It's a sad thing, I believe, at least, when we lose our accents. Who wants just a bland old Midwestern standard American accent! I don't! I think our accents give us color and character. Just my opinion, others may look at an accent as lowering oneself. Thank you for watching! That accent is still in you somewhere!

[@dakotahunter19]

I still have my accent Im 15 I have a Cajun accent!!!

[@yourstruly2492]

@katelyn Sunshine I agree. Idw lose my Long Island accent

[@bradleylaford1526]

XOXOXO

[@ArtistsCry13]

Midwestern accents have their own character. The standard American accent is a hodge podge of a bunch of different reason. You can’t possibly listen to a Chicago and think of it as bland.

[@Scoat]

Super interesting, I wish I kept my Victorian Australian accent rather than gain a more basic Australian accent when I moved up North.

[@deborahsuewho7667]

One of the most interesting American accents.

[@harmonyzmyname]

I love the New Orleans accent... The creole influence on the way the words are pronounced are amazing! Way different from other parts of Louisiana.

[@CleverNameTBD]

They're all better than northern La. Just saying. Lol

[@bgoat97]

This isn’t new orleans

[@CleverNameTBD]

@@bgoat97 when people think of NY, it's rarely ever Syracuse. Frustrating, but not surprising that that never think of places like Lafayette, Breaux Bridge, Opelousas, etc.

[@jerrellsmith6867]

harmonyzmyne no offence but you’ll black folks from New Orleans have the best dialect accent compare to white folks from New Orleans period hands down not even close💯

[@CleverNameTBD]

Im from opelousas/Lafayette and I knew your accent RIGHT AWAY

[@silencespeaksloudest]

I live in Louisiana, but I don't have that thick of an accent, but go like one town over and everyone has it. It's strange how some places will have that thick accent and some won't. But we pronounce everything like that, yet without the accent.

Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this vid! I've always been fascinated with Louisiana accents (there are so many!). I'm actually including a character from Louisiana in my next story (I'm a writer) so this is a big help.

[@gennifooo]

Oh my! I love your accent. I think out of all of these videos i've watched yours has to be my favorite.

[@EllEnchanted]

Dang! I really love this accent so much!

[@rodgerbrown2430]

dont know which is more cute her or her accent.

[@rodgerbrown2430]

and yeah, it does sort of sound like a Southern colonial version of a new jersey accent or something. That's interesting. Real different from the rest of the South. But this girl has some New Orleans "yat" influence in her speech too.IMO Not just only southwest LA Cajun. alot of people from New Orleans get asked if they are from New York because of the "Yat" accent. It was influenced not only by Cajuns but by Irish and even Italian settlers as well, or so I've read. That's probably why it sounds similar to a Jersey or New York accent

[@Pantdino]

Started listening to 1 of your videos and before you knew it I listened to 2 more of them. Used to live in Gretna for the first 9 years of my life and probably didn't have a big accent, but now I wish I did. Thanks for posting what I used to hear and what I miss.

[@RetroJenny]

I love your accent. I'm from the northeastern part of Louisiana, and people here sound no different than those from Mississippi and Alabama. My grandmother was from Cajun country and had an awesome accent similar to yours.

[@0b00h00]

I am from upper Michigan, which has an accent very similar to Canadian with some Finnish influence as well. I've been in southern Louisiana a few times now and it blows my mind the similarities between the Cajun and Canadian accents. Historically and culturally of course it makes sense, but with how strong the southern accent is, you'd think it would have diluted by now. But every time I am in the Beaux Bridge area I hear a local talk and instinctly think to myself I HEAR A CANADIAN! It's so cool to see and hear this accent and culture live on despite all the displacement, and every time I hear a southern Louisiana person talk it reminds me of home... in Michigan. How crazy is that?

[@shahae6348]

hehe! I had to subscribe to you because you are obviously my Louisiana home girl! My grandparents are from your area, but I do not sound anything like you! Keep up the beautiful Acadian accent!

great tag!!! lmao Im from New Iberia, and I never realized how different south Louisiana accents and sayings are diffent from other parts of the state and countries.I didn't realize that I always say "TI-YA" for "tire" either.lmao. You hit everything on the head !

[@TheMaize1230]

Im glad that you left these comments. It is very true how we, including myself, do not realize how much we use both languages here because it's just second nature from hearing it all of our lives. SO very true that sadly, the fluent language of Cajun and creole French is barely spoken by the young generation. The culture, heritage, and traditions still live on, but the language is dying with our grandparents, and the older parents. I do have to give props to local businesses that promote....

[@AaronLacyJr]

Awesome accent tag! I hear the story about "The Devil beating his wife" from my parents even today.

[@buckaroobonsi555]

My Dad was in the Army so I have been around people from every part of the USA and the world. To me accents are like eye color, or hair color. Their is no right one or wrong one they are all beautiful. When combined with our personality and our idea's they kind of define us in some ways.I have never understood why anyone would tease anyone over an accent. Your accent is beautiful and so are you. Cajun cooking is so under ratted and over looked and so darn good!

[@wanitabrown3958]

I'm from Tennessee, and when we're talking about a carbonated beverage, it's always a Coke, no matter if it's Pepsi or Mt Dew, or any flavor. I thought it was just a Tennessee thing.

Aww Sha. I lived in Cajun Country for years. The girls there are so cute and I love the accent.

[@TheMaize1230]

Thanks, I agree with you. Accents not only come from living in the place you live. I believe how your parents speak ,if they are originally from a different place than the place that they raised you, that their own accents influences your own and it all meshes together into the unique accent that each person has. Cajun cooking is so rich and colorful and it tastes like a rainbow in your mouth! Many try to replicate, but It cannot be replicated !

You are so spot on with the -er/-a thing. I'm from Breaux Bridge. A lot of people here do it and none of us really realize it because we're so used to it. Everything is coke, at least to everyone I know. Only one thing I do/say different is, what you call a buggy, I do call a basket.

[@willrosenberg3891]

i love accents. My favorite by far is the Australian accent, but now that Ive heard yours it definitely tops it. It sounds like a combination of traditional southern drawl mixed with New Jersey/New York City/ black people and French. I guess it comes from the mesh of all the plurality of culture that has been around since New Orleans was founded by the French.

[@TheMaize1230]

That is an extremely small minded perception on accents. I have an education and I do not feel the need to have to prove that to you. There is not one person in this world who does not have an accent...if you can speak and you are not deaf then you have an accent (no offense to deaf people). Based on the location that one grows up in each person has their own regional way of pronouncing or their words, or how they inflect certain pronunciations. Understand that Mr. Educated proper English.
