As a Canadian, from Ontario (central Canada), I can say that the Canadian accent is generally more similar to the American, but the pronunciation of certain words in Canada have retained a British influence. Spelling too.

2:55 Canuckian here: Process (ah cess) Verb. Process (oh cess) noun. Depends on the use of the word. One is the verb -you process (ah cess) minerals using a process (oh cess) (noun) designed by engineers.

I describe being Canadian as flip-flopping between British and American forms depending on the phase of the moon.

I'm Canadian and for me, process with a long O is a verb and process with a short O is a noun. Also route pronounced with "oo" is a noun and route pronounced with "ow" is a verb.

So here in my rural area of ontario, every one from town to town pronounce about more like aboat. Its usually pronounced this way when speaking fast and in the middle of sentences. We most definitely dont say aboot.

Make more videos with Sydney from Canada 🇨🇦 , she is a great add and is funny watch her and the others girls

Lauren here 🇬🇧 It was so much fun filming with Callie and Sydney! Hope you guys enjoyed our pronunciation comparisons 🤩

The Canadian Accent has several influences of Irish, Scottish, and English settlers, but the biggest influence was the American Revolution and it's end. About 45,000 18 century American Colonial speakers/refugees, who remained loyal to England, known as Royal Empire Loyalists, settled in Ontario and New Brunswick, by 1812, there were 100,000 American Colonial speakers in Ontario. By the late 1800s to the early 1900s the descendants migrated across western Canada. The Canadian Accent thus, descends from an 18 century American Colonial Accent. The Atlantic Provinces have a slightly different settlement history and thus, sound more Scottish/Irish but that is starting to sync with the general Canadian Accent. While we have Canadian rising we are apparently going through a vowel shift ( also a similar shift in parts of the US) sometimes referred to as Valley girlisation. I have actually noticed this change in young women under 30ish.

I am so comfortable with Sydney because I am also from Canada and I hear her accent all the time! Everything just moves rapidly for me lol

I can see now , Christina 🇺🇲is making videos with Hana 🇬🇧 , while Lauren is with Carlie 🇺🇲 and Sydney 🇨🇦 , even though isn't common see Christina 🇺🇲 and Lauren 🇬🇧 apart , this isn't a duo , it's THE duo

Lived in Canada, Toronto, for 55 years. Distinguishing an Ontario accent from a New York of Ohio accent is a challenge. Very similar.

As a Canadian now living in the US I’ve discovered many things that are interchangeably pronounced for us are one way for the US and the opposite for the UK. Like “adult.”

Sydney does a really great job of representing Canada.

The process of the process of speaking Canadian English is unique to us 😉

In the N E US, there's no one set way to ask a question (e.g., "Can I borrow a pencil?"). It usually depends on context and familiarity between the persons involved. For the more formal and unacquainted communication, we even add 'may I' and 'please' to the sentence, or even 'excuse me'. If they're more familliar people, the formal "going up" intonation isn't even neccessary (but sometimes still practiced). We can get very casual and 'free-flowing' in our sound. -

Living in Canada for 40 years and I've never heard anyone call a bus station a bus depot. Also, we say "buck" or "dollar" too. Loonie and Toonies only refer to the actual coins.

That up and then down - yeah, I remember my English teacher mentioning this, it's the stressed syllable of the last word of the question where the intonation is the highest.

With this videos I'm learning english, it's very funny😌❤I like the accent of the 3 countries.

sydney is such a good rep of canada - coming from both east and west here :)

Organization can be pronounced both depending what you mean, the i isn’t emphasized if you are speaking about an organization but you’d emphasize the i when you are referring to some being organized as in someone has great organization skills

I'm behind on watching these... but I always love these videos, and they never disappoint. Thanks, ladies! :)

Does the pronunciation of 'process' depend on the part of speech one considers?

Callie is very smilling and cute, she loves comedy and smilling 🤗🤭💛🌼🔅🔆🤝👍🍸🥂🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

The unusual A sounds in the Canadian accent are a part of a feature known as the Canadian vowel shift. A whole series of vowels are have a cascading shift in their sounding due to one vowel having changed (can’t remember which). California and the American Pacific Coast have a similar (but not quite identical) vowel shift, which is why it is not uncommon for urban Canadian accents to get casually mistaken for northern Californian accents at first. New Zealand also has a distinctive but different vowel shift.

depends where you're from in canada. if there is a higher concentration of people with british descent, then inflection and pronounciation follow. many of my friend's parents came over, so we would pick up their way of speaking.

The problem is there is no one English, American, or Canadian accent-Although, there isn’t much variation in Canadian English. But more than most think.

We definitely need Australian & New Zealand girls here to complete the English speaking set.

I'm Irish and my accent and pronunciation is literally a mix of the 3 for some reason lol

Glad to see Canada being represented by Sydney again

If anyone would like to hear a strong rural Canadian accent I would recommend watching clips from the fantastic TV show Letterkenny. That show is basically a documentary of Canada

Great video.

5:35 - LOL! Someone's a fan of A Christmas Story. It's Italian! The infamous leg lamp! LOL!

Got love australian accents 😍all Accents are funn

It's always good to see Lauren from the UK .

1:16 the eye roll when she caught herself saying eh 😂

Britishers used to say: May I borrow a pen?

5:58 so i used to say it like the u.s (where i'm from) "i'm sorry about that" but nowadays i usually say "i'm soary about that", i have barely a clue how that happened.

In canada we would say, out and about or galavanting

Socks are so cute, they should have flags on them

They seem to say things the longest possible way in the UK, the shortest possible way in the US, and somewhere in the middle for Canadians.

I say "I'm in the pr-OH-cess or buying a house" and "I'll pr-Ah-cess the numbers"

Canada and UK are kinda similar

Our Canadian accents vary from our ancestors and where they came from canadas very diverse we have British French Jamaican Somalian native and various Asian in Canada we got a little bit of everything in Canada but most people speak 2 languages so we have a accent

Callie is so cute. 🥰

@3:41 - Sydney "Out-in-a-boat" 😊

American here. Love to hear British, Canadian and American English pronunciations of the same word. Our Canadian cousins, from Saskatoon, pronunce garage as "gredge". We give them a hard time that as they give us a hard time that we pronounce process as "pra-cess".

😂😂😂😂 pasta you get your pasta

as a spaniard its funny to see this because all of them sounded the same to me

Canadian here. I notice that the words given for Canadian are very obscure examples. People wouldn't look at you funny if you said them, but they are not in common use. For example no one use Fire Hall anymore and Fire Station is the common term. Likewise bus station is the common term. Maybe it is a regional thing in Eastern Canada but not in the west.

You should tackle some difficult ones like "roof" or "foyer", americans have interesting ways to pronounce these.

Many Canadians and Americans sound the same to me unless they are saying very specific things. From an American. 🇨🇦🇺🇸

Her "American" accent is completely different than my "American," originally from the Mid-West but now Pacific-Northwest for the past 18 years with a year in the South thrown in just to round it off, accent.

I think it would be useful for the participants to say which part of their country they’re from.

What confuses me about the UK is they say the work School as we do in America. But Schedule (the same SCH sound) is shed-ule. That's what gets me every time.

Canada is just America and Britain’s love child tbh

Where does the "i" sound come from in "organization" because I have never heard it said this way before. Super weird

she is sydney from canada(toronto)😃

I like that canadian lady she is elegant and attractive...

I love canadian english

There's one more child missing from the United Kingdom, he lives far away. called; "Australia" actually has another son, the youngest; "New Zealand" 😂😂

Canada “ Surry ah-boot that eh”

Pasta beer, eh!

It should be noted that in no way shape or form should these be considered representative of Canadian and American accents as a whole as they are very much regional in nature, as it would be in any country. The Canadian young lady speaks in a central Canadian accent that bears little resemblance to that spoken on the prairies or the west coast, or for that matter, the East Coast .Calling it a Canadian accent is incorrect The American lady speaks in a regional accent as well, and cannot be representative of the country of the United States as a whole. Likewise, the girl, the lady from the UK is not representative of England in any way, shape or form other than her own particular dialect, as there are dozens of dialects in the UK. That said it an enjoyable video.

Standard American English: yes/no questions, voice goes up at the end. "Wh- questions, (who, what, when, where, why, how) voice goes down at the end.

To a foreigner like me, all of them sound basically identical

Canadian ❤️❤️

Canadian have very up accent like i said before, they can fake usonian, british, irish, scotish accent,...and they your own accent, nice cute video. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 Sidney represents Canada very well🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸💛💛💛💛

As someone from Europe, I don't hear the difference between an American and a Canadian accent..

I’m from the east coast 🇨🇦 and I say “oatnaboat”

1:51 i think with canada.. its like.. we talk slow.. but fast.. but less stacatto and like… vocal fry without the fry for some.. so it kinda sounds ike we’re mumbling and not very clear.. and inunciating on the wrong parts😂 i dunno.. i’m confused but its definelty there,

The most stereotypical Canadian phrase would be “Jesus Murphy, I’ve bin oot n aboot with fackin Recky all oover the treeler pairk”.

Sydney is back yay

Canadian

The Canadian female is the prettiest out of the three.

The fragile difference reminds me of other words like "missile", "mobile", and "hostile". Americans sound like they're saying "hostel mistle is moble" instead of "hostile missile is mobile".

We Canadians are known to say “Sorry” for everything.

I liked the Canadian better... also the language 😉

As a Canadian I don't hear the difference of the British pasta and Canadian lol. It's so strange to me haha but I know its there

Sydney's accent is very typically Canadian, not even a hint of weirdness or being atypical. I do want to say, when she says "about" she says it perfectly, but when she explains it and sounds out the "aboot" it is not really Canadian (she overthinks it and tries to compensate for the spelling, which was never accurate way to represent the sound). She hits the typical Canadian "about" constantly during the other parts of the video. Kind of ironic that she cannot even hear herself say it. Although I do agree that it gets stronger in rural areas and regions but not as "aboot". Think how Sydney says "about" at 3:56 and 4:03 and that is pretty much the rural pronunciation but a bit faster than it would be pronounced in rural areas.

British accent is easy than these two accent 😇😍

I’m Canadian and unless you’re from Newfoundland or French Canada then Canadians don’t have accents like if you’re from Toronto like me then you don’t have an accent

Explore Golgumbaz

Very British Words Tap Water, Gin & Tonic, Loo, Way Out, Rugby

Canadians can't even pronounce Calgary the same way. Some put a heavy emphasis on the second syllable for some weird reason.

I live in Alberta. We never say "ABOOT". That is an eastern Canadian thing .... like way east.

As a proud Ottawan, I'm here to tell you: The Canadian girl gave up on her principals. It's pronounced: "Organization".

The Irish? My family in UK?? I in Malta???

More Canadians say "aboot" than Sidney would think. I live outside of the country and can hear it clearly.

I live in Ontario Canada and I have no idea what this Canadian girl is saying. We speak just like the American Girl

I say outandabout

I'm an Indian I follow British English

Pino × Pino × Pino = Pinokio Pinokio Boneka Kayu Yang Lucu 😅

East Coast in the state of Delaware in USA: 1) We say Pah Sta or Past (The Word Past) and then uh so pastuh 2) Organ-I-zation like Callie and Sydney AND also we use orgeh-neh-zation 3) Prah cess and I have heard pro-cess too. 4) Out and about, or out n about also 5) Can I borrow your pencil? Yes we go up too 6) be careful it’s fra-gill or we also say fragile like UK and Canada too. I’ve heard it a lot here in the east coast. It’s definitely common to say it. Maybe because the mid Atlantic is close to New England. I personally say fragill most but sometimes I’ll say fra-gile too 7) I’m sorry (I’m sawrry or sore-ry)

What happened to the Aussies lol

I’m from Canada and to me organihzation is a bureau or an agency and organEYEzation It’s like organizing things

Pronounce Lieutenant, and the British will say Left-tenant. Also hood vs bonnet, trunk vs boot, truck vs lory.

Is the American girl from the midwest? She pronounces some words with a midwestern accent which sounds more Canadian.

I've learned a lot today. Thank you "WORLD FRIENDS"

Canada sounds like Americans to me but some words sounds UK-ish

Oh come out put a bit more Canadian on that sorry.... "Oh fuck sorry there bud" Or is that just us in Southwestern Ontario lmfao.....
