Can hear it in petite's voice. Hey, when I've been in the U.S. (northeast) for over a wk., my voice actually starts to absorb /imitate the local. It is natural...probably because English is my 2nd language and ….lst language is a Chinese dialect that's tonal. So maybe it's instinctual...the voice inflection imitation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomguy Posted May 23, 2020 Share #6 Posted May 23, 2020 There is an old song by an obscure English band in the learly '80's called "Everybody Wants to Be American". Lemme see if I can find it... Found it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised by your voice. It didn’t sound Chinese or even Canadian. I expected a strong accent but you have a very nice voice that would fit in anywhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisL Posted May 23, 2020 Share #19 Posted May 23, 2020 This topic actually made me think, what does an American sound like? A Texan sounds differently from a Bostonian, a Minnesotan to a Southerner and then there are us Spicoli speaking Californians... I know some parts of Canada speak French but do all English speaking Kanucks sound alike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also have a great reputation for being friendly. I'm certain Zephyr will speak up here ... This music is takes off from that region of Canada below. I dunno about other Canucks...but I can't detect accent any differences for provinces including and between British Columbia and Ontario. Maybe I have to go into the rural areas.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Like everywhere, there are regional accents and almost dialect. Northern communities tend to develop their own nuance. Rather than "How are you?" , it is common to hear "How are yous?" Or "Yous guys." French varies quite a bit and the Maritimes have several accents. It isn't difficult to tell where someone is from if you have spent time there.

The difference to me, is a vacation home in B.C., local refer to cabin (or chalet if enough money), and maybe in Alberta. In Alberta people love to talk about owning "acreage". In Ontario it's a cottage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
