@Soossie Thank you for the compliment!
Actually it's Accent... [i]s[/i]! Plural! :-)
The UK has four generic country accents: Northern Irish, Scots, Welsh and English; and within them a very wide range of regional accents and dialects.
Sometimes we find it hard to understand someone with a strong local accent from another part of our own country!
Oh, and to make it more fun, the Welsh, Scots and Irish also have their own country languages, though it's mainly the Welsh who have kept theirs alive and in daily use. They speak English too!

I am from the midwest. Was at dinner once in AZ and someone from Belgium of all places asked if I was from a (named) city here. I grew up in that city. Maybe not as much an accent, as I have way of speaking that is likely derived from the plattdeutsch spoken by my ancestors when they came from Germany ain'a...

@BrewCityBarfly wow!! I am from cinci. Heavily settled by germans

Everyone has an accent, but we tend not to think we do when surrounded by people with much the same accent. We notice visitors and incomers to our locality not because they have an accent, but because theirs differs from ours.
Our Mam still had traces of her native English Midlands accent, particularly noticeable on the 'phone, until the end; despite my parents having moved the 200 miles from there to Southern England more than fifty years previously.
I am noticeably a native of Southern England by voice to my friends even further North; but I am told by fellow S. English I do sound slightly Northern. That is from my parents' accent and some influence from those friends 300 miles away up in Yorkshire. (MIdlands and Northern English accents are generically somewhat similar, but still cover a very wide range of regional voices and dialects.)

@akindheart, you don’t have an accent because you’re in the Midwest where they all have a Midwest accent. 😁. No one in Boston has an accent either! 😳😆

@Darin99branch lol. Point taken
