even though thats a huge difference in itself...i.e. we say gunna you say finna, we say choppin' you say cakin', ect.

the way we pronounce words are different. Canadians stick on vowels more and elongate some parts of words while speaking all hella fast

Americans' got a kind of drawl about them, whether or not they're from the south.
I see very interesting... I need to brush up on my knowledge in your region

The Canadian accent? That’s what Palin has right?

In America there is the:
Bostonian accent(New England)
New Yorker’s accent
Texas drawl
Southern accent
(is there one in the north???)
New Jersey accent(although it’s a lil similar to the New York one)
Then the average dialect seen in the movies is used throughout the west

You forgot the midwestern accent that
Minnesotans and most Americans who
live near Canadians have.

The Bostonian, New York, and Jersey
accent are the same.

Boston, ''Pahk da cah in hahvahd yahd''.

New York has 5 boroughs within itself
(Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island
and Manhattan),
so there are different accents. The most commonly
know one is the Italian/Jewish accent seen in the movie
''My cousin Vinny''. People from Staten Island sound mostly
like that.

Then in Jersey, they say ''joisey'', think of Janice from
Friends. She has that typical accent.

The Texan accent is the same as the Southern accent.

And you like totally forgot to mention the SoCal accent
d00d.


Wman, oi gal like me will shank you for them talks pon
road innit. You're havin a bubble mate, bout you
don't know bout different accents. You're takin
the mickey blud!

Bless your cotton knickers.
