Nearly the same here with german. I was born and raised in Austria. There's deep dialect spoken in my region. I have gained a lot of german friends due to a lot of time spent on the internet. I have a long distance relationship with a German. Basically: My language is a mess of dialect and non dialect and changes as soon as I am in Germany and I'll need at least a week to get back to dialect. Somehow it's easier for me to adapt to speak standard German than to speak in dialect. Even though I grew up with it.

I have a very basic clear american accent by default, but I gain accents incredibly fast. Like if I visit friends in the southern United states within a week I will start to develop a drawl, or when I spent a few months in california I came home with a slower cadence and saying hella a lot. I think this is because english is technically my second language, I originally spoke spanish, but due to bullying I quickly came to despise speaking it. Coupled with the fact that I was a foster kid for most of my life, I never really had a chance to develop an accent before I moved again, and trying desperately to fit in with my new peers ment I kinda learned to mimic people around me. I didn't really completely loose any accent I picked up, for example I still say hella a lot, and I use words like y'all, just without a strong accent. I also still default to certain words and phrases in spanish, even though I can't speak it fluently.

@@bethhague8470 I think people view it as having been super common back then because regional accents in film, television and radio were very uncommon back then. So of course any recordings we have access to from that time are more likely to be of people speaking RP. So people extrapolate from that that everyone spoke that way back then. Which is of course untrue.

Your accent actually sounds to me very similar to the “posh” version of a southern New England accent that my grandma, my great aunts, and my parents have. I think the “BBC” pronunciation was commonly taught in New England schools up until my parents were teenagers (like “bath” with the elongated “aaa” and dropping “r” at the end of words). I and my family are all from Central Massachusetts, but I don’t have their accent because I learned the “American standard” pronunciation that was typical of news reports in the U.S. of the 1980s (think Dan Rather).

I grew up in North Carolina, then Southern Maryland, my favorite (and only) video game as a small child had a main character with a British accent, both my local and national newscasters had more "national" accents, and my parents are from Virginia and western New York. I can subconsciously pick up and start speaking in all of the above accents and their most immediate neighbors if I hear it for long enough (45 minutes seems to do it) and sometimes have trouble dropping the accent for a little while after I pick it up. I also speak with a bit of southern Maryland (its actually specific to my county, but it's not a big county so I won't tell you the name) accent when I'm tired and have a more "national" accent normally. Also brother had/has a small speech impediment and apparently I pick it up when it just the two of us for a bit. People have asked if we're british/russian/whatever, idk. It's a pretty common speech impediment so I'm guess the few who comment on it are in the minority of those who notice.

I grew up in Davie County (near Winston-Salem) and moved to the Asheville area for college. I've lived here ever since and I've had to change the way I speak so people here can understand me. It's only two hours away from where I grew up, but there are SO MANY transplants from other places that the Asheville accent is diluted to a more neutral sound. When I'm out in the county, I can talk with my normal rural accent, but when I go into town no one will understand what I'm saying unless I speak the way they do. It seems backwards that they associate my accent with low intelligence. They're the ones having trouble understanding, while I can understand all the accents and adjust mine to suit other people.🤷🏻‍♀️

I don't mean to do it, and I'm not a great mimic so it tends to offend people, but childhood trauma is a hell of a drug and now my brain thinks I need to do bad impressions of people in order to fit in

@alansmith8893 4 жыл бұрын

Fun fact: Accents are more tightly packed together in space on the British Isles than anywhere else in the English speaking world. This pattern takes a weird turn in the United States, where if you know what to listen for you can hear which part of New York city or which county in the American South, but when you get west it smooths out a lot and someone from Washington State sounds about the same as someone in New Mexico over a thousand miles away. If we suddenly pulled a Big O (the anime) tomato surprise and all forgot everything, linguists would use this fact to conclude that English came from England (though that right there would be a pretty big hint) and more or less accurately reconstruct how it spread, because if a language lives somewhere for a long time, preferably without a lot of travel, the more accents you get. Biologists do something similar all the time to figure out where animals and plants come from.

3:28 ‘Gaelic’, pronounced ‘gal - ick’, only applies to Scots-Gaelic; It’s a distinct language but has roots in Early Irish. What some people may call Irish Gaelic, is just called ‘Irish’ or the Irish Language. In the language itself, we call it ‘Gaeilge’! Then, Ulster Scots is the language which is disputed as a dialect or language. It’s separate from both Scots-Gaelic and Irish, and it’s used mostly in Northern Ireland. Hope that helps! 💚

If you talk to someone from the Deep South in Louisiana; it’s different in comparison to someone that’s from a northern state like Minnesota. I’ve traveled from coast to coast, everyone sounds different. It doesn’t surprise me that Gaelic is actually a language used in several ways.
