Can American Guess The Accents in American (New York, Atlanta, California, North Carolina, Ohio) 

You are welcome! good job👍 Hope to see you more here🤗

Unnecessary comment but you are a very beautiful woman!

Thanks for this interesting content! Come to visit us in Rio de Janeiro Brazil some day!!

"We're known for our beaches" "Ok, are you from New Mexico? Girl, come on 💀

@@EdwardRock1 you know this is an edited video right? Lol all responses and questions are not in order. I’d love to see you try though 😂

yes, that made no sense.

🤣🤣

literally best Beaches are close to Mexico, but yeah thats like wtf.

My favorite part was when she was like “ should I play with her”?. And the other girl was like “ Don’t play with meeee” 😁🤣

String of beaches? What's that? I'm from Florida.

But then it would've been easier?

Or an actual Atlanta accent.

@@StaciBlu bruh that would’ve been a dead give away lmfaoo😂

I feel like they needed an Ohio person from southeastern Ohio, which is the Appalachia part, like people used to think I was not from Ohio because of my accent.

@@StaciBlu I still knew the moment she talked she was from Atlanta Ga.

YES! Very well said, I live in Columbus, Ohio (middle of the state, big city), and the way Shalon moved her hands and body is just like how young women my age/her age move here! 8:00 It's pretty formal, I think bc there's still that layer of rural-sort of strictness (?) but it's feet forward, hands held in front of your body, and covering your mouth when you laugh! Seriously all of us do it, especially in situations like this where we meet someone new, no matter how extroverted we are!

@shannonmn8923 I live in Northeast Ohio, and I agree. Living in a part of Ohio that's close to Pennsylvania, I sometimes hear a slight difference just by driving 30 mins across the border

We Californians are friend ❤️

We were more hyper-regional, but there is a loss of regional identity in America as everything is corporatized. I think regional accents will last longest out of somethings. And then America is forcing and projecting its culture across the world, and those nations are losing their identity.

⁠@@shannonmn8923I’m from like southern Ohio an hr away from Cincinnati and an Hour away from Dayton and I kinda find it very fascinating that the girl actually didn’t act like any of the young ladies around here but I could tell she was from Ohio by her accent. it might be were I’m from idk I come from a small village and stuff so it might be that 😭

When she said North Carolina and the two possible pronunciations, I couldn't tell the difference. Sounds the same to a non-native I guess.

@@Carlos-xz5cz Even to a native if they aren’t as perceptive or train their ear. I hear the difference in the two pronunciations. I mentioned in another post that in some parts of the South, people will drag their I’s. What that means is they hold on to the sound a little longer than other regions. It’s hard to explain by writing it phonetically. Fun Fact- North Carolina is the most accent diverse state in the USA. One group known as the High Tiders are frequently confused for being British. They pronounce I’s like two syllables so tide sounds like toid ❤

For sure 😅

Why not big tomate

Untie your shoes?

@@johnd5931 the way she pronounced "auntie"... I just spelled it phonetically, the way she said it. Very Atlanta pronunciation.

They say NY is Broadway, LA is movies and ATL is TV... But idk about the LA one

I’m not so sure. All blacks in the south pronounce Auntie like that…from NC to MS.

This video had me tripping... I was like "either they got a whole crew of Koreaboos on set, or something is up" lmaoooo bc "fighting!" and the white girl from Ohio saying "annyeonghaseyo" LMAOOOO!

They don't need to move to Korea for that. You can have neutral "American newscaster" sounding accents in all 50 states. Not everyone in every state has a heavy regional giveaway accent.

bro why did you know they live in Korea now?

@@realmadridworld1688 frrrr I’m only one minute in and I said out loud: why she speak like she talking to a korean

@@Andy-tk7fh channel's based in korea

I’m from Georgia and it’s true Trees are very popular here lol.

nah shes right though

@@alex-iana8366Seconded hahahahaha. Fun fact. Atlanta has a lesser known nickname: "The City of Trees".

guess where i a fro?

That killed me. Lol

​@@justinrosenthal4000 Boston has about 6 distinct accents. But, I only know the Southy (Matt Damon) and the Boston Brahmin (the Kennedys). I agree with what you said.

Yes. If you were to study the differences between the southern accents, you would discover that there are so many southern accents.

frr they all sound the same to me 😭

Well guess what this video is for Americans so no one cares about what you want

Southern accents sound ignorant. 😂

100% annoying

Thanks! 🫰🏽 I agree, so much energy! Like, why is she so happy?! She's so annoying....😂

Cat lady for sure.

@@jsphat81 😼

Agreed, however she definitely doesn't have an Atlanta accent like not even a little bit

I find it difficult to hear. None of their accents are particularly strong.

it ain't only about the english, dude. British or Australian wouldn't have distinguished them either

I'm fluent in English and even I can't hear the difference in their accents lol it's completely negligible

For what it's worth, as far as this native speaker can tell, Shannon has a very light accent that only is "hearable" on certain words, and the rest of them don't have a detectable accent at all.

I'm guessing that because everyone here teaches English overseas/travels a lot that their accents have normalized tremendously compared to people who never leave the state in which they were born. Even having traveled both coasts a lot for work these are not what I think of when I remember accents from the locations I'd been too.

That's a really good one.

true

The Ian guy doesn't even sound American any more. He must have lived in Korea for a very long time.

@@Ivan-fm4eh at the beginning he sounded abit british to me but when he started talking more and more his American accent was clearer .

Really? I can hear a difference.

I'm American and same. The most distinguishing accents in the US are Southern/Texas and certain East Coast cities... But even people from those places often don't have a strong accent depending on where or how they were brought up. I know there's ways to tell based on pronunciation shifts of specific words and other hints.

Visit the US.

😂😂😂 I’m glad somebody else noticed that

Atlanta is a US city not a US state.

@@marydavis5234 right!!!? It’s like people thinking Chicago or Vegas are states.

😂🎉 Atlanta, officially, is a US State now😂😂

@@marydavis5234 Atlanta is a state of being lol

People all over the US talk like that though. I live in Pennsylvania and people talk the same way. There isn't really a distinct "California" accent as most people just talk like anyone else in the US

@@EonServoXA You have to be from California to hear the difference. I'm sure it sounds familiar, but if you're not from the area, you won't hear it.

@@EonServoXAthere’s definitely a difference. the California accent has spread due to TV but if you’re native to California, you can hear it.

Yeah, but just the fact that some people wear them at all could give the lady an idea. There are other places where those are seen as complete jokes.

Right!? Cowboy hats aren't really a thing in most southern states unless you live or work on a farm.

I submit cowboy hats are not all that common in NC.

@@alukuhito My point is that they are not stereotypical of the state. If you were to ask people in which states people wear them, they wouldn't say NC. They'd likely say Texas first, and then likely Wyoming, Montana, Oklahoma, and other states where ranching is a way of life. That doesn't exist in NC.

Lmao I was just saying this to myself. Cowboy hats are a Texas things. In North Carolina it’s about basketball, BBQ, moonshine, NASCAR and fishing

Truth! I'm basically from the southern tip of NJ, and I tend to pronounce crayon as crown

I can't help it~~😂🐱

As an American, I thought she seemed sort of... hyper 😅

She was putting on an act being a bit of a caricature... Cuz she's an actor seems sweet tho

It's trueee, I was a bit more extra than usual😂 Thank You for watching!🎉

I’m guessing your stereotypes are based on movies. As an American, she came across to me as “acting” and playing it up a bit in an attempt to through Hunter off. I can tell she is fun. 😂

agree

I need ian in my life. Does he have social media

Same! Im glad it was Hunter and not me😂

@@cupidok2768 😂😂 shoot your shot.

@@anndeecosita3586 not english

You must not be from here

Atlanta‘s accent is different from the typical Georgia accent. But then again North Georgia had that harsher feel more r heavy accent. than the typical tidewater southern with South Georgia has. Atlanta has a very mixed accent (if you’re from there when she said AUNTIE that’s a dead giveaway. And I’m from the outer metro OTP) and grew up here so I instantly noticed when she gave the cues. It also she hid he accent well.)

Her name is Chelsea 's soccer team:))

She has a atlanta accent?

Yay🎉It was fun!! Haha I do have an accent with certain words, but not normally due to my profession(s)~

Acknowledging each other's greatness😂🎉

New York is known as "the big apple"

It was always bugging me which famous person she reminds me of when i look at her, but then i realized it's Elizabeth Olsen, only her face is more gaunt and longer in general and more gaunt kess round...but her eyes look a lot like Olsen's!

The ugly tattoos are ruining her looks.

and columbus has a neutral midland accent

Yeah, I've family between Toledo and Dayton and have really noticed accents from several of my aunts that are different from central Ohio.

Ya I knew too but it was a give away too for me because it also isn't far from my city and I've seen it but NEVER been inside of the Neil Armstrong place

Totally! To me he sounded Midwest and the Atl chick sounded Cali.

Which one?

I guess there's not a "standard" Miamian accent.

I'm from around where the girl is from and tbh I found that I have a light southern draw but its with certain words and I do say y'all a lot but I think it's just because cincy is so close to Kentucky southwest Ohio has a little bit of southern culture added in the mix. But I was able to to pickup on her being from ohio real easy

The moment she said Neil Armstrong it was easy

I'm from NE, Ohio, and I have a similar perspective. Cleveland has its own accent, but many people up here moved from down south for the steel factories. We're also super close to PA, so we have a hint of that.

Same

😂😂

Yay~🫰🏽💜

Or BBQ? The second she said beaches and BBQ I knew it was North Carolina. Her accent was very very faint but I caught South right away.

She’s cornbread fed

She is :)New Yorkers also smart :)

Yeah, she did really well (Is "really" a Wisconsin tell? I suppose a person should say "very"). It gets tougher when people are better educated. Americans tend to use a flatter accent around strangers, and then resort to the local speak around familiar people. We definitely say "ant" here, the other way sounds British RP to us.

@@EddieReischl Since moving to the Midwest I have noticed a lot of people elongate their O’s more than I’m used to hearing. I even catch myself doing this sometimes now because accent are contagious.😂 It’s hard to explain in writing but I will try. Go sounds like goah and both like boath. German influence maybe? Some places it’s thicker than others. Then around Chicago and Cleveland I noticed a difference with the As. Both seen flatter and more drawn out but in different ways. I met a Youper from MI and thought he was an immigrant from some Scandinavian country not American. I have a few friends from places like Minnesota and Southern Louisiana who have worked to lessen their regional accents but it comes out in certain words or when then they are extremely excited or upset. I think what outsiders may not realize is your accent can affect how people treat you especially outside of your local area. I have a brilliant friend who owns an investment firm, but because he has a thick Southern drawl when he travels, people treat him like he’s an idiot. Some accents are considered lower class. I think that is the case in England as well. In the South there is a tendency to make one syllable words sound like two help is he yulp. I’s are elongated. Niiight Riight Fiiight. I also think shortened versions of speaking are becoming more popular. I’m going to yielded I’m gonna yielded Imma. I hear highly educated people saying Imma nowadays.

The one in red is super hot though.

I agree. I didn't at all. They all pretty much sounded like each other. And I've lived all over. Atlanta has so many northerners living there, there is no accent really.

There's more to California than just LA and the Bay

Yeah! Also 6:53 is that slang? And what did she say lol Edit: North Cackalacky maybe

@@michaelhawk3861 yea she says North Cackalacky, as someone who has lived in South Carolina, ive heard it few times there as well, from my understanding its a nickname for the Carolinas made to poke fun at the deep southern ways of the 2 states, I guess the Carolinians kinda just liked it and just took it on as a little nickname for themselves

​@michaelhawk3861 yes, that's our slang term for our state "North (Nort') Cackalacky". As a NC person it's a little difficult to go into a full piedmont NC accent anymore because it is dying. Shannon had more of a general "Southern" accent instead of one of the more regionally specific NC accents. Some of my coworkers from the more rural counties still have the Piedmont accent though.

"Elston" (avenue) in Chicago accent sounds like "Austin" said in a German accent. 😂 Lived in Chicago for 8 yrs.

I'm from the northwest suburbs of Chicago. A lot of people from the Chicagoland area have what is called the "northern cities vowel shift," which is also called the inland northern accent. It spans from Upstate New York (and northeast Pennsylvania) all the way to Minnesota. I say CHI-CAH-GO instead of CHI-CAW-GO. I sound just like most of my dad's side of the family. However, my mom is originally from Bloomington, Indiana and doesn't sound Chicagoan, but probably more neutral, I suppose. Some people have a twang south of Indianapolis, which makes sense cause you're closer to Kentucky, and they got a southerm twang for sure. The late actor Dennis Farina is from Chicago and had a thick, nasally Chicagoan accent for sure!

Devon (duh-vhan') avenue in the North Side would be a boy's name (dev'n) in the rest of the US.

Most black people in Illinois have Southern roots. I think the South and the Northeast have tended to hold on the British and Irish English style words and pronunciations more than other regions. In the Northeast I commonly hear white people saying aunt particularly if they are higher class. I have heard Americans say they thought yonder and reckon and fancy (verb) were “Southern words” when they are from British English and still heavily used there. Awnt is the RP pronunciation. I use and prefer this pronunciation. Countries like India which is a former UK colony also use aunt/auntie say it as awnt/awntie. Several Caribbean countries do too.

I was going to mention the northern cities vowel shift as well. The old Chicago accent is pretty rare nowadays. Lots of articles online discussing its demise.

I thought he was from California until he said awnt. That really threw me off since I never heard it pronounced that way growing up there.

@@zacharystockton7087 Me neither--except by outsiders or those growing up in families of outsiders (that is, non-Californians).
