How many accents does your country have? I was speaking to my Russian friend and he told me he couldn't tell if a Russian was from Moscow or the far far east of Russia - because it all just sounds like one russian accent. I thought that was amazing because Britain is tiny in comparison and we have dozens of accents (Posh, Chav, Scouse, Manc, Yorkshire, Cornish, RP, Geordie, Brummie, Welsh, Highland Scot, Glaswegian, Lowland Scot) just to name a few.
How many accents does your country have? Could you locate where a person is from in the country just from hearing them speak?
Shiites have 2 accents Druze have one accent Christians have two accents Sunnis have 3 accents
Nathan Murphy
you could tell someone's religion just from their accent? wtf
Lucas Richardson
Accents that exist in Australia Ozzie accent ranges from politician to full on bogan
Wog accent Half Australian half not, mostly by people who's parents weren't from here
Abo accent How aborigines talk
Only talking accents of people who grew up in Australia eg poo or chink accents not included
Ian Walker
Like 10+ off the top of my head.
Jacob Jackson
you can't tell a perth man from a melbourne man?
Jason Baker
they speak different accent every 100 miles desu
Elijah Perez
We have 3 native dialects, however one of them(Western) is almost extinct. Also r*ssians speaking Latvian have a distinct accent.
Wyatt Thompson
There are differences but not obvious right away ones
Brandon Rivera
hearing people speak with a heavy accent makes me cringe. I want to hear standard (İstanbul) turkish everywhere.
Cameron Gomez
Lel, I can tell somones religion from their name, their city/village, even the type of food he eats and the clothes he wears
Brandon Anderson
that's not good we need more interracial relationships in lebanon
Justin Bailey
Interfaith you mean. i personally want to preserve the sectarian identity
Juan Price
>Also r*ssians speaking Latvian have a distinct accent. give them props for atleast trying. Some don't speak even a word in latvian after living their entire lifes there.
Jace Lee
We have 2 accents. 1)Russian - clean, easy to understand, a wonder to listen to. 2)Kubanoid- subhuman screeching mixed with hohol pronunciation, sounds like a pig being murdered while being fucked at the same time
Daniel White
I can tell accents based on intenations. The only thing that changes syllable wise is beijingers add Rs to the end of everything.
Nihao ->nihar Nali -> nar
Etc... they’ve basically hijacked a language
Nathan Baker
It looks like this. Doesn't mean that two people of the same dialect group can understand each other tho.
I think the only accent I can ever pick is Melbourne It's more regions have some things they say but you can't pick it just from hearing someone speak. It's more like a spectrum with the further south you live, class, education and how regional you are
Sebastian Lopez
Is it true you couldn't tell someone from Vladivostok vs St Petersburg apart?
Austin Hernandez
Every state here have his own accent
Josiah Butler
the entire north east sounds the exact same
Bentley Powell
m.youtube.com/watch?v=Egrfsn2CU8E This video says 28, but there are both more (some are vey specific to a small area) and less (a lot of those have disappeared over time). Besides some regions use different words to designate the same thing so even without accent you can sometimes identify where someone is from
Robert Hill
I could, because people from Vladivostok are villagers. I’m from Saint-Petersburg, we speak like nobility here.
Daniel Murphy
apart from some words that inherent to this regions, no
Levi Anderson
every City does speak differently
Ethan Nelson
The swiss french part of my cunt has already something like 5 different accents that are easy to differentiate. For the swiss german part, there are dozens of dialects, so...
Landon Nelson
Thats because you are foreigner they speak almost the same,but they are different from each other i guy from Bahia don't speak like a guy from Ceará and they are in the same region of the country.
Andrew Cooper
Dialects you mean? Luckily there will be none in a few decades, dialects are cringy.
Chase Flores
Hungarian never had many accents. The only people who speak with an accent are the Hungarians who live on the temporary occupied lands.
Lucas Wilson
The same applies here in the south a person from Paraná don't speak like a person from rio grande do sul but they have similarities
Jayden Stewart
>dialects no A dialect is like Scots to English It has so much slang that whilst you can understand basically what the person is saying - you do have to try a little harder.
An accent isn't difficult to understand at all. There are American accents, British accents and even Scandinavian accents. If you spoke English you would have an accent, but it wouldn't be its own dialect. You'd just have a slight twinge in your voice that identifies you as a foreigner.
Juan Price
Yes but I could say if a person is from Urals or Vologda
Henry Sullivan
I don't know the exact number off the top of my head, but quite a few. Unfortunately, a lot of them have been dying off in favor of a general North American accent.
On a side note, my grandparents have your standard New England accent, which sounds something like "pahk the cah in Hahvahd yahd".
Leo Garcia
No you don't, you rotten junkie
David Perez
Regional differences in accents here do exist but they're quite minute. You'd definitely have to have lived here your while life to pick up on them. I can always spot someone from Sydney due to their unique way of speaking and there are other differences in regions. For example westoids will often accentuate words at the end of sentences more than others, Queenslanders will have more of a drawl in their voice and people from SA will use strange words and phrases not in everyday vernacular in other places. And even in cases like these they aren't always consistent.
Bentley Cook
there is little to no accents in russia because there is no room for pronunciation words differently. Russian language has strict rules about it so you can either speak russian properly or like uneducated slob.
Isaiah Brown
Yeah I know a lot of yours are dying and it's very grim. I went to Boston a few years ago excited about hearing their cool unique accent but I only heard one person with it. At least you still have the south vs north divide
Christian Lee
what about northern australian bulls?
Owen Cook
what part of Russia does Bald sound like he's from?
>At least you still have the south vs north divide I went to Georgia and they all sound like Northerners too. That whole "Bless your heart darlin' " thing is going and soon will be dead forever.
Elijah Cox
i dont consider UK a part of RUssia yet
Bentley Harris
>Saint-Petersburg >nobility Yeah, go jump off a bridge, fag
Colton Carter
He sounds like a non-native
Bentley Ortiz
like a Tuvan?
Jace Flores
No, like a person who learnt language as second/third/whatever language
Two major dialects and a lot of other "dialects" on the territory of present-day Montenegro. A lot more on the territory of former Yugoslavia. You can easily tell where someone is from, region-wise. Dalmatia, NE Croatia, Slavonia, Belgrade, Southern Serbia, Vojvodina, Zeta, Montenegrin coast, Sandžak, Herzegovina...
David Rivera
There are few russian accents and shittione of ukrainian accents and dialects out here.
Ethan Harris
And obviously non-Slavic minorities speak in their own way, so you can easily tell someone is Albanian or Hungarian.
Joseph Foster
dozens of accents and hundreds of dialects, which often are not even mutually intelligible
Chase Fisher
By the way, I think my own dialect (zetski) sounds atrocious. In colloquial speech we usually lose a lot of voices and cases. For example no locative, sometimes no dative and so on. For example "to find" (našao) becomes naša' and such fuckery. People usually speak standard in formal occassions though, otherwise you sound like a peasant. But given language "nationalism" here, speaking like a peasant is encouraged. We also have two voices which don't appear elsewhere (ź (zj) and ś (sj), similar to Polish).
Jeremiah Price
Do the minorities all speak Serbo-Croatian as well?
Samuel Johnson
>Tehranis replace every single A with U and use a ton of English words aswell >Lurs pronounce B as V, M as I, a bunch of other retarded changes and words too >Afghans, Baloch and Tajiks sound like pajeets >Khuzestanis use a lot of Arabic words
t. bakhtiari lur. I only deal with Tehranis, Lurs, Khuzestanis and Afghans in real life so can't say much about others like Hamedanis, Azeris, etc
isn't your language basically the exact same as bosnian, serbian and croatian? Are all of you mutually intelligible?
John Jackson
Yes, with varying degrees of fluency. Most of Albanians here speak okay, and I think most of Hungarians in Serbia speak well.
Sebastian Myers
Yes it is, those are basically dialects, though some are kinda remote (like hard kajkavian, you can read it but when spoken it's kinda hard). Everyone speaks standard language though to some degree, except very remote rural areas.
Nolan Brooks
Scots is a language, not a dialect
Kayden Long
4 regional lithuanian ones and the russian + polak lithuanian accent
James Cook
do atheists look different or do they keep the clothes and such of their religion?
Ian Price
Russian don't have many accents. All Russians speak more or less standard Russian. The only little differences you can find in Nothern Vologda dialect, Southern Kubanoid and Ural dialect. But that differences isn't what you got used to see as a "dialect", just very little phonetic difference of some letters and words. Non-ethnic Russians speak Russian with the accent of their languages. Ukrainians and Belorussians speak with accents as well, but unless they return to Russia they don't count as Russian accents. Yeah, you almost never could tell which part of Russia a person represents, beacuse Russian people had always been united.
Every village has it's (own) voice. Practicly too many.
Cooper Reyes
Yeah, it is kinda weird how many we have - I remember meeting a new colleague and noticing that she didn't have an accent at all to me (this is very rare) - it was because she was from the same small village as I am, even the village 5 miles away has a distinctive different accent
Jack Hernandez
if I can understand it without even trying then it's not a language
for the record Ulster-Scots isn't either it's 100% saying vowels funny
>How many accents does your country have? note: accent != dialect Probably hundreds, they easily change from village to village. We have 3 main dialect groups but out of those some subdialects are almost unintelligible with each other and compared to the standard language some might as well be a completely different langauge. >Could you locate where a person is from in the country just from hearing them speak? With above 80% accuracy, I'm a young zoomer so I couldn't pinpoint the exact place of someone from the other part of my country.
There's two types of accents really, northern and southern, but within these two classifications there's like different accents for each state, so there's at least 32 accents here.
I can definitely tell where people are from based on their accent, and I can for sure tell someone isn't from here because we usually turn any "ch" sound into "sh"
