What does American English sound like to Brits?

>glottal stops

Fugg, so it’s not just me, I always noticed they speak making micro-pauses.

Yanks all sound like benders, sorry

>Does it sound slower or faster than you're used to?

Slower?
I don't think that'd be the case at all, specially if we're considering Londoner accents.

Londoners tend to be pretty "lazy" when speaking.

You realize there is no single “American” accent, right?

>They got that from the Danes.
No we didn't.
If we did then you would have it too

>Their pronunciations of words has been butchered over generations
There is no proper way to speak English, this isn’t France. And if there was, it certainly wouldn’t be an accent that omits half the letters of a given word and every instance of the letter R.

>wa-er

it does not sound like that at all.
It may in some areas but the most common is actually wɔː.tə

There IS a T sound there.
It's different from, say

>Have you asked him yet?
Where most Brits (specially Londoners)
will say something liek
>'Ave you ast 'im yet?

contrarian here but generally a fan of american voices
most of them are a bit slower though

American English sounds too nasal for my taste.

To me most of the time unless they've got that southern drawl it sounds really nasally and whiny like they're talking out of their nose.

There isn’t exactly a T sound, it’s actually just that the end of the A sound and the start of the E sound come together to sound vaguely like the T sound

>Does it sound smarter? Or more masculine maybe?

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

They really don't like our accents. Or our culture. Or really anything about us, they're constantly complaining about us. Doesn't stop them from watching our movies, listening to our music, or obsessively following our celebrities though, which I find a bit odd.

wɔː.tə

That’s not actually how the average Bong pronounce “water”, though.

It is, stop saying it isn't when you don't know what you're talking about.

There are different ways to pronounce and that's definitely one of the most common ways.

>different ways to pronounce

It really isn't that deep, you're fine.

I was in a corner shop in Glasgow several years back while on business and a very inebriated local went off on me abut how America has no culture. He was wearing a long sleeve t-shirt with a picture of Elvis on it.

I'm 24 and not once in my life have I ever heard someone say this.

I refuse to be that lazy. I fucking hate when people say it like that.

I never said there was.

I'm saying that the old American accents that sound more British are completely gone now ever since the radio was introduced. This caused most, if not all Americans to speak with a rhotic accent over time.

All of the macho regional accents and dialects America has had have simply faded away for the most part. First it was radio, then it was TV which caused the widespread use of non-regional dictation, trained to be used on television by reporters.
The non-regional dictation is a general American accent, which is a way of speaking (among Americans) that lacks any distinct regional or ethnic characteristics.

Now with the normalisation of the Internet in our every day lives, more so than TV and Radio we will see more and more rural American accents go away, as well as accents around the world in general since children and teenagers are picking it up.

It may sound hard to believe for some people but accents around the world are becoming Americanised, in areas with large and dense populations.

Still being butchered, chief.
You have ebonics rolling in and taking the stage by storm in American media, good luck.

Some American accents are alright, generally the older they are the better

This.

>it’s a bunch yuros pretend like the entirety of the United States speaks with one homogenous accent episode

There's way too many accents and dialects but in general I think American English sounds a bit slower and more masculine. Midwest American English sounds fucking hilarious, though.

yanks, post some vocaroos for me

>aeroplane

glad this is going away for good

Everyone still pronounce it like aeroplane but now you have a lot of people write it like airplane.

he doesn't, she doesn't, it doesn't

no one likes this accent

despise american accents

except for southern accents like kentucky, lousiana, texas and similar ones
also some northern ones like minnesota or the dakotas, so actually i guess some are kind of nice but most really are vile

>our movies
as if hollywood isn't full of british, australian, european talent, then the films are usually filmed in other countries too
>our music
not really, the only thing you have over the rest of the world is nigrap
>our celebrities
yeah not really

>things that never happened

Glottal stops are an intrinsic part of the Danish language and Danish was hugely influential on English.

American retardation in the form of visual and auditory arts has been plagued throughout the media around the world. People in all western nations are losing their grip on their own culture.
People are extremely susceptible to this, it's pretty much brainwashing.

If you had people of all cultures go for their first 30 years or so without American media and then be exposed to it, I guarantee most cunts would hate it.

Most people mop it up nowadays and are blinded by how shitty it is, at that point I'm not sure what or who to dislike more, American media or the people consuming it.

>Midwest American English
like where? Much of the Midwest accent is kinda "accentless" to us. Except for the Scandi descendents who live in the Dakotas and Minnesota.

It's the trade off for being a English country.

it sounds articulate so you can understand them easily. it sounds really nasally sometimes, especially when they have to make a 'a' sound like in 'grass' or 'and'. new york and kentucky accents are the best accents.

>women talk is enraging
I'm not too fond of coastal state female accents in America either. Another thing that bothers me is how California English is somehow more influential around the world than it should be (especially with women).

We pronounce the football team 'seltik' in Scotland. But 'keltik' in all other contexts.

yeah, the worst is when they say and like "EEEEEEeeand" with a screeching rising inflection

southern accents in general are all GOAT tier
if you're a yank who doesn't have a southern accent, i'm sorry to tell you this but you're kind of fucked.

If Americans worked on their enunciation it would be a better imo, so many mush mouths over here that cant't be bothered to move their mouths and lips properly. And our women have picked up this throaty vocal fry thing which is atrocious
youtu.be/UuAQsnAVoMw

That's only a few region's most pronounce it. And I've heard plenty of American accents like that, that talking about Great Bri'in

What is this accent?

Mongrelised bush meat sounding accent, fucked if I know, cobber.

@2:05 Too me it sounds like a hybrid London/Californian accent.

Coastal North Carolina accent sounds like Canadians 300 years ago

>0:37-0:56
Don't know what the fuck they even said to each other.

Holy shit you are retarded.
Rhoticity was in English during the first colonial era.
American English pronunciation is literally closer to what British English was in the 18th century than British English now.

Godie m8

Yeah I already knew this, lower class brits spoke with a rhotic accent though, top dogs spoke without one.
When America was colonised though it pretty much became the opposite, lower class regions spoke with a non rhotic accent.

i don't know where exactly, but probably very middle class person from the south east.
people from there sound exactly like americans sometimes and it's only beginning. the internet has allowed american media to flood our country even more than before. kids these days grow up watching yanks on youtube, i wouldn't be surprised if future generations had full american accents.

i don't think so lad
so you have one aspect of your accent associated with old english accents. so what?

>map shows most of britain was non-rhotic back then and still is now
woww

English has been changed by both Americans and Brits, but ever since America became independent they decided to change it drastically in protest essentially.
Still mongrelised more than traditional English whether it's rhotic or not.

Semi related, should look into this, this bloke mentions a lot of changes American English has taken on.

>American English pronunciation is literally closer to what British English was in the 18th century than British English now.
absolute bullshit

english accents like geordie and yorkshire are far closer to what old english sounded like because they've retained massive germanic influence, from old norse and old english itself

at the end of the 1800s non-rhotic accents were common throughout much of the Eastern U.S. and through much of the South along the Gulf Coast. In fact, non-rhotic accents were established in all major U.S. cities along the Atlantic coast except for the Delaware Valley area around Philadelphia and Baltimore. This trend reversed during the early to mid-1900s.

What ye think of as "mirror" probably soundeth like "meer" to the English. The second syllable is barely audible when spoken quickly and casually. At least, that is true for my speech.
Me thinketh that the secod syllable be more pronounced in English- "mee-rah".

American English became real English after WW2.

Pigs arse, mate.

Shit sounded way more chad pre WW2 and was closer to the real deal..
youtube.com/watch?v=ufoUtoQLGQY

The slightly less cultivated accent of this accent spoken by average Americans in the eastern states is chad tier.

>all these Brits saying they prefer southern accents
*cringe*
Southern drawls are incomprehensible half the time, especially if it's a very thick accent. They all sound like they've got marbles in their mouth. Makes sense though, since really thick Brit accents are as equally incomprehensible. Same goes for Australians. Ironic that the one nation that rebelled against the Crown/Commonwealth has a better grasp of the English language than all the rest that stayed.

.t Feminist Cali accent sounding pooftah.

weak as piss, lad, get some hairs on ya chest.

No. Stop.

Can you say that again in English?

Anyone outside of your little bubble could crush you, seppo.

Shouldn't you be in a traitorous Dixie thread

Well yeah, most of the people outside my bubble are obese landwhales, but that's not what we're talking about. We're talking about your absolutely abysmal grasp of your own mother tongue.

American English is the authentic English since WW2. Literally no one gives a fuck about the British anymore.

.t mush mouth

Repeat that again?

>a better grasp of the English language
hate this idea that english isn't allowed distinct dialects

other languages are allowed them and even branching variations of their languages themselves
but english is expected to only have one standardised version and every dialect is somehow improper

not talking specifically about yanks here btw, it's a common mentality in the uk too

What a friendly guy.

Oi sayd yoov gawt ah poor graysp ov thee english layngwedge ya salty sheila

american isn't even close to the most conservative english dialect

You're mad as a cut snake because you know any full grown Aussie could crack onto your missus and cuck you within a heartbeat, cockeyes.

The written equivalent of your accent would be pidgin no doubt.

I've fucked more arseholes like you than colon cancer in scrap ups, mate.

If you let out a whisper of that burger trash compactor of a mouth to me I would turn your arsehole into a second hand Piñata.

Same speed, often sounds nasal and whiny to us.

>any full grown Aussie could crack onto your missus and cuck you within a heartbeat

>this is what Aussies actually believe
It would only take a single word to strike fear into the heart of any Australian.
