"yous guys"

My face is sad right now.

As for Hoosier...they tried the "Whosyour" daddy with me.  It came out even weirder with the LI accent since we go higher at the end of 'whosyah' almost like a question, which means it doesn't sound correct.

Christ have you tried pronouncing "Louisville"?

Aunt = awnt (British parents)
Caramel = Care-uh-mel
Creek = Creek (like meek)
Pajamas = Pa-jam-muhs
Route = "root"
Caught = cawt
Tiny lobster = crawdad
Gym shoes = shoes
Groceries go in a = cart or bag
Carbonated drink = Soda
Bug that rolls into a ball = roly-poly

I'm all messed up though.

I'm literally sitting at my desk pronouncing 'mark' over and over under my breath.  I know what you're asking but I don't pronounce it with the hard 'A' or like mahk?  Like, I feel I say the 'a' normal, but further back in my throat?  It's weird, I can't like explain it?

Is it more of a mAR-k, or more of a mAH-k? Mark = Hark or Mark = Mack?

This is another one of those words that look more and more misspelled the longer you stare.

It's a Roly-Poly damnit.

It's not hard. Just pretend like you have a cigar in your mouth and 6 Bourbons in your stomach.

"you all" is the weirdest sounding phrase I've ever heard. ... Well that's an exaggeration, but it does sound super weird.

that's why most people rarely say "you all"

Pittsburgh says yinz

Phila city (east of US 1) says yous (like use)

Phila city (west of US 1) and most of the non-south says "you guys"

what are alternative pronunciations for mark?

mark, rhymes with arc, or hark, or lark, shark

 

[JayKay PE]

Waiter: Try "whosyer" daddy.
@JayKay PE: Who is your daddy?

But, the thing in, LI accent is all about contractions.  So I see "who is your" and my mouth automatically switches it to 'whosya'.  If I think about it and make sure it's three words, it won't slur and sounds like Hoosier.

Are you a rhotic or non-rhotic speaker? i.e. do you usaully pronounce "R"

Dammit Miami. What are you doing?!?

Depending on where you are in the Northeast, the "r" may or may not be pronounced, and the "a" may or may not be flattened.

"Lew-e-ville"?  Is that right?  It's a liquid-feeling word, so rolls right off.

 

[Tiger15]

I literally cannot image how to pronounce yinz

 

[Orchid PE]

I think you mean I done goofed.

 

[RBHeadge PE]

Miami has never been "the south"
