    I have a strong norfolk accent, its never shown in movies that the sheer varity of accents england has for a small land space. If you ever watched Titanic, you'll notice that none of the englishhas a accent. Also no english person actually has that accent they portay in the films.

    My favourite accents would be British, Australian, Scottish/Irish. I used to have a strong Russian accent, but now I just sound French Canadian, which I am not.

    New Yorkers have one general accent, but Floridians, Californians, and Midwesterners DO have accents.

    I live in Wisconsin, so I have to deal with heavy yankee accents all the time. Like a Canadian dialect, but not as severe. Very often, I'm proud of my slight Southern accent, if for the sole reason of it meaning that I don't have a yankee accent.

    Untrue. There are like, 3 or 4 different New York accents. Queens, Brooklyn, Long Island and upstate, which really isn't an accent, kinda like with how Californians speak. Queens and Brooklyn could be considered one accent though. But there is definitely a difference between how an upstate accent, a Long Island accent, and a Queens/Brooklyn accent sound.

    Long Island accents are whiny sounding and general make you sound like an annoying Mom.

    Queen/Brooklyn accents elongate vowels. Like "Dawwwwg" and "Haaaairy Paddah" and "Awwwwrange." Brooklyn accents use D and G sounds a lot too in odd places. I have a Queens accent.

    That's about all I know exactly.

    Everyone has an accent, though people tend not to notice their own accents. 'Cause their own voice is 'normal' to them, so it doesn't stand out the way another person's will.

    Anyway.

    I've got a slightly unusual version of the New Zealand accent. I'm from the north, but I've absorbed the southern accent in the time I've been at university. People back home notice how I roll my Rs, for instance. But then, some people have trouble identifying me as a Kiwi at all.

    I like accents. Scottish accents are neat. I'm part Scottish, so that helps. Central European are also nice - German, Austrian, Dutch, and so forth. As for North America, I particularly like Canadian and New York accents. I'm getting better at identifying the different US accents, but I'm not quite good enough to tell one part of New York from another...

    I was told I had a New Brunswick accent. I was like what the heck? NBers have accents? I think not.

    Anyways, British accents are always nice to hear.

    I hate heavy, gutteral French accents that old French males sometimes have, you can barelly tell what their saying...

    Besides that I never was really exposed to many accents, though I have heard plenty attempts for English speaking people tp speak French with horrible (yet at times funny) English accents, for they try to pronouce words as they do in English.
