You know, it's funny that most American's are so intrigued by European (mainly British) accents. I've always wondered if Europeans are wowed by our American accents....anyone? Anyone across the pond just dying to hear a good ole' Texas southern drawl?

Some of my American female friends are always on at me to phone them.

No idea why

There's nothing wrong with the accent, and I still maintain that there is NOTHING wrong with the word y'all. I think everyone should use it. It's a perfectly good word. Y'ALL...

I don't blame'em. I absolutely ADORE Greenlandic accents. I met a bunch of them when I was on holiday in Copenhagen last summer.

Oh, well the Guernsey accent is interesting to say the least. The lady in the second video is completely clueless.



I think my accent is easily moulded because I tend to imbibe the accent and lingual mannerisms of a person when they speak. By lingual mannerisms, I mean words/phrases which are commonly used by them... for example, does someone say "What is the time?" or "What time is it?" or something completely different? And I notice Indians and Sri-Lankans tend to say 'today morning' instead of 'this morning' which I suppose is quite logical when you consider 'yesterday/today/tomorrow morning'. And everyone has a palette of words which they use regularly (containing I think 1000 words or so) - some people stick to that palette and some people go beyond it in daily conversation. Either way there are certain pet-words which people favour and will use regularly.

Anyway... this is why my accent is influenced by those with whom I speak. I've tried but failed to retain my Aussie accent so I've ended up with a harmless mix of the two.



Anyway, here's Alan on South Africans (and their accents). Too bad only half the scene is here.
