Not necessarily, but russians are mainly slavs. :)

Being a Texan, happy to hear people like our accent. Many times we are made fun of. So nice to know that not everyone thinks we were born in a barn in the backwoods !!!! Thanks 'Y'all' :playful:

Nah @ladee, I love any southern accent!

Texians have their on style. I heard Texas as their own "Texas history" books in schools too.

I like TX accent!

I have a mix of southern and northern. I say y'all but also pronouce wash as "warsh". That's a northern thing. Sort of the thing about Fl. A mixture.

I've always been partial to a French accent. Not so much the Canadian version. I've heard the old French refer to it as "Sale François" (dirty french)

Though the one I'm most fond of is that southern US accent from Louisiana. There is just something nice about that soft drawl.

Dutch South African is a nice accent to listen to as well.

Oh yes ! Cajun French from Louisiana.... absolutely.. And some truly awesome people... I only know curse words in Cajun French !!

Any said with sincerity of heart, sharing of the soul.

Slavs are Russian?

Close, Lost :)

The other way around. Russians can commonly be Slavs / Slavic people, but not all Slavs are Russian. :)
Think of it as ethnicity and big group (Slavic) and then nationality and smaller groups (by the respective nations, one of them being Russia.)

Lots of fun descendancy & heritage debates to be had, there.

@lostforgottensoul - i like the new york accent cos they miss letters out when pronouncing certain words , much like us yorkshire folk do. We tend to be lazy and miss 'the' out ie rather than say ' i am going to the park with the dog' - a yorkshire person would say 'im off t'park wit' dog' lol
Ive just seen a clip on you tube of an american actress doing a Yorkshire accent ... It was not a bad effort ;)
Amy walker - british accent tip - yorkshire ( if you fancy a giggle)

'im off t'park wit' dog'

Haha! I just said that do myself and "wit dog" sounds so weird. Like a lisp sounds weird.

Yeah, new yorkers, MA, NH, all of that area leaves out letters. Just listen to the Wahlbergs (Mark or Donnie), Matt Damon, Ben Affleck (all friends growing up I believe I read somewhere), all from MA...Boston.

I bet you got a thing for "Marky Mark" lol. Or Danny in NKOTB. Haha. ;) He is my dad's "guy" for his role in Blue Bloods which is all filmed in trailers seen on The Wahlbergers.

The other way around. Russians can commonly be Slavs / Slavic people, but not all Slavs are Russian.

Yeah, I need to learn Geography better.
