Does the Minnesota accent sound Irish?

[Sikeliot]

Not really. It shows very Scandinavian influences, much like the the one from Upper Michigan and Northern Wisconsin.

Speaking as someone who was born and raised in Central Wisconsin, our accent are more of the stereotypical Midwestern twang.

Do you sound like Sarah Palin?

Thank every known deity no. I have a very General American accent, aside from using Wisconsinite colloquialisms and stretching out the vowels of my words when I speak. Since I live in the South now though, my accent has become more Southern sounding and I've been told that I sound like I'm from Virginia.

Too nasal and not lilting enough.

No it sounds annoying as hell, tbh. It sounds very nasally and unattractive, even on women. While Irish sounds beautiful and makes my heart melt.

The Ulster accent can sound nasally too. Some of them sound American.

Do you think some Canadians sound Scottish? I do. Or rather Scots sound like very exaggerated Canadians.

[Graham]

Here is Novella( joking) speaking. She is from Ulster( Northern Ireland). This is what I meant.

More like an American with a Scots twang. You can here it in their vowels.

There is a part of Alaska that has the "Fargo" sound. People from Idaho don't have the upper midwest accent.

I've been in Northern Idaho many times, I grew up not too far from there, they sound the same as those of us from Eastern Washington. Sarah Palin's accent is from Alaska, not here.

There are many more of Norwegian descent than Swedish in the US. (10th largest US ancestry group) though they are mostly in the same area.

There is no Alaska accent, because people living there all came from elsewhere and enough time hasn't passed to develop an accent.

Not really...to me it sounds like Canadian english with a scandinavian twang
