Accents and Dialects

I am from Utah. And we don't say our ts for example we say moun'n instead of mountain and brigt'n and layt'n instead of brightn and layton. We say famlee instead of family. And like we say nothin or nut'n is stead of nothing. we don't say the full -ing just mainly the -in part

Well England is part of Britain, so the more correct English is British English. So I'd think British English is easily better. Americans are speaking English - they've just changed a few words; it's not that big a difference.

Yes, people from Wisconsin may have accents, although the accent may not be as distinct as in some other regions of the United States. The accent in Wisconsin can vary depending on the specific region within the state. Some common features include the use of "ope" and "ya know" in conversation.

It seems like you may be referring to the Cuban Spanish accent, which is distinct from other Spanish accents due to its unique intonation, pronunciation, and vocabulary influenced by the island's history and culture. Visitors often find it melodious, lively, and full of character.

We do.

Everyone has a different accent according to someone else. Within the US there are many different accents. I live in the south and we have a southern accent. People from the North east have what we down south call a Yankee accent.

People from the Midwest have a distinct accent from other parts of the country.

Americans have an accent known as the American accent. People who do not have the accent hear it, but to someone that has the accent it can not be heard because they are used to speaking it. British people do not have an accent but to Americans and other countries they do for example.

Many English people find American accents appealing or interesting. However, preferences for accents can vary among individuals. Some may find American accents charming, while others might not have a strong opinion either way.

The English Accent tends to use more open vowel sounds. They also use a thing called the 'glottal stop' quite a lot. You might want to look up youtube videos for that. They basically use it within words, even words such as 'water' so that it sounds like 'wo'a'

The Australian Accent is more drawn and the words kind of run into each other. Casually speaking, they do have a glottal stop but to a lesser degree - they only really use it at the end of a string of words.

A regional accent is an accent that is determined by geographic boundaries. Although there are no sharp borders to delineate where a Southern accent "starts" and a Midwestern accent "ends," regional accents are determined by the city, state, or other area that you live or grew up in.

A social accent is determined by your socioeconomic status. So people living in the same region can have different accents if they belong to different socioeconomic groups, and vice versa.

However, dialect is probably a better term than accent. Accent refers only to the way that you pronounce words, while dialect includes things like vocabulary.

If you are a non-native English speaker, you can visit a Accent Coach or a Speech-Language Pathologist, and they can assess your speech sounds patterns, intonation/prosody, and grammatical differences. Based on what they find, they can tailor a program for you so you can be aware of what you are doing now and how to change it.

I am from Capiz and our dialect is Hiligaynon or commonly known as Ilonggo

The easiest accent to learn often depends on your native language and personal preferences. Some find accents that closely match their own language easier to learn, while others may find accents with clear pronunciation and simple phonetics easier. It's best to choose an accent that you enjoy and feel motivated to practice.

A Sicilian accent typically involves pronouncing certain consonants more heavily, with elongated vowels and a melodic cadence. It may also incorporate unique intonations and speech patterns that set it apart from other Italian dialects.

"As you sow, so shall you reap." This phrase emphasizes the consequences of one's actions, suggesting that our actions will have corresponding outcomes in the future.

Overall, people in Brazil do not have a British accent. The official language in Brazil is Portuguese, and thus the majority of people speak with a Portuguese accent. However, due to global influences, some Brazilians may speak English with a British accent if they have been exposed to that dialect.

"Nonnie" is a term for grandma commonly used in Italian dialect.

The British spelling is "squash" and the American spelling is also "squash." Both countries use the same spelling for this word.

Chicagoans typically have a "Chicago" accent, which is a variation of the Midwestern accent. It is known for features such as the pronunciation of "short a" sounds, such as in "back" or "cat," as well as the absence of a strong "r" sound.

A dialect shaped by geographic location is called a regional dialect. It refers to variations in language due to the influence of a specific geographical area, such as differences in vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar within a particular region. regional dialects can develop over time as a result of isolation, migration, and contact with other languages.

English is a language. There are many dialects of English. See the wikipedia related link for a list of all English Dialects.

Dialects are linguistic varieties which differ in pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar from each other and from Standard English (which is itself a dialect).

Italian language solidified under the influence of the Tuscan dialect, particularly the version spoken by Florentine writers like Dante Alighieri. Their works in the 14th century helped establish the Tuscan dialect as the standard form of Italian.

The English language is the language of Americans because one of the main groups of European settlers came from England. There were also large groups of French and Spanish who came, but people tend to group with others like themselves and who speak the same language. As history played out over the first couple of centuries in North America, the French and English predominated in Canada; the English predominated in the US; and the Spanish predominated in Mexico. Although there were settlers from many other places, the languages of these countries reflect the largest groups that brought these countries into existence.

The huge 19 th century influx of immigrants from many different countries changed American English more than anything. This didn't happen in Britain until about 1970, so the dialects in Britain are still very regional.

The two most common dialects of English spoken in the US are General American English and Southern American English. General American English is often associated with a neutral accent and is commonly spoken in the Midwest and West Coast regions. Southern American English is characterized by features such as the Southern drawl and is spoken in states across the southern US.

If you're in the US, people would probably say the Midwestern accent, though it's very region-dependent. Truly, as long as it isn't from the East Coast, it's close enough that it could be standard.
In British English, it's RP (received pronunciation). That's what you would hear on the BBC.
