I entered school speaking broad Scots, Strathclydian dialect.
Since I was born in Minnesota, I had to learn to speak English with a
Norwegian accent, you betcha!~
Early on in my life we moved to the mountains of Western Washington, jus
north of Mt Rainier, where they jus kept a pounding on ya until ya didn't
sound funny no more.
Moved to the Seattle Area and got the homogenous non country folk dialect of
that area, I can still tell a native Washingtonian of my age bracket or
older (before the Californian invasion) from a Cullyfornian. I still drop
into the mountain dialect, especially if someone is being more contrary than
is healthy towards me or mine.
Cullyfornian. Both Southern LA LA Land and Central Coast.
When I tell someone they sound funny, I mean it!
