people on TV (american TV) are the standard by which I say I have no accent.

Californians, Pennsylvanians, Floridians, Arizonians......


In the US, there are (among others)the following accents:

starting in the north east: New Englander, Boston ( BAAAHSTAHHN), New Yoooorker, (see Tony Danza) Jersey (Joisey, hot dooowg) (see also: Tony Soprano) Pa Dutch ( sounds like german...aka Yoni)

South East
: Brett Favre, Elvis, etc.

Southern: Texan twangy

Cajun

Minnesota, yah,.....watch fargo, yah?

Middle American..... they say Pop for Soda, and have weird inflections.... listen to Elspode talk.... ( same thing going on in Pittsburgh)

I'm not really very familiar with Western accents..... Cicero, or Cloud or Lookout may be able to help.
