What, if any, variations from the standard English pronunciation or accent do you hear in samples from your region? Does your family share the dialect of the speakers from your region?
In the samples from my region, I noticed variations in pronunciation such as the use of a 'drawl' on certain vowel sounds and the dropping of 'g' sounds at the ends of words. My family shares this dialect because we have lived in this area for generations, so our speech patterns and regional vocabulary match the speakers in the samples.
