There's variations in American accent too. Most noticable are probably the Northern & Southern accents. But there are also New England (Massachussetes, Vermont, Maine), North Eastern (New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, etc), South Eastern (Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Mississippi, etc) South Western (Texas, Oklahoma, etc) Cajun (Lousianna) Mid-Western (Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesotta, etc), Western (Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona), Pacific Plain (California, Oregon, Washington).

New York City alone has various accents i.e. Long Islander, Staten Islander, Brooklyn, Bronx, etc. Boston has its own variations. So does Chicago. Philly & Detroit have similar accents even though they are nowhere near each other. Most media outlets use Northern American accent. Most Americans associate Southern accent with low I.Q., confederate heritage and look down on it. The only people who speak it are people who live in the Bible belt in the deep South. But you can find Northern accent spoken all across from the East coast to the West coast. Mostly because the first inhabitants settled in the North East and spread out from there on.

My fav by far is the Boston accent, like matt damon in the departed i believe. That and New york accents mainly bronx is kinda sick.

Nobleman,

New England accent is what they speak down in Boston and it has heavy influences from the British Isles. Emphasis is on the lack of "r" in their words.

Bronx is mostly inhabited by blacks, Puerto Ricans, Italians, etc. They created their own variation.

Almost every ethnic group, including Jews in New York have their own version of English. :lol:
