I have never found a single person in the Midwest that has a similar accent to a different person in a different midwestern state or even just area of a midwestern state

The Pittsburgh accent is disappearing among the younger population. With the closure of the steel mills and the move toward a more tech based economy it is being dispersed and/or diluted. There is even a course offered at the Community College of Allegheny County aimed at helping residents lose their Pittsburgh accent. It’s sad to see our uniqueness disappear. I can lose the accent for business, but pick it up around family and friends.

I would love to hear an analysis of the “children of Italian immigrants in Canada” accent. They have a very distinct accent even though they were born and raised here.

At at 12:04 he uses the term ‘Scotch-Irish’ to describe the settlers of Western North Carolina. The correct term would be ‘Scot-Irish’. The word ‘Scotch’ is, to me a least, the dialect of a native of Scotland and a whiskey. I have known a few Scots and a few more Scotches.

I’m intrigued by and slightly suspicious of the early 20th century American accents of women in British period dramas – Cora in Downton Abbey, and the Selfridge women in the original UK Mr. Selfridge – they sound very saccharine and strange to me

Really interested to see part two. If he doesn’t bring it up in the next video I’d like to know what his take on Texas German is. I don’t speak it but have, apparently, inherited some of its accent and usage of terms without having realized it. I read a study on it and noticed I actually use some of the terms or variants they mentioned. I thought I was so far removed generationally that I had nothing of it in my speech.

I was enjoying this video, until the first linguist, communicated how disgusting, it was that he’d focused on “white” dialects. I appreciate exploring how race affects linguistic diversity, but not his virtue signaling which apparently is a necessity in 2021, to show the audience this guy is cool because he hates his own race and his negative implication, that the audience should too. Why do that? The same information could have been explored and enjoyed by the listener, without the leftist racist messaging.

I’m a born and bred New Yorker with a natural New York accent. But as my Michigan-born wife will attest, it’s only strong when I talk with other native-born New Yorkers. Otherwise it softens and even moves towards the accent of the person I’m talking with. Anyone else have that problem?

Modern segregation is really starting to freak me out. I know this is supposed to be the ‘good’ kind of segregation, where white people and POC are only allowed to do certain things for the benefit of traditionally marginalized peoples. But it’s still segregation, and I was raised to treat someone based on their character, not the color of their skin. They had ‘black only’ spaces at my college. I thought I stepped back in time until someone told me it was by choice, not by force. But still, does that even matter?

It’s a shame that the “how black people got to America” was negligently oversimplified and left out the whole part about being taken by opposing tribes and sold first to Europeans and in the West Indies before the colonies began to purchase them- long after so many other countries engaged in the slave trade. No, she needn’t have included an exhaustive history of how they got here, but using accurate context and information would have given her more credibility rather than trying to rewrite history herself.

For a Non-American the US concept of “race” is already hard to understand and follow. But saying accent varies by race I find highly doubtful. Language and accents are a social thing characterized by social groups.
It’s almost like saying: by only listen to a voice sample you can guess the phenotype of a person?! I wonder how you will hear if the speaker has blond or black hair?

“Latinx” is not pronounced “Latin X”. You either say Latine (pronounced the same way as Latino but with an “eh” instead of an “oh”) if you want to be modern and gender neutral, or you just say Latino. “Latin X” sounds like a weird version of the X Factor.

Oh thank heavens! I thought the Non ethnic human in the beginning was a white supremacist or at least a white voyerist, I’ve now come to realize that they till has white privilege because they had the whole screen to themselves but when they were talking to the krher humans the screen was split between them. I believe the best course of action to take is to cancel them, they is probubly on the white benefit side of the 8 white identities because they did not shout out that they hate other white humans.

I’m having trouble believing that black dialect goes back to slavery. So much history has happened in the last 100 years. Accents and phraseology are influenced along the way by other things too. The idea that everything in Black culture Roots out of slavery is becoming a bit tedious. My family is heavily Germanic and Irish but if you examined my accent and my phraseology you would probably reference my West coast family or my exposure to time in the south. I doubt you would go back 200 years to my European ancestors
Terri Mobley
February 19, 2021 at 1:10 am
And language isn’t White. A little bit of unacknowledged racism here people. White people don’t have accents. European people have accents each of them different according to the region in which they live Asians have accents different to the regions in which they live skin color does not make people talk a certain way. So saying that these accents sound White as opposed to European or Asian is a bit telling. Political correctness leaking all over the place

As a non native English speaker I’ve spent a lot of effort in trying to blend, and although I don’t sound as most of my countrymen when speaking English I certainly sound foreign. That used to bother me but when I realized that even native English speakers can’t fully imitate another accent I stopped worrying. I certainly try to pronounce the best I can but keeping an accent is part of my own identity.

As a voice coach and accent specialist for commercials, industrials, etc… I can tell you for a fact that the “classical southern accent” you speak of???

It existed in “Gone With the Wind” and it still exists in Netflix’s “House of Cards” since Kevin Spacey cannot master a real Georgia accent.

It is a complex topic, I don’t know how anyone would take such an in depth interest in this, I couldn’t study this stuff, I would drop it. There is not only English that has all these things going on but every language has this complex nature and changes happening, it is a bunch of endless rabbit holes.
Go to Guyana if you want to hear a new language. After a few days you will realize they are speaking English. When the cops stop you for speeding say ” me a know, me first time a tong” or “I don’t know , it’s my first time to town” and speaking to your friends ” Meh vil gaf vid ya tamara” or “I will talk with you tomorrow.” To say “leave it alone” ” left it” They didn’t understand what I was saying until I was joking around trying to imitate them.

In my linguistics course in university I heard that our major cities have the same accent even though we are so far apart (except for Quebec, it’s always except Quebec). Growing up in Calgary Alberta I thought I had a very plain accent and then I learned that infact we do! If you could explain this and go over Indigenous accents would be ao fascinating ☺️

@wired, since you’re obviously tripping over yourselves to be politically correct I’m wondering if you could explain something.

Brazil especially, imported nearly ten million slaves for their coffee commodity.

In regards to “Smoothing”, it is quite common in Arkansas, especially northern hill portion of Arkansas, to hear this such as hearing a flat “Hi” or “High” without a dipthong as in “Hah” instead of “Hi” or “High” as in the dipthong “Hah-ee”. You end up hearing a person went to ‘Hah” School rather than “Hah-ee” School. And this is heard by both blacks and whites in many parts of the state. To further this unique sound, some (especially Blacks) will drop the “L” at the end of “school” so you end up with they went to “Hah Skoo” rather than “Hah-ee Skoo-el”. Perhaps this is a combination of “Smoothing” and “Monophthongization”. Others may can explain it better than my attempt.

I think he (or Wired, or whoever) is trying to bring other voices up so that he doesn’t totally dominate, allow particular expertises to shine (I suspect none of them has the collective expertise of all of them), particularly on history of the dialects.

The reason why Raliegh NC does not sound like North Carolina is that the northerners took it over It might as well be another northern state (most there are first-gen immigrants)

The map at the start showing all the accents in Britain has a label for Ireland. It should say Northern Ireland. It’s a separate county for one (Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland are two different countries that is), but more so that if you wanted to include all of the different accents on the island of Ireland, you’d need a much longer list.

Compared to most of Europe (except France and Russia) the US have very little variety of accents. In Germany, Italy or even little Belgium, you can travel 20 miles and you don’t understand what people want to say. In the UK it’s less dramatic but still pretty diverse, specially in the North of England, Scotland and the West. In the US, there is a generally accepted “American Accent” of English across the country, and except maybe some Appalachian or Southern varieties, all Americans can understand each other. That’s maybe a reason why we are less picky with foreigners, since our own accents and varieties are so diverse.

My family has lived in the Pittsburgh area since the 1850s. I would not mistake his example of Pittsburgheze for being that of a native.

Erik Singer shows us that it is next to impossible to convincingly replicate many other accents as an actor. That’s why, in earlier centuries, there were distinct “theatrical” dialects and accents for each language so that travelling players could be understood by most people in different parts of the same country. The cinema did that too: the “Mid-Atlantic” accent in serious Hollywood films and the “cut glass” accent in old British films such as “Brief Encounter.” But amateur actors did replicate local accents, especially in comedies.
The problem with rural speech is that it varies so much and most of it is not widely intelligible, so there used to be standard ways of speaking for yokels, workmen, servants, etc on the stage and in early cinema. Hollywood still does that for children, who all speak some form of ‘Murcan.

I think the white New Yorkers don’t even sound like that anymore though , and if they do they’re pretty old lml . Can you please talk about this ? I find it interesting how New Yorkers kind of sound more cali or “proper” , like they actually sound a little more relaxed and pronounce more . But that’s just me . The hispanic/black community way of talking is spot on though, this was very nice to watch !

The generation of socialism is upon us. History always repeats. They will unknowingly through thier Supreme confidence and woke knowledge, will create a society that will destroy individual freedom and create death and destruction upon America to solve past generations sins. 1920’s all over again. The next generations will judge them for the destruction of the American Experiment.

Again, the focus is on the NYC accents only. Take a trip up north and you’ll hear a wide variety of accents. Up on the border it has a heavy french influence and out by Rochester and Buffalo it becomes more Middle american english.
Thanks for forgetting that NYS is not NYC.

i would love for erik to break down johnny depp’s accent and how it’s changed over the years. it’s very unique, for an american i’d say. it’s like a combination of every character he’s ever played. i imagine it’s common for actors who fully immerse themselves in roles to have rollercoaster-like accents, but i only know of his specifically. it’s shocking to hear him speak in interviews. i don’t expect to know how he’ll sound like i can with actors whose accents are consistent.

“Latinx”
I guess being a linguist and language expert doesn’t make you a grammar expert. Spanish, just like French, gender all their nouns. Im more familiar with French, but we don’t use “the” or “a/an”, but rather “le/la” and “un/une”, which indicates that the following word is either masculine or feminine. And one of the grammar rules is basically masculine wins. If there are latinos and latinas in a room, we’ll say the latinos. Latinx is word invented and used by people who don’t understand or respect the Spanish language, and prefer to virtue signal

organized force which is controlled wholly by their will, not by the will of their people. We have seen the last of
neutrality in such circumstances,”
(Wilson).
“To such a task we can dedicate our lives and our fortunes, everything that we are and everything that

It never gets old hearing Eric switch so fluidly between such distinct accents. It’s one thing to understand accents and be able to explain plosives and fronting and all the other specifics of an accent, but it’s a whole other thing to be able to actually pull them off, and it’s yet another level of skill to be able to switch between them at will, with seemingly no thought, and stay so consistantly convincing.
Absolutely brilliant.

Wish you had spent more time on Southern accents which is the most beautiful and easiest on the ears of all American accents. Hollywood, most of the time, does not do a good job on Southern accents. Have never heard the typical “Hollywood Southern accent” spoken anywhere in the South. Marilyn had a great Southern accent in Bus Stop and so did Vivian in Streetcar. Thought Vivian overdid the accent in Gone with the Wind. Once heard Burt Reynolds use a phony Hollywood Southern accent in a movie and he’s a Southerner altho he did ok in Deliverance.
BTW, your Southern accent was passable.
