Hush you.. you haven't heard me when I am home.. I sound like a cross between a Newfie and a Cape Bretoner..

Now now, don't be hating on the Cape Bretoners!

I worked really hard on not having an accent though, I hated people calling me a Newfie when I lived in TO, not that there's anything wrong with Newfies but they thought anything east was all Newfoundland and it bugged me.

Oh I wasn't hating trust me.. Islander accent is similar too.. ... When I lived home full time I never had one cept on a very few words.. When I got home I kinda took on my mom's accent and she has a strong assed one.. My dad did too.

this is being done on another board im on, except we're using a different site where we dont have to sign up and we're reading a paragraph that has all of the sounds common to the English language, so its good for identifying accents.

go here and read the "call stella" paragraph
http://accent.gmu.edu/browse_language.php?function=detail&speakerid=145

record here (no signing up required)

It's funny how we pick it up right away once we're around it again. I still swing right into a "Boston" accent when around my family from there.

Hahaha...yeah...I sound exactly like that!

When I first moved to Cape Breton I entered grade 5..I was sooooo shy. A few kids would always bug me to "talk Boston", I got to a point that I wouldn't talk at all...until about grade 7 and I came out of my shell, lol, I bet lots wish I was still in it!

I have friends that visit from the rock when I am with them.. I sound like I was born and bred there when I hang out with them...

Now when I drink my PEI roots come flying out..
