What American accent do you have? are you gonna tell me "aboot" it

PS: just in case you didn't know Canadians never say "aboot" it s Scottish

The only strong Canadian accents I've ever noticed are from the French in Quebec and New Brunswick trying to speak English, or from the maritime provinces when you run into the folks from around Gander, Newfoundland or Glace Bay, Nova Scotia.

Udder then that, we be speaking pretty normal. Not like dem strange accents comin up from places like Boston, Jersey, or Mobile Alabama, dair eh?

I was in the UK recently and a waitress in a restaurant in Glasgow, Scotland said "your accent sounds American but it's much milder and easier to understand".

That works for me.

I have only noticed "accents" from people from Nova Scotia, Newfoundland & Quebec of course. I didn't see a diff in Western Canada like BC. Of course I'm from Alaska so I don't notice like I notice the southern US accents lol.

1. maritime english
2. new brunswick french
3. quebec french
4. other french
5. french speakers speaking english with their wonderful french accents
6. english people speaking french with their non rolling r's
7. immigrants attempting to speak english with an accent from their country
8. immigrants attempting to speak french with their accents from their country
9. the inuit language
10. the population that says "zed"
11. the population that says "zee"
12. the population that speaks english with an annoying accent
13. the normal english.

so as you can see, there are a lot of "canadian" accents. i missed quite a few i think.

u r dumb

to the person who says aboit is our accent ...you obviously look too much tv and don't travel very much ...you would know that quebec /ontarians and peole from newfoundland all have different accents ...just like in america some accent are very different

fyi, only people in newfoundland say 'aboot', but if you hear them speak, u wouldnt be able to understand a word of it anyways. and i live in vancouver canada, and aside from saying 'eh' alot, which I do, i'd say our accent is pretty similar to the americans, excluding the southern states, and new york ofcourse

I like it. Of course I'm stuck with one. I'm from Ontario and we have the mildest accents. The harsh ones are definately in Newfoundland, and other Atlantic provinces. I've also heard strange accents in the BC interior.

Except for a few places we don't have an accent that is different than a lot of America.

And we don't say aboot.

The only people who say "aboot" in Canada are from Newfoundland. Just to clear that up.

Depends on where you're talking about...Canada just like the US or any other country in that the accent is different from place to place, like from the west to the east or the north. I for one have never in my life heard a person say "A-boot" but I'd guess that's heard closer to Newfoundland. "Eh" I can understand cause I've known a few people who say that, and it used to drive me crazy :P....

I think it's funny. A-boot. It never gets old for me.
Sounds better than our midwestern accents where I'm at, with our Germanic "O's". "Would you like a sooodah?"
