Can you usually detect regional accents on Americans? I can't distinguish between different types of British accents. Sometimes it takes me a little while to tell whether it's Australian, South African or British.  |
I can only really detect general areas of some accents. Mainly due to tv and fillums.
I can usually tell the difference between a Canadian and American accent.
There are just as many regional accents and lingo here as there are there. I'd say more folks sound Downtown Alley than Downton Abbey, but then I would say that, I'm a "...up t'back ginnel" northerner!
