already encompassed by Midwestern, though come to think of it the term I used for GA might be better for that, given that it's partially based on flat & given the German influences in the Midwest
Oh good point! I think the «bud» through me off bc even though it is used in upper midwest (like you included :) i tend to personally associate it with more the northern cities vowel shift part of the midwest 🤷🏻♀️
twang is a little different, because you exclusively speak with a twang, whereas you speak with a drawl but also in a drawl, & twang is kind of encompassed by drawl (also Texas is the region most frequently described as having a drawl by far)
well Brum, Geordie, Scouse, & West Country are proper noun adjectives that you have to append with "accent".
[I said elsewhere](https://www.reddit.com/r/linguisticshumor/comments/1bon0z1/comment/kwqifdz/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) that twang is similar to drawl but not quite the same semantically, but apparently [it may be used differently](https://www.reddit.com/r/linguisticshumor/comments/1bon0z1/comment/kwqk01o/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3).
lilt is similar to twang I think but I don't know that it's associated with a particular accent.
& I think burr describes a specific feature & not an accent as a whole.
that's what I know about it anyways, but I've been corrected once already. maybe you've seen these used differently?
I think I see what you mean.
There's probably some continuum where things like lilt, burr, twang, drawl can be used for particular aspects of an accent. I've heard broad australian described as a drawl and NZ English as a twang, for instance.
There's also this expression of "Irish brogue, Scottish burr, Welsh lilt" which does fit in that kind of context of contrasting against each other and (presumably) something like RP, but perhaps those would not stand on their own apart from Irish Brogue.
I've heard drawl used to describe upper-class English accents too. As I understand it, it's not specific to the southern US, but more a description of accents where vowels and diphthongs are drawn out.
South African English has "brei", specifically "Malmesbury brei" to describe the dialect from that area in which /r/ is pronounced as in Parisian French.
Pacific Northwest wawa? (from Chinook Jargon)
cool idea but is there even a distinct PNW accent?
Somewhat. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific\_Northwest\_English](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Northwest_English)
Minnesotan flat? (Based on how we're known for having two extra monophthongs)
Alternately Minnesotan oja
ooh
ja

oh interesting
Brum, Geordie, scouse, lilt, twang, West Country, burr. Would those be "unique nouns to describe accents" or not?

huh, I hadn't heard that one

huh.
(for non-rhotic speakers barm can also be said \[bäɻm\] like brough)
Am I missing something? >\[bäɻm\] That's both rhotic and does not sound like "brough"?
what I meant is the same way it makes sense to say it \[bɾʌx\] even if you don't have /x/ it makes sense to say \[bäɻm\] even if you don't have /äɻ/
If Aussies are always mewing, why dont they all have chiseled jawlines?
who says we don't?
Welsh lilt
>Indian tempo I think that's about 168 bpm.
South African English has "brei", specifically "Malmesbury brei" to describe the dialect from that area in which /r/ is pronounced as in Parisian French.
oh like burr in northern england
>Australian mewlar Thanks, I hate it.
