Why do military wives have southern accents?

lol!

not all military wives have southern accents, thats a huge generalization and stereotype.

My daughter in law is a military wife. She has a Polish accent. There are military wives from all over the place. I can say with a high degree of confidence that they don't all have southern accents.

Unsure

that's a little stereotypical no. i am not a military wife and i have a southern accent!

Godly Reality Check

I'm guessing it's cause you live in the south.

lisab

Not all of us do. And for those of us who do what is wrong with that!?

cwstuffff

because they grew up in the south?

There are a lot of military bases in the south, so a lot of soldiers meet their wives where they are stationed.

LOL-- haven't met many military wives, have you?

Military wives are from all over the country. Those who were raised in the south will have a southern accent.

I was born and raised on Long Island, NY. My accent is the furthest from southern you can get.

My best friends mom doesn't.

Because you live in Alabama.

How dense can someone be? Let me guess, you are getting all your information from a cable TV show, right?

Okay you need to clarify your question. Why do SOME military wives have southern accents....or why do ALL military wives have southern accents? In any case....it would be a generalization and stereotype that *all* military wives have accents. And sure, *some* have accents. Maybe even *many* have southern accents. But many have NO accents. Many have German accents. A few have australian accents. A few Russian. Servicemembers are from all over the world, and so are their wives! It is the beautiful thing about the military! But if you have heard some of those southern accents, then it is probably because there are so many installations in the south so naturally the soldiers would meet their wife where they are stationed.

Maybe because all of the military wives that YOU know are from the south but the accent does not apply to all military wives.

Jane

they don't dumba*s...just because the ones you have happened to meet do doesn't mean all do! And the ones that do perhaps they are from the south!

Kylie

im sure not all do.

Just me

I don't. And I have only heard 2 military wives with one.

Lets see...Born and raised in CA, yes I did meet my husband in the south while attending college, no I dont have a southern accent, lived in the south for many years, and now we live up north and the accent that I would say I have is a strong Norweigan/Finland/German accent.

the last time i checked my accent wasn't southern. is yours?

tamming_the_wildone

it all depends on the base there at n where they came from plus theres alot on a base you prob only meet like 1 percent or less of the wives n only the ones from the south so no not all wives are from the south there from all over the world it depends on where you go to meet them n the ones you met have you met like al 500,000 wives on a base??

Neverender

Maybe because the only ones you've seen are from the South? I find a lot more soldiers are from the south, including my husband and his 4 brothers.

Southern Belle, Georgia Peach!!! my nicknames, I love being from the south. I met my husband in Ga where we both lived at the time currently in TX...still south and I wouldnt have it any other way..

Nancy

not all of them it is either they were born in the southern area or there parent are from the south

Sorry, but like most of the others have said... we don't all have southern accents. Me, I tend to change accents based on where we are living. Just came from ND, so I have a very strong ND accent, lots of long o's. Before that, I had pretty much lost any sign of an accent... lived in Germany for 5 years, and even lost my midwest nasal twang. Currently picking up a bit of a British accent, which is really interesting thrown in with the ND!

I was a military wife and I didn't. And where my husband was stationed, neither did the other wifes. Maybe you are in tx. I would imagine most of the wifes there do.

mmuscs

Because they are from the south?

erehwon

Only military wives from the south have southern accents...not ALL of them.

Daniel

What ?

Chris

Most of the US military bases are in the South. Most men enter the Army at 18 to 20 and are single. They are stationed in the south, and meet their future wives while they are their.

Mandie

I don't have a southern accent...and i'm a military wife. Ok??

laurabird

cause most are from the south

J J

Maybe because they marry military men to get out of the south!
