I've been told I have a cute/cool accent. Whenever I go visit family in Georgia, I come back with a TexPeach accent...Texas mixed with Georgia. Here's my list:

Brits
Aussies
Southerners -particularly Georgia and Alabama - there's a difference in dialects among the southern states.
Italian NY'ers (my Aqua fiance')
Boston Irish

i'm not really into the european accents (except irish), since my dad is hardcore italian so i grew up hearing it all my life...plus, i am not a big fan of euro trash!

"Really? Didn't notice... Oh, come on, Yama, didn't you notice my winking smiley? Does that mean being serious to you?"

I thought you were using it so you wouldn't sound harsh.

"NYC and upstate accents: Talk becomes tawk. They run words with low sounds together. Like Whatyutawkinbout? Come here becomes come e're. The most famous is "hey you" being tranformed into "a yo". Upstate accents are similar, but they incoporate some of Canandas fuckups of the english languge."

Upstate accents aren't like city accents...at least not where I live...

Although, we do still say "tawk" and "'ere". Also, people don't tend to pronounce the "t" at the end of a contraction...for example, "can't"...the t is basically inaudible, although the word has a weird sort of rounded end that suggests the t. I'd say our accent is more like the mid-west's.

GL, I hail from Southern Upstate New York, closer to Binghamton, if you have any idea where that is (although my family is from Queens). But my accent isn't country (and trust me, I have HEARD country ๐Ÿ˜›), and it isn't city. It's......smallish city upstate New York? hehe.

"Because I've been told...(by Binghamton alumn)....that the surrounding residential areas are reminiscent of ghost towns. Like the ones you see in the movies. Where the total population is 493, and everyone looks the same b/c your grandmother is your 2nd cousin; and your sister is also your great-aunt."

lmao!!!!!!!!

That's a bit exaggerated ๐Ÿ˜‰.

When I visit family in Georgia, I can mock their accent very well. Overall, I don't think I have much of a Texas accent. A few people have asked me if I was from the midwest before. Not sure if I would know offhand how someone from the midwest talks unless they were from Chicago I suppose.
