    My grandma is Filipino. Everytime she'd tell us we were having fish for dinner, I'd cringe.
  • After a few attempts, and some weird faces from my fiance, this is what I've come up with. 

    First time actually posting anything like this, so I hope if helps for your benefits! 


    Also,
    @Moirean - Filipino food is honestly amazing, how could you cringe?!

    @Kaleigh: It seems to be something wrong with the link. Perhaps it didn't save properly?

    I think you'll be disappointed re: 'common phrase', all the stereotypes the world knows about here are wayyyyyy outdated. Hell, the kids don't even say 'mate' a lot of the time. Let alone bloke, shiela, crikey, strewth.

    If you don't mind the example being completely archaic, though, I could make you a short paragraph that's damnear a cipher thanks to all the slang.

    Alright Ay

    How ya doing ay

    Is that tonight ay?

  • Hey, I found this while perusing through Pinterest. 


    Not sure if it would help you or not.

    Some notes:
    -Proper Australianism is only achieved when one has a mate named Dave.
    -My accent isn't terribly exaggerated. A lot of people I meet think I'm from the city, if not from overseas somewhere.
    -The phrase at the end is "Fair crack of the whip, mate". I picked it because it's a pretty good example of how Australians cram all the words together in a sentence.


    I can put on a Condo accent if you want the extreme Australian-ness. Just let me know.

    Extreme Australian would be awesome, Eleanor!

    Sorry, I know I'm a week late here!

    I can help out if you still need someone with a very neutral American accent. I've lived in Texas for a rather massive portion of my life, so I could probably supply Texanisms without the typical southern twang.

    Of course I'd appreciate the help, @Lin! Thank you!

    Also, if you know anyone with other English accents, I'd appreciate it if you point them in this direction. Right now I have one Australian, one Canadian and plenty of Americans (2 southeast, 2 west coast, 1 Ohio).

    @Llok, if you can do a Welsh accent, please please please please. I'd really appreciate it!

    @Areka, @Missari, did you still want to help with the more central areas of the US?

    @Benedicto: need your Britishness to balance up the States!

    Yes! Just been fighting with my mic, I'll try recording and vocaroo will say no sound found.

    Max welsh and then semi-understandable welsh.

    English-version Welsh, so not real Welsh, with with the proper sing-song intonation that comes with it. Well, you can do real Welsh, just for me, I'd appreciate that a lot too. *grin*

    Alright, I know you have several from the SE US, but I'm throwing mine in as well. My accent is from Eastern North Carolina with a mix of Southeastern Virginia (this is why it's not -really- southern sometimes) and a little Central South Carolina:


    My accent words: anything that ends with thing, -ive words, y'all/ya, most -ore words, majority of numbers (auctioneer habit).

    Here is a North-eastern Northern Irish accent. I have lived in Australia a long time so my accent is a bit off!! I hope it helps you out still.

    It doesn't, @Rilou! I love it. :)
    And thanks for helping out!

    You guys are awesome, but you already know that, right?

    I'm having a good time compiling all of these things into some smaller bits so I can present it in a good way to my students. It's hilarious and I feel like I have the best job in the world right now. :D

    Please keep the voice clips coming!



  • Teani: Do you want some of that Pittsburghese? I hate the dialectic speak here but I can likely muscle through a sampling of it if you want.

  • TeaniTeani Shadow Mistress Sweden
    @Xavin: Please do! Exaggerate as much as you can to make it really awful. :P



  • Oh god. Alright, it might take a couple days for me to get to it. But I'll see what I can do.

  • I lived an hour or two from the Canadian border for five years and I'm told there a few commonalities between the way I say things and the way Quebecians say things. I'm not sure if that'll really help you with the Canadian accent, though.

    I'd love one more from that region! Need it soon though, so I can compile everything properly for the lessons. Thanks!
