Well just guessing from your name alone you could be either latin or native american. Your name meaning 'wind' in native american or it could be a varient of Mary or Maria. Then again you could be Egyptian as the name originated from there and means 'God is my Teacher'. I think you are native american though as you are from Kansas ( saw your profile lol) and Topeka is the capital of the U.S. state of Kansas and the county seat of Shawnee County, which is named after the Shawnee Indians . How did I do ? hehe

Geeze, tough one. Sounds like David Brinkley, the news anchor, and though he was born in North Carolina, I have friends from the Caribbean who do the last syllable thing (Patois influence). Many Scots-Irish derivatives, especially as they appeared in Southern American English, exhibit a non-monotone melody. Then again, Spanish-English has a similar lowering melodious structure, especially in the voice of Ricardo Montalban, but the accent is usually on the second-to-last syllable (as in Chrysler CorDOva) so I have my doubts.
I may have to pull out my tapes of "The Story of English" with Robert McNeil and watch all 14 hours...
Please fess up when you pick out your correct answer for my edification and enlightenment...Thanks!

That is not an accent, that is just how you speak. An accent is determined by how you pronounce the actual words.

I think you might be from Hawaii. My mom speaks in a similar way and she is from Honolulu.

Southern US accent?
I didn't get that from your description, I'm simply guessing.
