What type of accent did the wright brothers have?

The Wright brothers, Wilbur and Orville, were from Dayton, Ohio. Therefore, they likely spoke with a Midwestern accent.

While there's no audio recording of them speaking, their letters and interviews from the time period suggest a regional dialect typical of the Midwest. They likely had:

* A flat, neutral tone - common in the Midwest.

* Slightly drawn-out vowels - characteristic of the region.

* Use of "pop" instead of "soda" - a common Midwestern colloquialism.

However, it's important to remember that accents are fluid and vary even within a region. They would have likely sounded different from each other, too.
