I've heard a lot of subtly different Rhode Island accents. Its a state situated around a bay and though small I think there's a fair bit of separation between east and west, and Providence and Newport. In addition its a state with lots of immigrants. Whether their families were Portuguese, Italian, French, Polish, British or maybe Irish, can I think also be an influence. I came on here to hear what my relatives sound like as half my family are from Rhode Island and the accent reminds me of childhood memories. They sometimes have very heavy accents depending on the occasion and whether they're around lots of people from other states they don't know that well (in which case they might tone it down, or not care at all and flaunt it depending). This isn't quite what they sound like but the al- in 'always' did remind me.

General rule is if a word ends with an "r", drop it (with specific exceptions where a "v" or "w" sound is substituted, such as "chowdew" instead of "chowder", unlike Boston which to my knowledge always drops no "matta" what), and add an "r" to words ending in "a" such as "pizzer" or "idear". In older generations of the accent (say, my parents' generation and older, but not necessarily anyone my age), "r" is also sometimes substituted in the middle of words for "w" or "v", such as the name "Chevyl" (Cheryl) or "tewn" (turn). Very important w the RI accent is also different words not used elsewhere, even Boston. Fun fact: due to the amount of words used only in RI and not other places, RI is the only American accent to be technically considered a dialect of English rather than just an accent of it. These include bubbler ("bubblah") instead of drinking fountain, bunking ("bunkin'") school instead of skipping school, and cabinet ("caeb'neh'") instead of a frappe or milkshake. This along with the adverb "wicked" and the plural "yous" (pronounced "yiz") makes the RI dialect a unique animal indeed. Unfortunately, this dialect is seen as lower class or less educated in some parts of RI, so many deny it or say it sounds "fake". I assure you it's real and, after living in NYC for the last 7 years and pretty wicked pissah of an accent, I get made fun of constantly for it. Anyways, this was a good first try!
@JohnBest7 жыл бұрын
born here, and had no idea that we're the ones who say bunking school. The heavy accent really is more prevalent in the cities where older (not elderly, but including the elderly) people live. I live more or less across the bay from Newport, and while my father from Providence sounds like Joe Pesci, I have more of a common accent. Although I have been made fun of when I traveled to the great lakes area of Ohio. lol

Matt, I have lived in RI for 12 1/2 years but originally from Brooklyn NY. I thought you got some stuff correct but RI’ers all have different sounds based on which area they’re from. You’ll have to listen to the different nuances of RI’ers. Newporters sound different than someone from South County and people from Cranston and Federal Hill which is in providence sound different and then you get the real thick old timey accents from the swamp Yankees who live in the more rural parts of the state like Coventry, Exeter, and Hope Valley. Then there’s folks from the east bay (Aquidneck island) that aren’t from Newport but live “on the island” also sound different. There are some similarities though amongst most RI’ers which you did cover in your tutorial but you didn’t mention adding and dropping of the letter R like in the word idea people here say idear 🤷🏻♀️ but also the r in the word nurse is very prevalent here and it drives me crazy. I’m wondering if the reason they do that is due to mostly an English background? Because that is the only other accent I can liken that to. It’s really bizarre. They say it as an H instead of R like nuhse. I’d like to check out some of your other tutorials. I have been to around 46 states in the US and love listening to and trying to mimic various accents. You have a cool job btw

Native Rhode Islander here with a semi-strong accent. I would say "O+consonants" is more like the annoying AEM sound of "AM". Like a New Yorker. As in "Put the dishes AH-N T-AH-P of the table." Where as Boston and Maine would be more like "AWN TAWP". More examples, I say the word "GOLF" like "GAHLF". Saying FLAHRIDA vs FLORIDA is to me the biggest give away that you're from RI. I've never heard it anywhere else like that. Words that are plural and end in ERS change to IZ, As in "sawsage and PEPPIZ" and "make sure you take ya "WORKIZ CAHMP!" (Worker's Comp). AR sounds in the middle of words are all AH but I feel like AR at the end of a word gets pronounced. Think of the word "COT", the bed you sleep on. Say it that exact way for the Rhode Island "CART". Same as "DOCK", and RI "DARK!" For words ending in AR there is no consistency! For example I'd say CEDAR "see-der" and MOLAR "mo-ler" but FAMILIAR as in "he doesn't look familiah to me". Hope this helps! You've got a good "stAHt!" 😂😜

Plus I've seen KZbin accent tag videos where RI speakers pronounce the word probably with the short o.

I was born in RI and grew up in Woonsocket until my family moved to northern NJ just 15 min outside of NYC when I was 7. I'll never forget my first day in elementary school when I asked to go to the bubblah and all the kids started laughing. Fast forward nearly 30 years and I have a PhD in sociolinguistics, go figure. In fact, I'm starting a new research project on RI English. The RI accent is interesting because it has more in common with oldschool NY than Boston despite being geographically closer. But this has a lot to do with historic migration patterns, among other reasons. There's a lot of cool overlaps in vocabulary and pronunciation with different parts of England and the US found in this little part of New England. Of course, accents are constantly changing and the youth don't speak the same way now as they did generations ago. In any case, I'll be visiting family and friends in lil Rhody this coming Wednesday for a week or so. If anybody is interested in being interviewed on the Rho Dielan' accent let me know!

I've got a couple things down about the accent, like how a W always turns at least halfway, if not fully, into a V, and the Rs are a bit more pronounced than in English (I think...?), but I want to be able to better learn this accent. I feel like there's a recent revival of Norse culture happening, too, like TV shows about Vikings and such, so the accent might help you, too, in reading audiobooks, if that's the case. Thanks for the awesome tutorials! If nothing else, they're a fantastic place to start, and always really helpful.

As small as Rhode Island (Ruh Dyland) is, the accents vary around the state. There's no one RI accent. There's lots of ethnic influence in the accent from the state's history of manufacturing in the 1900's. What's strange is the state is still 2/3rds rural with 420+ miles of coastline.

The most Rhode Island-y pronunciation has to be Florida; it is pronounced Flahvida and that is spoken almost entirely throungh the sinuses

In Rhode Island the city that every holds up as having the most accented speach is Cranston (super nasal ponunciation Craaanst'n). In Cranston, when there is an "R" in the middle of a word, where you can't really turn it into an "AH" sound, (typically this would be in a case where a sylable other than the first starts with an "R" sound) it oven get replaced by a swallowed "V" sound. Almost a combination of "V" and "R" simlar to the "RLD" thing that happens with Japanese pronunciations Flavida is the shining example of this. Say Florida as nasal-y as you can but replace the "R" with a "V" and you'll be pretty close. This is the quintessential Rhode Island acceent: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIvUiXywqJujrtU When she says "sincerity" at 0:21 in the video she almost make it into a "v". I looked around the internet quite a bit and couldn't find a great example of it because it occurs in only a limited number of words. In any case, here are a few examples of some of the most RI accents: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYKYZpKOi8R7hrc kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJrUe6CkgdCNjbs kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3zGhmaCp7KiaJY

Yeah, it was more a cranston/johnston accent. The real challenge is to do the swamp yankee one from the rural areas. Now THATS an accent. Sounds completely different from the cities. Its amazing considering how small a state we are.
