I'm from Milwaukee and went to university up in Eau Claire. I never heard pop in the east but its very mixed in the western half of the state. If not leaning heavily on pop
Northern WI accent is a lot different. No one says soda up here. Its always pop. And I have never heard anyone say bubbler or stopngo lights. And it is almost all Scandinavian up here. What, are they basing the whole state off of Milwaukee?
I'm from Eau Claire. We do say Pop, and Bubbler. I heard my Grandma (from Ripon) call them Stop&Go lights. My own pet peve is TV sportscasters pronouncing it WESconsin.
When I was young I spent summers at my grandparents dairy farm near Lake Superior with my cousins to help out on the farm. All of their neighbors were from Norway and Sweden. Even those that didn't speak a Nordic language had a strong Scandinavian accent
I think you can see a slight generational shift honestly. Some of the younger ones in the video (as well as from my own experience) tend to have less of a pronounced upper midwest accent. It's not like it's not there, and it obviously varies but the distinct Wisconsin accent is far more pronounced in older people. Other factors I've noticed are location. In Milwaukee people tend to be a bit more neutral with their accent whereas when you leave the city and visit smaller towns, you'll notice a Wisconsin accent that is a lot more distinct and heavy. Also, I've never really heard anyone around here say pop. My friend from Michigan says pop though.
Milwaukee girl 1954-1973 here! Irish family here & Polish Grandma...still a linguistic mess...sooo many good memories..hey where is the bubbler...da' Bears...
I met a girl at the university who was from southeastern Wisconsin and I noticed that she pronounced words like "bag" and "tag" like "beg" and "teg". I thought it was so peculiar but brushed it off and thought maybe it was just her own weird prpnounciation. However, just recently, I visited her and her family up in Wisconsin and noticed that many people have the same accent! I was with her at a local restaurant when I asked the waitress whether or not this little tin rooster was for sale. She looked around the decorative rooster for a while and then said "You know, I'm not sure. There's no teg on it." I could not hide my shock and glee. I looked at my other friend (who lives near me in Missouri) and we exchanged surprised facial expressions. The waitress looked confused but I explained to her the situation and she said "well... how do you say it?" and I said, "I pronounce it 'tag'". and she said, "Yeah. 'Teg.' that's what I said." It was truly a funny moment! My Wisconsinite friend never realized that she had a different accent, and neither did the local waitress until I pointed it out!
Interesting with the "bagel". I had an out of state person tell me we say "bag" differently. I once said I was going to "pack my bags" when I was going to go somewhere and she thought that was definitely a wisconsin phrase. I pronounce "bag" like "back" she said they pronounce it more like "bake"
I never even notice the accent at all. I’m originally from Gurnee, Illinois. I do lived in Door County Wisconsin for many years. My accent is about the same.
Back in 1966,when I was a young, black, lad of 11 1/2 I moved to San Diego, California from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Everyone there said I talked funny. Apparently I had a Wisconsin accent. I wish I could have been recorded because I have no idea of what I really sounded like . After 46 years, I have no accent. I am sometimes reminded of names used like bubbler for water fountain, pop for soda, and dustbin used for trash can.
You can tell that the girl in the red and blue sweater is really enjoying the interview.. the way she said Wisconsin screams pride in the state.. I can dig it! Love me my Wis-con-sin!
I'm not born in Wisconsin but my accet is from Wisconsin one day on vacations down by Arizona the lady at the restaurant told me after a few words " you're from Wisconsin don't you" I said how do you know? Your accent she said!!!
I live in kenosha an the "bubbler" is most commonly referred to as a water fountain, and stop lights are stop lights, and I've seen "soda pop" but I feel like just soda is more common
I remember i was born in Oshkosh and lived there until the end of my second grade year. I remember calling it a "bubbler". We moved down to south east wisconsin in Kenosha, and i was made fun of because they call it a water fountain.
Mill-Wa-Key (Milwaukee), soda (Milwaukee county and the surrounding cities SE), stop light or the light, coo-pon (Coupon), fountain or bubbler, dat (that), ay, yahh-no (You know), by (Stop by, going by, went by), Pak-erz (Packers), Like'um (Like them), sh-no (Snow), shopping kart, remote, real quick (let me get that real quick, come over real quick), Don't-cha-know, brAtz (bratwurst), Wess-con-sin or Wiss-con-sin (Wisconsin). I'm from Milwaukee & Wisconsin dairy is great!
They should have gone further north, I'm from there. It gets a lot more kind of Canadian. Like giving directions to someone would be, "Ya go trew dem dere lights. Go left and go to root tirty nine." Bag is said with the a is long. I can go on and on. I'm in Florida now, but it's unique and I can say Wisconsin is a real close tight knit, help your neighbors type of place. I miss it, but its way too cold!
im from wisconsin and ive lived for 10 years than i moved to south dakota and its all different now ive said soda they all call it pop stop and go lights are just stoplights ive never anyone say real quick once and bubblers are just water fountain
Heh, I never actually thought about German ancestry being in Wisconsin. Last name aside, it might be why I'm finding German a lot easier to pronounce than French. Too much sing-songy-ness in Latin languages (or at least in French). I like my words to end in hard syllables that don't constantly blend into other words. Never actually acknowledged the "z" sound in words ending in "s" either. Also, I can't recall ever saying stop and go lights, pop, or bubbler. Though I lived up north in Woodruff away from Milwaukee.
I'm a Southerner: I grew up in Southern Virginia, and now I live in Southern British Columbia. I have been through Wisconsin dozens of times, and the people are fantastic. Always stopped at the Burger King in Wisconsin Dells. A big shout out to German Wisconsiners: Mach's gut ! 31.5.15
Being from La Crosse, Wisconsin, I used to say 'pop' and 'bubbler' all the time. I've trained myself to say 'soda' and 'drinking fountain' now. I think I'm still too entrenched to hear the 'rainbow' difference however. 'Bag,' 'bagel' and 'sorry' all seem to be pronounced both ways in La Crosse. And I've always thought the tell tale sign you weren't from Wisconsin is if you pronounced it 'wiskhonsin.' Fun stuff
I’m central-ish Wisconsin, originally from Merrill. It’s funny how I am actually part German and they added a couple of pictures through 1870-1950, dedicated to people from Germany.
I live up north. And get a lot of questions about my accent. Like for ex. I have meetme app and go live and when I talk and say specific words they be like say that again lol they be like ur from Wisconsin lol
I am from a small town in Northeast Wisconsin. A lot of people here have relaxed slow simple (some would say redneck farmer) way of speaking. Native Americans have a different accent too and I sometimes catch myself doing a bit of a Native accent sub consciously. From time to time I hear "eh" too. I have friends from across the states and they notice my accent all the time. I have a friend from Alberta, Canada and I can't even tell she has an accent. But everyone has accents and they're awesome.
Yes, but if this is meant to be showing off "the Wisconsin accent", it's still a mistake. You wouldn't show off the accents of the British Midlands and just randomly have an Italian guy who moved there a few years ago pop up in the middle of it.
I'm from Glasgow Scotland I play these kids from Wisconsin on Xbox Live and they say a lot of ppl in Wisconsin say " hey y'all " a lot. Hey Y'AAALLL. Y'AAALL Y'AAALL. Damn I'll hear that drifting off to sleep tonight.
in milwaukee we say it like moot, but if you study linguistics, you know milwaukee is a linguistic island and we say things differently from people up north
Ok maybe it is just me but who says they need to visit the tyme machine? This was the one that everyone found really strange when I moved. Even after being out of WI for ten years still have that accent.
Jennie Dudziak I say that too. I call it a tyme machine. My ex bf from MN looked at me so weirdd when I called it that once, then he said it was old, but cute hahahha.
I'm from Prentice Wi which is about 4-5 hrs from Canada. And there is a small accent but not like its being put out here. Get people from all over Wi if you'er going to test the accent.
Nice attribute to a concept. err no?! Why wasn't your control from another part of Wisconsin? So you interviewed a selected group from the Madison area, then based a study? That constitutes WI? Geesh, pickens must be slim in terms of research. I would have thought more.
Barley pop, barley pop that naughty, naughty water. Barley pop can make a man do things he hadn't oughter. The more you drink, the more you think your a fighter and a lover. Barley pop that awful stuff, I guess I'll have another.
Okay, redhaired boy second from the end of the line up? I missed where he was from in the beginning and I kept thinking, he can not from WI calling is Coke... and then I went back to check, TADA only been in WI for 4 1/2 years
I live on the south side of Milwaukee and I call them traffic lights. I literally have never heard a single person call them stop n go lights in my life until now. "Stop n go lights" sounds like something a toddler would say.
yeah, i know what you mean. I am from milwaukee so i know how to say it but yeah others will think it's a bit odd probably. Now that i live in england most of them think my accent is odd but i don't see it... lol
Rooof or ruff? (like tough) Creek or crick? And BUBBLER just makes sense! Yah, I'll meetcha down by da river dere, hey! :-) I now live in Texas and it drives me NUTS when they pronounce everything on the _first_ syllable: INsurance, THANKSgiving, oh, and down here it's WESS-consin. UGH. I may say "y'all" but I still use a healthy dose of "you guys!"
you can tell if someone is from wisconsin just by the way they say it people from here say wiscaaaaansin with a long a sound people from everywhere else say wisCONsin

I didn't realize that THE ENTIRE DAMNED STATE OF WISCONSIN was Milwaukee.. -.-
You probably also didn't realize the entire State of Wisconsin has to support Milwaukee
Baron Von Stache Try living in upstate NY
we're not. They were only interviewing people from the Southeast. I live in Madison, which is 2 hours away.
But it basically is
Jordyn Messing no kidding...
The second to last kid seemed like he was from out of state.
I agree.
26 years in Milwaukee, never heard stop and go lights. I just say "at the lights"
I've never heard another Wisconsinite say "pop". Ever. Though I've heard "bubbler" tons of times.
I'm from Milwaukee and went to university up in Eau Claire. I never heard pop in the east but its very mixed in the western half of the state. If not leaning heavily on pop
yeah noone says pop here, everyone does indeed say bubbler especially the closer you get to milwaukee region
In the western part of the state they say pop, but bubbler is really only said in the southeast part of the state.
Zippy bunker is for a water fountain.
We only say pop here in northwestern WI. (:
why the hell did I watch this?
Northern WI accent is a lot different. No one says soda up here. Its always pop.
And I have never heard anyone say bubbler or stopngo lights.
And it is almost all Scandinavian up here. What, are they basing the whole state off of Milwaukee?
I always say soda... lmao.. Fence, WI here
because no one cares what happens outside of milwaukee
I'm from Eau Claire. We do say Pop, and Bubbler. I heard my Grandma (from Ripon) call them Stop&Go lights. My own pet peve is TV sportscasters pronouncing it WESconsin.
Or Wisc-hhhhhonsin. Uggggh
I say soda, traffic lights, and water fountain. I was born in Minnesota, but I've lived in central Wisconsin for most of my life.
When I was young I spent summers at my grandparents dairy farm near Lake Superior with my cousins to help out on the farm. All of their neighbors were from Norway and Sweden. Even those that didn't speak a Nordic language had a strong Scandinavian accent
I never heard stop n go lights before..
I have, I didn't hear that others called it any different till I was in 7th grade. Possibly just my area who knows
I call it traffic signals
I'm from California and is it weird that I don't hear any particular accent they sound the same as all my friends and family -_-
I lived on the north side of Milwaukee all my life and I never heard anybody call the bubbler a water fountain.
I think you can see a slight generational shift honestly. Some of the younger ones in the video (as well as from my own experience) tend to have less of a pronounced upper midwest accent. It's not like it's not there, and it obviously varies but the distinct Wisconsin accent is far more pronounced in older people. Other factors I've noticed are location. In Milwaukee people tend to be a bit more neutral with their accent whereas when you leave the city and visit smaller towns, you'll notice a Wisconsin accent that is a lot more distinct and heavy.

+rachaelkoger I'm from Pittsburgh originally and live in Appleton, you guys say "bag" like "behg"! But I hear that I have an accent all the time!
Bayg.
I got a lot of flack for the way I said it in Texas
I never even notice the accent at all. I’m originally from Gurnee, Illinois. I do lived in Door County Wisconsin for many years. My accent is about the same.

Gotta love those stop and go lights!

I can't hear any accent with only one word. why not have them say whole sentences?
I say both rowt and root (route) depending on the context
Same. Rowt if it's a verb and root if it's a noun.
my left ear loved some of this.
It always depends on where you go. I live in central. There its more easier to understand. In the North and South their accents are more thick.
I grew up in Madison. Milwaukee was pronounced Ma-Walk-ee. Or just shortened to M'walk-ee
I live in kenosha an the "bubbler" is most commonly referred to as a water fountain, and stop lights are stop lights, and I've seen "soda pop" but I feel like just soda is more common
Milwaukee and southeast Wisconsin is a mixture of dialect from around the state.accents change dramatically as you travel north and west in the state.
I've lived in Wisconsin my whole life, and I've never called soda "pop"
Same with me
+Potterheaded Pegasister They say pop the closer you get to the Minnesota border is what I heard.
+Caryn Schwengel I would have to personally disagree. I live fairly close to the Minnesota border and no-one I know here says pop
+Tosha D. Eau Claire, Osseo...
Caryn Schwengel grew up about 20 min South of osseo noone says pop here 😃
Whenever I travel outside of wisconsin people are always like "oh! You sound like your from wisconsin"
I experienced this the first time I went south, as I asked where the bubbler was, and they said do you mean the water fountian?
My grandma from Wisconsin would say "un nee yun" instead of "onion" we used to always laugh about that lol.

@@Jivvi I watched it, thanks for that.
@@chefmike4414 Definitely not a Wisconsin accent, but I thought it was pretty funny.

The funny thing is I'm from Richfield, WI and these people sound 100% like I do 😂
I fell asleep when the professor starting talking.
He could easily pass for sounding Australian, which I thought was very interesting.
We say drinking fountain in Australia and traffic lights.
The wisconsin accent it pretty neutral and most of the words used are similar in Australia.
Amazing
im from wisconsin and ive lived for 10 years than i moved to south dakota and its all different now ive said soda they all call it pop stop and go lights are just stoplights ive never anyone say real quick once and bubblers are just water fountain

More and more do i love my state. Language is awesome.
I was to Vegas and the said we drag on our vowels
Do u have a TYME Machine here?
I was born in Beloit in 1951 and always called it POP and bubbler
How do they say root? Does it rhyme with route / moot, or with foot / soot?
I’m central-ish Wisconsin, originally from Merrill. It’s funny how I am actually part German and they added a couple of pictures through 1870-1950, dedicated to people from Germany.

It's pop, stop lights, water fountain, and bag like the letter "a"
no its not

nope
In Wisconsin we don`t say soda we say pop...

I like the nordern accent dey got up der ya know.It just sounds so good dont ya know
i'm English and the Wisconsin accent just sounds Canadian to me
To me they're all just foreign.
We're pretty much the Canada of the US
GriefTourist lol They even sound Canadian to me and I'm from the place lol.
GriefTourist we do thats why XD
I live in wisconsin but the most canadian accented staed is a wisconsinite living in northern minnesota
I'm a few moments in, having wadsworthed it, but I'm getting the impression the ginger guy in the blue shirt isn't a native.
Yeah. An imposter.
These days, I get the impression many people living in South East Wisconsin are not native to Wisconsin. Just a thought
Yes, but if this is meant to be showing off "the Wisconsin accent", it's still a mistake.
You wouldn't show off the accents of the British Midlands and just randomly have an Italian guy who moved there a few years ago pop up in the middle of it.
I didn't even notice my accent until I moved to L.A and people started commenting on it.
I live in Waupaca and I have NEVER heard anyone speak a "Wisconsinite" accent no matter where I am in the state. :/
Cause you live their dumbass
I'm from Glasgow Scotland I play these kids from Wisconsin on Xbox Live and they say a lot of ppl in Wisconsin say " hey y'all " a lot. Hey Y'AAALLL. Y'AAALL Y'AAALL. Damn I'll hear that drifting off to sleep tonight.
i like that the linguistics professor called english american. now thats some patriotism. he said "american language newspapers." lmao

I'm from northeastern Illinois and I go to Kalahari every once in a while. It's basically our go to place because our states are lowkey tight no homo.
for sure
I spos you are correct about this.
Anybody find it funny that a professor of linguistics refers to the "American language" at 2:04?
He's talking about the language we speak I don't know why it would be funny
Linguistics not language. I think he’s talking about the accent group
It's "Q Pon" at least on the west coast
Nice attribute to a concept. err no?! Why wasn't your control from another part of Wisconsin? So you interviewed a selected group from the Madison area, then based a study? That constitutes WI? Geesh, pickens must be slim in terms of research. I would have thought more.

Never even realized that I always say the Bearz and that nobody else calls them stop and go lights. Just though that was normal.
Took me the first 12 years of my life to hear any different. My town is pretty fcked up on some things though, such as THEE-A-ter vs theater is 50 50.
I was born in raised in Massachusetts, but my mom is from Wisconsin. So, I have a weird cross of both accents. :P
I live on the south side of Milwaukee and I call them traffic lights. I literally have never heard a single person call them stop n go lights in my life until now. "Stop n go lights" sounds like something a toddler would say.
Been and know where footville is it's west of janesville in rock cty
Am I the only one who was bothered by him pronouncing Milwaukee as MILwauKEE and not as MAwauKAE
I live there and I can assure you, Its MILwauKEE lol
+Olivia Devendorf I'm from Wisconsin and say ma-waukee lol
i also live there and its definitely Mil-waukee
Mah wau kee. No L in that word
You don’t pronounce the l
The accent is pronounced! My partner can tell I'm doing it--especially comes out when I'm talkin to relatives!!
Ask that person to say "Shawano" and your mind will be blown to smithereens ;)
I've heard stop and go light in my life or bubbler. I have literally never heard anyone say that. We mostly say pop not "soda"
it's the polish/german mix
It's bubbler whenever I see my cousins they say water fountain/drinking fountain when I always say bubbler
North Wisconsin is WAAAY different!
Wait wait waittt are u telling me that wisconsin has an accent whatttt
yeah, i know what you mean. I am from milwaukee so i know how to say it but yeah others will think it's a bit odd probably. Now that i live in england most of them think my accent is odd but i don't see it... lol
Im from milwaukee and ive never heard anyone in my life say stop and go lights, it just sounds so stupid. But people do say bubbler.
thats because you spend too much time on video games
I live in wisconsin too and ive never heard Stop and go lights or pop or Bubbler
thats because you spend too much time in the shadows you ninja
not really
It's probably because you live in a large city. When I moved to Madison, I started using traffic lights.
"Drinking fountain" sounds hoity-toity, and just plain "fountain" is something dogs drink out of and wade around in.
Soda also sounds more hoity-toity
i never heard anyone say traffic light in my whole life
we all say stop light sometimes stop n go
WI means either bitter wind or beaver dam--I have that from good sources--now we just have to find out which!
How do other people say Packers?
Omg Zachary Zello is SO cute! :D
I know someone from Wisconsin who says "WisCONsin". Maybe your own accent varies depending on what part of your state you live in.
Rooof or ruff? (like tough) Creek or crick? And BUBBLER just makes sense! Yah, I'll meetcha down by da river dere, hey! :-) I now live in Texas and it drives me NUTS when they pronounce everything on the _first_ syllable: INsurance, THANKSgiving, oh, and down here it's WESS-consin. UGH. I may say "y'all" but I still use a healthy dose of "you guys!"
Menomenee Falls, Wauwatosa? Show that to me on a map smh
Should've went to Wausau or Stevens Point... Milwaukee's so far to one side of the state that it's practically in Ill-annoy...
Yeah, my parents think I'm pretty much 100% German.
Try going a little further north for accents....sheesh. Not every Wisconsinite is from southern Wisconsin.
Interesting
you can tell if someone is from wisconsin just by the way they say it
people from here say wiscaaaaansin with a long a sound
people from everywhere else say wisCONsin
