[@brittanyamick7120]

Im a Hoosier born and raised and I call my grandparents Mamaw and papaw.

[@christopherrouth9383]

I wish I could like this 100 times.

[@kennedy78]

Brittany Amick Same!!!

[@houseofwagners1292]

Southern Indiana and same

[@danaharrison2070]

And my grandkids call us mamaw and papaw, too. Even though we don't live in Indiana anymore.

[@janiceisaacs6755]

Same here, but both my parents were from KY so there's that. 😂

[@36isnotold]

Your brother is cracking me up. I'm from Northern Indiana and he doesn't have an accent to me. I do question his 'sun shower' but love 'bye you guys'-that's right. that's how it's done!

[@lucas.s017]

I’m from south eastern Indiana and your brother sounds “normal” to me

[@TheBengtsonFamily3]

I'm from Southern Indiana and I sound like your brother! haha : ) GO HOOSIERS!

[@emilyvick3643]

Stephanie Akers sane here

[@houseofwagners1292]

I'm also in southern Indiana and told I sound like I'm from the south. Most usually guess Mississippi or Alabama.

[@miladmehrbod5289]

I aatched it after 7 years.and u said no one is going to watch it. Heh i enjoyed ..i hope u guys are still safe and happy

[@exstacc1886]

indiana accents chameleon like, we're very capable of mocking southern accents to a T

[@liam-man7265]

I never noticed just how different our pronunciations are for much of these words even though we all speak the same language and live in the same country. It’s very impressive. 👍

[@sugarfalls1]

You guys look so much alike! It's nice to see a brother and sister getting along so well. I'd love to know which one of you is older. I think it's the sister. Anyway, nicely done!

[@rhec.williegaming7504]

I'm form southern Indiana and I'm as southern as her 😂😂

[@oliviagrace6376]

I am from Indiana and i didn't know that we had an accent accept that we say oil weird.I also knew that the closer you get to Kentucky in Indiana the more the accent comes

[@landoflogic107]

My grandparents grew up in Crawford County and the Hoosier accent is a lot stronger.

[@kailechante9664]

Lol do we?

[@toad734]

You both sound southern but the girl way more deep south / South Atlantic

[@LadyTreble]

LMBOOOOO!!! This is so funny and cute! I thoroughly enjoyed watching this! OMG though, how did you develop a southern accent after only FIVE years!? That is so cool!!

[@abnerklippenblat4939]

I feel your brother's anguish. The look on his face says it all. You are betraying your culture and your people by pretending to be a southerner. You are not a southerner, you are a Hoosier and Midwest is master race.

[@davec.2074]

Jeez, I was gonna say something funny, but I can't top this...

[@36isnotold]

Indeed it is, well said!

[@36isnotold]

I'm laughing at that comment again, and with that profile picture, how can you argue with that face?

[@StarAnnasDream]

Abner Klippenblat I agree!!!! Ridiculous. I was born n raised in Indiana, moved to Louisiana,Ohio,KY, & still sound Hoosier

[@ShamrockNRoller]

Perfect comment. I couldn't agree more. I'm from central Indiana, but now I'm having to live in southern Indiana, and it's horrible here. Everyone around me wants to be Southern so bad, but this is a Midwestern state that fought for the North in the Civil War. They're all rude, mean, and stupid here, so they fit MUCH better with the South than the North.

[@piratemacfan]

Somebody DID watch your video. Somebody from southern Indiana. Hope you enjoy a cold COKE for your efforts. My favorite coke is either A&W root beer or Coke Zero, but sometimes I throw a Diet Mountain Dew into the grocery cart for my teenage son. Bye!

[@headinthecloudsagain1735]

Root beer is not coke

[@nathanherr2407]

In Indiana it's pop, we aren't in the south.

[@doclinny]

+nathan herr What? We say soda around here.

[@undeadspacewalker5288]

Linquistic I've lived in central Indiana my whole life. You say soda you're not from around here. Sounds goofy

[@boogmiller6514]

Finally, someone really from Indiana haha!, it's all a coke if it's "soda, pop etc."! I've been trying to tell my wife this for years! Shes a from everywhere military brat with what is say is a ?Californian? accent. Her mom is from wiscansin haha! So I call her a south canadian and her dad's from Virginia and sounds like a fast talking southern black gentleman would haha!

[@kayehess5238]

Well this was interesting! I grew up as a Hoosier, but moved to Atlanta as a young Sr.Citizen :) So I can identify with just about all that each of y'all said :) Except buggy, never called a grocery cart a buggy. But I loved watching y'all & would love to see you do more!!

[@allisonrapp6608]

I’m from Midwest and he sounds just like us!

[@graceelizabeth5918]

I am a Hoosier! Born and raised!!!

[@TheMonkshood]

This was super entertaining!

[@danaharrison2070]

Hows come they didn't say warsh, orl, and probly? Those are pure Hoosier, and that's how i talk.

[@nexuami]

i say wahsh, oil/awl, and prolly

[@_Keith_]

"Noone's gonna watch this." I watched it! Thanks.

[@mjmeadows1016]

I get some minor accent changes but changing the pronunciation of Aunt, Caramel, pecan and saying y’all is completely intentional! I am a hoosier in SC.

[@forsythe3963]

Yup

[@ThievesCairn]

I was born and raised for the most part in Alabama, so a southern state. I have a Hoosier accent without a doubt, but my sister has more of a "Southern drawl". My boyfriend is from Indiana and so is his mom. His younger sisters are born in the Georgia, where I am currently living, and they have the same accent as my sister. I know it is common to have your accent change after moving, but I rarely see or hear of anyone born in an area with an accent that is for another region

[@warreneckels4945]

Neat! Which Hoosier accent? The I-69 accent from Indy northeast to Fort Wayne? (Granted, that part of the state believes that it _is_ the Hoosier state and that South Bend, Gary, Terre Haute and Evansville are imposters.) Or maybe it's one of the five along I-65 from Gary to Lafayette: The Gary area is the boundary between Chicago Urban and northern Midwest/Great Lakes, which then turn briefly to Appalachian along the Kankakee to North Midlands until you reach Greater Lafayette, where North Midlands and General American dominate, then back to North Midlands with pockets of South Midlands. General American dominates in Indianapolis from downtown north to the suburbs.

[@ericzerkle5214]

Im 100% Hoosier and damn proud of it.. I get told i have an accent when i got to see my relatives in NY State.

[@AndrewGivens]

I love that you say Saath Cehhrlana like the locals do

[@travismalone1985]

A big one is what do you call a sale in a person's yard? yard sale-rummage sale- lawn sale, garage sale, rummy sale etc

Rain while the sun is shining is called “the devil beating his wife”

[@sp00g37]

this is something ive noticed in myself, especially with us having such a neutral accent. when i lived in florida for a year, i definitely started picking up more of the slur even though it was quicker. im in colorado, i can get a bit of a not-draw, idk how to put it. wyoming gave me the same thing. but when i go home and speak with my buddies, ill notice them slowly pick it up. i feel like we get this propper goofy country accent. now, i hate it, but i have transitioned to soda. but even then, it depends on who im talking to.

[@BRob-mj4tc]

I'm from Southern Indiana and for a bit I moved to Indianapolis and all my friends there made fun of me for having a Southern accent so I don't know guess it depends on which part of indiana you're from. The towns near Kentucky are pretty southern.

[@davec.2074]

LOL! Born and raised in 'accentless' Elkhart Indiana! Hey everyone, are we nasal enough for you?? :) :) I've lived most of my adult life in Illinois, so my accent has softened a lot. Now I live in Indianapolis, which is a weird experience--it's really a somewhat Southern town culturally, but with a northern accent. I lived in New Orleans for a time too (N'AW-lins as the locals say). For a time after I moved back, I'd occasionally get an odd look and realize that I had just said 'Ah neoh' instead of 'I know'. But I never said 'Wheh y'at'? instead of 'how are ya?'

[@LittleBoSleepASMR]

I’m from Elkhart as well and have lived in Los Angeles the past five years and I have been told I have an accent more times than I can count hahaha

[@aidanfletcher1236]

I was born in Elkhart

[@beloved32782]

I'm from indy and wareya'at, is regular

[@biohazard9164]

I'm from southern Indiana close to Kentucky, and we (or atleast my family does) say y'all

[@warreneckels4945]

Y'all seems to be trekking northward, but the farther north it gets, the more it replaces the second person plural (which the English language has lacked). Further south, it seems to substitute for "you".

[@transamgal1996]

I'm from Indiana and sound like a combination of the two. I say Tomata, Potata, Pop, lightnin bug, y'all... My boyfriend is from Tennessee and his accent is a lot heavier but I sound pretty southern.

[@toddb9818]

I am from Indiana and move to Florida I live in Indiana for 40 plus years and live in Florida for 12 year and people say I I say words different pop will all way be pop great video

[@subninja8069]

I have a mix of both really.

[@thatindianafantif5147]

I used to live in Indiana. And now I live in Savannah Georgia

The Mason-Dixon Line is actually US Highway 40 in Indiana

[@subninja8069]

Yea That's an acceptable line of thinking Once you hit Plainfield you get into the Southern part. So many fuckers with Rebel Flags and Trump flags too.

[@elainesmith4461]

I understand why, ( most, ask “me where are you from?”

[@ethanhill7261]

I'm also from Indiana

[@bishmyu]

You two are cute.

[@snooks5607]

I feel like the differences could've been clearer if they'd read the words to camera without hearing each other and then react to the recordings after .. maybe they could've even first talked to someone who shares their accent to imprint it a bit more (my parents are from different accented regions but lived their adult lives in the city and while they usually don't have accents I've noticed they switch to it when talking to family back home on the phone without even realising)

[@rainbowxd2694]

Hoosiers are what you call Midwest southern the closer you get to Kentucky the more southern you become I live a hour away from Louisville and I say the way he says thing but with a southern accent so the best of both worlds lol

[@andrewattenboroughtwothumb4697]

[@teresaanderson2136]

What part of Indiana were you from?

[@sillygoose4176]

And you left out tobogans

[@michaeltaulbee4222]

A good word to ask southern people is the simple word white that's when u hear an accent of any origin

[@heather199090]

I would pronounce white without the T unless I am trying to enunciate. I guess I just don't do it much. Is that weird? I'm from around the northern Indiana area.

[@judsongaiden9878]

I'm a Hoosier born and raised in northeast Indiana, but my mom's side of the family is from Ol' Virginie, so we all have mixed accents. That fits Indiana anyway since our state is a melting pot within a melting pot. Indiana is far more cosmopolitan than pop culture thinks we are. Definitely not a closed-off society (because then we wouldn't be the Crossroads of America). I like to think of us as The Shire and our people are very Hobbit-like (minus the Hobbit tendency toward closed-mindedness). 2:29 More generally known as a pill bug. Technically, they're crustaceans.

[@charlescoats5690]

yes pill bug

[@elainesmith4461]

I’m a mix of both Hoosier/Southern always ask where are You from? I have an extreme Southern draw. Most think Texas

[@lauraryan8921]

I watched it you guys.

[@10byrdie]

Hoosier accent really isn’t fair because I’m born and raised in Indy but other rural parts of Indiana sound super country/southern as if they are from another state. The Indy accent is more neutral.

[@praiseallah6086]

Good thing I live in central Indiana

[@tracypf2778]

When it's raining & the sun's still shining we say "The Devil's beatin' his wife." Y'all definitely don't sound southern to me. We say a drink or Coke, etc. you would never hear soda or pop here. The spider we call a Granddaddy Long Leg, this is coming from Middle Georgia. It's weird at how much different we all talk & sound.

[@anthonyb.720]

I say both versions of a lot of these words so now I'm just confused lol I don't know how I actually talk

[@anthonyb.720]

im from Fort Wayne btw
