ, just doing some research. I'm sure I have a different accent but the only words I'd pronounce differently are schedule and sure, I'd say something that sounds more like skedge-wool, and for sure I'd say something that sounds more like shore.

Pecan rhymes with thong

Native Arizonan here (Phoenix metro), and he is spot on. Although, i say Car-mel.

All I know if you don’t pronounce the T’s as in kitten, Putin, rotten then you get on my nerves.

Grew on the rez and had a native accent, but ever since i moved to the coty, i jave an American accent, only thru times of stress or hurryy native accent comes out.

Im born and raised Phoenician with a “generall” Amero accent and purposefully say words “incorrectly” just to spice it up. Like “terlet” “warsh” “aboot” for example. I was in AeroForce and met all types from all over, it was riotous the way other peeps spoke

Haha, I know this video is super old but the bug that rolls up into a ball is a rolly polely (roll with the -y sound and pole with the -y sound) for me. I grew up in northern AZ though so it might be different for people from Phoenix

thank you

I lived in Mesa and Casa Grande. When I joined the army I met lots of people with different types of accents but I've never been told I have one. I have a monotone to my speech but I think that's just lack of emphasis or emphasis on certain vowels other accents do. A lot of people (from my experience) expected someone from Arizona to sound like someone from California. Side note if you join the Army as infantry and you're from Arizona. Good chances you'll end up being an RTO (radio telephone operator) due to your voice clarity. 3:27 who used to "mummify the cactus"?

3:38 roly poly

Mesa gang!

I'm from Mesa and I think you nailed it.

This very close to accent of most people talking in Ottawa-Canada , very similar. Great English accent, easy to grasp and communicate with anyone. Thanks for your lovely video.

Northern AZ differences from the Valley Boy, Rolly Polies, Tennis shoes, daddy long legs, GRAMA and GRAmpa, The devil is beating his wife...when it rains and the sun is shining.

Still lalalove it! ❤

I have one in my yard

I grew up in Arizona. I think az speaks correctly

I was born in Chicago and raised till about 12 then moved to Phoenix and been here since. Im now 50😢. I also speak German and Czech since both sides are from europe. I have no idea about an Arizona accent but my european side comes out more often than not.

Thanks man, trying it now! 🍕 🍕

Arizona accent is very beautiful and clear.

Greatly admire your honesty. Believe it or not, (You will be helping so many people). Stay-Real my brother...

Here in north eastern AZ we drawl a little to a lot.

Leaving out the middle t in words: cannaloupe, ki'en, moun'ain... Is this just a me thing or do other Arizonans do this?

Coming from your accent challenge. It's nice to see you are doing well! 🌵🥰

Who knows what they even make the sausage out of probably human meat for all we know

😮 I’ve been trying to figure out where their meat comes from. It just freaks me out there’s like no info it seems like at least so far

You sound like you barely escape being southern.

I think your accent is the general American accent.

It's also pretty common for Arizonans to have an accent that's mostly general American but with more of a Texas type southern inflection on certain words. Not a complete southern drawl but not exactly a Cali surfer accent either. That's how I would describe my accent and I live in Tucson.

Dude you sound better then my speakers in my car truck 🚚 or you having a brain freeze

Literally I think those were the first vibes the California accent gave me 🤣🤣🤣

your "both" has an upper-west north Dakota ring to it. otherwise almost exactly like mine. I'm originally from Maryland but I've lived absolutely everywhere.

It's the Texas and California accents hugging a general American accent, with bat wings. By the way, I call them, "pe-Kans!" because it sounds like a six shooter.

I say Day-ta not da-tah Otherwise..Chandler here.. Speak the same

I say Day-ta not da-tah Otherwise..Chandler here.. Speak the same

Literally saw the vids today, 3 or 4 of em'.. ... Started skipping to find they go on Cali.. Utah.. Nothing Arizonan! We really mostly don't have accents.. Weird to claim.. But whites here.. Don't have twang zang, just bland ok amurican. Of course we have LOTS.. A plethora of transplanys.. Mexicans in general.. A lot of blacks after hurricane Katrina came here.. So we have natives, a few Chicano and piasa English.. Some western Few southern Mostly .."normal"

There's more where that came from, why did we never do follow up vids? 😂

They should add roof and sorry to that list.

Southern guy here I have a Kansas and Carolina/Texas accent, it makes me 😊 happy, all I'm saying is that there is country in everyone. It's America we're Americans, it's neat seeing little differences.

Try the pesto one! It’s delicious too!!

As a linguistic student I am so grateful for this challenge! So many accents to analyze, thanks a lot

It’s a typical West Coast accent here in Arizona. If you think your gonna find something even more interesting your not. We honestly speak proper do to us being from the West Coast and also being a Mostly white/European state.

Gross 😝 but fascinating...

I was born in Chicago (for 6 years) but basically grew up in Phoenix for the past 14 years. I got most of your features, but the combination of my initial midwest birth, adaptions from other accents via increasingly globalized culture (such as my generation's favorite music being made by AAVE speakers), and my Russian-speaking family made me say things differently. Like I say y'all, say pajamas like pa-JAH-mas (same sound as palm), say salmon like SAL-m'n not Sah-men, and find it hard not to pronounce a few words like mayonnaise, pomegranate, and bandana the Russian way. My pronunciation when I'm speaking full American English definitely has the usual Arizonan trademarks of slurring words together, suppressing and cutting off T-sounds, and going for as few syllables as possible, just to keep a smooth flow even in casual conversation. If I encounter a non-English word I'm not familiar with I would either try to pronounce it Spanish-ly b/c of all the Hispanic culture I was surrounded by down here, or Russian-ly due to my parents' accents. I drop that flow completely when talking to someone who is ESL like my parents, expanding contractions and sounding out stuff to ensure that my point gets across.

The one major difference between us, and I’m from North Texas, was both. You kind of said “Bolth” but I say it without the “l”, like the first part of “boat”, “BOth”

Cymraeg da!

Ok I hear it know. We speak in a relaxed way, where the story gets boring, but we some how make it through.

I'm from Tempe half Hispanic and I have the general accent for sure

You got some drawl. I know I'm super late
