wrong. not state, region. somebody from the southwest region will have a different accent than a person from the New England region, but somebody from New Mexico can have the same accent as a texan, and a new Mexican can have a Mexican accent.

most new Mexicans have a Mexican accent, even if they do not speak Mexican. people just learn that accent from other people.

most people from Arizona have the same accent as an Alaskan. the reason? back in the 19th century, people went to Arizona on wagon trains, but other people from the same origin went to Alaska. the places are confined and so immigrants don't go there. southerner accent (howdy 'yall etc.) was a type of scottish, and it changed slightly. not state, origin, and region.

Why do people in London speak English with an accent?

A given language, such as English, tends to develop regional accents because of a phenomenon formally known as linguistic drift. People talk to other people in their vicinity much more than they talk to more distant people. Small changes enter a language at random, or because someone thinks it is easier, or sounds better, to say something in a particular way, and other people imitate what they hear. Everybody learns about language from everybody else; we all try to some degree to sound like the other people we hear. Language slowly changes, it drifts into something new. And each region is drifting in its own direction. There are manyaccents in Great Britain, not just the London accent, just as there are also many accents in the US, and there is a different accent in Australia, and a different (but relatively mild) accent in Canada, and so forth. The state of Massachusetts has its own accent. A person from Alabama sounds different than a person from New Jersey. And so forth.

'Scouse' is the name for the accent spoken by those who live in Liverpool. At one time it was almost a dialect with lots of local words. It tends to be much less broad than it was fifty years ago, as we all are exposed to different accents through the media. I can only hear my own when I listen to a recording.

Matter tends to exist in its what energy state?

Matter tends to exist in its energy ground state. Both the nucleus and the electron cloud have energy states, representing different levels of excitation. The tendency is to return to ground or lowest state, and when that happens, a photon is emitted with charge representing the energy transition. When the photon comes from the nucleus, it is a gamma ray; when the photon comes from the electron cloud, it is an x-ray.
