It's a sad thing, I believe, at least, when we lose our accents. Who wants just a bland old Midwestern standard American accent! I don't! I think our accents give us color and character. Just my opinion, others may look at an accent as lowering oneself. Thank you for watching! That accent is still in you somewhere!
I still have my accent Im 15 I have a Cajun accent!!!
@katelyn Sunshine I agree. Idw lose my Long Island accent
XOXOXO
Midwestern accents have their own character. The standard American accent is a hodge podge of a bunch of different reason. You can’t possibly listen to a Chicago and think of it as bland.
Super interesting, I wish I kept my Victorian Australian accent rather than gain a more basic Australian accent when I moved up North.
I love the New Orleans accent... The creole influence on the way the words are pronounced are amazing! Way different from other parts of Louisiana.
They're all better than northern La. Just saying. Lol
This isn’t new orleans
@@bgoat97 when people think of NY, it's rarely ever Syracuse. Frustrating, but not surprising that that never think of places like Lafayette, Breaux Bridge, Opelousas, etc.
harmonyzmyne no offence but you’ll black folks from New Orleans have the best dialect accent compare to white folks from New Orleans period hands down not even close💯
One of the most interesting American accents.
I live in Louisiana, but I don't have that thick of an accent, but go like one town over and everyone has it. It's strange how some places will have that thick accent and some won't. But we pronounce everything like that, yet without the accent.
Marilyn Loves Same here from prairieville but no accent.
I moved a little bit west and suddenly everyone had a country accent, it was hard to get used to
@@lovelyafternoon kpop is everywhere
@@fllama yea lol
@@lovelyafternoon didnt expect you to reply back. What groups do you like?
I like all regional accents but the Southern Louisiana accent is probably my favorite. Especially the words "theater" and "water." thanks for posting this.
Im from opelousas/Lafayette and I knew your accent RIGHT AWAY
This was the most helpful series on getting this accent down. Thanks for taking the time to do this
I love hearing what everyone picks up on in my accent. That's great that I kind of sound Caribbean hahha! Btw I checked out you video and I think that it's great that you are spreading the good word on youtube! Keep on keeping on!
"My husband"...And there went my heart... ;-D Haha great video!
Devastated I was 😂
That is an extremely small minded perception on accents. I have an education and I do not feel the need to have to prove that to you. There is not one person in this world who does not have an accent...if you can speak and you are not deaf then you have an accent (no offense to deaf people). Based on the location that one grows up in each person has their own regional way of pronouncing or their words, or how they inflect certain pronunciations. Understand that Mr. Educated proper English.
Katelyn , Iz ther sum stuped sum betch gevin you problumz ? Lotta idjitz ul say thet it jus lazee english . But thay full a corn . If, they bother you anymore . Let me know.
You do you girl :3 I'm black and white and from Long island and Upstate NY so my accent is all over the place haha I feel ya
this woman needs to have some kind of eye makeup on and a haircut you look a lot better and even with some bangs more of a shaggy is even a little bit hair cut very ugly 😂 sorry to say but it's trueshe may be on marijuana and other drugs also no morals they don't dress with any class or any modesty either
@@anaparada7219 bish whet??
Well said. Accents are not bad at all. They are natural parts of our lives.
Although I do have trouble understanding some east coasters.
I would never hurt their feelings though.
dont know which is more cute her or her accent.
and yeah, it does sort of sound like a Southern colonial version of a new jersey accent or something. That's interesting. Real different from the rest of the South. But this girl has some New Orleans "yat" influence in her speech too.IMO
Not just only southwest LA Cajun.
alot of people from New Orleans get asked if they are from New York because of the "Yat" accent. It was influenced not only by Cajuns but by Irish and even Italian settlers as well, or so I've read.
That's probably why it sounds similar to a Jersey or New York accent
Gotta love those Southern belles!
You must be blind this woman looks like an alien and needs a haircut and some morals she needs to my makeup may be ugly woman
@@anaparada7219 what's your problem .

I love your accent. I find most southern accents charming, but the Cajun is really something special!
Same here! I grew up in the Delaware Valley and have been living in NC. I love most Southern accents, but this one is really unique and beautiful.
my family is from South Carolina and I was raised in VA..the way you pronounce a lot those words are the same way we pronounce them
That's straight Breaux Bridge, Lafayette, Church Point, St Martinville, Broussard, Youngsville,..... Yeah sha!!!
Lol

Thank you for makeing this video lol. Because my cousin grew up over there and when he comes to Cali and hangs out with me and my friends they can barely understand a word he's saying and i laugh because i get it perfectly. He has that baton rouge thing going on LOL . Anyway i loved the video and im happy you made it, It was awsome and very informative.
It's SOOOO similar to a southern accent, but with a Brooklyn twist lol! I love it! All of my fam is from LA but I grew up in Georgia
Beautiful Southern Belle, finest ladies to ever grace this world.
You are a natural for working in motion pictures as dialect coach. Hollywood make us all sound like 'Gone With The Wind' folks.
I am from upper Michigan, which has an accent very similar to Canadian with some Finnish influence as well. I've been in southern Louisiana a few times now and it blows my mind the similarities between the Cajun and Canadian accents. Historically and culturally of course it makes sense, but with how strong the southern accent is, you'd think it would have diluted by now. But every time I am in the Beaux Bridge area I hear a local talk and instinctly think to myself I HEAR A CANADIAN! It's so cool to see and hear this accent and culture live on despite all the displacement, and every time I hear a southern Louisiana person talk it reminds me of home... in Michigan. How crazy is that?
Dang! I really love this accent so much!
Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this vid! I've always been fascinated with Louisiana accents (there are so many!). I'm actually including a character from Louisiana in my next story (I'm a writer) so this is a big help.
I'm from Brazil. I wanna speak like you, what a pretty accent, Southern Louisiana. We gotta keep it alive. 👍
wow hahaha! Thank you! I never would have pegged my accent as being "melodic", what a compliment! I usually am told that my accent is "flat" whatever than means

Im glad that you left these comments. It is very true how we, including myself, do not realize how much we use both languages here because it's just second nature from hearing it all of our lives. SO very true that sadly, the fluent language of Cajun and creole French is barely spoken by the young generation. The culture, heritage, and traditions still live on, but the language is dying with our grandparents, and the older parents. I do have to give props to local businesses that promote....
Thanks for the support! It makes me so happy that I did the accent tag everytime I get a comment saying that I did it better that any other southern accent tag!
This accent is so rhythmic. Can't wait to live in NOLA.
i aint heard "gaaah-lee" in a long time, lol!
I am from Lafayette Louisiana area and I call a cart a basket...lol.....and say envelope (in-velope)
Me too! Lafayette!!!!
Ashley Henry Lafayette here too... more specifically Upper Lafayette :)
Same
When I left Cajun Country I thought my accent was my biggest hurdle, but I got called on a few things like saying "cut the light," or "UM-brulla" or "I been knowing him since kindergarten." And one time a friend was helping me pack and asked if there as anything I needed to put in a box and I said, "You know, I tink dat's full, yeah." He was like, "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?" LOL.
In Los Angeles when it rains when the suns out we call that earthquake weather.
No we don't...
Lol dang
Thibodaux's my hometown! I live in Seattle now: watching this makes me wanna visit Cajun country again so much!
Edit: around Southeast Louisiana, we say gah-lee, but we also say kaw-lee a little more I think.
As a Central Texas-boy, I must say that your accent is lovely. I could listen to you talk all day long. Have an awesome day. :)
I am Turkish and I can speak English. I didn't know there are different accents in American accents, too! It's very interesting.
I absolutely love ya videos, keep dem coming, Louisiana born Louisiana proud
I live North of Baton Rouge but spend a lot of time in the Spillway fishing and hunting. I dearly love the Cajun people! They have much pride and are the best, down to earth people in the world!
Finally, someone who talks right. I'm from Louisiana myself and your accent makes me miss home something bad.
Thank you so much for your videos. -UPDATE- I'm actually writing a story that takes place in 1970s Louisiana, a bit north of the Cajun region just south of the Mississippi border. Listening to your voice has been incredibly helpful. Thank you again!
Started listening to 1 of your videos and before you knew it I listened to 2 more of them. Used to live in Gretna for the first 9 years of my life and probably didn't have a big accent, but now I wish I did. Thanks for posting what I used to hear and what I miss.
Lol when I used to live in Jersey, we called a grocery basket a buggy. Still do. Now that I live in Florida, everyone is so confused on buggy because they call it a cart. Anyway, I love your accent and every time I have went to New Orleans, I've always been so immersed in everything. Great video! 💜
What part of Florida cause I've lived here most of my life and we always said buggy
love your tag, i`m from Scotland and we have a rough accent while yours is very melodic, could listen to you all day :o)
This is definitly one of my favorite accents so far!! Lol i love the Loussiana cajun accent so much!!
Also I wanted to add that this is incredibly accurate and refreshing considering all the things out there about Louisiana
Thanks for much for enjoying!
Thanks, I agree with you. Accents not only come from living in the place you live. I believe how your parents speak ,if they are originally from a different place than the place that they raised you, that their own accents influences your own and it all meshes together into the unique accent that each person has. Cajun cooking is so rich and colorful and it tastes like a rainbow in your mouth! Many try to replicate, but It cannot be replicated !
your accent is very sweet. I really like it :)
She said, "rolleh polleh" 🤣🤣❤️
I'm from Tennessee, and when we're talking about a carbonated beverage, it's always a Coke, no matter if it's Pepsi or Mt Dew, or any flavor. I thought it was just a Tennessee thing. That's why I love these accent tags. You learn so much. I've been to Louisiana, BTW-and fell in love with the land and the people.
In TX,everything is a coke,except Dr Pepper. that goes by its name. :)
A Pop?? Your hubby is perpatratin' he's a Cajun!! Haha
i love accents. My favorite by far is the Australian accent, but now that Ive heard yours it definitely tops it. It sounds like a combination of traditional southern drawl mixed with New Jersey/New York City/ black people and French. I guess it comes from the mesh of all the plurality of culture that has been around since New Orleans was founded by the French.
Haha! I'm from Michigan and I've never heard someone say, "wicked." I've always associated that with someone from Boston. :) Instead of "golly" we'd probably say, "oh my God!"
I really like your accent.
I love Louisiana accents. I'm from Boston and our accents sound kind of similar since we don't say our r's either. It's so interesting.
From south east Louisiana and I’ve been told I have a strong Boston accent at times. I take as a compliment bc I love that accent
Love this sweet southern belle, an angel without the wings.
I love "cajun" accent. I live up near Acadia in NorthEastern US. Also its interesting how different the Acadian/French accent is so different from the Parisian French accent. I find the Acadian French to feel much more friendly as do Cajun/Loiusiana accent. Very honest and straightforward , I love it.
my friend Gavin used to live in Louisiana he moved to Texas this year. I looked up pictures of the city he used to live in and I felt so bad. it's looks beautiful there, it looks nothing like Texas. and they had the festival's and accents and music. it must have been hard for him to move. he has an accent himself
Awesome accent tag! I hear the story about "The Devil beating his wife" from my parents even today.
I live in Denver & miss BR so bad. I lost my accent long time ago. Been movin round the country since '94. Hopefully I'll move back to La.
Happened when I moved to boulder from opelousas/Lafayette. But ive been back since 03 and baby its back
hehe! I had to subscribe to you because you are obviously my Louisiana home girl! My grandparents are from your area, but I do not sound anything like you! Keep up the beautiful Acadian accent!
I love your accent. I'm from the northeastern part of Louisiana, and people here sound no different than those from Mississippi and Alabama. My grandmother was from Cajun country and had an awesome accent similar to yours.
I am from Northeast LA and I think our accent is a mixture of the whole state..I listen to the accent tags from Shreveport and I found that we say more words closely to the Arcadian accent...This was interesting....
I thought North LA talked more like the rest of the South?
Oh my! I love your accent. I think out of all of these videos i've watched yours has to be my favorite.
you hit it right on the head. i'm from southern mississippi and have been watching accent tag videos for the last hour hoping someone from the south would do it right. the only thing i say different than you is what i call my grandparents - granny and papa. good job.
Funny, because crayon is precisely the French word for wax pencil.
Welcome to Cajun English lol
@@irishcajun85 yup lol
I'm currently in Tokyo but i was born n raised in carencro! I miss cajun country
welllllll Im from southern california and I think your accent sounds very soothing and it puts me instantly at ease. I love it.
It's so funny - I live in the Great Lakes and I cannot understand all your words. I love our variety of accents.
Great video.!!!
You are documenting culture and history. I think it is great.
Thanks.
saying colors took me back to my childhood days. i miss new Orleans.
French drops the final consonant sound of words, so we do that too in cajun english
... whateva......;)
You are so spot on with the -er/-a thing. I'm from Breaux Bridge. A lot of people here do it and none of us really realize it because we're so used to it. Everything is coke, at least to everyone I know. Only one thing I do/say different is, what you call a buggy, I do call a basket.
I am from the part of La. that speaks with a sort of Spanish dialect. For example, we say cervesa for beer and banca for bank and autoboos (spelled phonetically) for bus. Truck is "trauoock",roll the r,lavatory is in slang, a pissour or shitour. A carriage or basket is a shopping cart. my mom and dad and grandparents are meme e pepe et gran meree e gran peree. I am very glad to see these videos,keep the culture alive. Me nom es C.R.Hebert,related to Thibidoux,Falcon,and Brieux
Husband?! NOOOOOOOO!!! ;-)
My Dad was in the Army so I have been around people from every part of the USA and the world. To me accents are like eye color, or hair color. Their is no right one or wrong one they are all beautiful. When combined with our personality and our idea's they kind of define us in some ways.I have never understood why anyone would tease anyone over an accent. Your accent is beautiful and so are you. Cajun cooking is so under ratted and over looked and so darn good!
im 23, and yes it is still very strong in teenagers and kids.I know my accent may be strong,but I'd like to add, my accent is actually a little diluted compared to my father and grandparents accent. If you'd hear my father and I speaking together you'd most likely hear no difference, but of course with every new generation exposed to the mainstream and media, youngsters tend to try to conform to that way of speaking. Overall the accent is still predominant.among young people.. :)
Just running across your video trying to find a good example of what Cajun English sounds like for someone not from the area. My mom's side of the family is from further east (st. James parish) than what is normally considered Cajun country, but the accent and linguistic lineage is the same. You actually sound exactly like one of my cousins, accent and tone of voice. I've also noticed a gradual dilution of the accent with each generation. It really bums me out, but that's how language works I guess. My older cousins and aunts and uncles sound a lot like you, some with even stronger accents, but the ones that are younger than me have only faint hints of it. Mostly in tone an inflection like you mention in other comments. My grandparents' generation had even more, with a lot more French sprinkled in, especially when they were talking with other people their age. My mom moved to the city to go to college and lost her accent in the process, but it would come back out when she got mad at me lol. She's worked with codofil in the past to translate medical literature to be more accessible to folks in acadiana. I'm glad you've posted this, it's so important as a cultural preservation to have an authentic speaker sharing their voice.
Also I've always said "golly" the way that you do and until watching your video, it never occurred to me that it was a unique pronunciation. I don't run into it as often as you probably do, but it's always fun to find out that a word or phrase I'm using that I thought was common English is unfamiliar to someone not from here.
"the very heart of cajun country" The way you pronounced "heart" could've told me that :) Love this accent :D
Thanks! Now how exactly do I sound different pronouncing "heart"? Does it sound like "hawt"? I'm curious.
Katelyn Sunshine No, not so much. I hear the R in "heart", it's just a special shwung to cajun english. Like the sharp pronunciation of some vowels, specially A's and also the "curlysharp" L's. Very noticable when you say Roly Poly.
That is very interesting! Now I am saying "sharp" and "heart" and yes there is a hard emphasis on my A pronunciation in those words. Thanks for the feedback!
Katelyn Sunshine anyone know when True Blood's supposed to come back on?
Nope. As far as I know the show was cancelled.
Quel compliment! Thank you for watching and for the advice. I do plan to do another video within the coming months. I know that there are people out there researching roles for this area or doing research and I would like to help them out in discovering what Louisiana truly is.
I am in the most Cajun place in the world, and neither I nor my multigenerational family have your accent. We do say, "Golly," "pop," "buggy," "Maman," and "Pop pop."
IMHO, keep up the interest. Its amazing how many different languages cajuns actually picked up along the way. Theres a lot of Mexican, and of course French, some german depending who you talk to. And Im certian other languages we dont know about.
I'm from North Carolina & I have never heard of an accent like yours. i didn't even know that La had their own way of speaking. I find the way you speak Fasinating. .
I love this and I think you and your accent are lovely.
I love your accent lol I love when people have that type of accent in Louisiana.
I miss listening to you. I wonder we're you are today in your life's journey 😊
A fantastically beautiful girl with a beautiful way of speaking.
Excellent video! My wife's dad's family is from Opelousas. Instead of saying "The light is shining in his eyes," they say, "The loyt is shoyning in his oys." Thanks!
Souther accent is Beautiful Even thoug I was born in El Salvador came to states when I was 18 lived in Chicago almost 30 years Ever since I went to the South long ago I fell in love with The Sound of the South a world of their own Thank You for the video .
I love this accent. Charming.
I want to buy you a coke, roll you home in my buggy and introduce you to my mamaa and papaa! :) Love your accent!
Dropping the 'er' and replacing it with an 'a' gives your accent some common ground with New Englanders, especially the Boston area.
I'm from New Orleans, and I've found that a lot of New Orleanian's have either have no accent or a very vague one.
I would think that is due to New Orleans being a Metro city...and having people from all over living there. The more that you go into bigger cities..even in the south..the accents are very vague. That would be my view on it. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for your response to my question.
I am from Nola too!
People from New Orleans have accents as well. My parents from N.O and grands from Lafayette. I am from Los Angeles. My N.O. peeps say: "Who dat baby fo"; "I'm bout to go make groceries"; "yay"; "oh but no"; "yes indeed"...etc
Yep that's what we say
probably the most interesting accent tag i've seen. well done
great tag!!! lmao Im from New Iberia, and I never realized how different south Louisiana accents and sayings are diffent from other parts of the state and countries.I didn't realize that I always say "TI-YA" for "tire" either.lmao. You hit everything on the head !
Thank you for watching and feeding back with your own accent nuances :)
I am in love with this southern girl...
Aww Sha. I lived in Cajun Country for years. The girls there are so cute and I love the accent.
Y'all have a lot of terms in common with Northwest Louisiana. Gaaahhh - leee !
T'choo just not that accent, though
Im in california and i must say your accent cracks us westsiders up
Very thorough explanations. Thanks for the vid
Word up! I love the Louisiana accent. Its so much better than all the other southern state.
