I have a welsh one being from South Wales, mind it's a little different if I lived up North Wales. :)
I went to Wales on holiday! You can really tell they're Welsh!

It really is interesting to hear people's accents from different states and countries, isn't it?
I live in Iowa and I don't consider myself sounding different, but when I was first married and lived in Minnesota, I rode the city bus and all I did was say, "Hi" to someone and the person said, "Where are you from?" That really made me laugh! I only spoke one word yet they knew I wasn't from there. Go figure! :D
My Mother lives an hour and a half SOUTH of where I live and she lives in the state of Missouri. They really talk "Hillbilly" down there. You wouldn't think that someone living that close could sound so different. :S
Accents truly do make life interesting!

Well, I'm from Louisiana. I have a southern, slight Cajun accent. My grandmothers brothers, have a strong cajun accent. I don't hear it when I talk.. but sometimes when I hear my voice played back from a recording.. I notice it a little bit. When we go out of state, people always turn around and look at us when we talk... they ask us to say something else. Apparently people like southern accents.

That's how I can tell I have a welsh accent when I play something back. I just get all embarrassed. At the moment my voice sounds computer generated because my voice is breaking. :D Unless it has and just getting over the shock, it's really crackly and I can't sing no more. :(

Oh, there are a lot of accents in germany. Some people say I would have a saxon one. But normally I speak standard german with no accent.
I have a Brooklyn accent, SOMEWHAT. I only have it a little but I guess you could say I have a Jersey accent.

I find that accents are in the ear of the beholder. :) In Ontario I don't have an accent but if I go to the states or another province apparently I do. I once lived in New Brunswick for a number of years and became accustomed to the local speak. When I returned home to Ontario I was shocked to realize that to me it sounded like Ontarions had an accent. I no longer hear it though.
