depends on the language now doesn't it
I speak German with a slight Viennese accent (more when I talk to my friends of course) and Italian with a German accent. As to my English accent I'm unsure. My father comes from India (did not grow up bilingual though), I learned "Oxford English" at school and I watch a lot of American TV So everywhere I've been people judged me differently. India: Are you American? America: Are you British? UK: Are you Indian? But I'm kinda proud nobody ever notices my German/Austrian heritage

Western Scotland, bits of Glaswegian occasionally tossed in. Oh and I am bad as a waiter for fancy restauranting as I am faaaar to upfront like simply saying "Duck?" as the first thing when I get to a table with food. Which can sound like other words of the adult variety.

I have a sligh Czech accent, mixed with that DC sexayness. I think LZ mightknow what a DC accent might sound like. As for a Czech accent, it is like a Russian accent, though harder to spot. C-Z-E-C-H

Umm, I dont think I have an accent. I know, being in Kentucky, I might have a hard time knowing my own. My parents grew up more in the west, and because of that I dont have the southern influence. I speak "plain American english," if you will. Don't know how to classify.
