Do native americans have accents?

Question

Do native americans have accents?

Answer 1

Yes of course. All humans do. It's one of the ways we sort out who is who.

Answer 2

yes, a deep, almost slured sound

Answer 3

every single person in the world has an accent

Answer 4

I never thought about that...

Answer 5

Do you mean in their own tongue?  I suppose so.  For example, many tribes allow membership based on % of indian blood.  That means that a Cherokee from Florida could live on a reservation up north.  I bet to the northerners, he speaks his native language with a "southern" accent.

Very common in languages.

Answer 6

im partly native american and i have a boston accent...does this help?

Answer 7

not necessarily.

The ones that have lived in America for years don't

but then again everyone has an accent.

Answer 8

alot of them do.

Answer 9

some do, some don't. My old man doesn't but many of his Aunts and Uncles do.

Answer 10

yes

Answer 11

Yes, if they learned their native language before English or Spanish. While on a plane I talked to a woman with an accent I could not place (I'm fairly good at determining ethnicity from accent). Finally I asked her what language she'd spoken as a child... it was Cherokee.  The accent will vary depending upon tribe but Navajo & Apache is most difficult to identify because the accent sounds close to Chinese.

Answer 12

The ones who know and speak there native language do.....many have forgotten or do not want to talk/learn it.

Answer 13

An accent is a manner of pronunciation or a way of pronouncing words that indicates the place of origin or social background of the speaker.  So of course like everyone else I am sure native Americans have their own accent.  Tatonka!

Answer 14

Every person has an accent...

Answer 15

Everyone in the world except for Americans have accents.

Answer 16

Answer 17

Yes some do. Depending on tribe and level of activity in the non-tribal world.

Answer 18

Answer 19

The same amount of accent as you believe you have...

Answer 20

Yes, and they vary by region, just like most peoples' accents, no matter what their race and/or language.
