Which is the most neutral English accent?
Probably New Zealand I dont think we even really have an accent
By definition it's the British one
Burgers according to ESLs. Specifically the northeast outside of Boston/New York
There's no such thing, and outside of a few meme accents in the British Isles, it's all more-or-less mutually intelligible.
Australian
Probably the type of english that Buzzfeed videomakers speak.
cockney
Transatlantic probably, if neutral means between British and American English but it's dead.
for me it's ulster
You've never heard 1st generation Africans speak bbc.com
Good riddance. That autismal bullshit makes it virtually impossible to study how AmE changed over time.
Queen's
fuck anything else
I thought about studying it unironically for some time but then I realized people would just associate it with old movies.
You couod totally do that though and people would think you are charming and nerdy
Most Americans associate the british accent with Reeves the butler and the Queen
Central Ohio tbqh, just listen to it. It's the clearest, most bland form of English
I don't know, I hear clear american accents like california valley girl, southerner, black English, New York accent, but there's some kind of neutral English that I don't even know where it is supposed to be from.
The BBC bong accent is the easiest to understand for me.
ey, I'm workin ere!
not too posh RP
there is just Standard North American English which runs from Canada throughout USA. even in places where there are distinct local patois like the deep south and New York lots of people use the standard dialect
It's called General American
en.wikipedia.org
this guy is right
The best English is my English. Simple as.
It doesn't actually exist. It's an imaginary standard that we try to dial our accents towards in mixed company, but subtle regional differences will remain.
Like the way of how Lauren Southern speaks. Sounds cool and easy to understand.
Of course there are always are regional differences but setting this impossible reductionist standard just means that languages and dialects don't exist in the first place and that every human being uses an individual idiolect.
>neededing to consciously mind your accent while around 'country'men from different regions
if you need to do this in your cunt you're not a cunt
How does it sound
Amazing hope you fail at sounding elitist and just come off as retarded
RP with Rs like Americans
It's subconscious, m8. Does Australia even have more than 2 (white) accents?
*How
Phone posting sorry about it
I don't think RP existed in the 1600s, but the American rhotic "R" sound used to be the standard in English, which is why we retained it.
Yeah but only like three.
Can’t stand non-rhotic English accents in native speakers and it’s impossible to understand when ESLs use it, so for me, it’s the Californian accent
theres inner city Americanised nasal and country bogan and everybodies somewhere on the scale in between those 2 depending on education/class/state/urbanness
R A R E
R A R E
most similar to american on the british isles, probably due to the number of scots-irish immigrants to the new world
This, regional accents are a spook. Only national accents exist. Foreigners usually can't tell where an accent is from beyond the country. There has to be a cut off point for accents somewhere, otherwise you could say there are 7 billion accents since everyone's voice is unique
Fuck off indo cunt gib western Guinea back.
Thanks for the free (You) gentlemen
Ding ding ding. This guy got it right. Hibernian English in general shares many characteristic features of both American and Standard British English.
Makes sense, 60% of the culture here is from Ulster Scots
In the future Aussie English will lose its uniqueness just like Canadian English did.
Say it with me: MOMMY!
might be right actually
You’re quite welcome, sir
->
Not the same thing
not an argument
I don't argue with retards.
Honestly probably not, distance from Yankistan will keep things pretty unique from Burgertown.
Plus the amount of slang that Aussies have incorporated into the language isnt going anywhere simply because we are lazy as fuck.
t. rural retard
>As a child, Colbert observed that Southerners were often depicted as being less intelligent than other characters on scripted television; to avoid that stereotype, he taught himself to imitate the speech of American news anchors
Pretty sad, as a fucking child.
Irish accents are trash.
What does that have to do with my post
Remember when he used to be funny and was actually enjoyable to watch. Man fuck nu-Colbert.
Based Hollywood. Suthern Ayuksints are a meme.
>accent is seen as extremely basic
>seen as annoying because it's everywhere
I just want some rare, unintelligible accent.
Australian-American hybrid accents are the most disgusting sounding to mankind
I dunno wherever i go i have an accent because ive got a full Queensland strong rural accent mixed with random bits of South African, and also i mumble and talk fast. Foreigners don't stand a chance.
Did white Rhodesians sound like Saffers?
yeah you can't really tell them apart by accent
You stationed there, or is it for work?
you do and its cute
>FUSH AND CHUPS
Work mate, wake up every morning not knowing what is going to happen. Honestly a beautiful country just can get real violent real quick. It honestly the new wild west.
A Yorkshireman is the default human being.
Stup a meet frum druving drunk? Leeeeeeegund...
Well no, they have a british accent.
I'd say south africans are the most articulate.
US english because it is most widely spoken. From here the midwestern "accent" is pretty neutral
Do the Afrikaners and the Anglos have distinct accents, or do they run together?
Stay safe man
Afrikaneers have a distinct accents. The few who have a British descent speak an english from a long time ago. Like French Canadians speaking a 19th century french.
Somehow they kept the prononciation.
Thanks family, keeping a low profile and carrying so I'm alright. Stay safe yourself.
>Which is the most neutral English accent?
Swiss English accent is pretty neutral.
probably the rare occurrence of a Murrican from Massacusetts or so who properly speaks English without any grammar mistakes (which is triggering me hard)
No, and your based and bribepilled government doesn’t want an independent West Papua either
finland has best english in europe
