There are. Hispanics around Houston tended to use the white accent, assuming they didn't have a foreign accent. And, of course, not all black people in those states have that accent, just like not all Southerners can't differentiate between pen and pin. Doesn't change that the accents are very, very distinct.


There is a white accent now?

There are people who pronounce "pen" and "pin" the same? What the hell does it sound like?

Well, I can't imagine how they could possibly sound different, honestly. laugh.gif

Rhymes with "Big Ben" and "Fish fin"

Come to think of it Okin, if I try and pronounce them weird so they come out the same, it sounds vaguely Australian.

While I've never had great faith in your grasp on reality, if you don't think there are racial divisions in accents all over America, you're deaf. It just happens to be most severe in the South.

Aaaand...an edit for no double post:

Unfortunately, you're always wrong. You tried to divide the southern accent into a 'white' accent. It only shows your ignorance and stupidity.

Cause its spelt N-E-C-R-O-M-E-N-T-A-T-E. I mean c'mon, your really expect us to be able to spell that? I can't even spell commonly used two-syllable words half the time. Just send me a few tells, you'll see. crying.gif

Necro
Men
Tate

Necromancy - Men/dudes - potatoes

It's that easy

It seems likely to me that "mentate" is intended as a Latinate root, which would make it pronounced in three syllables: "men-tah-tay". There is, however, an Anglicized verb "mentate" meaning "to think" which is pronounced "men-tate", two syllables. But I don't think that's the intended pronunciation because that would make it a verb, not a noun.

Let's do it this way.

Identify the speaker's race by sound alone:
Sample 1
Sample 2
Sample 3

Pretty easy, right?

EDIT: And excuse the sound quality. Pointing your microphone at your speaker is not the ideal way to get an audio recording.
