ESLs can't perceive any difference

>>9527749
It depends on where they learned English and who from. If they were immersed in American or British English and learning from a native American or British English speaker, they'll tend to stick with an American or British accent with tinges of their native language. If they learned it in a non-English speaking country from another ESL, they're much more likely to get accent confusion ingrained for certain words and phrases that may be uncommonly used in the dialect they usually emulate.

>>9527888
Nice trips but native Americans are the brown guys who steal each other's scalps

>>9527936
Or is a conjugation. The complete phrase there is "a native American English speaker."

Though technically, injun speak is a type of American accent.

>>9527608
Remember that time she went on vacation and then started changing her time slot? Or how she instinctively started driving on the left side of the road in Bus Simulator? Well, the truth is she moved to the UK to be with (ME)

>>9528120
I'm a manc bong and get tired of seeing posts like this over the internet. It's quite clear when people say "British Accent" they're not referring to a fucking geordie or scouser speaking in tongues, but obviously some regular southerner or london dialect. At a push maybe someone who sounds like Ned Stark from Game of Thrones. It's the same for Burgers. Anyone who refers to an American accent obviously isn't talking about some backwater sounding Texan, but just your standard American accent from any average US sitcom or drama.

>>9530011
It's kinda funny how in British the southern is the posh accent and the northern accent is the rural idiots, while in America it's the other way around, the southerners are the drooling idiots and the northerners are the normal people.

>>9528269
Northern Ireland is British, get fucked Marxist.

>>9530241
Its because england was settled from the south and america, from the north.

>>9527608
She doesn't? I'm a Britfag and she sounds nothing like a Brit at any point.
Also while we're on the subject of British accents holy fuck Kronii's attempt at one is fucking cringe. Even Ame did a better job.

>>9530241
It's just where the population centers lie. London and New York compete with each other to be the financial capital of the world and wealth radiates out to the commuter belts, but no one thinks a west country accent (example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btEpF334Rtc)) is posh and that's in South. I'm not very good at American accents but I assume the Detroit one isn't considered posh and that's in North.

>>9527608
So where IS she actually from?
The US, sure, but where? Midwest?

>>9532889
There seems to be some doubt that she's from the US, due to her British accent.

>>9527608
She doesn't at all Mr. ESL. How retarded are you?

>>9528226
She's not Canadian retard. Are we in this timeloop again?

>>9530690
Dude no one thinks a new York city accent is posh either, have you heard any inner city accent in america? Not to mention, what about cockney accents that's southern as well.

>>9528138
She sounds American. As a burger myself she just sounds American. Why are ESL tards like this?

My theory is because she's a shut in whose main exposure to speech is through youtube videos, so she pronounces certain words as if she had a British accent.

>>9532889
Most likely. I'd assume still somewhere in the southern Midwest like Kansas or Missouri given some of the "local culture" quirks she brings up. Might also have family members living more northern, like Minnesota or even Northwestern Ontario or Saskatchewan.

Hell she might have relatives living in Louisiana, considering she knows some French.

>>9533017
>>9533050
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ww29p-WZ6dg
2 minutes 38 seconds, she says "Okay we can stop it" with a British accent. How do you explain that?

>>9528387
No she's not. Not this retarded shit again. Before Hololive she was asked this question and said American. Gura talked about a specific brand of Mayonnaise that is only sold in the Eastern U.S. She knows about the philly/baltimore accent which Canadians don't know about. Rrat dead

>>9532940
She has no British accent you dumb fuck, lol. Are people this retarded?

>>9533079
Maybe she's chuuni and thinks it sounds cool

>>9533144
See >>9533101

>>9532889
Where is she from? Atlantis aka Nantucket, Massachusetts. Where does she currently live? Somewhere in the eastern u.s.

>>9533101
Take your meds

>>9533105
Weak.

If you can't recognize the clear signals and accent that she is Canadian then I can't help you anon.

Dilate.

There are no signals. Only in your retarded leaf brain.

>>9533245
>>9533268
Why do you just keep laughing nervously? You can't explain Gura's British accent, you just keep dodging the question. Why are you so nervous?

Sometimes when she asks questions, her accent sounds vaguely welsh.

>>9533375
Your mother sucks cocks for fun? Not even for profit? That's weird man

>>9533453
Your nervous panic continues.

>>9533397
she sounds vaguely scottish to me

>>9533486
Meds, before it's too late

We can all agree. she is my age and she is from where i live guys. get over it.

>>9533643
Yet more panic.

>>9533101
That sound nothing like a British accent.

>>9533207
yo watch the fuck out now check this 3

>>9533101
What is British about this? Fucking ESL.

>>9533101
That's not even remotely british

>>9533101
not even remotely close to a british accent.

>>9533207
To think she literally came ashore to start vtubing

>>9534005
I know. What an amazing little shark!

>>9527608
When she's not hiding her powerlevel, Gura speaks with a New England accent. See https://youtu.be/dBK0gKW61NU?t=517 for this great sequence of "tells": "My bööthday is, uh, nawt my bööthday, it is, in fact, the day of anothuh pawpuluh shark movie. Shaaak movie! SHAAAK MOVIE!"

>>9530690
Nobody in the US thinks that the Nu Yawk accent is posh. Boston/New England, maybe, but Americans who do speech improvement reps don't train themselves to sound like New Englanders.
The normal default American newscaster accent has been the Midland accent (aka the "Nebraska" accent), which was apparently chosen because Americans don't think it sounded like anywhere in particular. Today, the "General American" accent is either Midland or Western, which are pretty similar (the easiest way for normies to tell them apart is that Western accents have the cot-caught merger).

>>9530690
>I assume the Detroit one isn't considered posh
You're correct.
>no one thinks a west country accent is posh
Yarr, matey, we be thinkin' that them thar West Country folk be talkin' with a pirate accent (thanks to Robert Newton's performances as Blackbeard and Long John Silver).

>>9532889

>>9527608
She's from a suburbanite colony in a rural area, so she went to a wh*te trash school and adopted their (light) accent. The wh*te trash accent has lineage in the English colonisation of the northern America, so the accents are closely related.

>>9535210

>>9530241
>>9530444
America was settled from the east. As you move west, it becomes spread out rural farmers with no education. The south has its own posh gentry on the east coast.

>>9534336
Wow she had a really strong accent on her debut. Where did that go?

>>9537780
Noice, noice.

>>9527608
British e-boyfriend.

I'm starting to believe that I'm the only person on this board that recognizes her dialect.

>>9539712
What is it?

>>9539750

Northeast Virginia

>>9527608
It sounds like a New England accent to me. It slips in every now and then when she breaks character for a second. The fact that she referenced Fenway Franks during a stream confirmed it for me. /ourshark/ is a Masshole.

>>9528120
Shut up you insufferable faggot
Literally everyone knows what is meant when its said, including you

>>9539849
How did she reference Fenway Franks?

>>9539871
>Literally everyone knows what is meant when its said

I don't

>>9539919
She's mentioned them during a handful of her streams.
https://youtu.be/2J1976edyGQ

>>9540022
Makes sense. People from that region do tend to sound British from time to time, like if you've ever watched Frasier that's where he from and he has a similar accent to Gura.

>>9539849
I doubt she's a Yank.

>>9540131
Exactly. She is a Red Sox.

>>9540022
Also do you notice when Gura says "Does that makes sense?" which she does a lot, that's when she always sounds the most British? Her British accent always slips through when she says that.

>>9539750
Not telling, but everyone in this thread is full of shit.

>>9533050
Because they have dunning-kruegered themselves into believing their listening skills are good enough to distinguish different accents in English

>>9528120
there's the obligatory bong

>>9530011
Yeah it’s absolutely fedora tier, the same people posting shit like this have some twee concept of national identity that involves queues and cups of tea. Hate them.

between this and Sana's debut, I'm beginning to question how many anons actually know what a brit sounds like

>>9542055
I instantly recognized Sana as Australian but I did mistake Bae as British for a while because she has such a weird accent, until I really listened close and realized she's Australian too.

>>9542387
Also, not related to Hololive but I should add that I legit never would have guessed Luto was Australian if it didn't say so on her wiki page, because her accent is practically nonexistent. I dunno how that happens.

It's not like Gura's origins are that much of a secret after all the cow schizophrenia. Leave the shark in peace, faggots.

>>9533267
East coast baby. Philly, where you at?

>>9535477
>>>/pol/

>>9530634
When did Kronii attempt to do a British accent?

her teeth are misshapen thats why

>>9527608
Because she's from the south and her accent is closer to original English that the rest of the country.

Some words are going to sounds more British than they would with other accents.

>>9544740
I'm from Mississippi and no one from anywhere near me sounds like Gura. She has an accent like people from the great plains or the midwest, I don't think shes a southerner.

>>9530011
>>9540588
I do get irritated when Americans talk about speaking 'without an accent'

>>9533171
if it were true and OP weren't an ESL and/or shitposting faggot it would definitely be this

>>9533038
you've clearly never heard MLE

>>9546276
You can see from this thread that Americans are about the same level as ESLs at distinguishing accents in English, even for ones in their own country. Last time I was in the US people kept telling me I had a beautiful Irish accent. I speak RP.

what you're hearing is the mid-atlantic accent. makes sense considering where she grew up.

>>9545128
Well yeah, Mississippi, Louisiana, and other gulf shore bayou accents are nearly their own thing in the context of Southern US accents.
Some of you motherfucking swampmen are straight-up speaking dirty French down there.

Personally, my money would be on Gura's accent being Appalachian. It's pretty obvious from when she hams up her Southern drawl that she was raised listening to that accent constantly.

>>9533101
Got something mentally going on over there?

>>9546515
Muv-Luv Extra?

She's American. Her roommate did spend time with a Brit though.

>>9527608
I thought Shark was from Wisconsin or something, pretty sure she talked about eating crayfish or something at one point and her accent is clearly a Midwest type.

it doesn't, retard

>>9561631

isn't crayfish place, is cheese place. They do it a little, but that's more southern luisiana/mississippi thing.

Why is the thread a bunch of non americans and esl speculating on us accents? what is this feeling is it what the british feel when people fake their accents.

I usually am, actually. That's real American, to me.

>>9575091
I bet you aren't even from Texas LMAO.

>>9534336
No wonder I couldn't tell what Gura's accent was, thought it was just "generic". I live in NE as well people I guess generally speak like this

>>9533207
Which always puzzled me since why is she so obsessed with being yeehaw southern then

>>9575649
There's no such thing as a generic accent, some accents are just more subtle than others.

>>9527608
She has a light southern accent. Probably grew up in developed suburbs in Georgia, Tennessee, or Carolinas. Her accent is very similar to girls I’ve heard speaking around myself.

>>9575715
A lot of people like the western genre, not just southerners. There's definitely a sizable portion of the country that idolizes cowboy culture.

>>9575742
One thing that also reminds me was when Gura said she grew up learning the word "sussy" to mean "small gift" (instead of "suspicious"). I looked it up and it seemed to be southern regional slang, never heard of it in my life before.
So either her parents are southern who moved up north, or she wants to really be southern

>>9575546
No, I'm from England.

>>9576252
That tracks.

>>9540588

>'english, scots, cornish, welsh and irish have no distinct culture other than muh tea and tophats!'
>'just accept that british = estuary English dude it's totally ok'
Bongs are a unique grotesque specimen that almost seem to take pride in how ashamed they are.

TQ Gura used to watch a lot of Doctor Who.

>>9576281
Not that guy, but in my experience an american accent is usually stereotyped as either a texan, redneck or Brooklynite, moreso the former two. I guess they're just easier to make fun of though, similar to cockney or oxford english I suppose.

>>9576567
Texas is the essence of America. Everything else is just Friends and Woody Allen, and pseudo Canada.

>>9540475
>amerimutts think they speak english well

>>9576567
I would say the stereotypical American accent is whatever accent Benedict Cumberbatch is doing for Doctor Strange, because he's a British actor playing an American so this is apparently what the average British person sees as the quintessential American accent.

>>9527608
If you take enough British semen in your womb, you eventually turn British.

That's how the British were so successful at colonizing other countries, they just colonized their wombs and the rest came naturally.

>>9576948
Exactly how many roundabout ways must people attempt to dox Gura before they get bored?

>>9577045
Sadly, they'll never stop. Surprised that I haven't seen a HER thread in a while.

>>9549492
>mid-atlantic accent
This. I actually think she's from the nice part of southern California, because everyone talks like her there, even the way that she uses Idioms and cribs words and phrases from other regions.

>>9577146
t. has never been to California

Again, cow schizos already dug up where she grew up, there is no secret here. If there were no kayfabe to play and schizophrenia to go around, she probably would tell shrimps outright after getting comfortable enough.
What is the purpose of this thread?

>>9549492
>what you're hearing is the mid-atlantic accent. makes sense considering where she grew up.
Atlantis?

>>9577426
He's right though, California is great. I've been there and it is one of the best states in the country.

>>9582634
Oh touristchama if only you knew what it's like to live in Cali and also gura does not sound like she's from there.

>>9574076
>eh?
You will never be American

>>9577426
>t. poorfag mutt

>>9527608
She spends a lot of time with a British person. If you did your reps you’d know this. His British influence has rubbed off on her.

>>9584187
How new?

>>9533101
have you ever heard an english accent what the fuck

>>9533101
Are you disabled

>>9561631
>Early Gura dropped the 'r' in 'shark'
>Constantly references beaches and seafood
>Mentions Fenway Franks, the official hot dog of the Boston Red Sox
>Occasional yankee twang on words

How is this even a guessing game, she's clearly a New Englander

She's probably had enough British dick in her mouth, do some research.

>>9527608
she doesn't

>>9587445
Not an English accent you idiot. A British accent. What the fuck is an English accent?

>>9588469
an excuse to timeloop back to september of last year

>>9590525
How sO?

>>9588198

>>9539871
Choke on your own fucking spit, mongloid. No, we DON'T know what he means, because British is an umbrella far beyond your retarded ESL mind.

>>9527608
Fuck off
She the pride of america

>>9527608
Wasn't their a rrat that her ex long distance bf was a bong? Stands to reason, if you talk to people a lot you start talking like them.

>>9593938
Then why does she have a British accent?

>>9593938
Also it seems pretty appropriate that someone talking about "the pride of America" would speak in broken English.

>>9533101
>She sounds like a valley girl
>British accent
Anon are you ok

>>9528387

She is from the Northeastern US/New England

They do have some similarities with canadian/british speech patterns

>>9595838
Do you even know what a valley girl sounds like. Kronii is someone with a valley girl accent.

>>9530690
US "Posh" accents would be

"Neutral" US English accent (Spoken on our news programs/in media)

"Boston Brahmin/Mid Atlantic" accent, which you can hear in old movies but isn't really a thing anymore irl

"Southern Aristocracy" accent, like a Georgia accent

All the others are considerd yokels

>>9575742

I'm in Northeastern Ohio/Akron and this is true.

Everybody here loves shitty country music culture

We also have lots of Appalachian/Carolina transplants because of our tire factories

>>9587875
Didn't she drop the R in shark because that's the way Japanese people pronounce it? There's a Japanese game I play with talking sharks and they always say "SHAAAAAAAAAK!" That's the only word they say.

Oh...

>>9602717
why the fuck did you bump this?

>>9602829
Because I just realized Gura is British.

There's no reason to believe they ever met up in real life.

>Gura is a British slag

This is the best rrat you could come up with today /vt/?

>>9587875
she mentioned random foods all the time, gura has knowledge of food from all over the world

My guess is she's in Minnesota because she pronounces "crayons" like "crans", and it's most commonly a Minnesotan thing.

>>9606413
How do we know for sure that she's not talking about cranberries?

>>9606517
https://youtu.be/fL60MVHAZpY?t=1988

Well, she follows it up with

>...putting so much effort into something that's going to taste like colored wax

>>9606681
To be fair that does still describe cranberries.

>>9575906
I think this is probably the closest to the truth. Also the dude with the mayonnaise thing I was born back east but moved to the southwest when I was little my mother will still call it hellmann's instead of best foods so that doesn't actually prove anything.
I think she was born up there and moved west.
I actually have one ss to prove this as well.

>>9609096
>I actually have one ss to prove this as well.
Lemme see?

>>9610684
So Gura's streams usually start 5pm for me. This is her an hour into re village and before someone calls bullshit I have a ss from the start of a different stream which she actually starts the game in her load screen showing how long she played and what time the last save was.

>>9612353
But wait, what does it mean? How do those numbers prove where she is?

>>9528269
Belfast is British, stay mad you filthy taig

>>9612715
Isn't Belfast in Ireland?

>>9527608
Take a glance at the amount of (Dead) posts in this thread and you will probably get a rough idea on why she sometimes sound Birtish.
>inb4 banned

>>9612675
18:28 is the time of her save.
0:55'56" how long she was playing.

>>9612849
But the time she last played could be any time because she might have played it before the stream to test some stuff.

It's the van dyke cockney accent, people do it because it sounds funny.

>>9613009
Nope. Same stream first save of the game.

>>9613437
Does she know that her head looks kind of weird? Like the cheeks and chin are straight lines, so her face looks kind of hexagonal.

>>9614632
Don't hate on my rhombus wife.
it could be worse

I have rhode island relatives and before my great uncle/aunt died I remember their accent was really relly strong. Gura talks in a really toned down version of their accent, and yes it has a lot of british relics

>>9596694
>Kronii
is canadian. There's a clip of her talking about how she had to go to school at -28 C

>>9612353
East coast here. Gura streams usually start at 20:00 for me. So that means she streams from the PST timezone? But that doesn't make any sense. Whenever she talks about what time something is, she always defaults to EST. Like, she'll ask is 8:00 pm works for chat. Although I think it's been awhile since the last time she said something like that.

>>9617746
Because in the early days didn't she ask what the best timezone for her to use was an Eastern had the most votes?
