Nah. OPbviously. people in London have their own London accent. And then it still depends what area in London. If you're from a posh area, you tend to sound more posh obviously. And a real East ender is very cockney.

In England there are many different accents I've noticed. People from the North(Manchester, Liverpool etc.) sound very different from people from south-east. And then there are the other countries like wales and Scotland. and they themselves have a lot of variety in the way they speak english.

Different languages? Like Welsh speaking english with a welsh accent could have to do with the fact that, their original language is...welsh. It sounds very beautifull, I think. Same for the Scots and the Irish with their Gaelic.

Well think of the long drawl in Louisiana, definetly a mixture of english, french...etc.

In Surinam(my parents are from there) themain language is Dutch. The difference is that people there have quite a "carribean"accent. There's a lot of english inflictions and West-African modulations. It's still Dutch but, the accent has been affected by the different languages

Tsk tsk. Americans are so insular. probably because your country is so damn huge.

Surinam is a small country in South America. it's between Guyana and French Guyana on the northern coast of the continent. old Dutch colony.

The Dutch traded New York state(was colled New amsterdam, back then) for Surinam with the Brits(for the gold obviously).... stupid decision. New York could have been New Amsterdam!!!

I have heard of that country but I didnt know it was in S America, I thought it was either in middle Asia or in Africa.

Learn something new everyday! :toot


back to the accents thing. I havre noticed there is a large variety of English accents. Actually I think that the Liverpool accent sounds like Irish!

It's where my parents are from and the cultural birthplace of the way I was raised, man! :rocks I feel more surinam than I feel Dutch. Ofcourse I know about my "kondre"'s history!!!! *proud to be Surinam"


With insular i mean that America is a continent on itself with so many people in it that, it doesn't require them to find out a lot about other countries because theyhave plenty to find out about their own huge nation and all it's individual states. I've read that 80% of US citizens don't own a passport as they travel within their own country mostly. No wonder; it's so huge. Not like Europe. europe is smaller but, if I cross the border on either side, there's three different cultures and languages to speak!
