ive lived in wisconsin all my life and i have to admit, ive never heard anyone talk like that. dont chya know what a sconnie accent is? puhlease. try the canadians, aye.
OMFG ok im from wisconsin and we dont have an accent its the people who live by canada that have that stupid ass accent so stop saying its a wisconsin accent
Not only do you have accents- you have very thick accents compared to the rest of the country. Listen to folks from Indianapolis or Kansas City- if they sound "Southern" to you - then yes you have an accent- those two cities are considered the "benchmark" for the most neutral midwestern accents in the country.
It's obvious that because you can't formulate a proper grammatical sentence structure your limited capabalities make you resort to unprovoked insults. In addition, considering that you responded when normal regular people are actually sleeping speaks for itself.
I'm from MN and go to college in WI, and I'm pretty sure the two states sound almost the same, except some Wisconsinites call drinking fountains "bubblers." This video is definitely exaggerated (I have NEVER heard somebody from MN or WI say "don't cha knooow") but I do recognize how silly our accents sound to other people.
I think it's funny that in all of the Minnesotan accent videos they state "Oh, that's more of a Wisconsin accent, we don't really talk like that." And in all of the Wisconsin accent videos it's "Umm, that's more like a Minnesota accent. We don't sound like that." Albeit this video is more of an exaggeration, the whole damn region is in denial that there is a blatant northern midwest accent that's clear as day to the rest of the country, lol!
I'm from Wisconsin and that sounds like a Minnesota accent...we do say things similar though...my parents still say "Wally World," everyone says "taday" instead of "today," and chesse and Old Milwaukee (Mawakee) are awesome
Mmmkaaayy.. That's more of a minnesotta accent but.. Good try. And most parts of Wisconsin barely have an accent, but the more country parts have a really heavy one. But yours is not even close to a Wisconsin accent.
ooooh my gosh!!! yes that is very funny but just to clairfy, that is like a minnasota accent mixed with a canadian accdent. so yeah. maybe some people talk like that from wisconsin but most of us don't. just saying. it was funny though.
ooooh my gosh!!! yes that is very funny but just to clairfy, that is like a minnasota accent mixed with a canadian accdent. so yeah. maybe some people talk like that from wisconsin but most of us don't. just saying. it was funny though.
All I know is that I'm from WI. And any time I'm out of state numerous people can identify that I'm from WI by my "accent". Wisconsinites like any other region will attempt to deny they have an accent. But now after 11 years out of state I can pick up on it myself. And it was my INDIANA friends that pointed it out, lol. So saying people from WI speak like all midwesterners is far fetched. Embrace it and take pride in it before the media has everybody speaking the same.
this is not funny at all. it's actually pretty annoying, we in wisconsin do not talk like that. i don't get why the rest of the world thinks we do. we don't live off of fucking cheese and beer, and we don't spend our time making CAT costumes. wtf? get a life, please. oh, and for all the people saying "lighten up", we have a right to be offended. so grow some balls or something.
I was in the Marines for 5 years and always got crap for my accent. The southern boys and I would always go at it fighting about who had the worse accent. I made people laugh though so it's all good.
i make the same accent about Minnesotans, but i am from Wisconsin and i really don't catch us saying dont'cha know or us talking about our cheese or calling our state "wis-CAHN-sin" when us wisconsins call it "wis-CON-sin" and stuff so what I'm trying to say is, i do kind of take this offensive.
@irishlca but I'm guessing you change the word "for" to "fur" when saying "Wanna go fur a walk?" Do you have the words "rag, tag, bag, etc." with the same 'a' sound as in "bay". Because if you do, you have a Wisconsin accent. Those rhyme with 'had', not 'bay'. Do you follow your questions with the phrase "or no?" or as you probably say them "er no?" Then you also have a Wisconsin accent, lol. Do you say "I'm going to go BY" somebody's house as opposed to "TO"?
It means "And so". Wisconsinites commonly start and end sentences with that phrase and also other strange ones like 'er, no?'. Every out of state person has a good laugh at the Milw. Airport when the guy says "Want me ta tayg yer bayg, er no?" There's a number of weird things in that sentence that highlight Wisconsinite syntax and their hard 'a's. Even my 12th grade Wisconsin English teacher argued that it's pronounced 'maygazine' and 'aygriculture', lol.
@rizdraver Okay, so why is it funny? Should I just go around making fun of people's Tennessee accents, or New York accents? No? So what gives everyone the right to make fun of people from Wisconsin because they say a couple of words differently?
Well number one, this is probably a Wisconsin native who has lost her accent and is being pushed by her friends to do a little "caricature" of her accent for kicks and giggles. She's not trying to demonize Wisconsin natives.
I can definitely see how the WI accent is funny to some. I laugh at my own WI accent when it creeps out; and sure as heck internally chuckle at everybody's drawl where I live now, lol. My mother-in-law says 'warsh' instead of wash. She's brainwarshed.
This doesn't reflect all of WI. But WI has atleast three distinct dialects that are different from one another. And it's not "just some" words. Basically, ALL vowels are stressed a little differently in WI. And the syntax is different. You're just used to it. For ex. "Take it with." probably sounds normal to you. Ending a sentence with 'with' annoys the hell out of most people. "Wanna come with er no?" is bordering on nonsensical to others in the states.
@rizdraver Well, what else are we supposed to say? I'm totally not saying we don't say things like, Take it with, or add an err no, but I know we don't sound like THAT. Like, that girl up there. she's saying things like Cayat, and Fiyav, and Selef, As is Cat, Five, and Self. And we do NOT say things like Don't cha know. Thats CANADIAN.
I would simply take it a little more in stride. The mass media constantly makes fun of Southern, Brooklyn, Mexican, Puerto Rican, Californian accents.
The Wisconsin accent is endearing to some. But it can be a bit goofy and less than alluring to most. The hard and long vowels, harsh consonants. It's essentially the melding of watered-down German with Scandinavian accents. It can sound 'thick'. You can't hear the accent in this vid:
@rizdraver Ehh. I should just make a video talking about the accents or something. >.> I really don't talk much differently than anybody else I see on TV or in Wisconsin.
To me, all the actors talk exactly the same and as normal as anybody in Wisconsin, so I don't see the big deal at all.
The thing is, sparing some of the south, virtually EVERYBODY in America thinks they talk like "the news" and "the media". People in the Northwest, California, East, Florida, Midwest ALL think they talk the "standard" national dialect.
I always revert back to the sentence I heard at the Milw Airport "Want me ta tayg yer bayg er no?" That one short sentence has 6 weird parts. But I'm sure that check-in guy thought he was speaking "just like in the media" or "like actors".
The thing about the WI accent that you must realize is it's not like a southern accent. WI natives don't hear people in the media and think it's "different". WI natives THINK they speak the Inland Northern dialect spoken in the media. They simply can't recognize the subtleties of their vowels; albeit it IS much closer to the Inland dialect than southern drawls are. If a WI native heard somebody from Iowa speak, they'd think they sound the same. WI simply can't identify their own quirks.
The accent spoken in the media is actually the northern midland accent. Market Research Companies initially settled in Omaha Nebraska because folks in that region were considered to have the most neutral accents. Walter Cronkite was a native of St Joseph MO, yet his accent was considered the benchmark for the typical "newscaster's" accent. On numerous occasions Mr Cronkite noted he never had to alter his accent, he just had to learn how to speak at a slower pace.
Much of this reverts back to the psychology of language. It's very difficult to independently hear yourself speak. What you hear is a mixture of what you say in your head and what you're physically hearing yourself say. WI natives think and hear a straight midwest Northern Inland dialect in their heads as they speak. It's like American Idol. Those people actually hear themselves singing well because what they're perceiving is a blend of their voice and the internal words before sung.
I'm curious where the "drawl" is that you're referring to?, because I noticed many northern midwesterners will refer to "central" midwesterners as having drawls when they actually don't.
In central Illinois, lower Indiana, central Ohio IMO there is an ultra-subtle drawl creeping in as in the south of those states they have full-blown drawls. But as a Wisconsinite, many midwestern dialects actually sound like they have a touch of a Pennsylvanian or Eastern accent. For ex, most WI people say the word 'rocks' with mouth wide open with a high 'ah' sound, 'rahks'. While most say it in between 'rahks' and 'rawks'. So to WI ears it sounds like a PA/Eastern accent 'rawks'.
I've got to disagree. I'm from the North East but have lived all over. It's lkely that most Wisconsinites would consider these areas to have drawls considering that the Wisconsin accent is extreme. I lived in Seattle for several years, but couldn't tell the Seattle accent apart from someone who was from Iowa, Indianapolis or Kansas City- they were almost identical. However Seattle also had alot of Wisconsin transplants-- those accents really stuck out compared to the Seattle natives
That video was in Green Bay. Bottomline, it has NOTHING to do with a Yooper accent (which a dozen commenters have pointed out). Almost everybody I've known from Appleton up sounds like that...along with many people in Southern Wisconsin who simply can't recognize it.
The most prevalent, yet one of the most subtle things about the Wisconsin accent that Wisconsinites simply can not seem to pick up on even when shown is how they close their 'o's. For instance, listen at 1:35 in this video:
youtube . c om/watch?v=jOu19UMA-eU
Notice how she stresses the 2nd 'O' in October. You can hear it when she says the word 'so' also. And notice how high of a sound the "Ah" is when she says "Ah-ctOber". She would add that sound saying Wisc-AH-nsin.
@rizdraver I'm sorry, but i really don't see what's wrong with out speak. Yeah, I get that we say "err no", or we stress the o in some of our words, or say bag differently, but i dont think people should be making fun of it like her. ^^^ people need to learn that we are NOT canadian or IRISH. no.
Most people I know from the Appleton area sound like this. We never say "Donchya know", but it in the same vein everybody I know says 'N'so' at the start of many sentences with the 'O' being highly stressed like that. And then the obvious Wisconsinisms: 'book bayg', Tyme machine, stop and go lights, etc.
i have never heard so many stereotypes in one video: Wal-Mart, Cheese, Drinking at the bar. Typical outsiders point of view. Very Ignorant, might i add.
This accent is more like Upper Peninsula/Michigan/Minnesota.
and here in Wisconsin, we don't pronounce it "wis-CAHN-sin"
@JakeBobProductions Wait... they said wal-mart? i dont shop anywhere involving a mart. i refuse to shop at wal-mart or k-mart, especially k mart. :p ew. marts are gross. lmao.
People from Wisconsin don't sound exactly like that. They do have a hint of that accent, but it is not that strong. "Donchano" lol. I've never heard anyone say that in Wisconsin. I'm from Indiana but I've lived in Wisconsin for the past few years.
Not at all. Any linguist would tell you that. Let me guess- you think that Wisconsin doesn't have an accent. You probably also think that people from Indianapolis and Kansas City have Southern accents. Believe it or not, people from Indianapolis and Kansas City have the most neutral Midwestern accents Guess what I'm from the Northeast and have traveled all over the country and yes people from Wisconsin have very thick, distinctive, strong accents.
yeah right. if that were true she wouldn't sound utterly ridiculous to me. the only words that didn't sound completely fake were "old Milwaukee" but i wonder how anyone could mess those up?
Your stupid what the heck? are we aren't canadians and btw its miller light thats what we famous for your stupid go back to night school and do something good with your life.

i have never heard so many stereotypes in one video: Wal-Mart, Cheese, Drinking at the bar. Typical outsiders point of view. Very Ignorant, might i add.
This accent is more like Upper Peninsula/Michigan/Minnesota.
and here in Wisconsin, we don't pronounce it "wis-CAHN-sin"

People from Wisconsin don't sound exactly like that. They do have a hint of that accent, but it is not that strong. "Donchano" lol. I've never heard anyone say that in Wisconsin. I'm from Indiana but I've lived in Wisconsin for the past few years.

Yes except Minnesota doesn't have the hard vowels like wisconsin does. Just the rounded "o's" and short "a's" sounding like short "e's"

you must be on crack lol where are you from that you think that?
racinecounty 2 years ago
Not at all. Any linguist would tell you that. Let me guess- you think that Wisconsin doesn't have an accent. You probably also think that people from Indianapolis and Kansas City have Southern accents. Believe it or not, people from Indianapolis and Kansas City have the most neutral Midwestern accents Guess what I'm from the Northeast and have traveled all over the country and yes people from Wisconsin have very thick, distinctive, strong accents.

oh yes you do. I've been to Madison twice and everyone I heard talks like that
ohso41 2 years ago
yeah right. if that were true she wouldn't sound utterly ridiculous to me. the only words that didn't sound completely fake were "old Milwaukee" but i wonder how anyone could mess those up?

this is probably one of the funniest accents ever.
