A lot of these accents depend on what part of the state you're from and whether you're city or country. 50 isn't even the tip of the iceberg.

[@kazeryu17]

Agreed. Im in Norfolk Virginia and you hear all sorts of accents. You have the Norfolk accent that sounds like a stereotypical prison accent (Alabama mixed with New York). You have the regional Tidewater accent (pronounced "tadwahdah"). You have the eastern shore, which sounds like "🤠". Virginia Beach has the whole beach bum, surfer, stoner, thing going on. Some people out in Suffolk have that fog horn leg horn thing going on. Some people from the peninsula sound like they're from the band primus. There's also some random British sounding accents here and there, like the tangier island accent, and the high tide accent from Ocracoke Island pronounced "Hoi Toid". I can go on and on.

[@toodlescae]

@@kazeryu17 yeah. My sister lives in Virginia and I have other family there. Lived there while my bio-father was in Vietnam but our grandparents were old time hill folk. That accent would boggle his mind.

[@seangates1451]

@@toodlescaeagreed. Lifelong (47 years so far) Virginian here, definitely a lot of variety. My Dad’s family is from Chesterfield, so I grew up hearing that Tidewater accent. It gets mistaken for a Canadian accent sometimes because “house” and “about” might get pushed a little into “hoose” and “aboot” territory. And I love the way “isn’t,” “wasn’t” and “doesn’t” become “idn’t,” “wadn’t” and “dudn’t.” My mom’s from the Philadelphia suburbs and they tease each other because he says “fawg,” and “dawg,” and she says “fahg” and “dahg.”

[@toodlescae]

@@seangates1451 yeah. It didn't help that my grandparents were born around 1904 either.

[@pigs18]

I love that the Google captions can't understand the Boston accent either. It helps to think of America as "What if Europe was one country and mostly spoke one language?"

[@HarveyWallbangers2]

Yeah, the accents depend greatly on where in Europe people migrated from. In the Upper Midwest it was a lot of Scandinavians and Germans.

[@karenpassolano310]

Perfect way to explain it.

Yeah it basically is what if Europe only spoke English but still had the different regional dialects instead of different languages. The US is quite literally the size of Europe.

The word mate is rarely used in America, but when it is it usually refers to a sexual partner unlike the U.K. and Australia where the meaning Is usually platonic.

[@patriciapruitt2060]

I have never said “mate”. I grew up in Arizona, I now live in the middle of Illinois. My Arizona family says I have now have a “Midwest accent”.

[@WyattRyeSway]

My mom went to school at ISU but grew up in Skokie. She sounds different than my dad and my brothers and sisters and I who were born in Texas. Her dad, my grandpa, lived in the UK before moving to the US. His accent is a mixture of New York, UK and Yiddish. I don’t think there are 50 American accents though.

[@BlueTeam-John-Fred-Linda-Kelly]

As an arizonan I use "mate" a lot because I watched some British and Australian KZbinrs growing up, and I like to practice those accents to mix things up and keep daily life fun and interesting.

[@talltulip]

In some regions, the evening meal is called "supper," but it is called "dinner" in other areas. The midday meal is either called "lunch" or "dinner." So depending on where you live, your 3 daily meals are known as either: a) breakast, lunch & dinner; or b) breakfast, dinner & supper.

[@susanharrah3462]

Or breakfast, lunch, and supper

[@anndeecosita3586]

My grandparents are from Alabama and for them dinner and supper were different meals. In our culture dinner was like a heavy family meal around 5 pm - 6 pm where supper was a later lighter meal you didn’t gather for. I did a quick google search and found there are other people who consider dinner and supper as different meals. Another regional difference likely. It was breakfast, lunch, dinner, supper.

[@andreabryant9979]

From the northern Gulf Coast. I always said breakfast Lunch >casual Dinner >formal Supper & my dad had to warsh his hands & answered the phone with “yellow” 😂

[@kindredspiritbaseballmom7913]

Boston, Massachusetts, I believe she said "You gotta park the car in Harvard yard and give the guy a quarter for some chowder". For Maine, she said Bar Harbor not Baja. Lol. Bar Harbor is a city in Maine. Supper is Dinner.

[@andromedaspark2241]

It was the same growing up in Tennessee. Dinner traditionally was mid-day and Supper is nighttime.

[@marywood8794]

She pronounced the word woof when she was saying wolf. I know that my speech to text substituted wolf on the first one, because speech to text could not hear the "oo" and so corrected it to Wolf.

[@colonelb]

One of the things that's helpful when looking at American accents is to remember that different groups of people ended up settling different parts of the country at different times. The Midwest area, like North Dakota, Minnesota, etc., that area had a lot of Germans migrate there in the 1800s and so there is some traces of a German accent in that part of the country. In the "New England" area (the northeast, like Boston, Maine, etc.), there were a lot of Irish and Scottish folks that migrated there, and if you look at words that have a vowel followed by an r in the middle or end of them, like park, car, yard, etc., many Irish and Scottish folks will over-emphasize the vowel and barely say the r (Australia, New Zealand, and some British accents do that too, as in words like "butter" being pronounced "buttuh"), and so the immigrants that settled in that area from Ireland and Scottland brought that way of speaking over, and it evolved into the modern Boston accent where park becomes pah-k, car becomes cah, etc. (Oh and to say Massachusetts, just practice saying the parts separately: Mass, Ah, Chew, Sets, and then put them together.) The guy from Washington put an R sound in there so it sounded like War-shing-ton instead, and there's a joke that all the Rs left Boston and moved to Washington, lol. If you want to see more of a Boston accent and a great movie at the same time, check out Good Will Hunting. Great stuff bud, Cheers

[@robinmills8675]

I'm a Virginian and I say warsh. Weirdly, my sister does not. 🤷‍♀️ I never heard that about all the r's leaving Boston but it makes sense. 😂

[@kat021171]

My little brother and I were born in Connecticut and lived there in our early lives. When my parents moved us to their native Ohio (my older brother was also born in Ohio), my little brother was put in speech therapy class because he would always drop the 'r' in his name. Also, another good film for a Boston accent is "The Departed". Seeing Mark Wahlberg getting to use his native Southie accent is a thing of beauty.

[@rmlrl1971]

Massachusetts is pronounced Mass-a-chew-sits Park the car in Harvard yard and give the guy a quarter for some chowder. In Mass we tend to drop out R's and replace them with the word AH. So Chowder becomes Chowdah. The Maine accent she didn't say Baja, she said Bar Habor and supper (suppah) means dinner.

[@gracierose3076]

Years ago I knew a lady in the Midwest that both her kids sounded like they were from Boston. When I told her this, she didn't hear it. I think they grew out of it. But it was so strange, they were both from the plains of NE.

Boston she says, "You gotta park the car in Harvard yard and give the guy a quarter for some chowder". The US doesn’t say mate Australia and the UK do. Washington DC is between Maryland and Virginia, and is the founder of the US as you said. Washington State where they were talking about is on the West Coast next to Oregon. Washington DC isn’t a state it’s a commonwealth. I'm from Miami and every single person in most of Florida orders a Cortadito, even in no Spanish restaurants they use the term. And most white American people in Miami have the same Spanishy accent as the Spanish people. We speak in a sing song in Miami. But she was kind of ridiculous to use that as an example. Watch these by yourself they’re real short it’s an example of different Miami Accents that you’ll kick out of I’m sure. No one talks like Miami kzbin.info0VrCLOX648I?si=QAvwnFcixycfd80l kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWO5ZHisi9d7iNEsi=ISPHerRWKOdzi6A8 kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYmYXomGgcSckKMsi=vbp0nuuhpfDGWJxa

9:10 André's face became the 🤯 emoji. 😂😂 André, it's “You gotta park the car in Harvard yard and give the guard a quarter for some chowder.” A quarter is a 25¢ coin; Harvard is a university; chowder is a seafood soup. 11:40 “We gotta go up to Bar Harbor to get some lobster supper.” Bar Harbor is a town and supper = dinner. I'm from Pennsylvania - glad you love my state. 😁

[@gibsalot]

what people call the standard american accent is what is in all of the movies . they all come from Hollywood its accent is common along the west coast it has a very clear and proper enunciation

[@tomhalla426]

A Boston accent is non rhotic, dropping “r”s quite a lot, but different from some Southern accents that do the same. When I was a kid, President Kennedy had a prominent Boston accent.

[@anndeecosita3586]

Yeah some Southern accents don’t pronounce R’s very much at the end of words. Sugah, waduh, sistuh Or they might drop endings entirely like flo, sto, po and mo for floor, store, poor and more. New Orleans is New Awlins.

[@mistojen]

lol I had a friend that was from Boston when I was in college "Gotta park the car in Harvard Yard and give the guard a quarter for some chowder" jumped out at me but I laughed SO HARD at the fact that whoever did the closed captions had no idea what she was saying either oh man haha

[@DeeDeex2]

I'm from the Deep South and went to Maine on vacation and literally couldn't understand the people. I finally figured out they turned their r's into an ah sound.

[@rebeccahanson6941]

The Boston girl said “park your car at Harvard yard and give the guy a quarter for your chowder” Also no one says Connecticut correctly. Everyone just says cah-net-ah-kit. Washington, Oregon, Northern California, Idaho, Nevada, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, all have a pretty standard American accents depending on what part of the state. That guy from Indiana was wrong I dated a guy from southern Indiana and they definitely have an accent, but maybe because they are so close to Kentucky.

I know because I've lived in Maine my whole life and I have the same accent lol. Bar Harbor is 20 minutes from my house. Also Bar Harbor is on the same island as Acadia national park. Also supper means dinner.

North Carolina? A wide state from the mountains to the ocean, has at least 6 accents discernible to my ear. Northeastern NC, land of my birth, sounds a lot like Tidewater area of southeastern Virginia, settled very early by British and French immigrants. Far eastern NC, the Outer and Inner Banks, settled early and isolated from the mainland by the rivers and sounds, is where you'll hear about "the hoi toid on the sooun soid". Southern NC is a bit less British and slower; mid-NC is slow blend; southwestern NC, another slow blend; and western NC (mountains) retains a good bit of the Scots-Irish dialects that migrated along the mountain chain from the north. This is a poor description, but needs to be added to the woeful example given by that narrator.

[@434Hokie]

Totally agree, as a Virginian. Some poor representations from the acting jobs here. State borders are pretty poor for dividing regional accents anyway. Most of these types of videos ignore the actual geographic boundaries that are historically more important. I’m from the Piedmont - if I go to the Triad and Triangle of NC, and all of the rural places around, it’s all very familiar. The Valley is a bit different. Accents in SW VA are way more similar to East TN, Western NC, and Eastern Kentucky. You mentioned the Tidewater. Northern VA is something totally different.

[@carolburnett190]

If it makes you feel better, I watched an Australian do this video and he questioned whether that Boston accent was even English! Bah-hah-bah is Bar Harbor. The first guy to do a “Southern” accent was NOT from the South-it was so overdone! There are several areas of the country that add ‘Rs’ to their words. Warsh is a very typical way to say wash in those areas. New York/New Jersey accents are the easiest to distinguish-they have a very harsh accent.

[@OkiePeg411]

Grew up in Michigan but lived in south Florida for 15 years. Spanglish (spanish+ English hybrid) is super common. Side note: in Michigan, our state has an upper and a lower peninsula. The upper has its own HEAVY accent that’s super hard to understand in rural areas. Other than that her impersonation was spot on 😂

[@lornadoome852]

I believe "y'all" originated in Texas. Also, Texas has its own regional accents, east Texas sounds different than west Texas, and the valley in the south near Brownsville sounds different due to the influence of Mexican immigrants.

One thing to note about American accents is that most states have 3-5 accents, as certain cities will have their own accents. Generally speaking states on the eastern seaboard will have more accents as they had mass migration and large-scale cities for longer thus giving more time for distinct accents to develop, whereas the west coast will generally have fewer accent variance in the state.

[@st3von00b]

The North Dakota accent was way over exaggerated. But it is true that we do sometimes use a long O. We definitely accentuate our R's at the end of words.

It is so funny to hear the Michigan person because I didn’t realize there was such a difference between the west side and east side until she was talking. I am much closer in tone to Indiana. I am a little sad that they didn’t bring up the upper peninsula accent which is much closer to a Minnesota accent. Also on the Florida accent there are definitely places in Florida where Spanish is more common than English and Spanglish (a mix of Spanish and English in the same sentence) is the most common.

[@ElyonDominus]

Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Nevada are all right next to each, and they are all the ones that said they don't have an accent. And it's pretty true, most don't. I live in the area and can say that with confidence. Except Washington a little bit, kind of like that guy was saying. Most of Washington doesn't really do that "Warsh" thing he was talking about, but some areas in Eastern Washington actually do. The reason for that is that while most people only know of Seattle Washington, which gets a lot of rain, the truth is that most of Washington is actually classified as a desert because of how little rain it gets, and most of that desert area is farmland. So there are tons and tons of small farming communities all over eastern Washington, hence the Slavic hic farming accent he was talking about. Most of the bigger cities in Washington don't really have an accent though.

It’s so funny. I’m born and raised in North Dakota. I know I don’t sound like that but a similar accent definitely exists, especially among the older generation. The only thing I notice an accent is when I say, oddly, “North Dakota.” I notice my accent on the “O” in Dakota, but also we don’t pronounce Dakota with a hard “T.” We basically say “Dakoda.” There’s a few words that we do that with the “T.” I do believe I mostly have a Standard American Accent except for certain words and phrases.

Also keep in mind. The people who are featured. Are they the first generation of the state they live, or has their family resided in that state for generations? You're most influenced by accents by those you are the closet with and spent the most time until age 5 or 6. And depending on what part of the state. For example, in Florida where I grew up people in the North and towards the center will have more pronounced Southern accents. And the state is a transplant state so a lot of people move there from other regions and countries.

The years have gone by since then, and since we listen to TV etc.are losing accents. Please watch this. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWashqB-i89gfpo

Chicago does have an accent all its own. Da Bers. (The Bears). lol I lived there until my 30’s and didn’t hear it. After being away for just a few years, suddenly I could really hear the accent. You have to have a native teacher you how to pronounce “Chicago.” The actor said it all wrong.

As an arizonan myself, that guy sounds like he is from here. Just remember once you get west of the Mississippi River accents start to get a whole lot less pronounced and more homogenized

The auto-generated captions on the video you're watching are highly inaccurate because the AI can't understand what these people are saying. 🤦‍♀️ Haha!

I am from the US and after 50 yrs I can tell the diference between a western accent , a midwest accent and a northeast accent.

[@popdi.s.i.c.sccnnt7221]

the beuty of the american accent is the fact that the way you speak, is your accent. i m from wisconsin and have a definite accent but my neighbors, who lived maybe in minosoat have more of a scandinavian accent, while my family is more germanic and irish. my once dad said “were mutts, a mix of dozens of different cultures and languages.” i think that kinda is the general sentiment most english speaking americans have, even if they dont agree with me

Great video! The southern states were once territory of spain they were here before us in many cases this is the same as Louisiana, which is a bilingual state with French as its other language. A lot of people embrace the Latino culture. We have about 60,000,000 spanish speakers in the USA, making us the second most populous Spanish speaking country in the Americas behind México. If she is from southern Florida, even their accent has a Latino flair. Love your videos!

I live on the Louisiana and Mississippi line.Born in New Orleans but live 20 miles in Miss.Best of two worlds.

I'm from New Jersey. Everybody thinks we call it Joisey. Lol

Kind of off the wall question.... do all of your store bought water bottles have that flip top cap that snaps back on? I like that... ours all screw on and off..

Massachusetts is pronounced mass a chew sits

[@pigs18]

And you don't want to even try to pronounce the town names. [Woo-stah]

[@ArdorHellion]

Massachusetts: you gotta park the car in Harvard yard and give the guard a quarter for some chowder. Over done and accurate xD Maine: Bar Harbor, not baja

[@stormycat0905]

I grew up in Maine. The accent they do here is very mild. Oh and supper is another word for dinner.

[@karlurban5401]

Dude, so funny you referenced your “Russian English“. I absolutely thought you were Russian or Slavic when I first heard you. Then I learned in one of your videos that you’re Portuguese. How on earth did you pick up a Russian accent? 😂😂😂

[@drainbramagebrandon1047]

For the Massachusetts accent, avoid using the "r" from every word. For example ...Car == Caa, Quarter == Quartaa, Parking lot == Pawking lot, Chowder == Chowdaa. Guard == Guawd

[@mizztab3677]

from Indiana and while i don’t think i have an accent, i have been told i do by others. once while living in texas i was told i was from the midwest because of my accent and when we first moved back to indiana from New York i was told i didn’t sound like i was from indiana so it really varies

[@brianlewis5692]

"You've got to park the car in Harvard Yard and give the guard a quarter for some chowder" "We've got to go up to Bar Harbor to get some lobster supper"

[@leannmiller7153]

70 years old, born and raised in Washington State. Don’t know anyone who adds an R to their words. I’ve heard that some do, but I haven’t met any.

[@wandapease-gi8yo]

I remember traveling the US with my brother back in 1963 we were in Louisiana when we stopped in a small store and the young lady clerk greeted us with”what can I do for you all”. We stared at her for a couple of seconds because we were from Oregon and thought that “You All” was a put on, not really said.

[@theSarge000]

Maine: We gotta go up to "Bar Harbor" (a place) and get some lobster for supper (early evening meal). Maine is famous for fishing and particularly, lobster. In speech noted for swapping an AHH sound for R.

[@burnttoasty5841]

Not to many people have that Boston accent anymore , lots of people move to Massachusetts for the schools from all over the country

[@THEpoppaSAUCE]

5:20 the difference, the first time she sounds like she’s saying colorAdo which is what the stereotypical Colorado accent is and the second time the a I capitalized sounds more like an o sound

[@MJBJ-cb2jd]

Con et' ih kit is how to say Connecticut.

[@catlady443]

Try Dallas. It's Texan but influenced by every country in the world because they move there from everywhere
