Who here likes accents? I know I do. Who here has an accent? The answer should be everybody, but it's okay. I forgive you if you happen to be completely neutral in every aspect of speech.

I have noticed a disturbing trend in threads about accents in the past. People seem to talk about the nasality, or roughness, or softness of an accent, but don't seem to know what that means. It's all subjective in SPPf. I hope I can do a little to change that.

So here's a few exercises that can give a bit more concrete of an idea of what people here actually sound like.
1. buck – book
2. have – halve
3. can (able to) – can (container)
4. cot – caught
5. court – caught
6. don – dawn
7. balm – bomb
8. arm – alm
9. paw – pa
10. merry – marry - Mary
11. serious – Sirius
12. horse – hoarse
13. way – weigh
14. whine – wine
15. ate – hate
16. pour – poor
17. duke – juke
18. pen – pin
19. dew – do
20. chute – shoot
21. thin – fin
22. den – then
23. thin – tin
24. pass – path
25. beer – bear
26. ladder – latter
27. writer – rider
28. wrap – rap
29. Rosa’s – roses
30. cot – cart
40. panda – pander
41. fill – feel
42. pull – pool
43. bowl – bull
44. hull – hole
45. real – reel
46. fisher – fissure
47. salary - celery
48. fir - fur
49. tire - tower
50. turn - tern
51. room - rum
1. bother – father
2. soot – root
3. bad – lad
4. gaffe – staff
5. keg – vague
7. thin – then
8. hurry – furry
9. rabbit – abbot
10. kit – bit
Is the vowel in "sing" closer to the one in "sin" or "seen"?
Is the vowel in "bang" closer to the one in "back" or "bake"?
Is the vowel in "on" closer to the one in "don" or "dawn"?
Do you more frequently end "running" with -ing or -in'?

If anybody is willing to post a video or a sound clip that provides a good sample of their accent, it would be appreciated. I'll add to this post so other people can have a good listen.

Here's what I personally have:
1. buck – book
2. have – halve
3. can (able to) – can (container)
4. cot – caught
5. court – caught
6. don – dawn
7. balm – bomb
8. arm – alm
9. paw – pa
10. merry – marry - Mary
11. serious – Sirius
12. horse – hoarse
13. way – weigh
14. whine – wine
15. ate – hate
16. pour – poor
17. duke – juke
18. pen – pin (this pair I'm not entirely sure on - I know people who do and do not distinguish them in my area)
19. dew – do
20. chute – shoot
21. thin – fin
22. den – then
23. thin – tin
24. pass – path
25. beer – bear
26. ladder – latter
27. writer – rider
28. wrap – rap
29. Rosa’s – roses
30. cot – cart
40. panda – pander
41. fill – feel (only in fast speech)
42. pull – pool
43. bowl – bull (another one I'm not sure on)
44. hull – hole (see above)
45. real – reel (real can sound like either rill or reel)
46. fisher – fissure
47. salary - celery
48. fir - fur
49. tire - tower
50. turn - tern
51. room - rum
1. bother – father
2. soot – root (root can rhyme with soot or boot)
3. bad – lad
4. gaffe – staff
5. keg – vague
7. thin – then (if I'm correct about pen-pin)
8. hurry – furry
9. rabbit – abbot
10. kit – bit
Sing is like seen.
Bang is like bake.
Don and dawn sound the same, so on sounds like both of them.
In casual speech I usually go with -in'.

Also of note for me is that plague can rhyme with peg, and leg and egg can rhyme with vague.

This thread isn't really for you if you're the TL;DR type.

Is the vowel in "sing" closer to the one in "sin" or "seen"?
Is the vowel in "bang" closer to the one in "back" or "bake"?
Is the vowel in "on" closer to the one in "don" or "dawn"? -Both apply equally, since I say them just the same.
Do you more frequently end "running" with -ing or -in'?

Running is different from most words, but I do usually end words like that with "-in'" in casual conversation.

I'm a southern girl and while my accent's subtle, listen to me talk enough and you can definitely tell. It's there.

*The verb "can" is a homophone with the noun "can" when it comes at the end of a sentence. Otherwise I pronounce it like "kin."

"Sing" is closer to "seen."
"Bang" is closer to "bake."
"Don" and "dawn" sound the same.
I usually end it in -ing.

Quick note, Rose's-roses was a typo. Should be Rosa's-roses.

I also only have the verb can the same as the noun can when it's stressed. Some accents distinguish them in every situation.

@Profesco, for Mary-marry-merry, it's possible for them to all be distinct, for two to merge and leave one distinct, or for all three to merge.
 
Wisconsin accent, best accent.

Bold is yes, italics are "kind of sort of maybe depending on how I emphasize things?"

Bolded represents my answer choices and what are homophones, and italics represent what rhyme.


Edit: Don't know why it didn't italisize, so I'll bold instead.

Is the vowel in "sing" closer to the one in "sin" or "seen"? Seen.
Is the vowel in "bang" closer to the one in "back" or "bake"? Bake
Is the vowel in "on" closer to the one in "don" or "dawn"? It's the same both ways.
Do you more frequently end "running" with -ing or -in'? Ing, I try to enunciate.

I've lived in Southern California my whole life so my accent isn't nearly as defined as an accent from another region. This is mostly because California is such a relatively young state compared to some of the other states up north and on the east coast. There hasn't been enough time to develop an instantly recognizable syntax. Unless of course you're from the valley....

Sing is like seen.
Bang is like bake.
Don and dawn sound the same, so on sounds like both of them.
In casual speech I usually go with -in'.

Do you more frequently end "running" with -ing or -in'?

Bold indicates yes/that one

buck - book

court - caught
arm - alm
horse - hoarse
way - weigh
whine - wine
pour - poor
chute - shoot
wrap - rap
Rosa's - roses
panda - pander
real - reel
fisher - fissure

bad - lad
gaffe - staff
kit - bit

The vowel in "sing" is closer to the vowel in "sin".
The vowel in "bang" is closer to the vowel in "back".
The vowel in "on" is closer to the vowel in "don".
I end "running" with -ing more often, although I do use -in sometimes. It depends how quickly I'm speaking, how measured I'm being and who I'm speaking to.

So yeah. One thing I didn't notice on the lists was the pronuncation of "bath" as "barth" and so on, so I thought I'd mention it. I don't do it.

I'm from North West England, so you all know. Near Liverpool, specifically. I don't sound especially Scouse, but I imagine people from other areas of the country might think I do.

@ R. New - I included the staff-gaffe rhyme as an unambiguous way of figuring out if people say bath or bahth (I'm American, so I prefer ah over ar to represent that sound). If staff and gaffe rhyme, bath typically remains as it historically was.

@TurtwigFan1 - The point of this thread is to show that you do, in fact, have just as much of an accent as anyone else. It's just a matter of whether or not your accent is well known.

EDIT: added salary - celery to the list.

I get what you mean - but the thing is, that the way I speak doesn't fit into any real accent. It's sort of an amalgamation of lots of different accents to form this weird, 'unplace-able' accent.

One thing that always baffles me is where did accents come from? Why did people start having different accents?

Eh, I'm from FL but moved to NC at an early age so I'm not sure how much of an accent I have.


@Juputoru- A lot of Southern people do it.
