What the hell does an accent have to do with politics. Seriously can these anti Walker people just shut up and enjoy a freaking video rather than complain that people got to keep their jobs.
I stand with Gov Walker. Unions have raised taxes with bloated benefits and sent businesses to seek workers in foreign countries inorder to stay competative. He is trying to get us out of debt and lower taxes, geez, what is wrong with that?
Who the fuck talks like that? I've lived in WI for the majority of my life! It's "stop" not "StAHP"...and who says stop-and-go lights? I have NEVER met someone who says that in WI! This chick sounds like she's from Northern Minnesota or Canada, not Wisconsin. Most people there sound like people here in Nebraska, ho sound like people in Colorado, who sound like people in Illinois. There are exceptions but...most. And for the love of god, it's WIS-CON-SIN not Wes-CANN-sen..MILwaukee not Muwakee..
i lke govener waker cus he has that bill that helps the economy, and he get us out of dett first of. also screw teaches if you want a education just home school thats what i do it good for the economy plus governer walker is getting rid of unios wich bad for the economy.
@MhmToasty Shows how good home schooling is, you have poor grammar, poor punctuation, poor spelling, you are extremely redundant, and you are about as articulate as someone who has known English for less than a week.
Also, you provide no evidence to back up your statements, all you say is "unios are bad for the economy".
Unions increase production costs, but they create a higher quality of life for working class people.
You sound like you never question what your parents tell you.
I like Walker, getting rid of the unions, making us get out of debt.
He's supporting a law, so that we can carry conceiled guns around. I don't know why people are hating on Walker just because he's getting us out of debt. Or darn! people have to there insurance! OH WHAT A BAD THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! honestly.... unions are what put us in the whole. I stand with Walker.
@Sierik100 WOW!!! Teachers must have cut grammar from THEIR teaching... I can see the affects already... First its Their not there, second its hole not whole, third instead of practicing sarcasm.... PRACTICE GRAMMAR!!!!!!!!!
My favorite persons accent was Lawerence Welks. What kind of an accent was that? Was that a N or S Dakota accent? I never in my life heard anyone else talk like him.
Last week's season finale of 'I Used to Be Fat' on MTV featured a girl from North Dakota. Her, her trainer and her family all had N. Dakota accents that had my wife and I laughing because it sounded exactly like mine and my family's accent from South East Wisconsin. There's no way I could tell the difference between the two. I would have immediately guessed she was from my area back home in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Funny you mention that because to an outsider like me who has a very close friend from Waukesha, Southeastern Wisconsin has alot of "great lakes influences" via Chicago, in another words- "the hard vowels" nasality which most of the rest of Wisconsin (as well as Minnesota and North Dakota) lacks, however I do agree with you otherwise.
The girl definitely had the hard 'o' and 'oo' and really stressed her 'r's like we do. And she didn't have the Canadian raising 'cat' becoming 'kyeat' like many northern Wisconsinites and Minnesotans have. I was hoping she would say a word like flag, tag, rag, etc. to see if she said a hard 'a' like Wisconsinites do. She definitely said 'about' like my family and I say it.
Actually the hard Short O's ie "Wiscaahnsin" would also be missing in the North Dakota dialect as it is in Minnesota- that's more or less something that Wisconsin shares with the inland north accents in Chicago and other great lakes cities like Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo and Rochester but doesn't exist in the Northern Midwest accent.
You're correct; I was talking about the hard long o's as in coat, know, n'so. North Dakota definitely has that strong. Growing up an hour directly north of Chicago I've found that you pretty much lose that hard long O sound even within the city of Chicago nowadays. A few more hours south in Illinois and you're already hitting some heavy southern drawls from all of the transplants from bordering Kentucky that have populated the lower third of Illinois.
I've yet to hear the "long O" sound in Chicago.- to me Wisconsin- specifically southeastern Wisconsin is the crossroads between the Chicago style Great lakes accent and the Minnesota/North Dakota Style northern midwest accent.
I've heard numerous people in the city with the long 'o'. Obviously it's not as prevalent as 60 min up 94. I deal with a couple marketing and PR firms based in downtown Chi and all of the girls on our conference calls have a very clear long 'o'. And when you get west of the city through Rockford up through the west corner you still have that. I would say Joliet is about where it starts to really die quick. And anything even remotely east at the Indiana border, it cuts off instantly.
I've just never heard it- I've been to Chicago many times, I have a friend who lives in Westmont- I'm certain he grew up in the City- neither he, nor his brothers or their friends have the long O. I haven't heard it on transplants that I knew in Seattle, NYC and New Mexico.
If someone were to blind fold me and take me back and forth between Chicago and Milwaukee I can still immediately tell the difference in the two accents.
And that's certainly true when basing it on such limited anecdotal experiences. All you have to do is drive 30 min west of Chi and there's virtually no difference between someone living in Rockford as opposed to Janesville. They both have the pronounced Great Lakes vowels. Tina Fey has stated in all of her late night show appearances that she based her Sarah Palin impression off of her high school friend's Aunt's accent from Joliet, IL.
I wouldn't say my experiences are limited- I've been to Chicago at least a dozen times- in fact I've been there on extended trips for business in the past- in the northern suburbs and never heard that "Rounded O" ever-anywhere in the Chicago land area- you go up to Milwaukee-though and it hits you a like a ton of bricks.
I love regional accents. Some years ago, it was thought that with the influence of tv and the internet that regional accents would die off, but this isn't true. If anything, people are more aware of regional accents and actually have a lot of pride in them. Not everyone wants to sound like a news announcer. By the way, I LOVE Wisconsin, especially the accent!
The rest of the country calls them 'traffic lights' or 'stop lights'. It's also poked at because 'stop-and-go lights' really brings out the WI accent. We change our o's to a's, so 'stop' sounds like a stressed 'stAHp'. Most others have it bending more toward 'stawp'. And of course 'go' highlights that classic closed 'oo' sound Wisconsinites have.
Most others do not say "stawp" the rest of the country says "Stop" the part of the country that pronounces "stop" as "stawp" is northeastern New England and Southwestern PA- basically the Boston and Pittsburgh accents typically pronounce it this way.
I mentioned it bends toward 'stawp' so it's inbetween the Wisconsin 'stahp' and the Jersey Shore 'sto-awp'. I think it's hard to explain some of the more subtle parts of the Wisconsin accent to the people that have them. They're simply bending the vowels a bit in another direction. Particularly the 'o' to 'a' switch is one of the hardest things to describe. Wisconsinites say 'rocks' ever so differently but still characteristically noticeable.
"The Jersey Shore accent' your referring to is strictly hollywood. It doesn't exist. I'm from Long island NY and I can assure you way pronounce "stop" as "stop" and not ""sto-awp" it may sound that way to you if you're from the inland north, in fact I have friends from Pittsburgh who make fun of me because they say I pronounce "Stop" as "Stahp" or better yet, when I say "Bob" it sounds to them like "Bahb" yet my best friend, who from Waukesha WI says I pronounce "Bob" like "Bawb"
I went to school in Rhode Island (RISD in Providence) for some time and heard the word "sto-awp" all the time. The only person on the Jersey Shore that actually to-awks like that is Pauly D. And he's from Providence, not New Jersey. Of course not every RI'er has that thick of an accent. But it wasn't just me because even all of my New York, Maryland, NJ friends all acknowledged the Providence kids saying "to-awk to me" and "sto-awp it!".
That's ironic, because I now live in RI- in East Greenwich. I agree about RI- the stereotypical accent is absolutely alive and well here- unfortunately not so much where I grew up in RI. I lived in Seattle for a time- the locals there have a fairly neutral accent and they would have noticed if I said words like "stop" differently. They would always point out words like coffee, sausage, neighborhood and quarter which they said I pronounced differently
I grew up in Kenosha, as south east as you can get, and since I moved away 11 years ago I can tell that all of my family has a slight Wisconsin accent. Just talked to my dad on the phone and the accent in the 'o's when he said the words 'snow', 'road' and 'coat' was very apparent. If I hear anybody say those words like that I know immediately they're from either Chicago, Wisconsin or Minnesota. My family denies an accent. But my wife's Ohio family all pick up on it immediately.
They're south of I-80 but still in the north of the state. Her dad's side sounds normal but her mom's side (all from the same general area) has definite drawls. Her mom says "warsh the clothes" and when they go out on their motorcycles they're going for a "rod". My wife didn't inherit any of this. Though it took her 6 years to finally mention that I "said things weird". I have a lot of friends from Cleveland and they have their own accent as well. It's between a Chicago and NY accent.
That's interesting because when I lived in Seattle, I had friends from Cincinnati and they didn't have drawls, and didn't sound any different from the Seattle Localsin fact I've been to Cincinnati and didn't hear any drawls except for the folks who moved up from Appalachia in Kentucky. Now the Minnesota/Wisconsin/North Dakota transplants sounded different from the Seattle natives but they thought the Seattle Natives sounded "just like them" which I thought was a little humerous
Then you certainly haven't seen much of Ohio. Virtually all of the transplants for generations are from Kentucky and West Virginia. Much of the state has THICK drawls. It's why Northern Ohioans call the southern half of the state Hamiltucky (Hamilton is the Cinci area). There are some serious southern redneck roots throughout that area. Even my wife who grew up in Ohio has a hard time understand her step-dad because his drawl is so heavy. And he grew up in Ohio (Marion-Marysville area).
I've been to the major cities, that's probably why. To me the only places in Ohio with strong accents are Cleveland and Toledo. In Columbus and Dayton it was Midwestern Neutral. I had a friend from Alabama who transferred to Dayton and said everyone there sounds like a %*%$* yankee to him.
On a different note, someone I met from Kansas went to school in Minnesota and they kept calling her a southern belle because of her accent- the funny thing is she didn't have a southern accent!
However everyone in other parts of the country think you do- The Entire West Coast knows about Wisconsin accents because of the transplants. I used to live in Seattle and all the local's were able to spot a Wisconsin transplant a mile away just because of their accent.
lolz. I'm from upper midwest wisconsin and the accent there has a much heavier norwegian and germanic influence. Most of the youngsters don't have much of an accent when they get to school, but it seems to creep up with age, peaking around 80. My parents are starting to get it, and my grandparents have a HEAVY accent.
NE Wisc has a Yooper draw (and by NE I mean north of Fondy), north/central west has a Minnesota draw, and central/SW Wisc has the classic "gowin goowse hundtin down der by da broohk" accent. Most of SW Wisc is big city Milwaukee & its 'burbs and has a much more neutral that is kinda skewed due to the Chicago draw and the diversity of the people living there. However any smalltown you go to all over the state will be much more noticable than the lady in this vid
I love how a few are saying "That's ridiculous we don't talk like that", but then there are dozens of Wisconsinites commenting "What accent? I don't hear one??". Whether it's subtle or extreme like this, you can't argue that WI definitely has its own accent.
@rizdraver Well see the people questioning and saying we don't have an accent are most likely from the south east of wisconsin where we really don't have accents. Now if you go to the northern, and north west parts of Wisconsin they will have this accent, which is the yupper accent. Those in the north west will have Canadian accents. So it's understandable why some will say we do and others say we don't. That's because it depends on what part of WI they are from
The south eastern part of the state also has a strong accent. My friend is from Waukesha/Pewaukee - her accent is a combination and has a combination of the North-Central and Great Lakes (Chicago Area) accent- most people in the Milwaukee area have this accent.
@ohso41 are you sure she doesnt have family from the upper middle of wisconsin? Because that could explain it. People from waukesha and milwaukee tend to have more neutral accents. The only thing we say with a twang is the word 'wisconsin' like every other wisconsiner.
No her entire family is from the Milwaukee area-however when I was in Milwaukee back in 2003 it seems everyone there has a similar accent- kind of like Minnesota meets Chicago- it's not MIdwestern Neutral-
When I think of Midwestern Neutral I think more of the Des Moines Iowa or Omaha Nebraska area- even central Indiana (Indianapolis)
@ohso41 What part of Milwaukee have you been going anyways, because I'm from Milwaukee and I dont have that accent at all. Actually I sound more like I'd be from chicago period. When I go down to Chicago people cant tell I'm from Milwaukee until I call a soda, well soda since they call it pop. That's the only way. Not even close to a minnesota accent, that's more people from the west part of Wisconsin and middle of wisconsin.
I've been to Mequon, Cedarsburg, Wauwatosa, Whitefish Bay.. Everyone i spoke with in Milwaukee had the classic "Chicago Style" hard vowels and the Classic Minnesota "rounded o's" and "clipped long a's" some were pronounced and some not so much.
@ohso41 I'm actually from Milwaukee, live here, was raised here, been here most of my life. I don't hear the minnesota accent AT ALL here. I do hear it when I go to Stevens Point and a lot of people from the western side of the state go there to college. I can hear it clear as day, but not in Milwaukee.
You may not hear it but it doesn't mean it's not there and that "an outsider" can't here it. I met my friend when we lived in Seattle. She thought she sounded no different than the local Seattle natives however to me she sounded completely different and to many (not all) of the Seattle locals she did too. What's interesting about folks in the Pacific NW is that they don't pick up on accents unless they're extreme. Someone from Kansas could sound
@ohso41 But what you're completely missing is that I hear the minnesota accent and hints of the minnesota accent in other Wisconsiners in other parts of the state, yet in the section that you say have it all of a sudden I can't hear it? Is that what you're trying to tell me? Because that makes no sense at all.
check out my favorited videos- they're all local commercials that exemplify regional accents. Check out the ones in Milwaukee- compare them to Chicago or The Twin Cities- or even the Detroit area. I hear the rounded "O's" in the Milwaukee videos I don't hear them in the Chicago or Detroit videos.
@ohso41 I looked at your videos even though I have been in chicago and detriot a million times, but they only confirmed what I said. Look at the video from chicago with aguilera (or what it aguilar?). His accent is the same as the one in Milwaukee. Same way we use our Os and everything. Now go look for videos from the eastern part of Wisconsin, you will hear the minnesota accent clear as day
I'm thinking you have to be an "outsider" like myself to pick up on it. Milwaukee and Chicago are about 100 miles apart- similar to the distance between NYC and Philly, however the accents in NYC and Philly are noticeably different (although somewhat similar) the same thing applies to Milwaukee and Chicago- there is noticeable difference in the accent that I have picked up.
@ohso41 But Im from Milwaukee and go to chicago like 5 times a year. When I go there people cant tell Im not from chicago until I call soda pop, so instead of pop like they do. Or if I ask for a "beg" instead of a "bahg"
Not only do Wisconsinites have accents- they're strong too compared with the rest of the country. Listen to folks from Kansas City or Indianapolis- do they sound "Southern" to you- if the answer is "yes" then you do have an accent because those accents are one of the most neutral in the midwest.
@ohso41 that may be true but if you ever watch espn or any sports networks, they are trained to talk with a wisconsin accent because its the easiest one to say. my uncle lives in south carolina and when he DRIVES his wife to the store... he "carries" her to the store. im like doesnt ur back hurt after that??
I'm not sure where you got this info from- The Wisconsin accent is very distinctive and I hear it when I'm in Wisconsin, but not on ESPN or any of the Sports or News Networks-
Not sure if you know this but the News Casters accent was based on the late Walter Cronkite- he was from St Joseph's Missouri- one thing he always pointed out was that he never had to change his accent- he just had to learn to talk at a slower pace.
I live in WI and I know I have an accent. She seems more nasal sounding than most. When I was young I had a very heavy accent, most of us farm kids did. Over the years our teachers forced it out of us, usually by humiliating us in front of the class. I no longer say things like "I'll see youse guys der at tree o'clock". It is a shame that TV, radio and schools are slowly eliminating accents throughout the U.S. I have traveled all over the country and love listening to the different accents.
I agree - that is not a normal Wisconsin way of speaking. She is either not from Wisconsin, or if from Wisconsin from near the border with upper Michigan or possibly Door county.
Another thing she's doing that all Wisconsin natives do to a varying degree is she stresses the first syllable of multi-syllable words. This is a direct effect of the Finnish/Scand influence (which accounts for much of the WI accents). It gives an awkward rhythm to familiar words when an outsider here's them.
My Indiana friend pointed this out to me when I said the word TV. It always took him an extra second to realize what I meant because I would say TEE-vee, holding the TEE longer than the v
If you said "N'so ta git to da Tyme Machine in downtown Oconomowoc, yer gonna go by da first stop and go lights, on the left you'll see Da Pig and on the right you'll see a bubbler in fronta da bank. It'll be right dere" to most other people in the US, they'll have no idea what a Tyme Machine is or what the hell you even said.
xmethodactingx, I grew up in Kenosha; but after moving away ten years ago and losing my accent, when I return EVERYBODY from home has an accent. "Book Bayg", "WiscAHnsin"....even when my family says "I know", the O is so ridiculously stressed even to someone from elsewhere in the Midewest like Indiana, Ohio, etc. I can't imagine how it sounds to somebody from the south. It literally sounds like we have a Finnish/Swedish/Norwegian accent to some people in the southern US.
I'm not from Wisconsin,. but what's even funnier is when people from Wisconsin think that people from Iowa or Indianapolis have Southern Accents, when its actually those accents that are the most neutral in the midwest.
@rizdraver lol i went down south in alabama went my family (we from wisconsin) and alot of ppl who i was trying to tlk to down there thought i was from a european country like norway or what evr...and i didnt kno why...
I'm from Wisconsin (as everyone else is apparently) and I don't hear it. This is, more or less, how everyone I know talks unless they moved in from the south or from the east. I guess Wisconsin's accent is a kind of soccer mom-ish Canadian dialect, or so it is portrayed. As I said, I see nothing out of place with her speech. Everyone around me just talks normally like this.
When I lived in Seattle, I could always tell a transplant from Wisconsin because their accent was so completely different than the standard Seattle accent.
I cah think of several states out west and in the midwest where they don't talk like this. Go to Iowa or Nebraska- they don't talk like this. Go to Montana or Washington State- they don't talk like this- or Arizona, Kansas, Missouri, Idaho. Wyoming, Oregon, California, etc. So it's not just the south or east.
haha if im correct i believe this is at the old badger sports park in appleton, wisconsin. Im from appleton and have been here many times but its hard to tell from the video.
I have an accent ?Thats news to me.I've had people ask if i was from Canada and that's bad..I have a buddy of mine from Atlanta and they must have a lot of crap broken down their cause their always " Fix in" to du things.Its all in good fun.
We have an accent?!?! Huh, that's funny cause if someone comes from a different state people can tell they r not from Wisconsin. Btw, it's called a BUBBLER not a stupid water fountain.
wait..wait..we have an accent? maybe to you. but. to us. not really..:D [ i lived in Wisconsin my whole life & never heard anybody talk like that ] that girl could be from a different state. but, we say "like" a lot. that i can agree to. ;D
People from Wisconsin do have a very strong distinctive accent, that people in the rest of the country can pick out very easily. Listen to folks from Kansas City or Indianapolis, if they sound "southern" to you then yes you do have an accent
@FuckinCrazyness Its definitely badgerland sports or whatever in appleton. The Lambeau Field minigolf hole comes to mind...as well as their very strict policy towards "agressive" driving. Buncha crap really
Holy shit. I live in southeastern Wisconsin and most people here dont have as heavy accents as her...hers was reallyyy thick. Its weird I have lived here all my life and I think its just that some people get he accents and others dont or just less heavy its like that everywhere.
Let me tell you something about the wisconsin accent, I think its annoying and women find it unattractive. I lived in a small town called Kewaunee for 18 years and I never knew i had a accent in-till I moved out to the Northwest. After living out here for 2 years I pretty much got it down not to talk like a WisconsinIte, but I do notice every time i get drunk it comes out. It seems like Northern Wisconsin and all the small towns have accents.
I'm from Texas and my girlfriend lives just outside of Milwaukee. The dialects seem to become heavier with people from the northern & eastern areas of the state. Her sister married a guy from Green Bay and now she talks more like him- hard to understand at times. It's the same scenario in Texas- the typical drawls that people associate with Texans are mostly from north & east Texas. In San Antonio most anglo people talk like they're from the Kansas City area.
lol ikr! i'm from wisco and we dont all sound like this. i'm from milwaukee tho, and i noticed my friends who live northern have this slight accent lol

All you have to do is drive 30 min west of Chi and there's virtually no difference between someone living in Rockford as opposed to Janesville. They both have the pronounced Great Lakes vowels. Tina Fey has stated in all of her late night show appearances that she based her Sarah Palin impression off of her high school friend's Aunt's accent from Joliet, IL.

I wouldn't say my experiences are limited- I've been to Chicago at least a dozen times- in fact I've been there on extended trips for business in the past- in the northern suburbs and never heard that "Rounded O" ever-anywhere in the Chicago land area- you go up to Milwaukee-though and it hits you a like a ton of bricks.

I love regional accents. Some years ago, it was thought that with the influence of tv and the internet that regional accents would die off, but this isn't true. If anything, people are more aware of regional accents and actually have a lot of pride in them. Not everyone wants to sound like a news announcer. By the way, I LOVE Wisconsin, especially the accent!

@hlynnz
probably nothing- it's just the way it's being pronounced "in Wiscaahnsinese" that sounds funny
ohso41 1 year ago
@hlynnz
The rest of the country calls them 'traffic lights' or 'stop lights'. It's also poked at because 'stop-and-go lights' really brings out the WI accent. We change our o's to a's, so 'stop' sounds like a stressed 'stAHp'. Most others have it bending more toward 'stawp'. And of course 'go' highlights that classic closed 'oo' sound Wisconsinites have.
rizdraver 1 year ago
@rizdraver
Most others do not say "stawp" the rest of the country says "Stop" the part of the country that pronounces "stop" as "stawp" is northeastern New England and Southwestern PA- basically the Boston and Pittsburgh accents typically pronounce it this way.
ohso41 1 year ago
@ohso41
I mentioned it bends toward 'stawp' so it's inbetween the Wisconsin 'stahp' and the Jersey Shore 'sto-awp'. I think it's hard to explain some of the more subtle parts of the Wisconsin accent to the people that have them. They're simply bending the vowels a bit in another direction. Particularly the 'o' to 'a' switch is one of the hardest things to describe. Wisconsinites say 'rocks' ever so differently but still characteristically noticeable.

"The Jersey Shore accent' your referring to is strictly hollywood. It doesn't exist. I'm from Long island NY and I can assure you way pronounce "stop" as "stop" and not ""sto-awp" it may sound that way to you if you're from the inland north, in fact I have friends from Pittsburgh who make fun of me because they say I pronounce "Stop" as "Stahp" or better yet, when I say "Bob" it sounds to them like "Bahb" yet my best friend, who from Waukesha WI says I pronounce "Bob" like "Bawb"
ohso41 1 year ago
@ohso41
I went to school in Rhode Island (RISD in Providence) for some time and heard the word "sto-awp" all the time. The only person on the Jersey Shore that actually to-awks like that is Pauly D. And he's from Providence, not New Jersey. Of course not every RI'er has that thick of an accent. But it wasn't just me because even all of my New York, Maryland, NJ friends all acknowledged the Providence kids saying "to-awk to me" and "sto-awp it!".
rizdraver 1 year ago
@rizdraver
That's ironic, because I now live in RI- in East Greenwich. I agree about RI- the stereotypical accent is absolutely alive and well here- unfortunately not so much where I grew up in RI. I lived in Seattle for a time- the locals there have a fairly neutral accent and they would have noticed if I said words like "stop" differently. They would always point out words like coffee, sausage, neighborhood and quarter which they said I pronounced differently

I grew up in Kenosha, as south east as you can get, and since I moved away 11 years ago I can tell that all of my family has a slight Wisconsin accent. Just talked to my dad on the phone and the accent in the 'o's when he said the words 'snow', 'road' and 'coat' was very apparent. If I hear anybody say those words like that I know immediately they're from either Chicago, Wisconsin or Minnesota. My family denies an accent. But my wife's Ohio family all pick up on it immediately.

@ohso41
They're south of I-80 but still in the north of the state. Her dad's side sounds normal but her mom's side (all from the same general area) has definite drawls. Her mom says "warsh the clothes" and when they go out on their motorcycles they're going for a "rod". My wife didn't inherit any of this. Though it took her 6 years to finally mention that I "said things weird". I have a lot of friends from Cleveland and they have their own accent as well. It's between a Chicago and NY accent.
rizdraver 1 year ago
@rizdraver
That's interesting because when I lived in Seattle, I had friends from Cincinnati and they didn't have drawls, and didn't sound any different from the Seattle Localsin fact I've been to Cincinnati and didn't hear any drawls except for the folks who moved up from Appalachia in Kentucky. Now the Minnesota/Wisconsin/North Dakota transplants sounded different from the Seattle natives but they thought the Seattle Natives sounded "just like them" which I thought was a little humerous
ohso41 1 year ago
@ohso41
Then you certainly haven't seen much of Ohio. Virtually all of the transplants for generations are from Kentucky and West Virginia. Much of the state has THICK drawls. It's why Northern Ohioans call the southern half of the state Hamiltucky (Hamilton is the Cinci area). There are some serious southern redneck roots throughout that area. Even my wife who grew up in Ohio has a hard time understand her step-dad because his drawl is so heavy. And he grew up in Ohio (Marion-Marysville area).

I've been to the major cities, that's probably why. To me the only places in Ohio with strong accents are Cleveland and Toledo. In Columbus and Dayton it was Midwestern Neutral. I had a friend from Alabama who transferred to Dayton and said everyone there sounds like a %*%$* yankee to him.
On a different note, someone I met from Kansas went to school in Minnesota and they kept calling her a southern belle because of her accent- the funny thing is she didn't have a southern accent!

NE Wisc has a Yooper draw (and by NE I mean north of Fondy), north/central west has a Minnesota draw, and central/SW Wisc has the classic "gowin goowse hundtin down der by da broohk" accent. Most of SW Wisc is big city Milwaukee & its 'burbs and has a much more neutral that is kinda skewed due to the Chicago draw and the diversity of the people living there. However any smalltown you go to all over the state will be much more noticable than the lady in this vid

I love how a few are saying "That's ridiculous we don't talk like that", but then there are dozens of Wisconsinites commenting "What accent? I don't hear one??". Whether it's subtle or extreme like this, you can't argue that WI definitely has its own accent.
rizdraver 1 year ago
@rizdraver Well see the people questioning and saying we don't have an accent are most likely from the south east of wisconsin where we really don't have accents. Now if you go to the northern, and north west parts of Wisconsin they will have this accent, which is the yupper accent. Those in the north west will have Canadian accents. So it's understandable why some will say we do and others say we don't. That's because it depends on what part of WI they are from
lostchild06 1 year ago
@lostchild06
The south eastern part of the state also has a strong accent. My friend is from Waukesha/Pewaukee - her accent is a combination and has a combination of the North-Central and Great Lakes (Chicago Area) accent- most people in the Milwaukee area have this accent.
ohso41 1 year ago
@ohso41 are you sure she doesnt have family from the upper middle of wisconsin? Because that could explain it. People from waukesha and milwaukee tend to have more neutral accents. The only thing we say with a twang is the word 'wisconsin' like every other wisconsiner.
lostchild06 1 year ago
@lostchild06
No her entire family is from the Milwaukee area-however when I was in Milwaukee back in 2003 it seems everyone there has a similar accent- kind of like Minnesota meets Chicago- it's not MIdwestern Neutral-
When I think of Midwestern Neutral I think more of the Des Moines Iowa or Omaha Nebraska area- even central Indiana (Indianapolis)
ohso41 1 year ago
@ohso41 What part of Milwaukee have you been going anyways, because I'm from Milwaukee and I dont have that accent at all. Actually I sound more like I'd be from chicago period. When I go down to Chicago people cant tell I'm from Milwaukee until I call a soda, well soda since they call it pop. That's the only way. Not even close to a minnesota accent, that's more people from the west part of Wisconsin and middle of wisconsin.

What's interesting about folks in the Pacific NW is that they don't pick up on accents unless they're extreme. Someone from Kansas could sound

check out my favorited videos- they're all local commercials that exemplify regional accents. Check out the ones in Milwaukee- compare them to Chicago or The Twin Cities- or even the Detroit area. I hear the rounded "O's" in the Milwaukee videos I don't hear them in the Chicago or Detroit videos.

@ohso41 I looked at your videos even though I have been in chicago and detriot a million times, but they only confirmed what I said.

Now go look for videos from the eastern part of Wisconsin, you will hear the minnesota accent clear as day

I'm thinking you have to be an "outsider" like myself to pick up on it. Milwaukee and Chicago are about 100 miles apart- similar to the distance between NYC and Philly, however the accents in NYC and Philly are noticeably different (although somewhat similar) the same thing applies to Milwaukee and Chicago- there is noticeable difference in the accent that I have picked up.

Not only do Wisconsinites have accents- they're strong too compared with the rest of the country. Listen to folks from Kansas City or Indianapolis- do they sound "Southern" to you- if the answer is "yes" then you do have an accent because those accents are one of the most neutral in the midwest.

@ohso41 that may be true but if you ever watch espn or any sports networks, they are trained to talk with a wisconsin accent because its the easiest one to say. my uncle lives in south carolina and when he DRIVES his wife to the store... he "carries" her to the store. im like doesnt ur back hurt after that??

I'm not sure where you got this info from- The Wisconsin accent is very distinctive and I hear it when I'm in Wisconsin, but not on ESPN or any of the Sports or News Networks-
Not sure if you know this but the News Casters accent was based on the late Walter Cronkite- he was from St Joseph's Missouri- one thing he always pointed out was that he never had to change his accent- he just had to learn to talk at a slower pace.

I live in WI and I know I have an accent. She seems more nasal sounding than most. When I was young I had a very heavy accent, most of us farm kids did. Over the years our teachers forced it out of us, usually by humiliating us in front of the class. I no longer say things like "I'll see youse guys der at tree o'clock". It is a shame that TV, radio and schools are slowly eliminating accents throughout the U.S. I have traveled all over the country and love listening to the different accents.

Another thing she's doing that all Wisconsin natives do to a varying degree is she stresses the first syllable of multi-syllable words. This is a direct effect of the Finnish/Scand influence (which accounts for much of the WI accents). It gives an awkward rhythm to familiar words when an outsider here's them.
My Indiana friend pointed this out to me when I said the word TV. It always took him an extra second to realize what I meant because I would say TEE-vee, holding the TEE longer than the v

Let me tell you something about the wisconsin accent, I think its annoying and women find it unattractive. I lived in a small town called Kewaunee for 18 years and I never knew i had a accent in-till I moved out to the Northwest. After living out here for 2 years I pretty much got it down not to talk like a WisconsinIte, but I do notice every time i get drunk it comes out. It seems like Northern Wisconsin and all the small towns have accents.
