I am from south-west Indiana, and I do not talk like that, ever. I tend to talk more southern than in regular American English. Instead of saying "Have you sold your guy's house yet?", I would say "Have ya'll sold your house yet?" I would never ask "How's come?" I have never heard anyone born in Indiana talk like those women, especially the blonde.
Ma'am, I have no idea where in Indiana you are from, but I would certainly like to find out so I can make sure and not visit. These two sound like retards.
I live in [central] Indiana, I hate corn, and I don't talk like that. I've only ever said Meijer, not Meijer's, I'v'e said Walmart, not Walmart's... etc.ALTHOUGH... I say "guys's" a lot, lol. I have never said "How's come" though xD only "How Come" This is wrong, mostly. We don't use THAT MANY s's...
I live in Indianapolis, Indiana and I Hate corn, have never said something as stupid sounding as alls I know or how's come...um who says that stuff AND I have never in my life heard anyone in Indiana talk about a tractor
How about I'm from Northern Indiana too, and I never use that many extra 's in a conversation. That sounds totally stupid to me. We do say Meijer's, but I would never say "All I knows" or "How's come".
If you have never heard our accent before it's like a mixture of Georgia, Kentucky and Tennessee. I'll give a list of words and phrases we use and maybe you can sorta get the idea. I'll give the proper word first, then I'll give our version. You might use the same words but I bet you don't pronounce them like we do.(REFRIGERATOR - FRIDGE, DRINK - JRANK, SODA - POP, WATER - WADDER, GETTING READY TO - IM FITT'N TO or IM FIX'N TO, BROTHER - BRUDDER, AUNT - ON'T, MOTHER - MUDDER, SORT OF - SORTA
I've met people from northern Indiana and when they say I have an accent and ask me where i'm from and I tell them I'm also from Indiana they can't believe it. They say I sound like I'm from the deep south. In which case I say close. Basically I consider everything south of Indianapolis and Bloomington the start of the deep south. There's not much difference in dialect and culture between here and Mississippi or Alabama. People from N.Indiana consider us country, and country im proud to be.
I have lived in southern Indiana my whole life, about 15 minutes from downtown Louisville, Ky. It's amazing how many different regional dialects can be found throughout the state. Indiana could be divided into 3 states with 3 totally different cultures and dialects. First is the north, northwest with Chicago being the main influence. Then central to south-west with Indianapolis influences. And finally the south heavily influenceed by Louisville.
Born and raised in Indiana. I eat corn. (Corn is real tasty). I add S's to everything and I hear LOTS of other people do it too...no, not everyone in IN does, but a good majority does. Guess I'm a stereotypical hoosier :P
i'm from indiana..... and to all the ppl who say "we never talk like that" no not everyone talks like that... but yes... absolutely. all the things i've heard on this series of vids i have heard said in this state somewhere along the line.
I am a proud Hoosier and loved the video! The thing about stereotypes is ... that there is always a kernel of truth to it. In this case, there´s more than a kernel -- there´s a whole cobful!
Ok, so I was raised in Muncie, currently live in central Indiana, Before I get too critical, I do accept the adding an 'S to the end of store names. Like Marsh's, Meijer's, Ross's (now defunct)...but that does not mean you add an 'S to every proper noun. Geesh! Real Hoosiers my a**. If they really wanted to capture the Hoosier dialect they should have gone to restaurants or asked to sit down with some real families in their homes over dinner and a game of eucre. Good for some laughs I suppose.
Haha, I'm from Indiana and I speak like every other American with the General American accent, but it's true some of us do speak in a fucked up way (Southern drawl, constant use of 's', 'ah' instead of 'I', 'a' as in 'dad' instead of 'eh' as in let). Also, we don't talk about corn THAT much!
@animegirl506 Oh god, I know! And replacing "idea" with "ideal" and vice versa, and saying "Benjermin" instead of "Benjamin"! It's fucked up since my brother mom display all these aspects within their speech, it's so god damn annoying!!
@animegirl506 Oh, and the absence of "l' and thus saying "code" instead of "cold" and "toad" (or 'tone") instead of "told" and saying things such as : "I done tone him to come over here!"
This is ridiculous BULLSHIZZEM! I am from N. Indiana and have NEVER heard anyone speak like that before ...we don't say "How's" or "Alls" <-- I hear those way more in TN.
@Skabur123 It is bull. I'm from Indiana too, I speak true Hoosier, and i don't speak like that. I was born and raised there. I don't hear anything like that either....I don't hear "How's" or "Alls" i hear more "Yinz" or "Aint"
That's kinda offensive. Why the hell do you stereotype that we don't have proper grammar and we love corn??! Who said anything about corn? Do you think that we grow corn cause we love it? No! We grow it cause it sells!
I think these videos need to be renamed "How to Speak Northern Hoosier" cause I was born and raised in southern Indiana and have never heard anybody speak like they do in these videos. I've only had one friend from college who sounded similar. She was from Indy, but she also had a lot of family from Minnesota.
Actually, I don't. I went to a family reunion, and it was hilarious because all of my grandmother's siblings and their kids all spoke like that. I noticed it within 5 minutes of getting there.
One thing we do NOT do is speak with that stupid Minnesotan accent. No one in Indiana says "wanna come with". I have a sister in Minnesota and this is common place there. If anyone in Indiana is saying it, it has to be a northern thing. This didn't sound at all Indiana to me. Except for the Meijer's and Kroger's. I can't believe they didn't mention the one I hear the most which is ending Illinois with the ending "s" sound.
Yeah, lived in Indiana all my life & I totally talk like this! Hahaha! Oh, & yeah I do love corn & obsessed with finding it on the cob in the summer! I'm not kidding either! I fit the Hoosier stereotype to a T expect the hick part!
Omg! I was born and raised here and i can honestly say I've NEVER made a special trip for corn.... I eat as much corn as some one from the west coast. Also, the only people I know that say supper are senior citizens. This is not how the majority of us Hoosiers speak. I'm actually kind of offended...
I think this is more northern Indiana than middle or southern indiana. I'm from the northern parts and I find almost nothing different from the way I speak from the way the people on this video speak.
hows come!? really thats giving us hoosiers a bad rep.. and corn.. ahh Really. and know's. seriously come on.. I don't even think you were even raised in Indiana..
Interesting. It almost sounds kind of like a hick language. I lived in Indiana for 4 years (in Crown Point for bible college) and I must have picked it up from the staff at the college. Strange. I don't know if Southern California has an accent (were I'm from and I'm here now), but I was recently told from a couple that I sound like I'm from Hammond IN. The last time I was in IN was in 2001!! It has been 10 years and I still have this accent? I will make sure to not use those 's.
What is it with people who assume their way of talking exemplifies an entire state? You're a couple of people from the sticks. There's nothing wrong with the way you talk, but don't assume you speak for all of Indiana. I'm from Fort Wayne, not far from Angola, and I have never heard "how's come" or, shudder, "all's I knows's."
@BudDiez4, I didn't even know that Hoosiers "like corn" (didn't know the state was known for corn) when I was there. Good thing I didn't even eat or talk a lot about it
I am from a Kentucky city just across from Indiana, and I DO say "you guys's", "all's you/I have to do", and say business names such as "Ruby Tuesday's". I wonder though, what about "You all's"? Because I do say that sometimes.
Then again, how else would a person indicate that they are talking about something that belongs to "you guys" if not "you guys's"? I guess I'm a dyed in the wool Hoosier.
This is great! I also didn't think I had an accent until I moved away from Indiana 28 years ago. Yes, the "add an S" thing is overdone in the video, but basically true. Come on, you's guys! You know it's true. Why did I move to Utah? Because this is all the farther I could get. Yup, I still got it!
really? REALLY? my favorite food is definetley NOT CORN just because i LIVE in indiana and who the heck says "how's come?" or "alls i knows is" what the- who actually talks like that?! this is insulting.
-also the redhead's accent reminds me of a minnesotan--but that may be because i'm from indianapolis and am used to hearing that tv-caster indiana accent moreso than more rural areas
hahaha at first I was thinking--i don't talk like that and I'm a hoosier...but when you broke it down i realized that everything does end in s, lol....meijer's-how's-all's...it was a little overdone in the video [ive never heard anyone say *all's i know's is*] -for me-in any given sentence there is only one instance of an additional s...one thing i do is turn things into conjunctions which ends up adding yet another s to the mix...there's/where's/here's/their's--great videos!!
Ok, I'm uhh... Indianian, and I've never said all's or know's. My friend says all's, but she's from New York so I thought everyone said that. Oh yeah: I freaking HATE corn...
@mrrobinzine maybe it's because we're from the city---once outside of indianapolis there are a lot more variations on the hoosier accent...just go to new pal or greenwood and there are differences in the way they speak as opposed to how we speak in the city limits-i've noticed a slightly more southern pattern of speech
"all's I know" and "how's come"---not so much. I don't think I've ever said that unless I was playing around. But, "guys's" and adding " 's " onto the end of store names: definitely! And LOL the whole corn scenario! I only eat corn about once a month -Katie
Living right in central Indiana I have to say that the "Hoosier" accent is really our Southern accent... The rest of our state has no accent unless you live right up in Chicago. So this really is our "state accent" if you drive around and listen since you either hear this, or no accent at all. I've been a native since I was born 20 years ago, and it's been this way all my life.
@flyer280 I have to agree. I live in "The Region" NW Indiana 35min from downtown, but I travel all over the state. This is more of a Jasper and Newton county accent. If you live in Lake or Porter county you have a southside accent and people think you live in Chicago. Da Bears Da Bulls accent if you know what I mean. If you go down to Terre' Haute in Vigo count it's about right there that you start to notice a distinct Kentucky creeping into local dialect.
@ATLTH Yes you do! It's narcissistic to think that everyone else in the world has an accent except you. I was born and raised in the Hammond area, and didn't realize that it was me with the accent until I moved away.
I've lived in Northern Indiana all my life, and this video is very entertaining. =) I do have to say though that I have never once said "how's come", "all's I know's" or "how's about". lol!
This isn't really a video on how to speak Hoosier. I don't think these women can vouch for the entire state. Maybe from where they're from?... But I'm from Mooresville, and my husband is from Martinsville [born and raised!] and there are only a few people we both know that talk like this, and they learned from their oh-so-hick grandparents. Most everyone else talks pretty normal...
half is right and half is wrong. first of all we dont say HOW'S or ALL'S. you will just sound dumb. i live in indianapolis and yes we put s' into store names like those two meijer's and ruby tuesday's. i just cant help not saying that. Most of this stuff is just stereotypes. at first i didnt realize we had a dialect but now its obvious.
@ulaanbattar yep lol Meijer's. Certain stores need a possessive 's to dictate that they are selling or possessing the goods stored inside them. It's the same way people in California add a "the" in front of everything.
Ok they're sort of right about the 's but DO NOT say "all's I know is". You will sound like an idiot. But it is true about the store names. I have always said "Meijer's".
Also, seriously, just because we grow corn doesn't mean we're all about eating it 24/7.
Okay, I know that picture of the Weber's barn is from Angola, Indiana. I was born and raised there and went to school with one of Weber's. Not sure about the rest of the pictures, but I think all the rest of those pictures are from Angola as well.
Busted! :) These were, in fact, all filmed in Angola. I went to school with the Webers as well and to this day think their corn is the best. And for the record, everyone in these videos is a born Hoosier...
Haha I'm from central Indiana (I've lived here all my life) and I have heard some of this. Much of it was from my dad's side of the family, who came from Michigan, so I assumed it was Northern-Midwestern thing. Now episode 3 (vocab)? Guilty as charged--at least for half of it.
You HAVE to be kidding! I've lived in Indiana my ENTIRE life! We DO NOT use "'s " like that, let alone that much! Corn IS NOT our favorite food (seriously!). Every place DOES NOT end in "s" "even if it doesn't"! And DON'T "repeat after Rachel! No one says "all's I know's" that is just dumb! I can't believe this video...
This is incendiary. I am really upset at the moment. How ridiculous is this? I've lived in Indianapolis for the entire longevity of my lifespan and I've never spoken in the same demeanor she implies that I do. I am appalled and really don't appreciate the stereotype. "How's about some corn?!?" I am sick to my stomach. I don't even enjoy corn to the extent that, according to this shrew, I am supposed to. I don't ever want to see something this inflaming again.
@sbennett14 are you KIDDING ME?! You are actually offended by this? Indy is not rural and therefore does not have the same dialect as a rural area. I just think it's so stupid to be offended...you must have a corn cob stuck up your ass.
@sbennett14 are you KIDDING ME?! You are actually offended by this? Indy is not rural and therefore does not have the same dialect as a rural area. I just think it's so stupid to be offended...you must have a corn cob stuck up your butt.

@sbennett14 Hi there. Indy native here, too. I don't think this is meant to be taken so seriously. I enjoy corn, but I don't talk about it in everyday conversation. I add the occasional 's to my proper nouns (Meijer's, Kroger's, etc.) but never, ever say "how's" or "know's." I think the entire purpose of this was to take a few stereotypes and parody them.

Omg! I was born and raised here and i can honestly say I've NEVER made a special trip for corn.... I eat as much corn as some one from the west coast. Also, the only people I know that say supper are senior citizens. This is not how the majority of us Hoosiers speak. I'm actually kind of offended...

I think this is more northern Indiana than middle or southern indiana. I'm from the northern parts and I find almost nothing different from the way I speak from the way the people on this video speak.

Interesting. It almost sounds kind of like a hick language. I lived in Indiana for 4 years (in Crown Point for bible college) and I must have picked it up from the staff at the college. Strange. I don't know if Southern California has an accent (were I'm from and I'm here now), but I was recently told from a couple that I sound like I'm from Hammond IN. The last time I was in IN was in 2001!! It has been 10 years and I still have this accent? I will make sure to not use those 's.

What is it with people who assume their way of talking exemplifies an entire state? You're a couple of people from the sticks. There's nothing wrong with the way you talk, but don't assume you speak for all of Indiana. I'm from Fort Wayne, not far from Angola, and I have never heard "how's come" or, shudder, "all's I knows's."

This is great! I also didn't think I had an accent until I moved away from Indiana 28 years ago. Yes, the "add an S" thing is overdone in the video, but basically true. Come on, you's guys! You know it's true. Why did I move to Utah? Because this is all the farther I could get. Yup, I still got it!

@mrrobinzine maybe it's because we're from the city---once outside of indianapolis there are a lot more variations on the hoosier accent...just go to new pal or greenwood and there are differences in the way they speak as opposed to how we speak in the city limits-i've noticed a slightly more southern pattern of speech

HeartJesus4evr 1 year ago 2
Living right in central Indiana I have to say that the "Hoosier" accent is really our Southern accent... The rest of our state has no accent unless you live right up in Chicago. So this really is our "state accent" if you drive around and listen since you either hear this, or no accent at all. I've been a native since I was born 20 years ago, and it's been this way all my life.
flyer280 1 year ago
@flyer280 I have to agree. I live in "The Region" NW Indiana 35min from downtown, but I travel all over the state. This is more of a Jasper and Newton county accent. If you live in Lake or Porter county you have a southside accent and people think you live in Chicago. Da Bears Da Bulls accent if you know what I mean. If you go down to Terre' Haute in Vigo count it's about right there that you start to notice a distinct Kentucky creeping into local dialect.

This isn't really a video on how to speak Hoosier. I don't think these women can vouch for the entire state. Maybe from where they're from?... But I'm from Mooresville, and my husband is from Martinsville [born and raised!] and there are only a few people we both know that talk like this, and they learned from their oh-so-hick grandparents. Most everyone else talks pretty normal...

Most of this stuff is just stereotypes. at first i didnt realize we had a dialect but now its obvious.

@ulaanbattar yep lol Meijer's. Certain stores need a possessive 's to dictate that they are selling or possessing the goods stored inside them. It's the same way people in California add a "the" in front of everything.

This is incendiary. I am really upset at the moment. How ridiculous is this? I've lived in Indianapolis for the entire longevity of my lifespan and I've never spoken in the same demeanor she implies that I do. I am appalled and really don't appreciate the stereotype. "How's about some corn?!?" I am sick to my stomach. I don't even enjoy corn to the extent that, according to this shrew, I am supposed to. I don't ever want to see something this inflaming again.

@sbennett14 Hi there. Indy native here, too. I don't think this is meant to be taken so seriously. I enjoy corn, but I don't talk about it in everyday conversation.
