Guest Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 I live in the Pacific NW which has "no accent" When I go back to SE Virginia [birthplace & family] I retun with a very thick southern accent and I talk a lot slower. It's gone and I'm ripping along after a week or two. OFF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worker 11811 Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 My normal speech accent tends to drift. I grew up in Northwest Pennsyltucky. This is one of the more plainspoken accent areas of the country. (Linguistic maps prove it.) I live within two hours drive of Pittsburgh.... Pittsburgheese. I went to college in Boston, Massachusetts. Spent seven years living there. Picked up the Bahst'n accent for a while. I moved back to Pennsyltucky for a few years then moved to North Carolina and travelled around the southeast USA for a while. Now I'm back in Pennsyltucky. My speech is a mish-mash of four distinct areas of the country. I'm a mutt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
