What do they sound like? What does everyone think of Connecticut?

Only if you're not from Connecticut.

I don't think natives of Connecticut (Connecticuters? Connecticutites?) have the pronounced accents of those up here in northern New England. Since so many New Yorkers live in CT, you might find a lot more with Manhattan accents. I've not had a chance to visit CT yet, but maybe this summer. I've heard good things about the beaches.
And I don't agree everyone has accents. I'm from the northern Midwest originally (Ohio) and from what I can hear, Midwesterners have a flat inflection, with no regional "twang" or diphthong. Of course, maybe the Midwest flatness does constitute an accent; I suppose the lack of accent IS an accent.

Connecticut residents have a similar accent to other northeasterners.My experiences in Connecticut are very favorable.The people are great,and there is lots to do there as far as nightlife and shopping.

I am from Connecticut and I personally don't think we have accents. but if you talk to my boyfriend( who is from NJ) he will tell you I do. Everyone has an accent. Where ever you are from I am sure you have that accent. but you probably do not hear it yourself.

Of course. Everybody has an accent. We all just have different ones.
I personally don't know too much about Connecticut, but I have no bad impressions of it.

I've lived in CT my whole life and never though I had an accent until I went to college in Virginia. They all told me a said a few words funny like "drawer". I always pronounced it like "draw." I still don't think we have an accent, but since we're close to Boston and New York city, you will occasionaly hear Bostonian and Brooklyn accents in some words.

People from everywhere have accents. They are ussually just noticable to someone who comes from a different area.
