Why does my accent change I'm 100 percent british and so are all my family but my accent changes from SLIGHT british to fully American why does this happen to me I sound especially American at night?

It is probably because you live in the states now and everyone around you has an American Accent. It is weird for me, because I have a closer British than American accent, and no one I even know has a British accent, so I guess mine is like a freak thing. (and no it is not a lysp or talking difficulty. everyone has actually told me I have a British accent, even British people..)

What was the American accent like around 1850?

Around 1850, the American accent was significantly influenced by regional dialects and the diverse backgrounds of settlers, including British, Irish, German, and Native American languages. The accent was characterized by a more pronounced rhoticity, meaning that the "r" sound was often fully articulated, particularly in New England and the South. Additionally, the American accent of this period had not yet fully developed the distinct features that would later emerge, leading to a variety of accents that reflected local speech patterns and social influences. Overall, it was a transitional period in American English, with evolving pronunciation and vocabulary.


If you were born in Belgium and lived there for only 2 years but you didn't know how to speak and then you moved to the US would you have an accent?

No.No.Accents are acquired from those who are around us most. You can pick up an accent any time in your life after you have learned to speak. As anyone who has been in the Army can attest, accents come and go depending on whom you are around and what parts of the world you find yourself. Move to the American south and you will likely pick up a southern accent. Germans I knew who learned English from Brits spoke with a British accent but an underlying German accent as well. So, in answer to your question, you would not likely have a Belgian accent unless you picked it up from your Belgian-speaking parents, and yes, you would have an accent that corresponded to the region of the US to which you had moved.
