Not nearly enough accents for South Africa. 11 national languages, each of which has it's own regional variance and effect on english means we get some pretty crazy accents

They don't have my accent because there is no slurring.

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....

I'm disappointed by the lack of Canadian dialects offered. Most of the East Coast has different accents, while personally I think West of Ontario sounds all the same.

Does anyone else have a different accent in their inner-monologue? Mine quite regularly slips into Jane Austen-esque Georgian English...... Maybe I am schizophrenic with one personality as a common Mancunian and the other an English minor aristocrat lady circa. 1800!

Occasionally my inner thoughts might have a different accent (was especially true while in French Immersion) but it's not a constant thing...

I'm not installing Quicktime, it keeps trying to throw iTunes on my computer which is just not happening. Either way I doubt either of those Florida flags sounds anything like me, if I had to guess the northern flag will sound southern and the southern one will be in spanish. I actually have no accent at all, I just speak english.

So last night I was walking downtown for some pizza at like 1am with some friends of mine,
and someone said, "I'm so hungry I could eat a whole pizza."

I said, "I bet I could eat 100 pizzas," and no one understood me. I was sad.

I agree... no English speaking guy from Montreal on there...WTF?

The Nova Scotia sample is not accurate, either.

I have varying voices as well as inner monolgues, thanks to my attending a very middle class selective school, and then going off to uni and living with people from Oxfordshire (including my gf who speaks so correctly it makes me wince at times). So I veer between quite well spoken and common as a mucky chav, and my normal voice drops somewhere between the two, changing depending on the company. Although not enough evidently, as my family mock me for sounding posh, and people at uni think I sound like an irksome chimney sweep. So you cant win. Although I approve of your subconscious trying to make you dislodge your inner manc accent and talk like a posh southerner, it's a positive sign.

For a proper Oxon accent...............add "Me Duck" to the end of each sentence

hmm, I think in three different languages depending on the setting.
but my thinking English is same as my spoken English, so I think it's same accent.

Verily I must heartily protest, Master Toblerone! I believe my other personality is from a family of landed gentry in the north of the England. Indeed it means I am somewhat distant from the society of London but I reside with my sophisticated southern cousins in Kent for the social season.

Really, as far as I've heard, no one can pinpoint where I'm from becaue I have no distinction in my voice. The best they can do is say I'm from America.

We should pick a generic sentence and then everyone type out how they'd pronounce it whilst speaking normally. For instance, I'd say the word "hospital" something like "oss-pih-awl". I speak with what I think are called glottal stops and dark L's.
