[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a DMV-Baltimore accent. [/quote] Another transplant alert. The accent are completely different. Baltimoreans in particular have one of the most distinct accents in the country (specifically the way they pronounce words ending in an “oo” sound)[/quote] DP: Baltimore has a few accents— with sharp differences between White Baltimore accents and Black Baltimore accents. There is no DMV -Baltimore accent. I don’t even think that “DMV” is a meaningful entity. A stranger once walked up to me in NYC and asked me if I was from “NW DC” because they thought I sounded like I was. I am. That really made me more attuned to the specificity of micro-accents.
