Can you guys tell me about different accents in your country, or better yet, post a map so I can visualize where they are?And I want to be very clear, I do NOT mean dialects or languages. Yes I know they influence accents greatly but then it never includes different accents of native speakers of the national language.For example, I wanted to know which parts of Russia and Poland sounded different, but all the maps just show where minority languages are, or show dialects based on vocabulary and stuff.I just mean accents where if people read the same exact few sentences and they clearly pronounce words different, not where they replace them with something else. because multiple places speaking the same dialect of a language can sound different
>>221201900Sure
>>221201900(This says "dialects" but they're really accents)

>>221202215this is greatas a westerner its also nice that this actually shows there's few distinct accents on this side of the country, except for the pronunciation of a few words.Youtube videos always try to make it look like every state and city within that state sounds different
>>221202302Yeah, I've even seen people arguing that there's an "Inland Empire accent" distinct from that of LA (lol, lmao even).
>>221202349everyone says this about their place outside the big cities, but I've been around every state in this entire half of the country and I think I know what's going on here.The more "country" areas, even if they are cities like Bakersfield, Pocatello, Greeley, etc. can slightly sound like Mater/Larry the cable guy. Not that crazy exaggerated but slightly.And if you only travel between your agricultural hub to a larger city you either think they have an accent or you have an accent, however they only apply it to those two places. So now you have people in Oregon saying there's a Portland accent vs a Bend one, when broadly its just more of a cityfag & hick divide
Coloured lines are the lines between (sub)dialects (all of them have some unique things when it comes to pronunciation and grammar)Black lines:——— the stress is universally pulled back— — — the stress is conditionally pulled back– – – – – the stress is near-universally pulled back- - - - - - - line of where l (L) is always pronounced hard------------ southern line where certain soft consonants are avoided............... Extent of By-the-sea Samogitian

>>221202215>florida and the midwest have the same accenthuh?
>>221207873Florida is a state of endless transplants
>>221201900There's the generic Cairene dialect and all its offshoots (Alexandrene is Cairo but gay) that most media, films, politics, etc is done and the Southern Sa'idi dialect. Speakers of the former often shit on the latter because it's associated with low status poor farmer churls. The latter associate Cairene speakers with metrosexual borderline faggotry.I speak a mixture of both and constantly get shit for my pronunciation of ج as /ʒ/ instead of /g/ even though it's the correct pronunciation ;(
>>221201900People north of Zagreb and those in Dalmatia between Zadar and Split have the most distinct accents that most people can recognize.People from most of orange on the map stretch out word endings to various degrees and because of it they are also fairly easy to recognize - the standard language is based on their dialect but it's proper pronunciation that's used by TV reporters doesn't use their accents.
russian doesn't really have accents, the main difference is northerners pronounce unstressed Os as O, whereas the rest pronounce them as Ahs
