I guess this question is really geared mostly to native English speakers but if someone asked you which accent do you have what would you say? I'm asking this because I was recently watching a Youtube video about the different accents in the UK and I had no idea that what is considered to be the "standard" accent is called "R.P." (received pronounciation). I had never heard of that term before. I guess in the US the equivalent to RP would be "Mid-Atlantic".

Anyway, I would personally describe myself as having a "Mid-Atlantic" accent.

I'm a southerner, I have no accent.

I'm sure any native Texan would think you have an accent.

I'm from Ct. and R.I. the people here think I'm from Boston due to an accent

and it's funny how Boston has such a different accent from RI or NH. I'd say New England since I've lived here my whole life but when I talk to accounts in Boston I sound nothing like them.

No, we would think he is normal

Wicked pissah eh?

Mostly "California English" for me.

Same here TG my accent isn't even close to Boston or Maine,,most of the folks here sound Southern to me..New England all my life until i moved to Ohio

I guess either Florker or New Yoridian here.

Common as muck West London

I have what's called in Newfoundland a "towny" accent. Take Waterford Irish and mix it with Devonshire English and let a few hundred years go by When I go to the UK, folks are always puzzled by my accent and when in the states many Americans think I'm Irish

I don't think I have an accent but when I went to college in the far north of Michigan, one of my room mates (a native of Michigan) told me that he could barely understand my mother, who was from Pennsylvania, due to her southern accent.

Not a native english speaker but over here, I get asked whether I'm American or Canadian since my accent does not conform to the local accent. Even when I do agency work and travel and they ask me where I live and I say where I live here in the UK, they frown and say that my accent still doesn't fit.... Even after 7 years....

Hey -Ice wear it proud ..They must have an accent to you also

I'm not sure eh.

When I lived in Philadelphia many people mentioned my "accent". I always thought Michigan didn't have much of an accent. There is something to be said about a southern girls accent. I like the western Pennsylvania accent too.

Panzer, I never really thought you had a specific noticeable accent. Perhaps you do have some mid-atlantic traits, as I understand them.

Do you think I have an accent?

Not much of an accent. I've even been asked where I'm from originally. I think I slip a bit more the older I get. My wife on the other hand, there's no doubt she's from down here.

Like RK, I don't have much of an accent but wife has a bit of a Cajun accent, maybe not as much as she use to (due to age or living away from home for so many years).

Not quite this strong, although I know people who do sound like this, including family...
