Pronunciations

[Kalevala]

Someone telling me they like my accent is always baffling. I think I sound very plain, while just about EVERY other accent sounds very interesting and has its own character. I suppose everyone likely feels this way, though.


I'm not sure how I would describe it. Anglo-Canadian with hints of the New England/Bostonian accent maybe, since I live in what is essentially the New England area of Canada just an hour or so from Maine.


That being said, even "Anglo-Canadian" can mean many very different things. There are increased hints of Irish/Scottish on the east coast. I know people as near as Ontario who think Maritimers sound ridiculous.


This is a pretty good example of how thick the accent can get. NSFW for some pretty vulgar language
