    For good or bad, you Greek folks could never speak any other language without putting your own accent in it. The Spanish amigos too.
    Yeah, I guess that's true. :D

    I have moved around a lot, so i dont really have a noticeable accent
    You do have a British accent though, or maybe an Australian, American, or Chinese accent. There's no escaping it; the only way to have no accent is to be mute (as Jarvey said).

    i have a derby/notts accent. But it's not strong at all - i do tend to talk in an accent when i'm with family but everyone else i usually speak quite plain. My bf is from the south and he sometimes mocks certain words that i say with my twang.

    I have a southern accent with a london-overflow hint.

    Basically, I had a buckinghamshire accent until I moved to Milton Keynes as a tween and grew up with people saying 'grarse' and 'barth' yet 'wor-ah' for 'water' and 'miwl-on' instead of 'milton' :(

    I miss my bucks accent. Now I sound common :sour:

    Milton Keynes accent is a mix of most other accents in the uk, particularly from the south.

    I probably have a southern accent, never been mocked for it so though, so it's probably not that broad. generic bbc British accent perhaps.

    I live on the border so you could say it's a mixture between a southern and northern Irish accent. Basically I sound like a newry nyuck. Only a few posters here know what that sounds like.

    I tend to say "like" or "ba" at the end of my sentences. Either that or I just shout at them, FUCK YE'S! I'm away to my bed. :wave:

    the vienna-accent is dying out. Pretty sterile kind of speaking.

    Southern, I've been told that I pronounce certain words posh, ok most of my vocab. posh, but I don't agree with that! I think I'm just a normal Southerner tbh :)

    I've got a Geordie-Irish-Scottish mongrel accent. People often comment on it - usually in bewilderment :thumb:

    I speak standard Australian...none of that broad "croc dundee" crap.
    Just spent 3 years in the States so I've also got a west coast twang.
    Linguistically I'm all kinds of fucked up.
    Sounds hilarious though.
