[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is hard for me to describe but I think there is a distinct accent. It's pretty close to the Maryland/Baltimore one, a weird mix of NJ and Southern. Who else would pronounce Bowie the way we do?[/quote] Exactly. Some of the local news guys talk this way. The way Marylanders say “on” is pretty unique I’d say. [/quote] Sounds like “ohwn” Sen Pat Buchanan is a great example of a Washingtonian accent. Even the way he said his name, Paaat Byuu cahhhnnen. Long A’s.[/quote] This is for Baltimore accent but they have the “ohwn” in it about halfway through. Great spelling. I could not figure out how to describe it. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sa3Tl3t88Mc[/quote] My grandfather was born and raised in DC (the actual city and not the burbs) and this is how he spoke![/quote]
