Accents In 1776, whether you were declaring America independent from the crown or swearing your loyalty to King George III, your accent would have been much the same as everyone else's. At that time, American and British accents hadn't yet diverged. In fact, British accents has drastically changed in the past two centuries, while the typical American accent has changed only subtly. ?But when I hear an American accent I love it ?Traditional English, whether spoken in the British Isles or the American colonies, was largely "rhotic." Rhotic speakers pronounce the "R" sound in such words as "hard" and "winter," while non-rhotic speakers do not. ?Today, however, non-rhotic speech is common throughout most of Britain. For example, most modern Brits would tell you it's been a "hahd wintuh." ~Sounds like me! Mofyy, this explains why I don't say the 'R' as clear because I guess I'm a modern Brit. ?That's only two countries' accents and there are hundreds of countries.? What's your favourite accent and why? Mofyy, you get that gif ?
I adore the British accent. I completely fangirl over that. I'm not sure why, it's just appealing.
