@@hiimemily Lol It isn't hard if you are used to understanding people from different areas. I'm Caribbean - American and this was simple to understand.
Just looked up Baltimore accent compilations and I’ve come to the conclusion that it is it’s own language and it needs to be put on Babbel, DuoLingo, all that shit.
Should hear some of the deep south urban accents. I can actually understand this dude. Some of the deep south ones just completely leave syllables off of words lol.
This got low-key British accents in it, the "Mike" at the end damn near sounds like "Mate" I know is more Australian, tbh everything before that sounds English tho

@Ben All American accents have an old british accent foundation from different parts of the UK. that's not special to the east coast. North-East coast accents are actually the furthest from the british compared to the rest of American accents since they had the most influx of immigrations of non British countries... Sicialians, eastern euros, Irish and Germans made a giant impact on the East coast accents
@Ben It's not incorrect! Baltimore accents had alot of influence from the northern cities as well, It's like a Northern/Southern Mix, you can especially hear it in some of their Northern city-like Vowels. Btw the accent you hear in this video is not a Baltimore accent, the actor is British and didn't lose his accent entirely. But yeah... Southern accents are the least affected US accents by non-british countries, their accents probably didn't change that much from back in the day so it could be an "Old accent". Near the coast it's probably mostly West country influence, while Backcountry and Appalachia had alot of Northern English/Scottish influence as well (Some German)
Mike, Marlo, Stringer, WeeBay, Avon. Almost always had a NY accent. WeeBay occasionally attempted the Baltimore accent but for the most part it was straight up NY. Snoop was legit Baltimore, and Chris Partlow lol was NY too but a different type. He sounded like a Manhattan theater kid.
@@themistoklestheodosopoulos6253 actor who played Chris is from the area, iunno tho Chris didnt really have an accent in the show, just talked like a normal guy. Probably part of the character while Snoop was literally just playing herself
@@themistoklestheodosopoulos6253 Most likely the writers/creators tested* their accent and gave up on the ones that failed to sound believable. I think there were about 6x between Stringer and Mcnulty where they slipped their British accents. But the scenes were so minor it probably costed more to reshoot then leave in.
I’m glad later on they got more people who we’re actually from the area. Most of the earlier seasons were sounding like people from like NY, Cali, Transatlantic, etc.
Being a non native English speaker, I realize that when I speak I have almost a Southern accent because all I do is listen to rap and watch The Wire over and over again 😂
That's not really what most people call southern accents man, it's more of a slang than an accent you feel me. I see where you're coming from though. Good shit listening to outkast brother
@@canecarder9800 I'm from PG County, MD, not Baltimore, and although I usually have a pretty standard Mid-Atlantic US accent, if I am home for any length of time, I slide right back into something like this. Hilariously, as soon as I moved to Boston, several people started commenting on my 'charming southern accent.' My mom's family is from North Carolina, and to them, I sound like an upstart Yankee. Us Marylanders are Northern to Southerners, and Southern to Northerners! Can't catch a break!
That's black Baltimorese. White Baltimore is drastically different, but like all lower/working-class/regional accents, it is also characterized by slurred/swallowed letters and syllables that make it indistinct or difficult to understand for outsiders
If you go slightly southwest of Bal'mer, you get to PG county accents, which sound like 40% Black Baltimorean, 20% White Baltimorean/MD rural, 30% standard Mid-Atlantic, and 10% whatever the hell we feel like! I always imagine I don't have any distinctly MD regional accent, but then will sometimes catch myself saying things like "wauder" for water and "imma go..." for 'I'm going to go...'. Shows you can take the girl out of PG, but can't take PG out the girl!
@@raventheserpentine6026 I highly recommend you do, best tv show I’ve ever watched. You’ll definitely enjoy it if you’re interested in politics, criminal justice, gangs and drug culture, urban planning or other similar issues, but even if you don’t care that much about those things, it’s still a really great show. Fair warning tho, season two is kind of an outlier and very different from the rest of the show, a lot of people don’t care for it, but it’s still definitely worth watching imo. Once you get past that tho, seasons 3 and 4 are a fuckin masterpiece, possibly the greatest pieces of tv ever made.
I grew up in baltimore and enjoyed the wire, you could always tell which actora were actaully from baltimore. I beleive snoop was the only main character from baltimore on the show
