    Bronco's Accent

    Bronco has a really strange accent that's hard for me to place. Utah has several distinct accents, but I have a hard time placing his. For you non-Utahns, do all Utahns sound like Bronco?

    There are a few different accents in Utah, but yeah, I'd charactarize his accent as a Utah accent.

      He strikes me as having a return missionary accent. It seems like a lot of recently returned missionaries have a strange way of talking. I've noticed it more with Spanish speaking missionaries, but it isn't exclusive to them.

          All I know is that he sounds better than people who live in Northern Minnesota. You Betcha!

            I just wish he would stop substituting the word "me" with "myself" he sounds like an idiot. Also, I hate the word "synergistic" and all of its variants regularly used by Bronco.

              I'll likely get flamed for this but the Utah accent that grates on me the most is the "old man southern Utah farmer" one. Like L. Tom Perry.

                I'm with you. My wife's grandfather has that accent and I can hardly understand him. He's from Blanding.

                  That's the same as the FLDS accent, isn't it? That is a nasty one.

                    The Provo/Orem accent is pretty thick sometimes. If they pronounce 'Orem' as 'Ourm' it's a dead giveaway.

                      I think it's a generic Utahan accent. He is just has a weird way of expressing himself, with pauses and tortured phrases that make him hard to listen to for long (to me anyway).

                        Bronco grew up in Alpine before all the new money from California moved in and turned it into a bedroom community. It was a horse and farm town and was as rural as it gets. After high school he went to Ephraim. If you've ever been to a live session at the Manti temple you know how they talk there. Square becomes Squawr, etc. In listening to him I think his accent is kind of a mix of rural Utah (where river forks are farks) and the Wasatch Front (where a deal is a dill but a fork isn't always a fark)

                          He sounds like a depressed motivational speaker who has been influenced by a general authority, a surfer and a farmer.

                            I love that accent. Rural Utahans are salt of the earth. Some of the best people I've ever known were those wonderful nobodies from places like Helper, Loa, Blanding and Tropic.
