Yes but this makes it easier for more people to understand that other accents are also southern even if they aren’t this exact one because there are similarities.
I found this funny. When he talked about Southern Aristocats. He shows a clip or from the movie "Gone With the Wind". The actress who's talking is actually British, Vivian Leigh.
I'm from the south coast of Massachusetts. I was in Florida one time having beer with my brother and a friend when some lady came over and asked us if we were from Ireland! LOL!
I was born and raised in the South and lived on Gulf Coast 🐊 all my life spend alot of time in New Orleans and I still have a hard time understanding Cajuns 🤣🤣🤣😉👍❤️
I can tell British accents apart somewhat. Posh vs cockney, Manchester is a very distinct accent, Liverpool, West country (sounds like a pirate or Hagrid), etc. All Scottish accents sound the same to me.
The people I can't understand at all are the people from The Black Country...that is the thickest British accent I've heard... heck out some youtube videos on the accent...it's baffling !!!
I can usually tell where someone is from anywhere in the world. Glasgow and Edinburgh are very different if you listen closely. I think the Edinburgh is smoother, whereas the Glasgow is more clipped. I think it’s because I grew up bouncing all over Europe and The States.
Knew a girl from Newcastle. Geordie girl, she visited me here in Michigan and the next year (2019) I visited her . Some of the Geordie accents were so thick and similar to Scottish accents I thought...
I have to say that I have the displaced-R every so often, but more so growing up next to Boston. You don't use the R for a lot of words and then repurpose it with other words, where it does not belong. I can hear it today, but growing up had no clue until I travelled all over the place.
Blokes, notice he mentioned Okracoke and Tangier Islands; they're near Kitty Hawk, where the Wright Bros. flew the first airplane. I'm a friend of a gentleman who got a job as a mining engineer in the UP, and he married a Yooper. Great people up there, but back in the '70s the accent was more pronounced than it is today, sadly. He got it wrong on "eh', in that that's how it comes out in Canada. In "dah U.P.", it comes out "hey". Last summer when I was on a driving vacation, I stopped in at Hilton Head Island, SC, and took a Gullah tour. I find this quote from Wikipedia interesting: Gullah-Geechee is a language spoken by around 5000 people in 12,000 sq. mi. of coastal land from NC to northern FL. The Gullah-Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor stretches from St. Johns County south of Jacksonville, FL, to north of Wilmington, in Pender County, NC, and was set aside in 2006 as a unique National Park Service unit.
I grew up some in deep southern Maryland, and we called the people SMIBs (Southern Maryland In Breds, a self applied moniker). I am indigenous to Albuquerque, New Mexico, for reference. People in my neck of Maryland would pronounce things like ablulance as "amblance". Totally dropped a vowel. Deodorant was "deroderant". Dropping another vowel, and adding an R. Washington? They just decided to add an R in there. Warshington. It was absolutely wild to me coming from the Southwest. Edit: I have lived all over the county. That was a cool video about the diversity and origins of our accents. Of course, I think I don't think I have one, but I think Texans would disagree.😆
I was born in Montana, but grew up in the suburbs of Chicago. I was the oldest child in my extended family and was raised around really old people so, I have a modified version of the Transatlantic Accent. It was the upper class accent in the USA from the early 1960s and before back to the late 1800s. They tried to teach it in schools, but people found it too snobby and too British, so a study was done to find an accent that the majority of Americans liked. Omaha, Nebraska was the winner, so when you think of "Standard American English" that's what you get. (Think news broadcasters). Today, it is hard to find people with the Transatlantic accents under the age of 80. Now, growing up in suburban Chicago, I definitely heard the Chicago accent. It's a working class one, and it is dying gradually.
Great reaction! You should react to his other video on Southern American Accents! OF course with the Boston accent, just think BILL BURR! LOL My favorite British accents are Yorkshire, Manchester, and West Country (Bristol) because those accents in my opinion are the friendliest British accents.
A lot of the NOLA people who sound similar to NYC are from the West Bank. There are multiple accents there. Some people even sound Caribbean. It’s not uncommon to drop R. New Awlins, waoduh, sugah and so on. They call soda/pop as cold drink but it sounds like cole drink. Room might sound like rum.
You'll find these accents outside of the major cities. Sometimes, you'll hear them in major cities outside of the tourist areas. It's not a surprise that many tourists don't run into these accents.
Trivia. Hollywood used to send actors with severe accents to the state of Kansas to relearn how to speak. Kansas supposedly has the most neutral accent (or non accent) in the country.
Depends on the Kansan if their family has relatives from Deep South they will carry an accent. I have a slight accent I am a first generation Kansan born and raised.
Lots of Yoopers on my mom’s side of the family in the UP. That’s exactly how they sound. I lived up there for several years when I was younger. Finnish name on every mailbox. Da Yoopers were a fun band.
When I was growing up, Texas was still very Southern. I was from Houston, and when we visited my grandparents in Quanah, way up north almost in the Panhandle, I could hear differences in their pronunciation. All Texans agreed that the most backwoods accent was from East Texas, the strip of Texas that runs along the Louisiana border.
I am an American and have a TV and movie American accent. I live 2 hours from Boston, MA. Four hours from Quebec, Canada and 45 min from Hartford, CT. I dated a girl for a couple years from Southampton, UK and some places I had to translate for her. It was not really the accent just the worlds and phrases she used were different and unexpected.
It's worth pointing out that all black accents are different from white accents unless we're in the VERY deep south; in that case they're also different but related because sharecroppers existed for hundreds of years
I live pretty close to Ocracoke where they speak the brogue. It's due to many islanders being relatively isolated for centuries. That led to English and Scots-Irish influences remaining fairly strong, but they also adapted in a unique way.
I wish this video showed more African American dialects because we (African Americans) have a different melting pot from slavery that includes the suppression of education that molded our languages
Theres been plenty of time since then for anyone to take education seriously as an individual if they want to. Everything is up to an individual. That goes for every gender and race how you want to act and talk as you grow older
When I visited Montana, I was told my Baltimore accent was veey difficult to understand, and unique to outsiders.. I had no idea a Baltimore accent was a thing
I grew up in south central Nebraska. and I had a strong western drawl. some said it was southern. I lost some of it but people still notices my accent.
I'm in western North Carolina and just on this side of the state we have.mountain..country..and small town accents. I'm from a small town but now live in the mountains 😊
They left out the Minnesota accent (although it's similar to the "Yooper" accent of northern Michigan). The movie "Fargo" attempted to mimic Minnesotan, with mixed results.
I’m from New England area but have a lot of New York influence on my accent. When I was living in California for a while people there would ask me where I was from all the time thinking I was a foreigner because of my accent. Especially when I said things like “watchaupta” (what are you up to)
Saying about mouth and house is how a lot of people from Virginia, not just the islands, spoke until recently. You still hear it a lot in people born before about 1960.
One thing about America is there are multiple accidents for wherever you live. For example, Black people and white people speak differently, even if they live in the same street. Latino have different accents and sometimes Asians do as well. Even if they live in the same city.
Living here in Miami area all of my life, I've been exposed to many of these accents all my life, yet I speak like a mid-westerner from Iowa or Kansas. But you can still detect a bit of my Southern roots, as i use y'all and yonder a lot in my speech.
There's no way that first accent was a NOLA one, none of us sound like that. The second group was pure NOLA Yat greatness, ya errrd me (ya heard me in Yat).
The New Orleans accent has a lotta similarity to both New York City and Boston. Ther "er" sound for "oy" as in kern and terlit for coin and toilet. Classic Archie Bunker.
That is hilarious. I'm born and raised in So. CA and I can't understand a word the first 2 said either! I can much more easily understand you from Manchester than them!
A Yooper is someone from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Upper Peninsula in shortened form is U P. This is where the term Yooper comes from, people from the UP. Instead of U-pers, it is Yoopers.
I've lived in a few different states, and driven across the US twice, and even being from here, there are accents I struggle to understand. I love the sound of Creole, but can't understand a word.
I watch another British youtuber and he signs off with his name. I think he's from maybe Birmingham? Not sure. To my Southern California ears, I hear "Alpha Double G" until I look and it says L3WG. I commented about it once. Not sure if it was my comment that prompted it, but I notice he slows way down now and pronounces it lol!! Great guy with an awesome personality.
My uncle has a really strong Massachusetts accent, not exactly the same as the Boston accent. After being away from home for my first 2 or 3 years at a southern college I finally had enough money saved up to fly home for Christmas. I couldn't understand a word my uncle was saying. It was just so weird not being able to understand someone I've known my whole life. I couldn't help but think is this how I sounded to everyone in the south?
British accents are easy, for you, because they’re what you know. You know mostly subconsciously what features go together to make up which accent. It’s a matter of exposure and pattern recognition. For a foreign accent all you know are a few big differences from what you’re used to and you may lump it in with some foreign accent that sounds nothing like it because it shares one of those big differences from what yours.
I’m from Cape Cod and I constantly get told but you don’t have a Boston accent and I say because I’m not from Boston I’m from 2 hours away which shows how close you can be and sound different and if anyone has been to Cape Cod and heard a Boston accent you either were hearing someone who was not raised on Cape Cod or you don’t know the difference The best description I can give since you can’t hear me is the famous pawk the cah I spelled it how it sounds in a Boston accent Cape Cod accent would be park the car just like it’s spelled
I like a lot of British accents but theres one that just infuriates me. The people who say "free" or " fumbs" instead of "three" or "thumbs". A lot of times you'll notice their mouths and jaws are actually deformed from speaking this way. Most British accents are charming though i like them
As someone from Ohio that doesn't have an accent, they are real. After Katrina I went to help with the cleanup, I thought i was in Brooklyn NY. And I know because I have family from Brooklyn.
I'm from California and I don't think I have an accent either. A lot of the news people in Columbus are also from California, I think. I've heard them say it. There are certain words said in a way that let's me know you are from here. Your "A's" is different.
What are you talking about? They are Gullah Geechee, which is a black American ethnic group, they developed their accent and creole in a similar way to many Caribbean countries, but are a completely separate ethnicity.
@brownbuter I have never met or even heard of a High Tider until the last few years, so what is your point? Just because you never met or heard someone who speaks a certain way must mean they can't possibly exist. Do some research before speaking.
@councilornevec8249 you're comparing 🙄 names of regions, i live in north carolina and travel extensively throughout both of the carolinas to Georgia, ive never heard a region in the southeast that sound lime they are Jamaican
Not all of them are put on. I have personally heard the High Tiders (Hoi Toid) accent in the Outer Banks. They really do sound like that, though the accent is dying out.
The "southern accent" being lumped into one always bothers me. There are a lot more intricacies to it than that.
The same guy does a fun video with different southern accents. Hopefully they'll react to it
They aren’t even what I would consider ‘intricacies’. They all seem pretty obvious
Yea there’s accents that vary from city to city and town to town.
Especially because Brits can somehow pick out 40 accents in an area the size of Oregon😂
Yes but this makes it easier for more people to understand that other accents are also southern even if they aren’t this exact one because there are similarities.
I found this funny. When he talked about Southern Aristocats. He shows a clip or from the movie "Gone With the Wind". The actress who's talking is actually British, Vivian Leigh.
To be fair, British accents have also evolved a great deal in the last few hundred years.
That lady at the end for accent 7 is Ms. Carolyn. I used to know her, we went to church together in Charleston SC 😊❤

People in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota have that copy of a Canadian accent. They even pronounce words like Canadians.
No such thing as a Canadian accent
Less Canadian and more Scandinavian, due to all the people there being of Swedish or Norwegian descent.
No Canadian accent? You sure aboot that?
As a Cheesehead, I definitely don't sound Canadian.
@@kaydod3190 Then why do they all say aGAINst?
I’m a basic southerner. I have the ordinary southern drawl. If I leave the south I always get people telling me to talk some more.
Dolly Parton is from Tennessee
it makes sense you havent noticed very strong american accents. theyre generally weaker in cities and it seems like you've mostly been in urban areas.
