    Huh. I wanna say it’s wild to claim people from Arizona and New Mexico have Midwestern accents, but I’ve only just realized I have no clue what the hell they do have. Midwestern accents, I guess?

      Well some of new Mexico has a variation of norteno accent. You can find some versions online, also burqeunos. Those are the extremes of new Mexican accents but no new Mexican sounds like Midwestern accent

      It’s definitely not Midwestern. Grew up in Colorado and have lived in Ohio and Arizona. Arizona is much more a mountain west accent.
