I lived in bakersfield from 2003 to 2014. That's cause there alot of country people in bakersfield. Different parts of bakersfield have different ethnicities. You got the Indians, the arabics, the Latinos, the whites. It's all mixed
I noticed as of late, the word "often" is being pronounced, off-ten. When I was going to school, it was pronounced with a silent "t", off-en. And that's how I pronounce it to this day.
I am as well a Californian and honestly… I see no difference between how your supposed to say “Pen” and “Pin” or “Cot” and “Caught” like is there a difference in pronunciation??
Caught is supposed to have a bit more throat whole cot is more at the front of your mouth also i notice my pronunciation of the word cot is noticeably shorter than how i say caught with a bit of a glottal stop at the end
Yup. Grew up with the local dialect that was very much influenced by Oklahomans, who settled largely in the eastern part of town. This was the 1960's. I wonder if the influence of social media, has whittled away some of those inflections. We didn't have such broad exposure back then. All we heard was either all around us, or on TV or the movies that we'd have to see in the theaters.
I thought the news reporter was ginger spice from spice girls. And are we just gonna pretend we are not seeing the the artwork behind the speech pathologist? Lol “I will swallow right all night”
Oh gee. I live in a small farming town in NorCal and pronounce “went” as “wint.” I’m trying to consciously fix it but it’s harder than I initially thought!
Same here, I remember going to high school with the cowboy hat hick types who spoke with a weird almost hybrid of a California and Southern accent. No idea where it comes from or if it was an affectation, but it seemed natural.
I can only imagine how confusing it might sound to other people! Like yes, I’m technically from California but I’ve never lived near a big city or a beach so how am I expected to have a surfer accent?!? It’s just crazy how much our environment plays a huge part in how we’re molded 🥰
There are accents and there are simply mispronunciations. Pen has a short e sound and pin has a short i sound. Fight it if you like but if people get confused about what you want based on your pronunciation, common sense says that's a "you" thing. If you live and work in a situation where people know what you're talking about then rock on.
@@admiralackbar6586 with a Canadian accent, they sound very different. Colt sounds like Cole with a T on the end. Cult sounds like Cull with a T on the end. Like culling the herd. The "CU" sounds like it does in the word "cup"
ive lived in SoCal for my whole life and we don’t really have an accent, we just talk more relaxed and slur our words a bit. nothing like they show in movies though, they just make us all sound like stoners.
I can always hear a Californian because they say "een" instead of "ing" at the end of a word. Walking is "walkeen", talking is "talkeen", driving is "driveen" etc. It's really stupid sounding.
As a Socal native living in Oregon, I have no idea what you're talking about lol. People all over the country go from 'ing' to 'in'. In California this is not something someone would typically do for every case, rather when they are emphasizing something or trying to sound more casual about an action. In fact, the more I think about it, the less your observation makes absolutely no sense. Ah yes, I remember the famous line from Taxi Driver, where a New Yorker man famously says "Are you talking to me?" And heavily emphasizes the "g" sound as is typical with a thick east coast accent
Agree. Grew up in San Diego and our accent and colloquialisms spread throughout the west. And granted, maybe they started elsewhere - who knows? But I find this particular pronunciation grating.

California is diverse. Southern, northern, and central California are different in many ways
And even more diverse when you take into account, race, ethnicity, tribe, origin of parents etc.
I say tomadoe
damn i’m from central valley and my family came here from the dust bowl. this finally explains how i can say hella and yall in the same sentence
As a Californian I never make mistakes, let alone accent mistakes, when talking about the words “pen” and “pin.”
They're not mistakes. Accents are a part of diversity. There is no universal standard of speaking a language, and you come off as snobbish.
@@rebelrangerI think that comment was supposed to be sarcastic
I have this issue with pen and pin. 😂😂 people ask what was I asking for.
@@omarmoran3097 That's so wild lol
Yeah i met this one dude from Bakersfield born and raised and he sounded like he was from Texas.
This is so true we have places like this like rio Linda and placer county and up funny

It’s weird because Bakersfield is country AF….. in California 😂
Yep, I've lived in Bakersfield for 40 years, howdy, how yall doin, purty morning today aint 'er? time to git out and git er done
Fun fact: Chico natives usually say amond instead of almond. Dad lived there for a few years and always heard it lol
Haha can confirm!
all the example words they used just seemed like words everybody says differently.... didn’t seem to have anything to do with california specifically

As a north californian, this makes me proud

From Modesto. Pen and Pin are separate for most (pen has a short "e" while pin has a short "i") but "cot" and "caught" are the same no matter what.
Caught is supposed to have a bit more throat whole cot is more at the front of your mouth
also i notice my pronunciation of the word cot is noticeably shorter than how i say caught with a bit of a glottal stop at the end
@@banann_ducc I don't think we never say the word cot.

Damn I never realized I said pin until these videos. Grilled hard in the south for saying pecans differently
"Californian's" ... So there was only one person involved in sample size?

Cult🙂…… Cult🙂
Bruh u didn’t need a study that’s like saying u need to study New York or the south 😭
Oklahoma is part of the south. It's not Oklahoma and the south.
Mid west
It's actually the Midwest, the South usually referred to East Coast South
Im mexican in california im from cdmx im the superior race
Oh so your a Chicano?
🤦🏾♂️
Stop dropping your Ts, people! Colt and cult are not pronounced "col". ITM
That's how we talk 😂😂
This is weard becaose ot here in ohio we talk ckear an pronounced. No clue what these calis are talkin aboat
ive lived in SoCal for my whole life and we don’t really have an accent, we just talk more relaxed and slur our words a bit. nothing like they show in movies though, they just make us all sound like stoners.
we also shorten our words i think, like our “and” sound more like “en” or just “n”, and “mountain” is very slurred, we don’t pronounce the t at all.
@@normalizeappendicitis Everyone who can speak a language has an accent

It's actually and "eeng" sound. And as another SoCal person who lives in Portland, people do it here in Oregon too. So that comment doesn't make sense
as a south californian i reduce ing to just ‘n
Agree. Grew up in San Diego and our accent and colloquialisms spread throughout the west. And granted, maybe they started elsewhere - who knows? But I find this particular pronunciation grating.
No, it's "eeng" which is far superior to that utterly awful tri-state-area "inga".
There is no such thing. These people have to bring up words that sound exactly alike. We have no accent.
Depending on what part of California your from
There’s no such thing as “no accent”.
100% a Cali accent. Just depends where you are from.
