The English accent doesn't equal to a British accent as it does not exist
Surely you should know that a Scottish Irish or Welsh ,..is different from an English accent ..

There is no such thing as a British accent and due to you being an outsider I don't expect
you to be able to differentiate between the different accents. So never mind ,... this post ..

^ I consider all of you Bucktooth, citizens of Britain.

Although, I find quite interesting the accent our beloved Celtic women speak in.


I take back what I said about the British accent.

Celtic Women ROCK !

here is no such thing as a British accent and due to you being an outsider I don't expect
you to be able to differentiate between the different accents.

Even a deaf person would be able to tell the a scottish or an irish accent from an english accent.

There's no such thing as an English accent though.
Heck the city of Glasgow alone has more than 2 accents

I don't care

well there is southern american accent, new york accent, california accent etc. but they are still all american accents because they all sound more similar to each other than they do to say someone who speaks with a australian accent.

Australian accent is weird.

It's like a bootlegged version of British, Canadian and American combined.

Great Britain, Britannia, The United Kingdom, Albion, England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales... The list goes on and on into which Britain is known as to people around the globe.
It strikes me as odd, due to the fact that we have four countries that sew Britain up; England, Northern Ireland ("Ulster"), Wales and Scotland, that it's often described as, amongst none-British folk, the British accent.
Considering Britain is the most diverse country in the world in accent terms, and has over 1000 different accents from the point of the very top of it, to the very base of the bottom of it- So really, there is NO particular "British Accent" as people describe it to be

In America I assume you have regional accents ?

How's South London? I mean, same accent, but what do you consider it to be? Ghetto? Middle Class? OR same?

Im from SW.. But Alhamdullah I dont have a London accent due to my nomadness

Regarding your question it depends where in south london someone was raised.. Most madows and Somalis i know have ghetto accents though

Berke - But not all English accents sound alike or similar for that matter.. For example someone with a scouser accent would sound more similiar to someone from Ireland than to someone from Southern England.
The so called English accent is pretty diverse.

No.

In America, we have Southern Accent, New York Accent, West Coast Accent, Mid-West Accent.

The most famous accent is the New York. The Southern Accent is mainly spoken my African American and White racist cultivators .
