Completely missing the Pittsburgh accent which is quite distinct. But I don’t think I’ve ever seen it depicted in TV or movies either so it’s likely that most Americans are completely unfamiliar with it.
I wouldn’t say most Coloradans have a Midwestern accent either, especially in the front range.
Huh. I wanna say it’s wild to claim people from Arizona and New Mexico have Midwestern accents, but I’ve only just realized I have no clue what the hell they do have. Midwestern accents, I guess?
It’s definitely not Midwestern. Grew up in Colorado and have lived in Ohio and Arizona. Arizona is much more a mountain west accent.
We’re in the deep Mid now bois. 😎
As the representative of the Southeast, there’re also several ‘southern’ accents. The refined ‘southern belle’ is a favorite, alongside a more brusque and inarticulate ‘hillbilly’ accent from the sticks.
As we in the Midwest prefer to call it, “a normal accent”.
Which is actually different from a Midwestern accent.
Go on, tell people in Philly they got a New York accent, I dare ya.
Or folks in Baltimore that they have a Midwest accent
baltimore assent say dis.
arn arnd an arn arn.
Never heard a New Yorker say needs washed, yins, warsh, or pop.
Baltimore has filed a protest.
Aaron earned an iron urn.
New Englander here.
What in the world is a “New England accent?” Do you mean Boston? New Hampshire? Wood Chuck? Whatever the hell is going on in Maine? (I didn’t know anybody lived there to have an accent.)Maines got several, none of which sound Canadian or like the rest of New England. The two big ones we call County and Downeast.
People from away always think we’re canadians for some reason.
You don’t know any wicked mainahs then. Up north in East millinocket driver mcguyver
This bit is so good.
Gonna make lots of Philly people angry.
Gonna make a lot of Mainer’s mad saying we have a Canadian or New England accent. Someone from the county does not sound like a Canadian, and someone from downeast doesn’t sound like someone from Vermont which doesn’t sound like someone from Mass, and so on.
They were already angry
Austin doesn’t sound valley imo.
Funnily enough, it shares a lot of dialectic traits with Orlando.
It does not. It’s more of a mix of Midwestern, border mexican, valley, and standard Texan. I loved how many of the Indian tech-workers that moved to Austin in the early 2000s quickly developed a habit of using y’all…and a breakfast taco addiction.

I’m an Indian born in Austin in the early 2000s who uses y’all and is addicted to breakfast tacos ^and elotes^ 💀
why is this so accurate
The breakfast taco is the glue holding together Texas
Thank you Tex Mex cuisine
If anyone is wondering, I grew up in Seattle and I’ve had people who are English second language ask me if I’m British.
I just learned English by watching Frasier.
I’ve got a proper Cascadian accent. It’s lovely, but gets me marked as an outsider when I go elsewhere in the country.
Over my dead Appalachian body!
“you betcha” I say as I choke you to death with a corn cob
I live in Jackson, Wyoming (right on the border with Idaho for 8 months out of the year. I travel most of Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming, and I do not detect a difference in accent between there and most of the Midwest.
