Oddly enough, they came here with it. American English derives from 17th Century English speech. Within a few generations, English pronunciation had changed significantly in England, but being very conservative like all transplanted linguistic communities, the English in America retained the old pronunciations and forms that were becoming extinct in the Mother Country.

The Philippines has many dialects due to its diverse cultural and geographical landscape. The archipelago's history of being colonized by different countries has also influenced the development of various languages and dialects in different regions. Additionally, the Philippines' decentralized education system has led to the preservation of local dialects alongside the national language.

Region 10 of the Philippines consists of Camiguin, Misami Oriental, Lanao del Norte, Bukidnon, and Mismis Occidental. The five major dialects spoken in the region are Cebuano, Tagalog, Hllgaynon, Manobo, and Maranao.

Everyone has an accent. Some people like to say the California accent is the "standard" American English pronunciation but there is no such thing. Californians have their own way of pronouncing vowels and certain words just like everywhere else in the US.

I'm from Vermont and I spent three weeks in California a few years back.... They didn't notice my accent, and I didn't notice theirs, except for those people whose first language was not English. Otherwise, as far as I could tell they didn't have remarkable accents.

People with a Geordie accent come from Newcastle and the surrounding areas in northeast England, such as Gateshead and Sunderland. The accent is known for its distinctive pronunciation and vocabulary.

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.

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.
