The designer speaking voice thread got me thinking.


When you listen to New Orleans nikkas talk, and New York nikkas talk, the accent is pretty much the same, only difference is one is a southern version, and the other is the up north version.

Same with LA and Detroit cats. Pretty much the same accent.

But what would be the upnorth version of say, a texas accent? or a deep south accent, like Florida or somethin.

It's the same but without a Southern accent.

Southerner: Aiyo, bytch, dat, bizz, nuff, uhhh, trill beef, yo.
Northerner: Hi, I'd like to order the number two combo meal, medium Coke and fries.

Baltimore
Yeah Bmore and DC dudes accent sound like a mixture of up north and the south mixed together

Baltimore and DC don't have the same accent. DC is a mixture of Boston and NC: listen to a DC nikka say "park," it sounds like "pahk," then listen to them say "well," it's sound like "whale." Baltimore is just unique all the way around, especially when people here say "to" "do" "you". When people here say " dug," it's more of a mispronunciation than the accent itself.

I'm sure there's differences, but for a dude from outta town, both sound the same to me...

Dudes from NY say Jersey accent sound country but I'm sure to everybody else we all sound damn near the same..

Got a thing called Yinzers here in Pittsburgh.

Yinzer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Yinzer" (or "Yunzer") was historically used to identify the typical blue-collar people from the Pittsburgh region who often spoke with a heavy Pittsburghese accent. The term stems from the word yinz (or yunz), a second-person plural pronoun, brought to the area by early Scots-Irish immigrants. Over time, yinzer has been used by many Pittsburgh residents to self-identify, even if they didn't speak with a thick accent.

The concept and use of the word gained popularity in the 21st century as the area's population loss slowed, and the city became a hub for revitalization. As the city gained note as a desirable place to live,[1][2] more outsiders have moved or returned to the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. The term has taken on a slight pejorative connotation to identify someone who, for better or worse, is either a lifelong Pittsburgher, or says a phrase or commits an act that could be identified as something a stereotypical Pittsburgher might do.
