Language autobiography

Dialect paper

Everywhere you go the style of how people talk changes. You might not think that you have an accent but you do. Places like New York or Minnesota or Texas, places like them. Even places in the Northeast have very strong Accents. And it changes where you go. In my case I lived in New York for about 4 years of my life. Then I came to Philadelphia. I started 4th grade here. And I had a small New Yorker accent. I didn’t really know I had one till my friends pointed it out to me one day. This is a larger issue about this. People don’t know they have an accent but they do everywhere in the United States people have accents. And you’re judged by it. In the Deep South. There are different classes of dialect like Upper South Lexicon and the Lower South Lexicon. And they’re separated by who had the most control. This is an example of dialect in different regions. Even in the south there are two types of dialects, which reflects on the world. We should try to bring everything together and not apart. Here is a part of my life when this happened to me

“You Mohamed where you from?”

“New York (Accent)

“My home dawg where you from?

“Really I’m from New York”

“Where is that?”

Teacher

“He’s from New York class”

“Oh I didn’t understand what he was saying”

“Wait what? I don’t have an accent”

Teacher: “You’re from New York you have one”

This is an example of this I didn’t know I had an accent and I was pretty shocked when I found out. I worked really hard to get rid of my accent. If you know me now then you wont even think that I was born in New York. Now in Philadelphia I don’t think I have an accent but people tell me I do. I try so hard to get rid of these “accents” But in reality every just has them. Put in reality I that there are accents everywhere. And that is a the big problem. The fix to this problem is teaching everyone  And I tried to fix this problem, but to no avail. My teachers laughed it my face. Another scence in my life is

Dawg I bet I can beat you in any sport of there.

Dude come on me and my boys would destroy you in anything.
