Russian? I'll kick myself if it's Russian...although to me it didn't seem like Russian :/ too many "zh" sounds .. maybe I'm crazy and hearing things haha

In fact, there are a lot of "zh" sounds in Russian I suppose.

I'm sure some of you have heard of the 'Regional Dialect Meme' or 'Accent Tag'. You basically just have to read a list of words and see how everybody says them differently. Thought it could be interesting to give that a go too
The words are:
Aunt
Route
Wash
Oil
Theatre
Iron
Salmon
Caramel
Fire
Water
Sure
Data
Ruin
Crayon
Toilet
New Orleans
Pecan
Both
Again
Probably
Spitting image
Alabama
Lawyer
Coupon
Mayonnaise
Syrup
Pyjamas

You are very scary- I didn't think I had a coventry accent I don't think I've ever been so depressed.
I don't think I've ever been so depressed.Are you from a nice part of Coventry (oxymoron lol?)? You started off sounding quite posh (not in a bad way
) but when you said "I would guess I do" your Coventry accent really came out. Also the way you said 'Birmingham', "Birminghummm" gave it away

Cyrillic so there is a Ж in it. Also I think Czech and Slovak languages are separate.
Edit: It has a lot of zh because of the word "life" in my language
It's from The Martian Chronicles by the way.(edited 11 years ago)

The Cov accent is the lesser of two evils in my view.
