Go on, tell people in Philly they got a New York accent, I dare ya.
As we in the Midwest prefer to call it, “a normal accent”.
New Englander here.
What in the world is a “New England accent?”
Do you mean Boston? New Hampshire? Wood Chuck? Whatever the hell is going on in Maine? (I didn’t know anybody lived there to have an accent.)
Maines got several, none of which sound Canadian or like the rest of New England. The two big ones we call County and Downeast.
You don’t know any wicked mainahs then. Up north in East millinocket driver mcguyver
Yeah, Connecticut and Massachusetts do not share the same accent. Western Massachusetts is specifically wild. Go fuck yourself, Cuffy is a pretty great example. Connecticut doesn’t really have an accent as far as I can tell. It’s just the generic white people accent. Which is basically the same as NY. And no, the New York accent is not “I’m drinkin’ waaahtaaa ovaaah heeeea”. Maybe some very specific Italian neighborhoods in Brooklyn, but that’s about it.
Austin doesn’t sound valley imo.
It does not. It’s more of a mix of Midwestern, border mexican, valley, and standard Texan. I loved how many of the Indian tech-workers that moved to Austin in the early 2000s quickly developed a habit of using y’all…and a breakfast taco addiction.
