Yes, my spelling mistake-- thanks for the reminder. But I was only referring to spoken English-- the focus of the thread-- so the spelling differences do not bug me at all. And you even left out CAJUN! Or does that not count as an English dialect?
See, now you have me thinking about that firefly in the Disney Princess and the Frog movie, with a bit of X-Men's Gambit thrown in. But yeah, I was pressed for time and forgot about that one, along with many others, I'm sure.
Just because someone speaks slowly, or slower than a NE born and bred person, doesn't mean they are an idiot. Have you ever spoken with a native born Mainer?
Yay, Irish English is winning! But more specifically ULSTER English where we keep our H's and don't sound like Gay Byrne.
From a girl yes; it sounds sexy. When a guy has a Scottish accent he sounds like Willie the Groundskeeper to me.
Thank you for sharing the you tubes. I still like to hear Irish people talk and I was referring to the US version of Southern speak. The state I live in has a lot of different accents and languages depending on the city you are visiting.
Voted for the Scottish English. Have spent time in Scotland, England, and Australia. The Scots were by far the friendliest and I could understand everything they said. I could instantly hear a Brit, as they tended to complain and gripe about everything. The Aussies were friendly to, but the Scots seemed more willing to sit down and enjoy a pint with you.
I can discern a Tennessee accent, Louisiana accent, Arkansas, accent, West Texas accent, and an East Texas accent. The southern accent I like the best is Alabama/Mississippi/Georgia. Have not spent enough time in those states to discern.
No, I was born in Michigan, lived in San Diego and nowTucson. My visiting relatives in the South was pretty much limited to S.E. Missouri.
I know you were in fun but the southwest Texas area sounds much like that Argentina fellow. I need subtitles for the Irish guys.
Brooklyn, deep south, Irish, Australian, and English speaking Russians and Germans. Even though I have no clue what is being said, the prettiest languages to my ears are French and Mandarin.
I prefer English that is not (NOT) spoken with incessant babbling insertions of "like", "um", "you know", "I mean", and all the rest of the nonsensical gibberish that heavily peppers nearly everyone's spoken American-English today. These stupid 'fillers' in the way people speak is made even FAR more maddening when nearly every single thing that is spoken has to end in what's called "up-talking" -- the irritating-beyond-description of lilting the end of every sentence to make everything sound like a QUESTION, whether a 'question' has been asked or not!
