#3Strange-the pronunciation changes that she demonstrates with "hand" seem to be bringing the accent closer to RP English!

#4Interesting. The "spanish influenced" accent described in the video sounds like standard English in southern california.

#5Ah, an article about my home state. It's worth pointing out how isolated this town is... Interstate doesn't even run through that part of the state, and the nearest 'big city' is hours away.

Isolation is probably an important factor for the development of an accent

#8Dialects are interesting. While it's still mutually intelligible, it's an accent. I wonder whether the Liberal accent will develop into a separate language like Louisiana Creole?
I made some graphs about the status of languages in Windows/macOS/Ubuntu/Google Translate/Facebook/Wikipedia/IB, and included a section about dialects of Chinese.

Yeah, I get the feeling they make a big fuzz out of it. In the video she’s mentioning the different ways an “a” is pronounced. If you look at England, every other towns has a different accent (that’s what I’ve heard)
