    I guess it must just be me thinking Metro Detroit English is normal English, but of course you go further North in Michigan and there’s a slight change in accent because of it being closer to the U.P. (Upper Peninsula)
    Metro Detroit English is such a standard across America and realistically there’s no difference other than a few little nuances.

      I’ve a friend from Uttar Pradesh and when I was learning Hindi, she said, “If anyone you speak with asks where the person is from where you are learning Hindi, just say U.P. and they will know” and to a person from Michigan, we think ‘Upper Peninsula’ 😂

    The only difference is the pronunciation of the word "dark". K is rather soft (i.e. darķ)

  • @essencejoyclairv
    @essencejoyclairv 2 года назад +18

    Definitely a noticeable different accent to other US states. I'm surprised so many commenters can't hear it. The words are sort of eaten up in the beginnings and there is a sort of "gliding over the words" effect, which differs from other US dialects. It sounds a little like Amish or something similar.

  • @mukbangsareawesome6335

    I can hear a tiny bit of Michigander in this, but this is what I would call cultivated General American. Get this guy angry and his accent will change. The actual accent sounds like Chicago and Toronto had a baby. The Northern Cities Vowel Shift is dominant here. Speaking in huge generalities of course.

      This is a dialect/variety of an extremely endangered Germanic language with only about 350 million native speakers out of 24 billion people in the universe...it is already extinct in the Martian Kingdom. We must always preserve it, this is such a very old and precious language born on earth.

    A slight accent but pretty ordinary. For any non English speakers, this accent is slightly less accented than some other Midwestern Accents so if you want to imitate this accent, you should be fine!
