What Would You Call My Accent?
Ok, so this has been driving me crazy for years now.
People always point out that I speak weird, but no one ever knows what kind of "accent" I have so I'll point out a few words people bring to my attention.
Anything with an "A" right after the first letter, just about, I pronounce differently.
Mad becomes Miad Like (mee-yad)
Sad- Siad
Happy- Hiappy
Anything with O's get stratched out apparently, like when I say no I make it longer or pronounce it like "knew"?
I add the "I" after the beggining letter in a lot of random words like "how" and stuff.
I know it sounds confusing, it'd be so much easier to explain through actually speaking to you haha.
Always becomes Ahhhways
Accent is Axint and the "nt" is very subtle and soft like the endings in French words haha
Add is a-id
Hahaha, there's so much more but I'd have to ask my friends.
No one is going to answer this, it's confusing.. lol

This, to me, sounds like you're describing Nanny Fine from The Nanny. If I recall correctly, Fran Fine (played by Fran Drescher) was suppose to be from New York--Flushing, Queens, NY.
I've lived in North Carolina, West Virginia, Kentucky, and North Dakota. None of those sound like what you're describing.
I've traveled to and through places like New York, New Jersey, Virginia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. The only one I would have guessed, especially based on your "miad, siad, hiappy" way of talking I would have said New York.

Sounds to me like a Minnesota/North Dakota accent. Have you ever watched the movie 'Fargo'?
