    The French accent may be considered one of the sexiest in the world, but like other countries, there are many different accents depending on which part of the country you come from. Though accents can be the source of regional pride, they can also be somewhat of a ball and chain. Some lawmakers have gone so far as to call for legislation to fight against linguistic discrimination.

    As an American who has great trouble learning French, I find the southern accents slightly easier to understand. They don't slur the words together as much as the Parisians, and they also speak a tad bit slower. And it also helps that they are friendlier and less impatient with foreigners attempting their language. Parisians give me such a hard time - it's not enough that you can speak French but if you don't speak like they do, they give you attitude. :(

      Tell me about Americans always making harsh comments on people who have an inflection. No matter, how well a person can speak English, accents is the bother of Americans, regardless their education. I am French speaker and have lots of trouble understanding people from the South. If you were in Brittany, there is no accent there. It is very pleasant and the region is stunning. I love the south, too, but their way of speaking is hard for me. On the phone, it is impossible to understand what they say.

      She's definitely speaking British English. But I bet she's trained to speak with various broadcast English forms. My sister was a broadcast journalist and she had to broadcast outside of her dialect. So my guess is the TV anchor probably is dominant in Australian English and has an Australian accent that surfaces when she speaks French.

    Except for that, there is usually no problem with accent in France. People can have préjugés, of course, but nothing that you can't outpass.

    Pour moi il s'agit plutôt de prendre un ton - plutôt qu'un accent - universel dès qu'il s'agit de travailler ou simplement d'interagir avec des personnes qui viennent d'autres régions. Pour se comprendre mutuellement. Mettez un Raimu avec un Gabin pour qu'ils parlent ensemble ça ne va rien donner. Les accents sont épais et les expressions seulement locales.
    Mais si on est entre personnes du même coin que ce soit pour le travail ou pour la détente la on va garder notre accent, normal.
    Après l'idée qu'il y a un pouvoir qui "tue" les accents; pour ma part je n'ai jamais perçu ni pression ni repression sur qui que ce soit pour qu'il quitte sa culture & langue locale. Si quelqu'un veut faire perdurer sa culture locale rien ne lui interdit.
    Parler de menace contre les régions pour moi ça provient de petits fachos qui essaient de gagner un quelconque intérêt.
    Et de toute façon une langue c'est fait pour communiquer. Son historique on s'en fout un peu. À mon sens ce qui compte le plus c'est surtout de garder les belles expressions: les mots justes, les mots qui désignent des concepts justes et intéressant, les mots qui expriment bien des idées importantes, pertinentes, belles etc... c'est ca qui fait l'intérêt, la beauté et la performance d'une langue.

    I am french, and each time i have heard a joke about accents it was always with humour and tenderness where î’m from (Paris). Southern accent in particular is very much appreciated because it sounds friendly. It’s when i travel in the south that people recognize i come from paris and they’re not always welcoming me with opened arms. La Corse is even worse, i could get in trouble very easily juste because i am « from the continent » which shows how much this kind of discrimination is absurd.
    Though it’s true there isn’t a lot of accent diversity in positions of power.

      Sofia Caillaud ça dépend vraiment des régions, à Toulouse par exemple c'est limite compliqué de trouver quelqu'un sans accent, moi étant ch'ti maintenant dans le sud (et ayant l'accent) j'aime beaucoup le forcer parce que je trouve ça drôle :) (après maintenant j'ai un petit mélange accent ch'ti et accent Bordelais)

    • @PoppyGirl2411
      @PoppyGirl2411 4 роки тому

      Non c’est pas chelou, on est habitué c’est tout. C’est juste un reste de la langue d’antan. Tout le monde dans le nord (et pas de calais je précise pcq j’habite la bas) n’a pas forcement l’accent, ou du moins pas autant poussé que certains vous laisse le croire. On est juste des gens normaux avec une autre culture 🤷🏽‍♀️

    I remember hearing once that much of the push for standardization of French has it's origins in the Revolution, the various reformers seeing regional dialects as deliberately contrived by the nobles and the Ancien Regime to maintain power.
    I wonder how much social capital this notion actually has, if indeed it ever had any.

    Linguistic variations are a *national treasure*, yet since 19th century nationalism and centralisation, they're treated like the opposite, and there's not enough effort put into their preservation and protection and historically even some legislations aimed to stamp them out.
