You states need to get your acts together when it comes to your cardinal directions :bI really didn’t want to keep going with this, but what did you mean by, “It’s like with kentucky all over gain.

who mentioned it as feature of the local dialect there. It’s been described (only semi-accurately) as “the New York accent, only milder.” More on-point, it’s part of a small dialect area called the Given the city’s geographical location, the actual features of the Philadelphia accent seem to borrow from both North and South:But there are other aspects of Philly speech that are quite unique. They also happen to have historically lived in South Philly.So in Philly, much like New York, most discussion of sub-regional accents is really veiled discussion of class distinctions.I have lived in the Philadelphia area for 40 years and two of the oddest things I hear people say are 1) “I’m done it,” meaning “I am done with it” and 2) I’m going down the shore,” meaning “I am going down to the shore.” The seem to do away with prepositions. No surprise there.TIL ‘west central illinois’ = north west illinois, and that its basically inland north territory, not midlands. Some funny things we all say.1) Gaw-head (this means “go ahead”), usually used when you are trying to let someone go in front of you with a shopping cart or a car. Actual Philadelphia accents are seldom heard in movies and television, in which actors often mistakenly use a New York accent or simply substitute a General American accent. the ‘r’ is dropped at the end of words like Alas, I couldn’t find a clip of anyone identified as being from South Philadelphia, so I went with an interview with local celebrity/cheesesteak entrepreneur I had a hard time tracking down a bio of Mr. Vento, although one site I visisted suggested he’s from West Philly, not South. After living in Western PA for a decade and marrying a Pittsburgher, it seeped into my own speech patterns. You states need to get your acts together when it comes to your cardinal directions :b”?I didn’t find any “genuine” renditions, but here’s a pretty accurate (believe it or not) parody of the South Philadelphian dialect from 1812’s Jen Childs as “Patsy”:Here’s another (exaggerated) version of what’s referred to as “Midatlantic Dialect” that comes, in parts, very close to “South Philadelphian”:Philly sports not only its own accents, but also some unique words (or at least unique uses):Finally, I would be remiss as a South Philadelphian if I did not point out that, although he is a South Philadelphia business owner, Vento makes his residence in Shamong, New Jersey, Wow. One thing, no movie or tv show about Atlantic city has ever gotten anywhere near a correct Atlantic city accentI’ve lived in Los Angeles for eleven years now and I’m often mistaken for an English native because of my accent. The grass needs mowed. I had a friend some years back from more South/Central PA (perhaps closer to Hanover?) I’ve also, conversely, heard that the non-rhotic speech comes from Italians rolling Rs, getting made fun of for it, and thus, dropping Rs.Strangely, I’ve also noticed that some African-American Philadelphians drop some Rs from a few words (mostly street names, I think, like Girard (“Garahhd”) and Westminster (said like “Westministuh”). Could this have German roots?There is a clear South Philly accent if you put certain words together, like “G’down Pashunk Ave to Antiny’s wooder ice, and get a churry wooder ice and a cheesesteak half wit half witout wit wiz. I have been living in Philadelphia for 9 years now, and while I can tell a Philly accent when I hear one, I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to do it myself. I don’t think people from Pittsburgh (Southwestern PA) do that, and Philadelphians don’t do it. West Central Illinois ≠ north west Illinois The people who told you that do not know what they’re talking about Nvm, I see now, a minor misreading didn’t help either ^_^; It’s like with kentucky all over gain. I am from deep in the south jersey shore and I have on many occasions been asked if I was from EnglandIt is interesting that someone from Philadelphia was asked if they where from Australia.

(Note, for instance, that Mr. Matthews’ “oo” sound–as in “goose”–varies in terms of frontness). Many people I’ve come in contact with love my accent (Upward Inflection can only go so far to others’ ears).

We’re out of touch now, but the first speaker I heard use this was one of my friends who grew up in Philadelphia and then moved here to Western Mass — his friends and relatives would often visit (from Philly) and I’d hear all of them use this expression, and it struck me as odd.I spent a weekend in Altoona, PA a few weeks back, and noticed that it was a feature there. We would say “needs to be done” or “needs doing” (even that sounds a bit weird), but never “needs done”.
