A lot of people meet me and ask me if I am from Fredericksburg. They say I sound Fredericksburg accent. I am from Northern Virginia, but I am from north and west of there. Ironically, I do have family connections to the area. What do y'all think?

Kind of a unique request so I thought. Dylan something.

I have numerous friends in Fredericksburg and have visited it often. I couldn't even begin to describe what a "F'burg" accent might sound like.

Yes there must be. People always say "Hey are you from Fredericksburg, Virginia"? I say no, I am from Loudoun County. I have family in F'burg and Richmond. I don't know why I am not a Frednecker but everyone says I am. Oh well, its my new home town!

You sound like someone born in New York trying on a Southern accent.

After watching the video, your accent doesn't sound like a VA accent unless it's somewhere in southern VA - not Fredericksburg and certainly not NoVA. The inflections on certain words make it sound more like a deep south accent. Such as "questions" at the 33 sec mark.

I have a Central VA accent and some have mistaken it for an SW VA or NC accent. I suppose some just haven't spoken too often with folks from central VA.
