why do people have accents because of where they are from?

Answer 1

Because the of the method and style of communication,talking and other influences gets inside the style of speaking and becomes an accent.British people talk from their nasal cavity while American speak from the back of their throats and asian people speak with the tongue at the roof of the mouth.Their is a whole science known as speach pathology.

Answer 2

People learn to talk from what they hear as babies/toddlers, as well as later in life. For example if you were to go to Australia and live there for a number of years, you would probably get some of the Australian 'drawl', or accent, in your voice. You probably wouldn't notice it yourself but those who knew you would. It's the same when you're trying to loose weight. You don't notice it but see someone who hasn't seen you for a while and they will say, haven't you lost a lot of weight! It's the same principle. :)

Answer 3

It's passed down from each generation. As a child you repeat what you hear. You have the same "accent" as your family and friends that surround you. This is the case anywhere else.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Answer 10

it is hard to erase how you learned to talk.so when you decide to learn another language the way you say things go back to the original way of talking.i personally can hide my accent well but,certain things just come out an expectly.
