Do you have an accent?

Question

My nationalites are Italian, Spanish, English. I had lived in Southern California for the majority of my life. I speak mainly english a little spanglish. For some reason I am always told I have a New England accent...I pronounce the word almond "ahmund" and the word Boston "Bawhstin" I even catch myself mispronouncing the word word as "whood"

Is it the english in me?

I am an american...my father was born in sunny california and my mom was born deep in the heart of texas.......

Answer 1

That's more of an east cost accent, it depends on where your parents were raised.

I was raised for most of my life on the west coast, but spent a year in Houston Texas, so I have a very faint Texas accent.

How y'all like that?

Answer 2

Southern

Answer 3

Because I live in the States, I'm told I have an accent....I'm from Australia...(and I thought the American's were the ones with an accent, not me!)

Yes, French is my first language, so I have a slight French accent when I speak English.

Answer 7

I'm a Texan, so , yes I have " South in the Mouth". But so do my friends and family. " Ya'll" and " git" and " heeere" (here)are three Southern pronunciations that are quite common.

Answer 8

Imagine Jessica Simpson with a "real" southern accent! :P
