Why don't Americans have an English accent?
They do. It's just that the English accent has actually evolved over time, whereas the American accent has become more entrenched in its current form.Originally, both the British and Americans spoke with a rhotic accent. Rhotic essentially means an accent where the letter 'r' is pronounced strongly after a vowel. Rhotic accents are strong in both the US and Scotland, but seem to have disappeared from British English and its derivatives, such as Australian and New Zealand English. The dominant American accent (the typical accent of the mid-western US) is rhotic, and British English is, as a rule, non-rhotic, but this is a relatively "recent" development over the past century or so.The rhoticity of US English is increasing, as older speakers of non-rhotic Southern variants die out, while the situation in UK is the opposite as the number of speakers of rhotic accents such as West Country fall away.

Why do British people pronounce words ending in A like ER example if they say the Diana they will say it like Dianer or Bella will be Beller Just curious?
Which British dialect adds an "r" to a word which doesn't possess one? I've not heard of one such. English is split into two groups, rhotic and non-rhotic, meaning the "r'' at the end of words is pronounced in rhotic dialects and elided in non-rhotic. An example of this is the pronunciation of the Australian city Melbourne- Australians (who have a non-rhotic variety of English) pronounce it "mel-bin" (the "i" being very soft) while many Americans saw "Mel- boRn" with the "r" pronounced distinctly (much to the amusement of Australians). Similarly, rhotic speakers will pronounce the "r" in "author".South-western accents, towards Cornwall, Devon and Bristol tend to add "R"s. The Forest of Dean commonly do this too - it's common in and around Cinderford. Listen to the Archers on Radio 4 for more examples!
