TheAnimationFanatic 3,598 December 14, 2020 Share December 14, 2020 We know Applejack (and the Apple Family)'s accent is Southern, but what kind of Southern, specifically? There's different kinds.

Denim&Venöm 19,808 December 14, 2020 Share December 14, 2020 Sounds Appalachian to me. Specifically Virginian/ West Virginian. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeric 46,871 December 15, 2020 Share December 15, 2020 The whole of the main Apple Family from Sweet Apple Acres have somewhat unique accents. Applejack and Big Mac are based loosely on the Ozarks style accent (Missouri mountain area). Applejack’s dialect is all over the map though. She uses slang that is from all sorts of rural areas, same as Granny. Applebloom is a Frankenstein Monster of Texas mixed with either Kansas or Georgia. Pretty sure she just intended it to sound generically southern, but her ‘r’ is definitely in the east Texas ballpark, and nasality and twang are kinda all three. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay I have to ask how you've become so well versed in southern dialects, because you didn't sound particularly southern when we met last year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say it's closer to West Virginia, Georgia, or even Tennessee. "Work Hard!
