Im from tennesee, and the accents are so random it's hard to categorize. And i think it's like that for the whole US

The only three speakers in this video that were spot on, as far as my ears are concerned, was the lady from Tennessee, and the guy from New York and the guy from Wisconsin

The chick from Florida speaks Spanish and says that’s the common accent in the state. Reality is that a Florida accent is actually similar to a Georgia accent. She along with other Latinos are foreigners who mass migrated to the state.

[@losonamission]

I definitely agree because I’m from Florida. Tallahasseee to be exact

@@TheBeesleys99 Personal example: I'm from Ohio. People in northern Ohio sound very different from those in southern Ohio. Dialects can differ within a state, too. Staying within Ohio, in Cleveland, the strip of grass between the street and the sidewalk is called a "tree lawn." In Akron (another Ohio city not far from Cleveland), that same piece of grass is called a "devil strip." I've never heard either term used in my hometown, yet these two cities are only about 2 - 2.5 hours away from me. That's just one example.

[@saragoldsmith2913]

@beesley I am from Southern Indiana. The more south you go in the state the more South has influenced the language and even the food. Southern Indiana has a large population that moved from Tennessee and Kentucky between the 1940-1970 due to the effects of the Great Depression. (Some areas never recovered.) So the children and grandchildren have a twang to their speech, and use words that are common to the South. Northern Indiana has more of a nasal speech like Michigan. But Central Indiana, where the women in the video was likely from has a very American TV accent. The accent changes even from city to city depending on which part of the state you live in. We also have Amish communities which will change accents as well. Not including vocabulary can change due to religious believes that are common in the area. The vocabulary also changes due to if your area has a high numbers of immigrants or foreign workers. (Where I live we have a high number of Indian, Latinos, and people from the UK. So vocabulary is different due to this reason. And it also effects the accents.) like you said in the video, the people who you are around changes your accent.

[@corvus1374]

I gotta say, the Texan representative was underwhelming. It's a little lazier, a little slower; words kind of lean on each other a bit. The movie 'Secondhand Lions' actually did a really good job with the accents there.

[@tinasmith7787]

Just to further blow your mind, each state has multiple accents within it.

[@mindweavers]

When I was in my 20's I moved from Wisconsin to Arkansas. It was quite the culture shock as things in Arkansas are much slower including speach. Here in Arkansas a far is not a distance it's something you light to stay warm. In Wisconsin if you ask for directions you will get a very quick breakdown of how to get there such as go past this and then you will pass that, here in Arkansas it's yonder past the "fill in the blank". Ya'll come back now. My family in Wisconsin tease me about my southern accent, but here in Arkansas they are always asking are you from up north?

[@neonoires]

Fun fact, the accents tend to be thicker down south and on the east coast than in the west because people in the east and south have been speaking English longer. Western states tend to sound the same unless you come across some cowboy-esque places, Natives, and Latino people. That's not to say they don't have accents because they certainly do but a lot of accents on the east coast in particular are more identifiable than if you're from the west. I also think a lot of Americans have a southern twang to our accents mixed with the California American English because that is considered the standard accent.

Texas was settled by a lot of people from TN, as to why the accents sound similar. Tn is called the volunteer state cause they volunteered to help win the Texas Republic from Mexico. Sam Houston etc Davy Crocket etc....

[@trogdortheburninator3621]

Linguistics assimilation is a real thing. I'm from Nevada and have lived in Mississippi for several years and I notice the twang popping in my vocabulary unintentionally. Not as bad as when one of my sisters moved to North Dakota. She was Oooo dragging words like crazy.

[@midniteillusion3]

We don’t really say soda-pop in Oregon. It’s usually one or the other. I’d say Oregon, Washington, and California sound the same unless you’re talking to someone who has a “surfer” accent. FYI you do have a really strong regional accent.

[@DoulaGarcia]

We used to say soda pop all the time when I was growing up. Maybe it's time period and small town vs city?

[@kjsalomonsen9299]

I grew up in Minnesota and didn't think I had an accent until I moved a 1000 miles away and heard myself recorded. OMG! I worked at getting rid of my MN accent. My daughter was 4yrs old when we moved she still has her accent when she says--phone, home, comb etc. And, yes, when people find out where I'm from they ask me to do the accent like they sound in the movie FARGO. lol

[@hop775]

[@kay_sou]

I know it's been mentioned, but they were way off on Michigan. The Michigander accent is all about making words easier to say faster, because most Michiganders speak really fast. We often times cut syllables from words for ease of speaking. Things like saying "mier" instead of "mirror", "cran" instead of "crayon", "groshries" instead of "groceries", or "rurl" instead of "rural". Sometimes we add vowels to words to make them easier too. Things like saying "nuke-u-ler" instead of "nuclear", or "real-a-tor" instead of "realtor" (the american word for a real estate agent). We also don't do very well with t's and d's when they're in the middle or at the end of a word. We often skip saying them altogether, instead making a sound called a glottal stop, which apparently is used when saying something like "uh-oh" in between the two sounds, and is also used in the British Cockney accent in words like "Butter". Things "de-troi-" instead of "Dee-troit", "locay-" instead of "locate", "Kitten" becomes "kih'ihn", and "button" becomes "buh'ohn". We also like to add the possessive 's to business names for some reason. JCPenny becomes Penny's, Meijer becomes Meijer's, Kroger becomes Kroger's, etc. Some Michiganders also say "melk" instead of "milk" due to the states large Dutch population, but I personally think that one's a crime.

[@C.O.G.]

Yes. My daughter in law and her family are Michiganders transplanted to east Tennessee. Her parents pronounce Amber as Im-ber and hamburger as him-burger. Like the little glove guy does in the Hamburger Helper commercials.

[@penguingogglez]

It'd be interesting to see you do a similar reaction video for Aussie accents. There are a few distinct accents that probably sound the same to everyone else in the world but sound different us. I do find it interesting how everyone gets their accent though, I'm an Aussie with an Irish mother and I grew up watching a lot of British TV so my accent is a little all over the place haha

[@TheBeesleys99]

Yeah I need to do that! Awesome ahah!

That WV accent is on representative of the deep southern part. The northern part (where more of the population is) has an accent similar to the Ohio/Pennsylvannia people.

Most of the time accents for each state is how everyone says certain words differently because most of the time everyone sounds the same until that phrase or word choice comes into play.

As an American, I can tell you that so many British accents sound COMPLETELY different. Maybe I can tell so well because I watch a lot of British KZbinrs? But I also don't even hear the British accent at first because I'm so accustomed to it. 🤷‍♀️ I also have started saying Tuesday with a CH sound sometimes like British people do and words I first heard in a British accent, I say in a British accent, like roadman English.

[@autumn557]

A lot of Americans say they don’t have an accent because it’s not “exciting” Like “yeah I sound American so I sound not exotic and it’s not an accent” But in other countries it’s an “American accent” I think Florida is considered not having an accent to other Americans.

[@darcy8333]

Just one interesting thing I noticed in that, especially in the Northeast, the accents from major cities like Chicago and New York can sound completely different than those from the state as a whole, even if they are more recognizable. I'm from upstate New York and I think we have more in common with Chicago then with NYC, especially around the Great Lakes.

[@darcy8333]

@M W just for reference, I live in the utica area and spend my summers in the Adirondacks. Also, I'm speaking from experience and I don't think upstate accents have that much in common with ones from the city. I said upstate as a general term because not everyone knows the different regions of New York state. If you have noticed something different I would love to hear it! I find accents really interesting

[@melaninqueen2413]

I'm OG from Michigan but moved to the southern region of the country when I was 11. I don't think my accent change much, because southerners tell me they don't hear a twang... that I sound neutral, proper, like a standard American accent. While back home, majority say that I don't sound different while a few say that I have a twang. It's complicated.

[@jimhoward4312]

In Missouri we have 3 distinct accents; St. Louis, Kansas City & Rural. (1) the St. Louis accent sounds similar to a Chicago accent, for example, the letter E in the word PEN is very pronounced so that it sounds like P(EH)N, while in Kansas City the same word is pronounced PIN. (2) the Kansas City accent is very subtle and sounds very similar to a dry midwestern accents found in Kansas, Nebraska and parts of Iowa. (3) Rural Missouri has what is called the "Missoura Drawl". It's a very slow accent almost southern but not quite. Rural areas close to the major metro area's tend to take on those accents. There could also be a 4th accent in Springfield but the jury is still out on that one.

[@tennoryu2794]

I'm from Maryland and I realized what my accent was when I got a joke book for my friends called "How to Speak Baltimorese" and for a laugh I was looking through it and realized "Ah hell I actually do talk like this". For example I tend to pronounce ambulance as amblance. Maryland seems like we took the faster spoken words from the north and the more drawn out sentences from the south.

[@mzwitty]

There is more accent variety in the eastern half of the US because that is the part that has been settled the longest, so there has more time for regional differences to develop.

[@GEReyn]

Too bad there wasn't time for all the regional accents throughout the country. Upstate New Yorkers sound far different from those in NYC, and city dwellers in Kentucky have a much different accent than those in the countryside.

[@bookwoman53]

I grew up in and around Detroit Michigan and I never thought I had an accent. Then I moved 650 south to Alabama and they think I talk funny but I think they talk funny. We even have different words for the same thing and for example in Michigan we say you guys to describe a crowd while down here they say yall and in Michigan we say pop to describe a soda while many people in Alabama either just say soda or they call everything a coke even if it is a different brand and Michiganders say shopping cart while Alabamians say buggy. Alabamians talk slower and deeper while Michiganders talk in a higher nasally pitch and faster.

[@rebeccaoconnor6938]

As a Michigander myself that moved to Tennessee then to Florence, Alabama, I had the same experience. They would say "mow the grass" and "Roll the yard," for Teepee on Devils Night.

But you can, (or at least I can) always identify the eastern Montana accent. I feel like the there's a particular way they say their t's, their s's, and their vowels. It's very subtle, though.

The people they chose for this video are not good examples... they chose people who are probably more big city type. For example: Michigan. They chose the Detroit metro / Ann Arbor / Lansing / Grand Rapids etc... instead of the UP or Bay City or Mackinac City. They chose people from areas that are more American Blended.

Right?! I feel like that is the case with most of these accents. Then you have very big differences in states. For example, the accent in Philly is a lot different than the one in Pittsburgh. I've lived in WV, PA, MO, and AL. The only one they got right was the Alabama one. Every other accent sounds completely different than the majority of the people sound.

[@mjohns6636]

This video was just full of people imitating there states accent instead of having people with the states actual accent. In all of the states there are people who speak in a heavy or a very light state accent. It just depends on there parents and where there parents grew up because that’s who’s teaching you how to speak initially.

I live in SE Wisconsin and I don't talk like that. I've heard it's only people in the north that do. Also while it's true that a lot of the midwest says pop it's not true for all areas. I live near MIlwaukee and it's always been soda to me.

Strange thing about this vid. It seems like they got a bunch of "city people"... basically Americans who sound very similar, no matter what state they are in. And then they do "local" accents, usually describing people in more rural types of areas, who have more distinct accents. I've noticed this in real life, quite a bit, where I'll talk to someone from Texas, and they sound like they could be from Maryland.

I have a typical deep south accent from Georgia. All I have to do is drive ten minutes in the country and it doesn't even sound english. I used to get cursed at by my boss because I couldn't understand him. I'm pretty sure each state has multiple regional accents.

I really hope you get to make more visits to the US. It’s obvious you are fascinated by it.

My boss and good friend is from bolton england. We live in Ohio and some people have a hard time understanding him. Lighter but we say lider in pronunciation water sounds like wader several others. I also tease him it's nee-son not nissan for the car and that's nee-son for japanese for correct pronunciation. He shows me all the different english accents

[@TheBeesleys99]

Nice been to bolton a few times! Also love the banter ahah!

[@harleyhodge8842]

Ok fun fact since it's my favorite case of pronounce not lining up: Cherryville in North Carolina isn't pronounced cherry-ville it's pronounced cheer-ville. Like cheerwine which soda in the same area.

[@user-rl7cw9eg8e]

America having so many accents is the most American thing

[@TheBeesleys99]

Ahah its reyt!

[@kayden2119]
