In which regions of your country are people most/least likely to speak with a stereotypical accent?

[oszkar07]

Yes this is what i have talked about here:



They use it not only in Szeged but in this complete area.

My Grandmother was from Szeged but she didnt usually speak with that dialect ofc she could but I think the main dialect she used was more standard Hungarian.

I have met some Hungarians from that region that spoke with very strong dialect.

Yes I know that Valladolid (and Salamanca) are meant to speak the most 'standard' Castilian. But I think you misunderstood the question anyhow. In Spain's case, what proportion of Andalusians are likely to speak with an Andalusian accent, what proportion of Galicians are likely to speak with a Galician accent, etc etc?

Sorry, I just read the question not the explanation. Valladolid is famous for having the stereotypical Castilian accent. Catalonia would be Girona, the Basque country Gipuzkoa, Andalusia would be the south with the "ceceo"

and I dont know about Galicia.
What is certain is that in the cities (provincial capitals) everyone has a more standard accent. Except in Andalusia, many people from the Basque Country, Galicia, Catalonia, Extremadura... have a very neutral accent that is difficult to detect

Andalusians, Canarians, Basque and Galicians are super easy to detect when they speak.
Andalusian and Galician accents are regrettable.

What about Catalans?

What about Catalans?

Horrifying accent too, but when they speak Castilian it is less noticed.

Most people from these regions speak with their local accents:

-Porto and the surrounding region
-Nazaré/Peniche
-the archipelagos (interestingly, even though they are separated, their accents sound similar, and are perhaps the strongest and most distinct ones: https://www.theapricity.com/forum/sh...Azorean-Accent)

...and some other regions as well I suppose.

Here in Coimbra, the accent is the non-accent xd, standart Portuguese where it's said to be more standartly spoken, but by my experiences this also applies to the city of Leiria, and Santarém, Aveiro, etc to some degree at least. Outside of these areas, every major region has its accents, with localized variants in some smaller areas, and unlike England according to Toot, I don't think they are in decline for the most part, though they might not be that often spoken to begin with, like in Lisbon more or less.
