So, why should American accents be any different?<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 22px; text-align: center;\"><a style=\"color: #0082cb;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.listenandlearnusa.com\/contact\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u2192Sign Up Now: Free Trial English Lesson With a Native Teacher!\u2190<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Though we sometimes talk about \u201cAmerican English\u201d in our blogs, there are interesting differences to be found among different sub-dialects. If you\u2019re planning to relocate to the United States but English is not your first language, don\u2019t change the channel! In this article, we will illustrate the differences between different American accents by looking at 3 TV shows that you can stream on your favourite platforms.<\/p>\n<h1>Justified<\/h1>\n<p>Are you looking for an old-school Western American crime drama? That\u2019s exactly what you\u2019ll find in the critically acclaimed, Graham-Yost-penned series FX TV series <em>Justified<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"display: block; margin: auto;\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fjmwhkbjspI\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Loosely based on Elmore Leonard\u2019s stories about the beloved character Raylan Givens.<\/p>\n<p><em>Justified <\/em>follows the life and career of Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens, whose unconventional enforcement of justice is reminiscent of John Wayne\u2019s iconic antiheroes. As the story progresses, his relentless search for justice makes him a target of criminals and a problem child to his superiors at the U.S. Marshals Service.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin:15px\">The Southern American Accent<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019ve grown up watching American television, you will recognize this one right away. erhaps the most easily recognizable U.S. regional accent, Southern American English has been famously (and infamously!) portrayed in TV series and movies by countless celebrities, from Sally Field\u2019s subtle work in <em>Forrest Gump<\/em> to Sean Penn\u2019s exaggerated drawl in <em>All the King\u2019s Men<\/em> (2006).<\/p>\n<p>Though Southern American English is a collection of dialects rather than a single homogenous variety, there are a couple of features that are common to all dialects spoken throughout the South of the US, particularly in rural areas:<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin:15px\">The pronunciation of the vowel in \u201cnine\u201d.<\/h3>\n<p>If there is one feature that will help you recognize a speaker from the South, that is the distinctive way in which Southerners pronounce the vowel sound in words like \u2018nine\u2019, \u2018bye\u2019, \u2018my\u2019, or \u2018thigh\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>In other regions of the United States, this vowel is a diphthong, i.e., a vowel formed by two elements: an \u2018a\u2019 sound, and a \u2018y\u2019 sound. This -y glide, however, is usually missing from Southern accents, which leads to these words being pronounced \u2018nahn\u2019, \u2018bah\u2019, \u2018mah\u2019 and \u2018thah\u2019, respectively. A few experts who specialize in dialects refer to this feature as the \u2018Confederate A\u2019. It can also be heard in areas next to the Old South, including southern Iowa and Oklahoma.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin:15px\">The Southern Drawl<\/h3>\n<p>Perhaps, the most salient feature of Southern American accents is the musicality that we associate with this dialect, a characteristic that comes from the augmented length of vowels in Southern regions. Known as the \u2018Southern Drawl\u2019 or just \u2018the Drawl\u2019 among dialectologists, this phonological feature causes vowels to be diphthongized or split into two syllables: \u2018here\u2019 <strong>\u2192<\/strong> hee-yur; \u2018red\u2019 <strong>\u2192 <\/strong>ray-ehd.<\/p>\n<h1>Mare of Easttown<\/h1>\n<p>Unless you\u2019ve been living under a rock, you must at least have heard about <em>Mare of Easttown<\/em>. This 2021 HBO American crime drama sees Kate Winslet playing the title character as a detective investigating the murder of a young girl in one of the most acclaimed performances of her illustrious career.<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"display: block; margin: auto;\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VfivVH82KdI\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Written by Ingelsby, the series premiered on HBO Max in April 2021 and became an instant critical and audience favourite. Mare, who lives in a fictional small town in Philadelphia, is investigating a heinous crime while trying to keep her own life from falling apart. Kate Winslet, who is originally from Reading, England, was praised for her mastery of the very specific Delaware County accent, for which she trained for several months.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin:15px\">Philadelphia English<\/h2>\n<p>This variety of English is a collection of American accents native to Philadelphia that extends into Philadelphia's metropolitan area throughout the Delaware Valley, northern Delaware, and South Jersey. According to experts, few American accents are as difficult to master as the \u2018Delco\u2019 accent, which is characterized by dropped consonants, rounded Os, erratic As, and dropped syllables. Kate Winslet, who has played a German guard in <em>The Reader<\/em>, a Polish-Armenian marketing chief in <em>Steve Jobs<\/em>, and an Australian femme fatale in <em>The Dressmaker<\/em>, says that this is the only accent that made her throw things across the room.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin:15px\">A Glass of <em>Wooder <\/em>- Rounding of Vowels<\/h3>\n<p>One of the first things you will notice about the Philly accent is the rounded, shortened vowels in words containing a long \u2018a\u2019 sound, which causes words like \u2018water\u2019 to be realized as \u2018wooder\u2019.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin:15px\">The Pronunciation of the Hard O<\/h3>\n<p>For people who are not very familiar with the English language and, particularly, American accents, it may seem like Kate Winslet sometimes slips into her British accent when saying words like \u2018home\u2019 and phone\u2019. But in fact, that\u2019s just how people from Philly say their hard O sounds. Instead of going for an \u2018ou\u2019 diphthong in words like \u2018home\u2019, as people with a General American English accent generally do, speakers from Philadelphia produce an \u2018eow\u2019 sound that is more reminiscent of British accents: \u2018home\u2019 <strong>\u2192 <\/strong>heowm; \u2018bone\u2019 <strong>\u2192 <\/strong>beown.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin:15px\">The Quirks of the Philly Accent<\/h3>\n<p>The main reason why the cast of <em>Mare of Easttown<\/em> found it so difficult to master the Delco accent, is that it is full of little quirks that do not correspond to any specific rule or pattern. These include:<\/p>\n<p>around \u2192 uh-reownd<\/p>\n<p>mayor \u2192\u00a0 mair<\/p>\n<p>wouldn\u2019t \u2192\u00a0 wuh-ent<\/p>\n<p>couldn\u2019t \u2192\u00a0 cuh-ent<\/p>\n<p>Philadelphia \u2192\u00a0 Fildefya<\/p>\n<p>bagels \u2192\u00a0 beggles<\/p>\n<h1>Friends<\/h1>\n<p><em>Friends <\/em>is one of those shows that do not need an introduction. For ten years, audiences around the world fell in love with these five friends whose clashing personalities, career issues, and romantic misadventures provided comedic gold season after season.<\/p>\n<p>Set in the Big Apple, the show is one of the clearest examples of a New York accent and, in fact, it has served as a model for both teachers and learners who wanted to teach or learn \u201cAmerican English\u201d.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin:15px\">The New York Accent<\/h2>\n<p>The New York dialect is a continuum of American accents that run from Boston to Baltimore.<\/p>\n<p>This variety is one of the most recognizable English accents in any English-speaking country, largely due to the fact that most of the movies and TV shows that come from the United States feature New York accents.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin:15px\">The Pronunciation of \u2018T\u2019.<\/h3>\n<p>One of the most salient features of New York accents is the way speakers pronounce the consonant \u2018T\u2019 as a soft \u2018D\u2019, primarily between vowels: butter \u2192 budder.<\/p>\n<p>Flap T also occurs in the following contexts:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Between a vowel and a \u2018dark l\u2019 such as in \u2018battle\u2019 or \u2018kettle\u2019<\/li>\n<li>Before or after an r-controlled vowel such as in \u2018Myrtle\u2019 or \u2018slaughter\u2019.<\/li>\n<li>After a \u2018s\u2019 \/s\/ or a \u2018c\u2019 \/k\/, as in \u2018blister\u2019 or \u2018doctor\u2019.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The \u2018aw\u2019 sound<\/p>\n<p>A distinct feature from the New York area is the realization of short \u2018o\u2019 as \u201caw in words like \u2018coffee\u2019 \u2192 cawfee, \u2018sauce\u2019 \u2192 sawce, and \u2018talk\u2019 \u2192 tawk.<\/p>\n<p>Dropping of \u2018h\u2019<\/p>\n<p>New Yorkers may also drop the \u201ch\u201d in words like \u2018human\u2019 \u2192 \u2018uman, and \u2018huge\u2019 \u2192 \u2018uge.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see, there\u2019s so much more to American accents than the \u201cGeneral American English\u201d variety you may have learned at school. In fact, I would dare say that are as many varieties of American English as speakers in America!<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 22px; text-align: center;\"><a style=\"color: #0082cb;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.listenandlearnusa.com\/contact\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u2192Sign Up Now: Free Trial English Lesson With a Native Teacher!\u2190<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you are planning to travel or relocate to a specific area in the United States, the best thing you can do is start familiarizing yourself with the variety of English spoken there.
