Weird Al and Hozier are actually brothers and nobody knows about it and they have different accents because they are like Phineas and Ferb.

Accent is the soul of language; it gives to it both feeling and truth.

- Jean-Jacques Rousseau

One reason why a couple of my American male work colleagues left America for Europe because they were annoyed by young college educated women dropping their authentic regional accents (some are even melodic to listen to) for this all too pervasive annoying nasal whine. This is not cool. Just super grating on the nerves.

Hey do people realise the “bri ish” jokes are really just mocking a predominantly lower class accent for a linguistic feature that has already been mocked for being “lazy speaking” relentlessly in the UK?

#friendly reminder that you shouldn’t make fun of any accents 😊 #sure. some light teasing among friends. whatever. #but you gotta understand that your understanding of what sounds stupid to you comes from somewhere #anyway I hope this doesn’t come off as too aggressive I’m just feeling a bit irked #we love making fun of England for many things but you gotta be a bit thoughtful I think #linguistics #language #accent #english #language politics #Quinn posts #honestly a bit worried about posting this since I’m usually so positive but I think it’s something people should think about #100

On the evasive Basque accent

We all know by now that the legend saying Basque is almost an impossible language to learn is nothing but Basquephobic propaganda. Euskara, just like any other language, may have tricky parts but all languages can be learnt.

One of the silent, trickiest sides of Basque though is its accent and intonation. It flows naturally for Basque people - even the ones that grew up speaking only in Spanish and then learn Basque - but is pretty tough to understand for students from outside EH.

Most languages have a single dominant syllabe and fixed rules for stress but this does not happen in Basque. Linguist Antonio Tovar figured this out already in the 50s: "The Indo-European and Semitic idea that every word has an accent does not seem to apply to Basque."

In fact, Basque accent looks quite different from Indo-European and Semitic languages. According to the Hyman classification, these are the locations of stress:

[+1] dominant inital stress (~114 of the studied languages) or prototone, include Chechen, Gegorgian, Czech, Latvian, Serbo-Croatian, Irish, German, Dutch, Suomi, Estonian or Hungarian.

[-1] dominant final stress (97 of the studied languages) or oxitone, include Armenian, Kurdish, Farsi, French, Hebrew or Ainu.

[-2] dominant penultimate stress (77 of the studied languages) or paroxitone, include Quechua, Aimara, Breton, Polish, Romanian, Protuguese or Spanish.

[+2] second syllabe dominant stress (12 of the studied languages) include Dakota, Tsakhur or Mongolian. Following Basque linguist Koldo Mitxelena's theories, Basque belongs to this group, the only European language!

For example:

Beriain = be-riAin, while Spanish-speaking students tend to say be-ria-In. debekatuta = de-bE-katu-tA, while Spanish-speaking students tend to read de-be-ka-TU-ta. aireportua = ai-rE-por-tu-A, and not ai-re-por-TU-a. zitzaidalako = zi-tzAI-dalako, and not zi-tzai-da-lA-ko.

Although debatable, many linguists agree that even though phonology changes over time, in words of linguist Steve Peter "there is no, at present, any theory of accentual change in the way there's a theory of phonological change". Accent may be even a part of an ancient substrate, like linguist Navarro Tomás wrote: "On my side I noticed the possibility of assuming the same kinship among the most peculiar characteristics of Aragonese and Basque intonation."

Linguist Álvarez Enparantza "Txillardegi" thought that if ancient Basque followed the stressed and non-stressed syllabe pattern our vowel system would be different, and that this very simple vowel system is better explained assuming that ancient Basque was a tonal language. This theory may also explain the dancing accent - and even double-accented words - of Euskara.

Peter Pan is rhyming slang

I think this implies that Hobie came up with the nickname for Miles before Gwendy

I could see ghosts and the only thing they did was drink tea and make fun of us with British accents.

hiya guys! i sent an ask a while ago, and i know you get a ton of them but some of my asks haven’t been going through so i figured i’d resend it just to be safe!

is there any chance you could make it so the accent color stays the same instead of darkening it? i know it’s supposed to be for contrast, but a lot of the time it actually makes it worse. for example, the accent was supposed to be the same tone as the light yellow of the title but the ask box was darkened and i think it makes it a lot harder to read to be honest:

hope you all have a great day, thank you for your hard work!

Answer: Hey, @oikawabi-sabi!

Thanks for getting in touch here. So, we can confirm that this is indeed intentional to try to ensure contrast stays acceptable. But you’re right that it doesn’t always produce the best results (like in your example). We’ll look into it and see how we can make the adjustment algorithm better.

We will be back in touch with updates as and when we have them. Keep an eye out on @changes for any updates, and here at @wip. Have a lovely day!

Yall I learned to understand the British accent from the magnus archives and I had gotten comfy with myself thinking omg I will understand everything now accents are no longer a barrier everything is good and then I'm body slammed by Scottish people
