Years ago, I was vacationing in Florida and made some friends at the hotel pool. They said that my sister and I have really cool accents? I was raised in Kansas my whole life and don't talk like a hick? I have heard people talk in the South, and New Yorker's and many different Eastern accents, and even natives of California, But do you think people in the midwest have an accent? I mean I think we sound really plain and normal? If you think we do, how does it sound to you? Please describe?

i'm no longer the objective individual on your question... yet being a lifelong Kansas resident i will enable you already know some thing approximately Kansas accents. this is our loss of an obvious accessory that makes the midwest suited for telemarketing businesses. this is much less annoying for human beings in different factors of the country to understand us. I choose the techincal help human beings might leanr this as I hate having to concenctrate relatively annoying to understand a individual from India with a thick and heavy accessory.

I'm from the great land of Ohio, and the Midwestern accent is the one that is most accepted accents. All of the newcasters have Midwest accents if you listen. We are the easiest to understand, and I personally can't stand the Southern nor the New York accent. The Midwest is said NOT to have an accent. We speak perfectly! But, my mom is from Philly, and was completely out when we lived in OH.

Sure you have an accent. It isn't quite as pronounced as say, someone from Alabama, or maybe Tennessee, but it is there, anyway.

There is a distinct difference from nearly half the states in the US, as far as the varied accents. Some are real noticeable, and some are real subtle.

Accents are regional and if you're in a place out of your region, you're considered the one with the accent.

I'm from Michigan and I consider myself to have no accent whatsoever, but when I was in Seattle, everyone told me I sounded like I was from Boston, and I think Bostonians have an accent...go figure.
