We all have an initial gut reaction when we hear someone speaking with an accent. I don't even believe these stereotypes but I always think of them.

What is your reflex upon hearing an accent in your native tongue? In English? How do you react when you hear a Canadian accent?

CANADIAN
Newfie = WTF
Native = scum
West = no accent

ENGLISH
English = genius
Cockney = scum-genius
Irish = it's like music
Scottish = primitive
Midwest = normal
Southerner/Appalachian = uneducated racist!
Texan = honest
Boston = grating
New York = rude
Australian = adventurous
South African = Australian?
Jamaican = easygoing

FOREIGN
German = sinister
Spanish = romantic
French = arrogant/cultured
Italian = scum
Russian = untrustworthy
Chinese = ugh kill me
Japanese = gentle/stoic
African = nigger
East Indian = telemarketer

>No west coast accent
That's because everyone else tries to emulate our English.

Former leaf here from the maritimes.

West does have an accent.
Its the way you say 'an' words.

Examples:

Man would sound like "Mon"
Banff sounds like "Bonff"

Its subtle, but there.

The Californian surfer dude slash valley girl accent is cool if it's not too strong but sounds immature otherwise.

West Coast American is pretty similar to Canadian.

I thought Midwest American is the standard American/English accent.

It's what I grew up with so it's invisible to me.

>tfw from the south and have some mix of a Midwest with slight southern spin and it makes me better than all of you

i always think people who don't speak german or have an accent are stupid.
i mean..you know what i mean ? As if they are retarded or just to stupid to speak the most advanced white language and therefor they have to be less intelligent..and if you look at it vhances are high that i am right

For some Dutch accents
Holland: Subhuman tokkie
Frisian: Subhuman Snowape
Brabants: Well-mannered intellectual
Limbourgish: Peasants
Zeeuws: Inbred peasants
Everything from the east: Drunk peasants

It's like how my maritime accent is invisible to me but its recognized out there.

People used to ask me to say "bar" and "car" because of how we say it. Same with "house".

Your entire language sounds like me clearing my throat.

oi cunt wheres australia? aka best country in the world

German is piss easy to learn but I'd never lose my accent.

The way you guys say Haaaaaaallo makes my skin crawl.

Whenever i hear british accent and espesially london accent it makes me cringe. It sounds so retarded.

You got cucked out of yours

Is it because of how they say 'th' words?

Whenever I hear a British person say "I fink dat" I want to slap them.

Portuguese: lisboetas. You couldn't sound gayer

>tfw not a Paddy.

Try again, kid.
I do appreciate stroopwafels though.

Yep, and all these "ou"s and the way the pronounce "o"s in every word.

I love Southern culture and history now that I've actually learned about it, but I can't help my reaction. I must have gotten the stereotype from (((movies))) I saw as a kid. Same goes for all the foreign accents with negative stereotypes, except African and East Indian, which are legitimately shitty cultures. I have a positive reaction to Jamaican even though I've since learned that Jamaica is garbage.

What then?
Immigrants are gay remember

>Hear Swedish accent
>user, why are you laughing?

Thanks Sup Forums.

My reaction to Australian was originally
>adventurous (please don't say cunt)
but I deleted the second part to make things shorter.

Seriously how can you use that word so liberally?

Non-white immigrants are gay is what you mean to say, Neils.
Don't act like you'd hate it if a bunch of other Europeans moved into your country. At least they wouldn't make videos of them dropkicking your women from behind.

What part of Holland are you from? It is a nice county to visit.

It is painful to listen to. Last time I was in London I heard an old couple at the airport talking.

"Show I puh-shet" was how they said "Shall I push it". Instant anger.

Thanks, this is informative.

I honestly don't know a Dutch accent in English, and I've known Dutch people. It's probably because it's so easy for Dutchmen to go stealth mode in English.

what? cunt is cunt

its like hey guy or hey whats up

hey cunt

I am italian but I've been told by an american friend that I have the weirdest not-italian sounding accent. He said it sounded like a brutalized british accent.

Indian = pass the poppadoms

>shall

OMG just say "can" or "will"

Englishmen think they're meeting the Queen or something.

You call me a cunt to my face and you'd better call an ambulance too.

"Cunt" is probably second to "nigger" in worst words in Canada.

Which accent am I most favorable too?

When I hear an Italian accent I think American LCN. Is that a particular Italian accent?

soft cunts cant stand the word cunt

therefore your country is a soft cunt

My contempt for niggers, shitskins and kikes is nothing compared to the hatred I feel for retarded Canadians who post stupid bullshit like this.
KYS

I literally cannot understand what poor Scottish people are saying when they talk to me, it's like someone with brain damage huffed helium.

You're a big meanie.

>Southerner/Appalachian = uneducated racist!
>African = nigger
Nice shitpost

Stereotypes formed in childhood from watching movies usually aren't logically consistent.

All I know is that I love that filthy Yorkshire lass accent.

No, the Midwestern accent is basically how Sarah Palin speaks, i.e, "Ah-MEER-ican", "HE-ere"

Yeah it's a terrone (southerner) accent, english speaking italians have a thick accent but that's not the standard one. You know, intruding vowels at the end of words and shoving in random stops while talking. My accent though doesn't sound italian, it sounds "generic foreigner". I blame learning it through internet communication\videogames as a kid rather than actually studying it, it's a puzzle of accents i've heard.

What about Afrikaans?

VAN DER MERWE

Midwest master race. Apparently I sound like Dimebag Darrel to anyone outside of the south and midwest.

Simplified Dutch

Australian Immigrant accents:

South African= Cocky/machismo
Lebanese=gutter thug with superior attitude
Chinese=I will own you, you'll have to speak Mandarin soon.

UK Regional accents:

Geordie=dumb but good-natured and honest
Welsh=same as above
Posh Scottish=patrician, sophisticated with a melodic quality
underclass scottish=ill 'ave you cunt
Scouser=petty criminal
Essex=dumb normie like a reality tv contestant
West Country=inbred rural
General middle-class southern accent=cuck
N. Ireland=high-strung, rough

>I thought Midwest American is the standard American/English accent.

It is (read: Ohio, etc.). And supposedly many people from the Midwest moved to the West Coast during the Dust Bowl, which is why California has a similar (but not exactly the same) accent to the Midwest.

It's not even simplified, you can't understand it, yet we can understand you

anyone with a british accent sounds more authoritative and smart to me

MAYNE

Norn Oirish is probably the most low-class accent I've ever heard, it literally sounds retarded:

youtube.com/watch?v=O-m_BPYJG6M

Mais, I got a Lower Lafourche Cajun accent, me. Y'all don' even know what.

That's just because you've never actually been there, if you see the people who don't just present the news on BBC or aren't starring in some classically thespian period-piece, they sound like utter retarded morons

I can understand it as well as any other Dutch accent

You're a sick cunt aye

Exactly. Anything short of saying how emasculate, faggy, and utterly hysterical their high-pitched accents sounds betrays Designated-Shitstreet-Americans

Northern Americans speak really funny, like that ulililia dude
