Worldwide Accent Project- Kansas

[NomiofYouth15]

I'm from Wichita too :DD You have a more Cali twang than I do, tho. Still, Kansas WOOTWOOT :P

[CarlieTapia]

I live in Kansas RIGHT by the state line of Oklahoma, and my accent is waaaay thicker than yours! I've been to Wichita a lot though and I very rarely hear people who's accent is as strong as mine or my family's, or anyone who lives here... Guess it just depends on where in Kansas you live!

[gettingborednow]

I love it! I just spoke to someone today who is from Kansas (and I didn't know at first) and I really wondered when this guy started talking to me, if he was from Ireland. To me it sounds like you got a hint of an Irish accent. Any Irish person reading, please don't be offended, this is just my opinion.

[Madizzle90]

Hmm, it sounds like a normal 'standard' midwest accent to me.

[jddii]

same town wat wat!~!!?

[Edna13Darkling]

I can't sense your accent, Hun.

[lovexhatex63]

[lovexhatex63]

[moffTV]

Hey just wanted to say I like yr accent, it's not too harsh or too soft. I'm British and we have a lot of accents too, I'll post a video response, let me know what you think :)

[lovexhatex63]

@moffTV sweet, i love English accents! (: and thank you!

[inuyashamanic2]

You're so lucky i wanna go back to Wichita! (was born in Wellington though.) But i moved to Alabama lived here since third grade I'm in eighth now. Sorry i just got excited to see someone from Wichita. Gosh i miss Kansas!

[lovexhatex63]

@inuyashamanic2 haha i hate it here! but i think i'd miss it if i left.

[GuyTaunton]

Yes you sound English in a weird way! x

[lovexhatex63]

[stickmedia1]

[lovexhatex63]

@stickmedia1 sweet!

[ksn8908]

im from texas but have lived in kansas for 7 years and my accent is similar to this one. i never developed a real thick southern accent, and most kansans dont have a southern accent. its kind of neutral. now im getting ready to move to arkansas and i have a feeling that accent will really start to wear on me haha

[lovexhatex63]

@ksn8908 oh i bet people will wonder where you're from. i hate how we can't notice our own accents!

[Counterbrilliance]

Watch out for the Tornado behind you! duck.

[lovexhatex63]

@Counterbrilliance nice one! don't jinx me! lol.

[BelaLugosiisdead69]

supposedly, some of us from wichita have a problem with over pronouncing the h in wh words (such as "white") and we also have a twangy a, plus we have this thing where we pronounce i's in words more like an eh sound ( as in we prounounce "pin" as "pen" or "sit" as "set") thats all i got :) toodles!

[lovexhatex63]

@BelaLugosiisdead69 i hate when people over pronounce the H's! lol.

[BelaLugosiisdead69]

i was born in KS (Wichita) and moved out to NorCal a decade ago...thats when i discovered my accent. it's mostly gone now, but i'm told every now and again it pops out :)

[lovexhatex63]

@cuhrazykidd haha sweet! i love them too! <3

[meandmybuds]

woo hoo I live in Wichita too! It is strange because listening to you I realize I still can't hear an accent. Maybe because i'm also from wichita and my accent is exactly like yours

[lovexhatex63]

@meandmybuds yeah, that's probably it! no one from kansas can recognize other kansans accents :p

[xXMissFoxyXx]

I'm British (English) but my boyfriend is from north east Kansas. You pronounce some words a lot like he does. It's a lovely accent. It's very clear but it also has character and warmth; maybe because, like others have said, it's ever so slightly 'country' sounding but still quite light and easy to understand.

[lovexhatex63]

@xXMissFoxyXx well, that's cool (: and thanks, i hear i sound quite country, but it's not as bad as texans haha.

[chuckydog]

@xXMissFoxyXx ew england.

[FuturePilotGrrrl]

U have a southern accent but not that deep. Like u sound like any body. But na

[kansasocean777]

kansas has country accents!!!  ... missouri is more thick.. dont even get me started on them fake texas people!!!!

[lovexhatex63]

@kansasocean777 i wasn't aware i sounded country? haha. and yeah, missouri definitely is.

[lovexhatex63]

@kansasocean777 yeah, texans have a pretty thick accent. :p i don't think mine is all that country though!

[SamanthaStruckX3]

Ha go Kansas people:DDD woot woot! I really wish I could tell our accents because I mean you notice other states accents except your own state's. Im from Shawnee soo yeahh. Go kansas:D

[squeeky95]

[lovexhatex63]

@GameingWiz no problem (: kansans have a certain slang and most of us pretty much sound the same. ha.

[GameingWiz]

Thanks for doing this! I was born in Topeka, but moved away and in Missouri I listen for accents. I think I pretty much sound like your "accent" lol.

[lovexhatex63]

[ItsEmmalicious]

@Lordtks thankyou :D I love australian accents!

[Lordtks]

Wow your really cute. I'm from Australia i think your accent is cute

[OmniPictures]

Excellent. :) Thanks for taking part!

To me (the 'someone else') you have a quintessential American accent. :) If I were trying to learn how to speak with an American accent, I'd definitely copy you! :D You've got a pleasant voice, too. :)

[lovexhatex63]

@OmniPictures no problem. thanks for the opportunity!(: well, that's cool to hear, I went and listened to how I said it and I can't tell. wish I could though!

and why thank you :D I'd much rather hear your accent over mine!

[bostonteabagger71739]
