A strong Afrikaans South African accent.

If you wanted to know what Afrikaans accent sounds like, the movie District 9 (character Wikus van der Merwe) or the new movie Elysium (Kruger). Although that might be more Northern accent and an English man imitating a good Afrikaans accent. He is quite good at it, have to give him credit.

that is a most distinguished-sounding accent, my fave next to the stereotypical Scottish accent.

if anybody here watches Amish Mafia on Discovery channel, combine that accent with Bawlmer, Warshington, and West Virginia accents and you have South Central PA.

I have a slight southern accent & I'm from the south but I live in the north now so my accent may gradually be getting less.

Glaswegian, but intelligible. I believe I sound exactly like Merida from Brave (Kelly Macdonald using her real accent).

Japanese obviously. But I've been told that I have a different kind of accent they couldn't quite pinpoint.
