how Meany kind of English accent exist.?

Question

for exampel ;USA ,UK, .........

Answer 1

add the indian accent also in your list.

Answer 2

there are more than you could ever count. in some places in England the accent changes noticeably every few hundred metres, especially in the big cities. then there are all the regional pronunciations in the USA, Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Australia, and every different regional pronunciation of all the countries of the British Commonwealth, which is 53 countries. I live in Canada and there are 8 or 9 general regional pronunciations that I can think of here, plus the different accents of the Native peoples and the Metis, and then there is the fact that in the biggest cities here there are so many immigrants for whom English is a second language that sometimes it seems like every person has his or her own pronunciation and every day I hear the language spoken differently. I don't know how many people on this planet speak English as their primary language, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were somewhere in the neighbourhood of a billion. Add in all the people who speak it as a second language and it keeps English a very dynamic language.

Answer 4

it depends what you mean exactly. I'm from the UK and in my opinion you can't say that there's one UK English accent. it varies wildly from town to town (eg Liverpool, London, Birmingham and Yorkshire accents are all completely different and and the same is true in the USA and everywhere else that English is spoken. and then within these accents there are subtle differences in accent that is blantently obvious to local people but others might not notice

If however you want to know more generally the number of english speaking countries (with a general english accent associated with it) then the answer would be;

Answer 5

I think thousands, you would need to consider whether they are native English speakers such as UK, USA, Australia, NZ or people who have chosen to speak English in which case they would speak with an accent native to their own tongue, and remember even in one country different parts have differing accents...in short no short answer.

Answer 6

A Few i would think, USA, Canadian, UK, Australia, NZ, and anywhere else they speak english.
If a Frenchman speaks English then that is again a diff accent.

Answer 7

USA alone has about forty accents. Hillbilly, for example, is in a league of its own, as is ebonics. The most confusing and hardest to understand is called "Bushisms". They originate in the White House.

Answer 8

USA, Canadian, Australian, England, South Africa
