AFRIKAANS ACCENT. Why do they always do Afrikaans accents? I'm AFR and very happy about it, but most English SA accents don't sound like that.

Your South African accent is the Afrikaaner or Boer accent. Might be best to specify because it's not representative of the general population. I would've been more comfortable with the English South African accent.

Your South African accent seems to more of an “Afrikaans” accent. Native English speakers from South Africa don’t roll their “r” at all

I used to work for South Africans in the U.S., both from Johannesburg and 1 lady who was Afrikaans (boy, did she have some cutting and very funny lines that I can’t repeat here!). I got to where I could pick out people from Johannesburg as opposed to other places in South Africa in other places besides that workplace, and they were usually very surprised that I could tell the difference, being an American who had never been to Africa. Before working for them, I couldn’t tell if someone was from South Africa or Australia. Great video. I love accents!

I'm south african, and your "south african accent" sounded soo foreign to me, kinda like from Disney's movie "Brave" 😂😂 but yeah the accents in SA are very very diverse due to the mixed culture and different races, the emphasized "rrr" could simply be pronounced as the universal "r" too.. But I still loved the video, from my side it's quite good. See: kzitem.info/news/bejne/z6SBloOkiYR_jYI

I realized that if you speak in a foreign language or accent, you will always have a slight pitch up or down in your voice. That’s pretty normal since we are all influenced by stereotypes of the language or region that we come in contact with. I for my part have a complete different pitch and pronouciation when it comes to accent and languages. Videos like yours are very helpful to understand differences in language culture. Before anyone judges, there is poetry even in German.. Stay safe m8!

Most people who attempt the South African accent actually do the Afrikaans accent while speaking in English. Less than 5 % of the population speak like that. The vast majority of the population have different accents, predominantly in a black community. And if you want to do the actual south african accent, try listening to how the majority of them south Africans speak, oh and the majority are black. That's the actual SAn accent.

I love this. Thank you for putting it out there. I served with Aussies, Kiwis, and South Africans in Afghanistan, and often times I wasn’t sure which was which, until I knew them better. Now, I can hear the differences and know that you are absolutely right.😄 It would be fun if you did a culture comparison to. IMHO, kiwis are polite, Aussies are insane and South Africans love to joke around and play pranks (like leaving me alone in the cockpit of a C130 just leaving Kandahar … I am not a pilot ). I loved all of them.

Very helpful! One non-accent note, your audio is super reverberant. You might want to look into some acoustic treatment for your space if you want to record audio in there. It can make your audio sound much, much higher quality without having to change any of your equipment.

I could travel from my home in Brisbane to Perth and my guess would be we sound the same. It would be my accent that would single me out more so the fact I would be a deer in headlights having zero knowledge of the area.

As a West Aussie who is married to an Eastern Cape girl and lived in SA for 7 years and have many NZ friends I live with these accents. Unfortunately you missed the mark but good try. West Aussie is more neutral with more Aaaaalbany rather than ooolbany and many different words. more cornish and noongar influence from their words. The accent you used was Northern territory Queensland for WA. Eastern States is more drawly and you had a NZ accent. They have more English working class accents and Irish. The NZ accent is more clipped influenced by the Scottish. southern NZ is almost Scottish. Your africaans accent was terrible maybe because it was an English Malawi effort. Zim and Malawi English is softer than the South African accent because it does not have so much of the Boer influence. Spent a lot of time in these areas and southern england - cornwall so have been around those accents a lot 😅😅😊
