That and it's like it always sounds like a question, if that makes sense.Every sentence ended with "eh"?

Like I said, hard to describe, but easy to hear.
Nope.It's the Californians who speak in questions.
The Canadians are all aboot politeness...And they are super polite, even when they are angry.
Ayuh.Every sentence ended with "eh"?
Try playing hockey with us and see just how polite we are.And they are super polite, even when they are angry.

I'm from Southern California (Orange County native) and that's news to me.Californians use the preparatory "so". Ask them a question, and the first word of the answer is very often "So, [...]".
Also, they talk fast, at least in SoCal.

The one linguistic stand-out, is "Surfer Speak", but that's a sub-culture and not wide-spread. They'll typically start a sentence with the word "like" and it may pop up again during the course of the conversation.
Example: "Like, the waves are totally pounding, bro. We need to, like, get out and carve a few!"
An appropiate response would be:
"Dude, I know, right?"
805? Oh now that's different.
That's the Ventura area (I mentioned earlier), they have always had their own language.
That's the land of the infamous "Valley Girls" of the 80's and 90's - those of us in true SoCal had nothing to do with them.
Have I ever mentioned I cannot stand SoCal?
If not…
I really do.
I escaped the madness and moved 550 north of Anaheim, straight up the 5 to Redding, which is true NorCal.Yeah, when Frank Zappa hit the charts with it, I was actually living in CenCal, and Valley-speak had its heyday there too, but Tarzana and SFV were ground=zero for that abomination. It hung on in Vta County 'til around 86 or so.
Anything south of SB was true SoCal to us, but whatever.
