Does Arkansas People have a accents?

Just want to know?

not really, people ask me if i'm from up north because i don't have an accent but i've lived here my whole life.

that might be the people from south of arkansas that thinks u r from the north...i go down south and they think i am from the north and i go up north and they think i am from the south.......just a thought

possibly, or maybe because our school teachers never let us get away with saying aint or other so called southern words. since i moved here i have picked a few of them.

We don't have accents here, it's just everybody else that talks funny !!!

i was gonna say that when union posted and thought...well, don't want to hurt anyone's feelings.. but a true arky..........Does Arkansas People have a accents? God bless em.......coz i am about as close in being one as i can be...lol...

did I read this on Jonesboro Topix..course we have an accent-these "Yankees" here cannot understand half of what we say--hehehe

words like "twiced" get em bad.

but ya know, words get them alot, in KY a "poke" is a sack you put stuff in

What made it popular to them yanks is Jeff Foxworthy's skit on words. jeetyet? No, but if you have a sandwich, that would be fine.

carry me to the store? Can't, not enough gas in the truck.

Hoopdee= truck

My family back in MI make fun of me when I talk.

Hey, we use the word "poke" up here too, "pig in a poke", let's have some "poke salad" for supper. Not exclusive to farther south, LOL. Also the old timers used words up here like "zinc" for sink, but I haven't heard it for many years now. I think it was a more rural, country word than an area exclusive. There's plenty more, just "cain't" think of them "rat" now, LOL!

Something else you here that you don't up north is the use of your middle name from yo mama,

When she's called you for the 4th time or you done something you surely regret. And She found it out.

spittin is my middle name lol.............

LOL Kendra

I think Arkansas Accents is sexy/Pretty myself....lol
