And I ponder, what do you all actually sound like?
finally we have a way of knowing HERRE!

pick your location and thats the accent you apparently have.
Living in a shit hole arseend of nowhere town, My location isnt there, we have belfast, dublin and the closest on the map geographically is:this abomination. Depressingly his silly speech pattern sounds like a few of my cousins with their big cultchie accents. ranchers.

seeing as there is no representation of my wonderful Tyrone/ Donegal hybrid (I don't sound like lucky the leprechaun or brad pitt in snatch, sorry to say) I may record one, but this is unlikely.

Well, I might try onQUICKTIME!?!?!?

TAKE IT FROM MY SIGHT

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

and I didn't make the damned thing, only found it.

Well evidence of that comes from the Xmas Manky Meetup: Dag found me perfectly intelligable, Mezla somewhat less so and Cougar completely baffling. From her perspective we might as well all have been speaking different languages... And we're (to an approximation of 20 or so miles, that is) all from the same place...

If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do. If some one maintains that two and two are five, or that Iceland is on the equator, you feel pity rather than anger, unless you know so little of arithmetic or geography that his opinion shakes your own contrary conviction. … So whenever you find yourself getting angry about a difference of opinion, be on your guard; you will probably find, on examination, that your belief is going beyond what the evidence warrants.

This was really driven by my curiousity to see if other places had such varied accents as yea olde ireland, within 20 miles of my house theres plent yof variance.
I wonder if this carries across the pond in the states

The scottish ones were a bit naff. Only Edinburgh or glasgow to choose from and to be honest, they sounded like they were the wrong way round to me!

Well no-one understands Cougar, but that's a fault of his overwhelming body hair nullifying all the sound leaving his mouth rather than his accent. If someone trimmed him, I'm sure he'd enunciate in perfect Queen's English.

Lots of different accents in the States, although it's easiest to seperate into 4 major sub-classes and go form there: Northeastern, Southern, Midwestern, and Western accents are all different. Inside Northeastern you have the accents of Brooklyn and Boston, which are completely different. A nation of immigrants is going to have a near infinite amount of accents.

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

they only had a single accent for UA
and it was from Kyyiv and from a native Russian-speaker.

I'm from Western UA, which has a diff accent/dialect, so i'm sure i'd reflect on my Eng accent as well

oh, and I concur with illy's sentiment on quicktime, the damn thing wouldnt let me listen to anything.

My accent has really changed over the last few years. I was afraid I might lose my Mank-ness for a time. My mother thinks I am really well-spoken while my southern friends think I talk like a pit working, whippet walking, mucky commoner. My Salford accent means I was originally Mank with a slight hint of Scouse (to my eternal shame), my years living with southerners got me enunciating marginally more clearly and yokel Welshboy Mr PigDog has given me the occasional twang and a few choice phrases from south Wales. Since I moved back up to Manchester, my Mank-ness has come back with quite some force. I especially enjoy using the word "Ta" again without getting confused looks

I all fairness you western yahoos would be the ones to say "aboot".

I'm surpised at the lack of regional dialects for Canada, though I am pleased to see that they got Toronto's accent down perfect, the guy sounds like a robot.

I've got so many different and contradicting comments on my accent that basicly until I encounter a phoneticist I won't be sure.
