Where do accents come from??

Question

Like do us Americans have them? Is it the enviroment that gives an accent? Like people in North America don't got a British accent.. I'm really interested in knowing! Thank you.

Answer 1

Anyone has one according to anyone who you hear has one.

Answer 2

Accents are regional.  If you grow up in any disctrict of any state or county or small town, you will pick up the accent.  It's what you hear as a small child.  You learn to pronounce words the only way you have been taught.   Accents may change every 50 miles.   I have the gift of mimmicking accents.  Just listen to people and you'll be able to tell where they live.  I am a Canadian and I love your American accents.  My favourite is the Boston accent.
