which American accents do you find the most like yours?

It's because you guys pronounce some remarks very similarly, like the last syllable of words like centre and wonder for example. The r`s are similar too imo

I can rarely tell South African and Australian apart.

I'm not an anglo.

Why did the British lose the British accent?

It's new worlders autism. Brazilians say the same desu

they're purely talking about rhoticity

actually the same reason with French in Quebec funnily enough, the Quebecois rolled r is considered archaic

c'hai ragione, uomo d'albione

internal migration

Except most of us don't roll their rs anymore

didn't ask

Brits sound like snobby racists.

This is what Colonial Americans sounded like

Lots of Ulster folk came here

it's probably a bit similar to most American accents, but it's also just a divergent and possibly archaic Tidewater accent

Nice anecdote, but the fact is no Aussie accent sounds like anything in Great Britain.

West coast a tiny bit in some ways, the south is actually a shitty Irish accent.

how do I distinguish australians from new zealanders based purely off of speech patterns?

ask 'em to say chips

Or ask em if they have a deck

new zealand vowels are more up and forward, short e can lead towards a short i

Ask them what they call a case of six beers.

you mean sex beyas?

I spoke with some Brit on here once and he said that he thought Boston accents sounded British and I have never once thought that but that might be because I am from there
ex:
youtube.com/watch?v=r0IQCLQDfKw

Yeah not soox bières

Dialect

he was probably confusing Boston accents with JFK-style old fashioned New England accents.

He said he visited and was talking to some Bostonians though

I thought it was because of immigrants. Irish, german, italian and bam you have a new language melting pot

hate this meme
