The Geography of accents

Hello everybody this is my Blog on the Geography of accents. This Blog will go over the different accents and where they originate from.


                
                    One popular accent is the British accent which is viewed as being posh this is mainly spoken in England with heavier or lighter accents ranging from where you live in the country. Received pronunciation is the closest to a normal accent that has ever existed in Britain. Although it originally comes from London English it is not regional.  You have probably heard this accent a lot of times in Jane Austen movies . It emerged from the 18th and 19th Century and has remained the best.
              


                 

  Another popular accent is the American accent this is mainly considered to be loud and obnoxious.This describes the Boston accent. It also refers to similar accents in Eastern Massachusetts Rhode Island Maine Eastern New Hampshire and Eastern Connecticut. The most important feature of this is Bostoners drop the r at the end of syllables.
