I've got an Nova Scotia-Ontario accent.

I would also like to say that Silvey does sound like Hurley.

Nah... I sound pretty normal.

I think it's pretty hard to have an "English Quebec accent" to begin with. One of those rare things...

When I'm speaking English and I'm relaxed, I tend to have a slight southern-drawl, but it's not very pronounced, so it's easily missed.

I actually tend to change my accent depending on who I'm speaking with... but that's also related to needing to use multiple languages here where I live.
For instance, if I go a bit to the east or to the north, I need to switch out of the local dialect, and into "standard" German (most Germans and can't understand the Swiss dialect at all). Going west though, I just slightly change my accent to adapt to the dialects over there... until I go far enough west, and I have to switch to French (which I don't like, but it's not like I have a choice in some parts of this country ).

Well, I guess mine is just the default run-of-the-mill American accent. Nothing special.
I'm from Washington and I don't think we really have an accent per se. But it is a more...educated area thus we call it soda instead of pop (which is a sound).

Apparentely, I speak like a farmer boy...Whatever that means.

I assume that it is my "strong tongue" that I get from being of Eastern European descent and the slang that I pick up from hanging around with low lifes.

Well, I guess if I were to talk english, it would be with a slight Norwegian accent, because that's where I'm from. But I think I talk pretty good, as in, it's not a very distinct Norwegian accent. But who am I to tell?

Now, as for my native tongue dialect, it's definately a pure Northern Norwegian dialect. Well, I'm not sure how I'm supposed to describe this dialect..

But it's a norhtern dialect, which in Norway isn't one of those 'finer' dialects. Bah. Damn those southerners.

But there also different types of Northern dialects, depending on where you live.. what you're doing, you're age.. and all that.. So I guess that my dialect would be sorta halfway countryside, or something.

Hey, LizardKing. Northern Norwegian is considered by many to be the most beautiful accent (though, of course, there are variations. I think southerners prefer Troms-Northern over Nordland-Northern). I mean, heck, I'm from

A lot of Chris' family is from/lives in Philly, and they have a really strong Philly accent; its pretty cool., and I think one of the most intresting accents out there.

You say that, but then you run into some guy from Chelsea who speaks better English than you do, but be damned if you can understand what
