  • More Bal'mer than Philly, and you left out my favorite Philly-ism: Tagger for tiger.

  • @WouldYaEva I talk about tiger in the video called Overview of Mid-Atlantic English, Part 4.

  • That's the SOUTH Phillulphia dialect, the rest of us don't pronounce the i in words like "Baltimore" or "accident" like y's. Or say "uycenning" for icing. There's more, but you're pretty spot on for some like "wooder" and "hean".

  • Ok I'm from Philly and nobody talks like that! You got a few words right like wooder and yous and stuff but it's not like we are a bunch of retards runnin around and u forgot crik instead of creek

  • Needs more /æ/ tensing.

  • OVER EXAGGERATED i was born and raised in philly and NOBODY talks like thiss

  • I was born and raised in Philly. You sound more like you're from the Midwest and you're on a lot of sedatives. This is the worst Philly accent I've ever heard in my life.

  • South Jersey here.. I say Bald'more. the i sound is completely dropped.

  • Fallopian dialect?

  • where in bucks county are you from?

  • What about Jawn?

  • You got the running words together fine, but sometimes the way you pronounce vowels makes you sound like you're from Baltimore or Minnesota. Also, I still have never ever heard someone from Philly call the Eagles, the Iggles lol. Anyway, nice video :)
