O Ma Gawd! You putting subtitles on a perfectly clear Texas accent was darn near blasphemy!

Im really curious to see if other English speakers actually have any difficult with understanding us. I feel like i have a standard American accent, but a lot of people around me talk with a very heavy accent, but it always seemed easy to understand (probably because i grew up here).

Interesting - did you not run the Welsh sentences past native speakers? Hoffi'r cath wen ydw i .... that's not right. Cath would take soft mutation to gath after "the/'r" and it would be more usually to say it this way "dw i'n hoffi'r gath wen"="am i like the cat white"

I understand them perfectly. I am proud of being from the South.

You almost mentioned the Ozarks! On number 3 I really wish you’d have carved out the distinction of this region. It’s always overlooked.

Sixth (?) generation Texan here. My wife is Canadian and it is hilarious to hear my in-laws try to say, "Y'all." It sounds like they are trying to get the full "you all" in there. I'm like, just say, "Yahl." Them: "Yooual." Why is this so hard? 😂

When you hear how native English speakers pronounce place names and personal names from other countries, you get the impression that all languages ​​except English are confusing for English speakers.

To answer it shortly: Nah. (jk I'm biased because I'm swiss.) The truth is it obviously depends on a variety of factors, such as the native language of a learner and whether or not they already have learned other (similar) languages and are familiar with language learning. I mean, I went to school with some swiss people who had issues learning standard german, even though our specific dialect (Basel german, a high alemannic dialect) wasn't that far off from german in terms of vowel and consonant shifts. We still pronounce our "L"s like "L" (as opposed to central swiss dialects who will pronounce them like a german "U"), and our "K"s didn't shift into a hard "CH" sound (Kääs/Kees instead of Chääs/Chees -> cheese, as you might have figured), so you'd think it should be easy enough for any swiss person from Basel to learn standard german. But that's the point, even if your native "language" is the closest possible thing to actual german, you might still struggle. Conversely, you might be italian and learn german with ease (does not count for the people of Bozen/Bolzano, as they technically learn german at home/in school, so we won't consider them here).

Translating foreign expressions is quite a common thing. The germans do it with some memes and random expressions (Ich bin Magie -> I'm magic instead of "Ich bin 'n Magier" -> I'm a magician or stuff like the "Me when..." memes -> "Ich wenn..." which isn't technically incorrect but it still sounds strange), the italians did it in New York and NJ with stuff like "breaking balls" (rompere le palle) and they're currently doing it by literally translating stuff like "what the cock" (ma che cazzo) or "in mouth of wolf" (in bocca al lupo -> good luck). That's not a widespread thing though, as far as I can tell. Probably also because most italians don't actually speak english very well.

A Southern DRAWL is similar to what you'd hear in Gone w the Wind, Plantation accent. There are at least three accents just in the small state of SC

A third of the world's languages is agglutinative. You guys should stop acting like it's something unheard of. Also, Hungarian is no more difficult than Finnish, Estonian or Turkish. I'm Hungarian and I don't understand the fuss about our language. There's nothing more special about it than say, Finnish.

i don’t know if i suck but it’s so hard for me to differentiate accents all these people just sounds like the have different voices

Whether or not you like it or agree, W and Y are Always vowels!

I got excited when he showed the Texas Panhandle and he's right, we're really big on horse farms.

native midland/odessa texas here sware i can understand you better then them yankees because British accent is so close to ours, talk slow because we got no where to go today...we messure distance in time not miles

IRISH is a difficult language to learn.Even for us Natives! I was fluent in Italian after 1 year of living there but 6 years of Irish lessons I can say a handful of words!

AccentS is more appropriate than Accent. Drive an hour in any direction and it will change. It's all just "country" to me. The only word you need to know is "Huh?". They'll help you out after that.

Bad Mapping Since Bandera Is About 100 💯 Miles South Of Enchanted Rock Which Is At Least 15 Miles North Of Fredricksburg Up Texas Hiway 16 & Bandera Is About 30 Miles South Of Kerrville At Least 3 or 4 County's Between Those Two Locations !

Haha olly, i somehow agree with you without knowing any of these languages. Yet, you must touch on the subject of Dravidian languages, like Kannada, Tamizh etc. The most interesting concept about them is agglutination like Hungarian, Turkish as well as their relative simple grammar- animate male and female, inanimate neuter apart from the plural forms.

Totally agree about practicing speaking getting a haircut

People should know that we're a very diverse state, and not all of us sound like these accents.

ok, for georgia, you missed the in between one, the "not really country but definitly not Atlanta one" AKA, Morgan County area

At 6:32 fuck the guy whom posted that shit, give the film credit. That's Scarlett and Ashley conversing in the movie "Gone with the Wind".

I wouldnt use the term "accent" because they're dialects. They have different words and such.

My wife and I are from South Texas and I’m sorry but we didn’t hear any accents in this video. 😂

I disagree with the part that it really doesn’t matter much if one mispronounced a french word. Well in Quebec, most Quebecois are rude. They think they’re the real french lol.

Whenever I go to Canada, around town on Vancouver Island, ppl ask me if I'm from down south, like REALLY South. LOL TX is its own country, 1836 yo!

I would love to hear your take on the Ozark accent. No one seems to get it right. The show Ozark made it way to southern (they did film in GA after all). While it’s mostly part of the Midwest it’s definitely distinct from the rest of the region. I’m from there and I say it’s sounds like if someone had a wad a rocks in their mouth, leaned real heavy on their Rs, and said things like “cattywompas” and “piebald”😂

Why did you not include South Carolina?

Latín slang is definitely a thing. We call it Italian.

He learned fast cause he's an actor and the show made sure he had the best private teachers

#4 sounds pretty close to how I talk 😆. Boomhauer is me when I drink.

you don't open your mouth when you talk?????

You've obviously done a lot of work to put this video together. It was very interesting to see what has changed and what's still the same since I graduated from DLI in German in 1970. It was a wonderful experience!

You just made me seriously homesick. I don't sound particularly Texan until I've had a bit to drink, but it's always there. One of my favorite experiences was being in a pub in Nottingham very late one evening (early in the morning?) and talking about accents. I said I was fascinated by how you could localize someone very accurately in England by the accent. I was then told, "Yeah, you Americans really don't have that many accents." I proceeded to take them on a 10 minute tour of accents around the USA. The best compliment I got was the bartender you just said, "That was magnificent!" after I finished. A great time was had by all.

I'm sorry but you still have not answered the question. Where did the southern accent come from? So let me help you out. The so-called southern accent dates back to the 17th & 18th century by English and Scots-Irish immigrants who came to the United States. Plus by the 19th century further influences came from London upper class society. Back then it was considered that only high society folks spoke in such an accent to distinguish themselves, as they would say, from commoners. As they felt resentment if anyone would ever confuse them with commoners. We're talking West Virginia, Virginia, North & South Carolinas, Georgia, and every state west up to Texas. With the exception of Louisiana which the Creole influence came from french settlers of the time. So what once was an accent only fit for high society a few centuries ago is now a common accent among everyday folks. Fact. PS: We learned this in university history studies.

My Momma's from deep East Texas, and between her and my Central Texas dad, my daughter and I somehow sound like we're from the middle of South Carolina! We were on a road trip, and they sounded just like us! They thought we were locals! 😂 It was wonderful to let our accents fly free! ❤❤

I grew up in south-central Indiana, in a town that had had an influx of Kentucky coalminers in the late 1800s. They brought with them a twangy drawl that some locals still had in their speech in the mid-20th century. I only sound truly like home when I talk on the phone, after 50 years out of state.

The nice thing about almost any other language on Earth besides English is that what they write down is how it is pronounced.
